“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.“

“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.“

“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“

The stuffed shrimp w a spinach base was excellent! The crab cakes were small but flavorful. Ended the night with an amaretto cocktail mixed perfectly, apple crostado and limoncello cheesecake. All that was paired with excellent service( shoutout to Jay) from start to finish.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just ate at this adorable Italian bistro and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious — I ordered the cheesesteak with raw onions and a side of French fries, and everything was cooked perfectly. The cheesesteak was flavorful and fresh, and the fries were crispy and so good! The service was just as wonderful as the food. My waitress was so sweet, kind, and attentive. The service was fast, made me feel welcome too! The restaurant itself was super cute — beautifully decorated, very clean, and such a pretty atmosphere. You can tell they really care about the details. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!👍“

Management you could tell had his stuff in order with his staff,and our server,SIERRA,or CIERA not sure of the spelling was in the top 3 of the best waiters or waitresses I've ever dealt with very attentive,VERY ATTRACTIVE actually gorgeous ND very friendly made my wife even feel comfortable!!Anyway if ur gonna go out to eat,go to........ LA CUCINA RISTORANTE. Northfield NJ,ask for Ellis the manger if you have any problems and he will help I saw him talking to every table to make sure everything was okay!!!!! Him and that server SIERRA/ciera looked like they worked great together“

“Thank you Chris and his staff for a great event at your restaurant. Food was delicious, great service and accommodations. Staff was very helpful and polite. Attendees were very pleased with everything. Thank you again.“

“All said and done I think this is the best deal on the boardwalk. Their price and food speaks for itself. You order up front and sit down and pick up your food when it comes out. They cut out the wait staff and it’s pretty efficient and also keeps the price down in the end. There’s been a lot of people saying this pizza was the best deal on the boardwalk for the summer of 2026. I finally gave it another chance after trying it many years ago. This place definitely is satisfactory. The only improvement I can suggest is when you serve Pepsi products, Birch beer has to be an option. It’s at just about every other Pepsi serving restaurant on the boardwalk. Birch beer by Pepsi is delicious and quite popular everywhere else and seeing they served Pepsi products and finding out they don’t serve birch beer like every other restaurant that serves Pepsi, was disappointing. But far from enough to keep me from giving less than a 5 star review. The place is pretty darn good in such times and they have definitely improved a lot since my first time there.“

“We had dinner there tonight with our grandson. The food was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been nicer!! A very pleasant experience, we will be back!!“

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

“We started our Anniversary with Brunch at Capriccio and what a great choice! From the complimentary Valet Parking to the warm welcome we received from the Hostess to Stephen's fantastic service. Everything tasted delicious and serving sizes were ample. The coffee was excellent too! We had the Belgian Waffle, Pork Sausage, an omelet & bacon. Well done Capriccio!

As a bonus...we sat at Frank Sinatra's table of choice.“

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

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

“Ordered the veal dinner for delivery. It arrived still hot like they took it from the oven and served it. It came with a side salad that was crisp and fresh. Not over loaded with red onion so I was able to remove them and not taste them at all. I also had a medium plain pizza. That was steaming hot, and very cheesey with a nice delicious crust. Not to thin Not to thick baked to perfection“

“Great food & great service“

“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“

“Stopped in for a quick slice. Was greeted with a warm smile and fast service. To my delight, there were a few extra slices added in order to try. The kindness and generosity was very appreciated. Always delicious and amazing service at Carluccios!“

“best food in town“
