Great spot, good food and great service. The staff is friendly and the crowd is great too.

I ordered a drink which wasn’t made correctly so requested they replace with glass of wine then when my meal arrived looked dried, fettuccine alfredo, but I mixed up and started eating however was over powered with garlic and I sent back. Everybody else was happy with their burgers, onion soup was tasteless but they ate. My issue was they charged me, without telling me only one item could be bad. The manager told me well I could pay for one or the other, bad drink for $11 or fettuccine for $20. Very odd but I opted for paying for drink I couldn’t drink!!! Guess won’t be going back there again!! But place was packed so guess people do rnjoy

I have they they always find a way to accommodate our large family!! Even during special events.
My father's funeral reception luncheon was held at Villa Rifici in Absecon. Chris the owner and staff were very accommodating. Everything was just perfect from the salad,fresh bruschetta and penne pasta. The entrees were amazing as well. I will definitely visit this establishment in the future. Thanks for making everyone feel comfortable during our families tough day.

I just traveled in and was looking forward to some good Italian food so the hotel recommend this place. I arrived and went into this dark outdated restaurant. I asked to sit outside and the waitress was very accommodating. As I sat there I noticed water all around me and my feet were in it. There also was a faint smell of sewer!! I moved to another table which was better. I ordered the chicken parm. The salad came out and was my first disappointment. It was made of iceberg lettuce and some wilted arugula, soft tomatoes. I didn’t eat much of it. My main course came out. The chicken parm was ok but the pasta was aweful. The noodles were not al dente but soft. The sauce was just ok nothing special. All in all the food was just ok. I don’t think I would ever go back. I love good Italian food and this was not up to par.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight at Rifici’s. Baked penne with ricotta and mozzarella cheese was piping hot and cooked to perfection. Had a choice of soup or salad and chose the chicken pastina soup. Yum! Dinner was served with warm rolls and dipping oil. Half pound hamburger and fries were equally as good. Service was excellent.

Very disappointed. Was there before and everything was top notch. This past weekend the service was slow, the staff was rude, and they must have gotten a different cook because the food was OK whereas before it was awesome. We won't be going back.
Casino is clean but service is very low class I went to Chinese restaurants with a walker and the host make me lift the walker 2 flights of stairs she doesn't even told me was a ramp on the other side of the restaurant

The food took over an hour long. The servers did not refill drinks or waters. Had to walk up to the bar myself to refill drinks. Asked the server multiple times to fill up drinks and refused. Finally after an hour someone came out with beakers of water to refill some waters. The food was fairly decent for the chicken parm.

This was a regular stop on the way home from AC. Last time was great and this time sucked. The appetizers were good but dinner was horrible. Our waiter was slow, had an attitude and never communicated a delay in the kitchen. Forty minutes after we finished our appetizers AND spoke to the waiter our dinner came out. It was not prepared correctly and was bland. Olive Garden makes better Italian food than this place. We will never return or ever recommend this place again.

This is the best Italian restaurant in the state in my opinion. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce and was really delicious and to my likings. The bread was really good with the oil and garlic. Next, I got a regular salad with balsamic dressing which was really good. Then, white pizza with 4 different cheeses which was really good as an app. My wife ordered chicken parm that she really loved and also the salad. The food came quick and our server was really nice. Will be coming back here soon! Thank u for a great experience and the time you put into us. A great night to remember too. 75 dollars and a 15 dollar tip to our waitress.
