50 Best Italian Restaurants near Margate City

“Bocca is really one of the best shore restaurants in NJ. Sure, it looks like a typical pub/tavern, but the quality of the food, at family friendly prices cannot be beat. Highly recommended.“

“the restaurant is very beautiful and so are the views of the bay. I loved my food and so did my family. we ordered pasta and pizza which is hard to mess up but it was very delicious. everything seemed fresh. my waitress, angel, was very kind and attentive to us and made a point to converse with us. can definitely be more on the expensive side but it's worth every penny.“

“Highly recommend the gnocchi, pizza, and figtini! We ate dinner here with 5 people. Service was slower but I expect that at a good restaurant where everything is made to order. It is worth the wait! We loved it so much we came back 2 nights later and sat at the bar for pizza and drinks.“

“Barrels needs more reviews!! We love ordering from Barrels! We have never dined in, we always order out and usually on a Sunday. For this order, we got the wrong meal and boy was I bummed out!! We were clear with our direction and even repeated the order but somehow the order was incorrect. Aside from this snafu, I would 100% recommend eating the food from Barrels. The portions are large, the quality & flavor delicious and consistent.“

“We came for mother’s day this year and had a phenomenal time. The drinks were good and they had great options for draft beers. I absolutely loved our server - I didn’t get her name though. The food came out quickly even though it was packed inside. We’ll be back to check out the upstairs!

Parking: They have a small lot on premises but it’ll be full if it’s busy so you gotta hunt for parking on the street“

“I don’t know how this place doesn’t have a 5 star rating - it is amazing! I went there to dinner with my sister last night (on a Monday) and maybe it’s because the service was so bad at our dinner at a different restaurant the night before, but I think the service at Jonny’s Cafe and Lounge was so great and accommodating. Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name) was so chill and awesome I think if there had been a hurricane going on and the power had gone out, he would have been like, “I got you.” The food was amazing, and between appetizers and large portion sizes I had a great second meal today. I can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back the next time I am down the shore.

“Lamberti’s has the best food in Margate! The staff are the friendliest and are top notch when it comes to service! They have the most beautiful view of the sunset! It’s a fun place to hang out and have some food and drinks with friends! I am a frequent customer and I look forward to going there all summer long! It’s my favorite place to go!“

“The veal Milanese here is a must have. The best anywhere. The bolognese is huge with a ridiculously great sauce. Had a plate of roasted peppers with anchovies the was simply beautiful. Wonderful staff who accommodated our twins in car seats. The place is snug but comfortable. This a wonderful place on earth. Thanks for a lovely evening. It's BYOB. You know what to do.“

“The food was delicious! Outstanding service as well! Large portions and the desert was exceptional! Would definitely go back!“

“The Branzino, melt in your mouth explosion of well balanced culinary experience. The wait teams are very well coordinated and genuine which enhances the ambiance. You will miss something special should you not experience this at least once.“

“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“

“I have lived in the area my whole life and passed by this place many times. It wasn’t until a coworker recommended Juliano’s to me for their amazing wings that my husband and I actually tried it for ourselves. My coworker did not let me down because their buffalo tenders were incredible! The were so tender and the buffalo sauce was perfect. Not too spicy with a very slight sweetness. I would argue they might be the best buffalo tenders in the area!! We also got the grilled mahi tacos and Juliano’s salad. The tacos were a pleasant surprise! The mahi tasted fresh and they put so much of it in the tacos. We didn’t even touch the salad because the tacos and tenders were so filling! Took the salad home and had it the next day and that was good as well. We went on a Sunday night and sat at the bar. We watched the football game surrounded by locals and it was the exact vibe we wanted. No frills dive bar to watch the game with some good food and beer. We enjoyed our experience so much we got take out a week later. The tenders again, did not disappoint. We will be back, and I have a feeling it will be frequently!“

“Food was amazing! We had the chicken veggie soup , black bean soup, guacamole, spinach salad with sautéed peppers an onions& provolone, buffalo chicken wrap... all amazing“

“The pizza is out of this world. Soups and meatballs are fantastic! 5 star rating all the way!“

“National Pizza Night! Andrea pizza was awesome as was the Tricolre Salad as a starter. Last visit @ Pulia the Frito Misto and Carbonara were delicious. Hidden gem in Ventnor, NJ.“

“I was there for a few on Friday afternoon…. This place is legit! The whole place is old school, rat park charm meets Moroccan mystery….. The staff was welcoming and let me explore unabated even though they just opened…. Best of luck!“

“where to start, what an amazing little gem tucked away in Atlantic city. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is perfect. You will be hard pressed to find a restaurant anywhere with better service. Top Notch“

“We had a fun family dinner to celebrate a birthday .Our server Kathryn was amazing she was so attentive and told us the best way to order. We also had a vegetarian with us who had no issues ordering a dinner. Cocktails were made by Nora at the bar and she made the most delicious lemon drop martini. I highly recommend Carmines for a dinner and a celebration. Thank you for a special night!“

“Dined in for breakfast, had the Cajun shrimp omelette which came with home fries and ordered a grapefruit mimosa. Breakfast was delicious, so was the mimosa. Service was great and it was pretty quiet, only one other table of diners that morning.“

“We ran into a hidden jewel tonite hiding in a strip mall in Linwood. It’s called “Sunday Gravy”& believe me it didn’t fail to impress. The food was like Nonas in Deep South Philly & just as plentiful.We went with my Sister Linda & Brother in-law. The staff were pleasant & friendly & it’s a BYOB which I prefer because I can pare my wine. Google the menu & if your in the proximity do your palate a justice & go. It’s reservations only & they seat promptly at your designated time. If you go sit with “Gagen” he’s knowledgeable, funny & extremely polite. Oh & best part is their prices are on the low side for a Good Italian Venue. Kudos to the Chef & the owners ,Please dont change a thing. J.R. & Family.“

“Outstanding food and wonderful staff, waiter Jacob gave terrific and friendly service! Thank you so much“

“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“

“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“

“Spent a week in the area. This is the only place that had decent food at a fair price. Keep up the great work!“

“Best subs in Galloway, no contest. Prices for subs are very reasonable. My favorite is the honey turkey with provolone (Bonus: it's usually sharp provolone.) My husband and I love that their lettuce, tomato, and onion is sliced super thin. Their lunchmeat is always yummy, and cut just the way we like it. I have never had anything from their deli that I didn't like.“

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

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

“I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, II Verdi was excellent. Service was excellent, view was great and the food was amazing! The steamed clams were soooo good, the broth was amazing, I could have eaten a loaf of bread with it, the mozzarella was fresh, prosciutto di parma & roasted peppers, large crabcakes, the Chicken Parmigiano was huge with a side of rigatoni, the sauce was delicious & the stuffed shrimp was outstanding & it came with a side. There was so much food no room for dessert and we had a to go bag. I definitely will be going back & highly recommend.“

“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”!“

“Great food & great service“

“I went from hungry to hangry. We order from there a couple times a week. Good size orders. Just called to place an order and because the sub we wanted wasn't on the menu, they refused. They have the ingredients and have done it before . So, that's it. No more orders. It was a new employee. It's a shame. They royally messed up our last order, but I was willing to overlook it and refused free peanut butter pie, as an apology. A couple other places in the area make these very basic sandwiches, so we'll be going there for everything else as well.“

“I can not say enough about my experience here. The excellent service, delicious cocktails, and entertainment would be enough... but then the food came out and was delicious! We ordered the Parm dinner, antipasto salad and meatballs as an app. Everything was delicious. You must come here! Would be perfect for a date night, girls night or special celebration.“

“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.“

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

“Let me start by saying this place deserves to be upstairs in a fancier more central location. The chef and host were very attentive. This little gem is hidden downstairs in the food court and they should not be. The selection of charcuterie is outstanding and was served for the eye and the stomach. Beautifully done and a lot of food for the money All the food was fresh and extremely flavorful. The wine selections are fun and diverse. They went above and beyond with service and presentation. They just need to be up among the traffic areas in a more romantic atmosphere for a true dining experience“

“Experience was wonderful! We went to celebrate our anniversary and they surprised us with a piece of cake and sang to us. Exceptional service from the moment we walked in the door. Food was great! Loved our experience. Pricey, but the food and service is worth it.“

“Food was very good and a nice size portion. Sunday night and ate outside. I don't know if the waitress was new but waited an hour for dinner. Had salad first but was there about two hours total.

Parking: Parking on street is not easy to find.“

“They have the best pizza and the best pizza makers !!! Making pizza with love!!“

“Well we just went there a couple of days ago for daughter's birthday. We all enjoyed their food, drinks, and their desserts are just wonderful! We all commented on how great the service was, especially how accommodating the whole restaurant was🎂🍰🍷🍻🍹

Parking: We can't wait to get back there again.

Kid-friendliness: Every server seemed to be very helpful, kind, respectful, and friendly. Very much on top of their game!

Wheelchair accessibility: There's plenty of room inside the restaurant for anyone who has a walker or a wheelchair. You won't be bothering anyone if you have a🧑‍🦯🧑‍🦼👩‍🦽“
