We three had an amazing dinner. Calamari for an appetizer was tender and flavorful. Our entrees that followed were the flounder franchese, potato crusted cod and from the daily specials, the Chilean sea bass. Each entree was incredibly delicious and so tasty. Our waitress, Ashley and the busboys who assisted her were wonderful. We were never without fresh water and any request was immediately honored. If we could provide a 10 star review we would. Excellent meal!

Overall excellent. Great service, amazing food. Our group had a variety of dishes including the Caesar salad, meatballs, octopus, scallop risotto, a lobster fra Diavolo special & a chicken dish. One thing was better than the next. Our only slight issue was that we were seated on the enclosed patio which is difficult to keep at a comfortable temperature on a cool and windy night. However, without us having to ask, we were moved into the main dining area for our entree and dessert - that was greatly appreciated as I'm not sure we would have lasted much longer out on the patio as the sun set & temps dropped. Next time we will be sure to ask for main dining room on our reservation if it's cold out. We will definitely be back!
One of our favorite IBI Restaurant's. Great value for the money and the food always fresh and flavorful. Highlight of dining experience was our server “Ashley” prompt, professional and pleasant. She was very attentive throughout the evening and a joy to speak to!
All staff were excellent, and Kristen was our server. She is knowledgeable about the dishes and has great suggestions. I had the Pollo Sorrentino, and my husband had the gnocci bolognese. Both were excellent and generous portions. We love that it's cozy and a byob. Thank you!

I had asked my daughter where she wanted to go for a birthday dinner and she chose Raimondo's. This was our first time dining at Raimondo's and it was nothing less than excellent. The staff, service, ambiance and food were all outstanding. We are local and will be back. Thank for a great dinner experience. Highly recommended.

For the last twenty-years, Raimondo's has consistently maintained its high standards for fine dining and continues to be one of the top three restaurants on Long Beach Island. Moreover, the fact that Raimondo's has chosen to remain open all year-around (with the exception of two weeks in early February) has been a Godsend to permanent residents of LBI as well as to those of us property owners who come down to LBI periodically and are seeking fine dining at the shore even in mid-winter. More recently, Raimondo's has broadened its menu to include some creative seafood offerings to complement their traditional dishes on their menu, such as their delicious Flounder Francaise, Veal Saltimbocca and Chilean Sea Bass with Rissotto and, of course, Raimondo's spectacular pork chop entree which continues to be the best I have tried anywhere. One of these days, I will try one of Chef's creative new entrees. However, for now, I am more than happy to simply enjoy great cooking in a friendly and engaging atmosphere, which never disappoints! If you haven't tried Raimondo's yet, you should definitely give it a try, and, I should add, get ready to be impressed.
Our recent dinner at Raimondo's with my daughter, her fiancée and my wife for my wife's birthday was excellent. Everything was delicious starting with the hot antipasto appetizer special. Our waiter Rich was attentve and very nice. We have dined there a number of times, mostly off season because of the crowds during the summer months. We will definitely be back again.

I made a point of telling our server to tell the chef that the Shrimp Oreganatto was the best dinner I've had out in a long while! Truly delicious! Will be back for it for sure:)
A little disappointed in a place we usually fine to be 5-Star. We (and a couple on a nearby table) waited an unusually long time for our entree and it was cold. While the "value" was never great, the bill was unusually high ($205 with tip) for two entrees, one appetizer and one dessert.

Very cramped in, felt like each table that was to the left and right were on top of you while eating. Got the veal chop special with fettuccine vodka and the veal tasted like char and the pasta was mushy and the vodka sauce was flavorless.

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration at Raimondo's. The food was outstanding and the service was first rate. Dana made our dinner a very enjoyable and welcoming experience.
