20 Best Italian Restaurants near Ship Bottom

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 epic. That meal was to die for. Staff is perfectly trained and managed. Nothing but joy. Take my money please! The holiday decor was just lovely. I’m not easy to impress. There is some magic being done in that kitchen.“

“Love their food and friendly staff. One of our go to places on the Island!“

“Great food. Great friendly service. We go every week during the summer.“

“Still the best clam chowder and you cannot tell me otherwise. The bread bowl is toasted perfectly. Good bands and entertainment. Staff is always nice, decent selection of beers and alcohol. Good food overall. Our staples are the chowder, potato skins, and wings but have had their sandwhiches which have been good as well.“

“Please run, don't walk to Isola! Long Beach Island is no stranger to great spots for Italian cuisine, but Isola is not your typical Italian fare. A BYOB restaurant, Isola has a menu that easily compliments any wine! Our dinner consisted of a fresh and flavorful grilled octopus appetizer, a Cacio and Pepe even Rome would be proud of, one if the best zpirk chops we've evrry ate plated to perfrction, Hanger steak with a lovely chimichurri and a side of roasted potatoes with parmesan cheese. We ended the meal with Tiramisu to go and it was a perfect way to end the night. All that said, Isola's menu is equal to the amazing quality of service and the experience created by their staff. Every patron was smiling. We had originally ordered the Fiorentine steak and sadly it was not available. Dylan and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our dinner was not only fantastic but that we were so thrilled we quickly booked our next visit. Isola has officially entered my top 5 LBI list! Thank you, Isola for a wonderful date night!“

“I was there on Thursday the food was great! Only problem was I wasn't aware of the gratuity that was put on for six or more people. So we ended up spending much more money than we excepted“

“THIS is what pizza is supposed to taste like!!!“

“Went there last night for dinner. Had the pickled vegetable, the romaine salad and the clam pizza. This was more than enough for 2 people. Everything was good and it’s nice to have another year round option in Barnegat Light“
