“Well, this summer we decided to take a trip to Wildwood. We did some research regarding places to stay and of course restaurants. Well, we found a very nice motel. Well anyway, one morning we went out to one of the recommended restaurants, and happened to notice this restaurant across the street called pasta pesto. We noticed there was some signage outside regarding Tuesday night martinis special Thursday night prime rib special so we decided to venture there on Tuesday night. Well first of all the surroundings were very inviting along with a very relaxing atmosphere. So we had the martinis specials, which were very cheap and actually very very good. The service was awesome and we met the one lady there named Peg who is very very nice. Well, then, we decided to go back Thursday night for prime rib night. He had the prime rib, which was more then he even expected and I had the ravioli with meatballs. Both dishes were very, very good again. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was very relaxing plus it was very busy that Thursday night, which I’m not surprised. So I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Wildwood area. We definitely would go there again for dinner. Unfortunately, I only took a few pictures, and hopefully it captured the relaxing atmosphere of this establishment.“

“This restaurant is amazin! We ate breakfast there once and dinner twice on our vacation. Very good food and wait staff. Nice Friendly people to be around“

“I chose this restaurant for my husband’s birthday dinner. We had an amazing meal in a pretty setting. Aside from being extremely impressed with all of the flavors, from appetizer to dessert, our server, Ari (not sure I’m spelling it correctly) was just the sweetest, knowledgeable and kind young woman. She was very attentive but not annoyingly. There were other servers walking around making sure tables were cleared of finished apps, salads and such. They work as a team and made the experience so enjoyable. Everything flowed so smoothly. We enjoyed delicious cocktails and the food was so on point. We’re giving Santorini ALL the stars! We will most definitely be back, again and again!“

“We had an amazing experience on our wedding day last weekend at Duffinetti’s. The owner was extremely accommodating and dedicated to making our day extra special. She allowed us to drop our wedding cake off prior to opening for storing, served an amazing meal for our large party, served our wedding cake and even arranged the performer to play our wedding song for our first dance. We couldn’t thank her and the staff enough for making our day amazing.“

“Generally speaking, I always enjoy going to dinner there one of the nights I'm in Wildwood. Love their pastry shop too! Only complaint is they charged me for the ice in my Bailey's. No one else at our table was charged for ice, just me. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again.“

“Just ordered lunch today for 4 of us. They were excellent Would recommend to everyone looking for a great hoagie“

“5 Stars - Unbelievable Food! I was on the hunt for a great cheesesteak and stumbled upon this spot—wow, am I glad I did! Their food is even better than Gino’s, which is saying a lot. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can tell they use top-quality ingredients. If you’re looking for the best cheesesteak around, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered 7 pizzas on line Friday night. We ordered a variety of different types of pizza. Our family of 11 people found all of them to be delicious and they were ready in 30 minutes for pick up. I don’t know about this place as a restaurant because they really only have some very basic looking small tables. I consider this to be more of a pizza place.“
