50 Best Italian Restaurants near Linwood

“Food was fantasti, staff was very friendly, would highly recommend.“

“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.“

“You have to try this restaurant! Absolutely best in area. Everything we had was outstanding . I have some food allergy issues that other places will it accommodate , Mike went out of his way to take care of me and the dinner was best we have had in a long time. You have to try this you will not be disappointed“

“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.“

“Moments at Scannicchios is the best spot in AC for a delicious meal, amazing drinks, and entertainment! My husband hosted my 40th birthday there and the service was exceptional!!! Scott, Tommy and the crew really know how to make their customers feel like family and have a good time! I can’t wait to watch games, eat, drink and party next week when the new side opens! 100 💯 recommend everyone try it out!!!“

“My family had an amazing experience and dinner on Mothers Day! Our appetizers came out perfect timing. The calamari& bruschetta are our favs. Dinner was exceptional and very good“

“Excellent restaurant in the Tropicana Hotel Atlantic. We went from the happy hour, where William the bartender provided us with some insight on a few good wines available at the Verdi, over to dinner. I ordered the wine with a fabulous porkchop offered on the special 3 course. The price was very reasonable, especially at a high end restaurant. Service was on point without being all over you. I recommend.“

“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“

“best food in town“

“Great place to eat the best Italian food in Sommer point, I love it!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“We did a catering order 3 hours ahead a time. The store was very busy inside and on line orders were crazy. We arrive to pick and it wasup not ready. We waited for 45 minutes. The chicken parm was dry. The past was not as hot as it should have been. Just not happy with that order and the wait.“

“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.“

“Such a unique dining experience! The drinks were well made, the food was excellent and the service was so friendly and helpful. The Pool Boy drink is unreal, and over both my two times there, the food has been so fresh and well prepared. There staff takes great care of you, gives a deep dive into the menu, which they’re very versed in and always happy to give a tour of the different rooms, which I’d definitely ask to see going for the first time. Each room is designed so uniquely different with ambience. Truly one of a kind for me!“

“Our office is very close to Johnny's and we go quiet often. The owner Johnny is always there and sometimes you will see him walking around the dining rooms checking on things. His wife is also present usually and ensures everyone is having a great time. The food here is amazing and the best Italian on the island. I recommend the Calamari or any of their Veal specials. They also make an amazing Chicken Parm. We love the atmosphere, it is classy but relaxed. Also, they have a DJ there that is out of this world (I believe his name is also Johnny) and our office loves to come when he is there! Fun for all. I would not bring kids here, that is not the vibe at all. They are also open for breakfast, and I think that is one of the best on the island as well. I recommend Johnny's to many of the people interact with on the daily, it will always be my go to spot.“

“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 !!“

“quick service, good pizza“

“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!“

“My family and I had frequented La Fontana (Strathmere) for over 20 years. What drew us back for some time was the humbleness of fine Italian food mixed with genuinely kind and low keyed charismatic servers. There was unfortunately a shift in management. Our relationship with La Fontana changed. Our final dinner at La Fontana (Strathmere) ended with the general restaurant manager having an explosive fit directed toward two life long friends in their mid-80s.“

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

“Highly recommend. The food was amazing the portions were huge, the staff was really friendly! A must try if you’re looking for something unique!“

“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!“

“10/10 Would immediately go back. There was 15 of us (7 adults, 8 kids) who stopped by after a day of volunteering. By lunch time we were starved and ready to devour anything. Not only was the staff extremely welcoming, ordering at the counter was a breeze. Food was brought out to our tables and we were asked so many times if we ever needed anything or how things were. The food was utterly delicious! The staff was absolutely amazing and so patient with the kids. I will definitely be coming back soon! Thanks Roman's Pizza!“

“Their bread is great! The rest of the sandwich was just okay. They have some tasty baked goods too. They close pretty early despite serving a lot of dinner foods - I think they would be popular if they were open till around 8 during the summers.“

“We visited Barrels two nights in a row and left absolutely satisfied. Night 1 we split the entree Cesar salad (photo attached - HUGE) and the plain pizza. Both scratched the itch we had for a hearty meal. Tonight, we again split the entree Cesar Salad, but ordered our own entrees - he had the linguini and chicken and I had the chicken cutlet strips. We left stuffed and with plenty of leftovers. Our servers both nights could not have been sweeter and made sure we were taken care of. Barrels is also running a 10% off dine-in promotion for the winter season - we will be back soon!“

“I ate here for the first time this summer when the first place I tried to go to had a line. I don't care how good the pizza is, I refuse to wait until a dozen or so people are done taking their time eating before I get seated. So I decided to come here and got the last available table without a wait.
Because one of my kids only eats plain, we had to get a plain pizza. It was gigantic. Biggest pizza I've seen before. The paper plates we were given were not quite enough to hold a slice, so we cut the ends off and finished them with the rest. It tasted good despite no toppings, and you can watch them make the pizza if you want.
The way you get your food is different, though. At the other pizza place we went to before, a waitress comes around like at a restaurant. Here, you have to order what you want where you walk in, and then sit down. They bring the pizza to your table, but be sure there's room. Not a big deal, but if you're not used to it, like we weren't, you could spend some time waiting for someone to take your order, and that person won't come. You have to get your own drinks to take with you, so be sure you have your entire order ready to go and pay for after you grab a table.
Between three of us, we couldn't finish the pie we got, so had to take the rest home, and it was fine the next day with a little oven reheating. Just be ready to have almost no room at your table once you get the pizza, as it's huge.“

“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.“
