Loved everything about it. Kenny is the one who got us in. He was very helpful. Although the name is unknown, that does not mean anything. The food was great. The red sauce was fantastic. The meatballs were great. They have an extensive wine list. The ambiance is great, good jazzy music like Sinatra, old black and white mafia movies on TVs on the wall and dimly lit, nice and relaxing. Also the view of the ocean is great too!Vegetarian options: There are.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes al on one floor there are elevators in ballys
Showed up and the guy who brought us bread of all things was so so rude! When I tried to ask him a question he cut me off and said “I don't get paid enough to know that I'm just the bread and water guy.” My question was super simple and I'm sure he could have answered or atleast said let me find out for you but he was so rude. We walked out without even eating ! What a disappointment

We have frequented Jerry Longos over the years. Disappointed that they shortened the menu and they took off fresh pasta and the priceless dark chocolate creme bulee. My wife has enjoyed it immensely over the years. Still a wonderful place to dine.

Everything was wonderful! We arrived a lot earlier than we expected for our reservation and we still got seated right away. The service was great! The food was amazing. We had the chicken parm and the salmon, lobster, shrimp special. We highly recommend both.
We have gone here on and off for about two and a half years now. The first time, it was amazing! Delicious food, amazing drinks, and great atmosphere. In my opinion, it hasn't been as great as it was the first time. This time was our least favorite, and ensured we won't return. It was dead inside with barely any patrons and the overall service has gone downhill. Our waiter was very pleasant, but not what has been expected based on prior experience. We went on a Sunday and chose the Breaking Bread menu which, for $45, sounds like a steal. We had three pasta dishes and the pasta was overcooked in all three. My husband ordered a Peroni, which was warm, therefore not enjoyable. Sadly, I was horribly sick from the food and it ruined a long awaited relaxing getaway. I would no longer recommend Jerry Longo's.
Ambiance was poor, as it was one big square room, so very noisy. When I made the reservation I was asked about any special requests and I asked for a nice table...we were seated at the closest table to the entrance and next to the bar, farthest away from the windows overlooking the boardwalk and ocean. When I made the reservation I was asked if it was a special occasion so I mentioned it was an anniversary...but the waiter did not acknowledge the occasion verbally or in any other way. And we had trouble understanding our waiter because of his accent...so when I asked him to repeat what the one (1) special was he got a little upset.

My husband and I went out for date night and we were really excited to try this place. We really loved the vibe and the feel, with the old movie photos and the TVs in the wall. Music was playing and it really gave you a lounge feel, which is what we were looking for. We ordered a martini, which they say they are known for and they didn't have the ingredients to make it. We then ordered a second one from the menu and faced the same. That was pretty disappointing, but our waiter was really great. We ordered the seafood and pasta special which was $50 dollars and we got 2 shrimp and 2 scallops! Seemed a little skimpy to say the least, but it was tasty. Honestly, anywhere you go is going to give you more seafood than that for that price. Glad we tried it, but not sure we will go back.
The place usually provides better food and service. Everything was rushed, like they wanted us to eat quickly and get out. Not the best ambience for a romantic dinner on Valentine's.

We always love coming to Jerry Longo's. Everyone is warm and friendly. We always request Antonio for our server. He is perfect and takes good care of us. Can't wait for our next visit.
Was there on Sunday night, first thing I noticed when we sat at our table there was hardened dry pasta gravy all over the salt shaker, no big deal they gave us another. This is the first time I where I went to an Italian restaurant and there was no bread given to the table, a big no no for me being Italian. The appetizer was four small cheese bread slices with marinara, the sauce was good not so much for the bread sticks. The Longo salad was good and the Caesar salad was real good. My wife had the vodka rigatoni which was good (should have come with at least a small meatball). I ordered the linguiniI alle vongole and it was completely tasteless it was like eating pasta with salt and pepper not even a hint of seafood flavor, I asked my wife to taste it to make sure I wasn't crazy and she didn't taste seafood at all. I thought about sending it back but decided not to. I make this at home and use olive oil, garlic, wine, lemon and oregano, I don't think they use any of those. The tiramisu was very good the cannolis were small and just ok. I Don't know if we would go back.

The food was great & service was great, I had the chicken parmigiana which was thin & crispy which was perfect & the sauce was amazing. The hubby had the pork cutlet special which he thought was amazing as well except for small side portion of risotto & our friend thought the clams was plentiful & sauce was delicious as well.

Very good food food came out HOT and not rushed like other restraunts appeterizer was also HOT and had plenty of time to enjoy it My wife is disabled but that was no problem in the seating
We go to Jerry Longos every time we stay at Ballys. The food is delicious, especially like the linguini with clams. The meatball salad is my favorite, I can eat that as a meal. The drinks are great the Cosmo is delicious. Service was great, very attentive.
