“We had dinner at Chef Vola’s on 9/17/25 to celebrate my Birthday. What an excellent dinner and experience. The service is wonderful and our head waiter Anthony is a great guy who provides the best service. The food is beyond comparing it to another restaurant. My wife had the salmon with special sauces that she said was the best she ever had. The bone in veal parmigiana was the best I have ever had by far and there is no comparison. We had the blush pasta which also was outstanding. Our sincere gratitude to the Chef Vola staff for making my birthday extra special.“

He suggested the Bronzini and it was outstanding. The Broccoli Rabe that came with it was a little on the dry side but the fish was fresh and sauce amazing. My daughter had Gnocchi and that was delish as well. Thank you Bill for a lovely evening, make sure to ask for him!“

“These best in town! Always great service and food! 🍕“

“This Place was the best place I ever went to in Atlantic City outside the casino areas. What a vibe. It makes you not want to get out of your seat. Reminds you of your Sunday family dinners with an explanation point. So much fun and attention to making sure you come back. New owners are from South Philly and are a blast to be around. The food, well is probably the best i ever had with my party of 6. Great place for food, entertainment and cocktails. You can stay and have a blast all night. They are expanding into a bigger area right next door!! Up and coming this is a must go to“

“My Salon had our Christmas party at Vive Bene. The ambience was beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was the best we have ever experienced and we’ve been doing this for 14 years. thank you guys for a wonderful night.“

“This was an excellent dining experience for the most part! The service was great and the food was great. We had just returned from Italy and were reminiscing with some friends about the food and how it compared to the freshness of the meals at Sunday gravy. But toward the end of the meal you could tell we were being rushed… and then the hostess confirmed that our bill was paid and then actually asked us to leave 😳. Because she had tables waiting. How embarrassing and disappointing. No where on the online reservation did it say we had a time limit.“

Top notch. The food was fresh and prepared to perfection! We all had seafood. One of the ladies and I had the red snapper over linguini for two. So delicious! A delightful evening!“

“I've now been there three times for lunch. We split a burger and cheese steak on the first visit. Both were excellent. Owner Gus brought out a couple of slices of pizza for us to try. Both were so good, I decided to go for the Eggplant pizza on my second vist. I was there again yesterday with a party of three, a pizza, eggplant parm on a seeded roll, and an amazing chicken cutlet sandwich. Highly recommend for food, service, and friendly staff.“

“This was our first time here and it won't be our last. This place was outstanding with everything from the food to the ambience to our server Anthony who was fantastic. He explained all of the favorites on the menu and he didn't disappoint. We had the short rib risotto and shrimp polenta dishes and they were delicious. It's a perfect date night spot, it was not loud and we're able to hear each others conversation.“

“Any Chef who can get me to like Risotto, which I normally do not, has a round of applause from me! Tried the Salmon with black herbed risotto, and was not disappointed. I thought I would be adventurous 🤷‍♂️ my favorite salmon dish I ever had. Cooked perfectly! And, I not only tolerated the Risotto, I loved it as well. Service was quick. Atmosphere is 1930's like, which they should really go all in for.“

“Our party of three had delicious cheeseburgers 🍔 and fries for lunch watching the Eagles beat Detroit!! We’ve been here many times and always a good time.“

“best food in town“

“I work at Absecon Family Dental and I had to run to the UPS store to return something and I decided to pick up something for myself and my son. Didn't want to cook, I drove around and spotted Napoli Pizza Grill. I walked in and it smelled amazing. I ordered a Sicilian Margherita Pizza. It was the longest 55 minute drive, especially on an empty stomach. I love this gem of a place, it took me back to my hometown NYC. I love this place, they were welcoming and the place is so clean. I'm going to let my coworkers know about you guys. Again thank you guys for the great Pizza. Customer for life, many blessings to you all“

“Great food & service! I got the bow tie pasta and it was incredible and my fiancé got the steak and said it was great. Staff was super friendly, however, there were these older drunk men at the bar (about 5 or 6 of them) and they were being so loud, cursing, and just carrying on and making a huge scene. I literally had to yell at my fiancé who was sitting RIGHT next to me. They ruined the whole vibe and experience. The staff did nothing to quiet them and they were just so freaking obnoxious!!“

“Great food & great service“

“This place is such a VIBE....The food was phenomenal, we had the watermelon salad (oh my lord, the flavor in this was outstanding, so glad I tried it), the lobster gnocchi, and the lobster, shrimp and scallop Fra Diavolo - both excellent dishes! The complimentary bread and olive oil plate that came out before our meals was also exceptional, full of spices and flavor. We booked on Resy and were seated immediately upon arrival. The food came out quickly and the service was excellent as well. Our waitress was excellent and very attentive, and the manager and chef came to our table during our dinner to check in. The additional staff that refilled our water and cleared our plates were also very friendly. The atmosphere is upscale and the view of the marina is spectacular. Well done LaBarca we'll be back soon !!“

“The best chicken cheesesteak I have ever had in my life. Will never order elsewhere. Two words - twist bread!!!“

“Ah, first time here tonight. Incredible service, literally insane food, booming with flavor. Our server Nora was the sweetest. If you’re in town you won’t have regrets! 12/10!“

“Last night was our 1st time there, and I must say, it was OUTSTANDING. We had chicken Parm, 9th street chicken, Veal Milanese, and Linguini w/chicken. All dishes had excellent presentation, very hot and huge! Food was delicious. Atmosphere was a bit tight and loud especially if you want to have a conversation, but overall we really enjoyed it. We will be going back and recommending this restaurant. Going to try the Pizza as that looked great!“

“Great food , best pizza around with fresh ingredients and high quality pizza sauce ! Rocco (owner ) is genuinely a great person !“

“Came across this place while driving through Margate. Ordered the Seafood Pescatore. They give you a massive amount of clams calamari, mussels and crabmeat on a small bed of linguine. More seafood than pasta. Definitely worth the $29 I paid for the dish. I had a side of chicken pastina soup. Soup was very good and the pastina was al dente which is very difficult to do. The service was fast and efficient and the restaurant itself was clean and so was the restroom.“

“Simply the best! From delicious food to a fun atmosphere, Bocca does it right. Always have great specials and other deals going on too. Either a quick lunch to catering an event, Bocca would definitely be on the top of my list around the area.“
