50 Best Italian Restaurants near Longport

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food!!!!! Great bartenders and did I say, the food? Sooooooo delish!“

“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“

“Our food was wonderful Authentic Italian .The server was also great. Will def go back“

“We love Luigi’s! Consistently amazing food for the whole family. Excellent service every time! We are a local family and this is our “go-to”!“

“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.“

“The food 🥘 was excellent including Ben and Jerry’s ice cream you ordered breakfast from 7:00am through 12:00pm Monday through Sunday.“

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

“Staff was unbelievably excellent and friendly. From the second you walk in you feel like a part of the family there. The food was absolutely exceptional and perfectly timed to have a nice leisurely dinner. Highly recommend to those in the area looking for an upscale restaurant experience“

“Sat outside we had your pizza. It was absolutely delicious, crunchy and crusty and mouthwatering so refreshing.“

“The place is under new ownership!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food & great service“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“quick service, good pizza“

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

“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!“

“Friendly staff who recognize you when you walk in the door. Delicious food. You gotta try it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food is served at Cousin's Restaurant in Ocean City, NJ.“

“Amazing pizza, amazing service and amazing prices!!!“
