50 Best Italian Restaurants near Strathmere

“My family and I had frequented La Fontana (Strathmere) for over 20 years. What drew us back for some time was the humbleness of fine Italian food mixed with genuinely kind and low keyed charismatic servers. There was unfortunately a shift in management. Our relationship with La Fontana changed. Our final dinner at La Fontana (Strathmere) ended with the general restaurant manager having an explosive fit directed toward two life long friends in their mid-80s.“

Thank you, Tino and team at Andrea Trattoria!“

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

“Great food & service! I got the bow tie pasta and it was incredible and my fiancé got the steak and said it was great. Staff was super friendly, however, there were these older drunk men at the bar (about 5 or 6 of them) and they were being so loud, cursing, and just carrying on and making a huge scene. I literally had to yell at my fiancé who was sitting RIGHT next to me. They ruined the whole vibe and experience. The staff did nothing to quiet them and they were just so freaking obnoxious!!“

“We just Love us some Panzini’s pizza, cheesesteaks, and chicken cheesesteaks! Honestly anything I’ve ever had there is excellent! The owner is one of the nicest guys! He is friendly and a real down to earth guy! We won’t go anywhere else in Sea Isle. Give them a try, you won’t regret it! 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Went Friday night of Labor Day weekend which was our first time. We did not have reservations but were able to get a table for 3 right away! It was somewhat early which was a good thing because the joint got packed after time! Mario but with a D was our server and did a great job!! The food…Amazing!! Not sure about the reviews that say small portions, I was plenty full when we left! If you’re looking for a ton of cheap food go to Golden Corral!! I had the chicken parm with rigatoni which was excellent! My daughter and wife loved their dinner as well! Great French fries!!! My only complaint was the wood chairs!! Slightly uncomfortable after some time and I was afraid that if I ripped one the picture on the wall may have fallen!! The chair being uncomfortable could be just me due to pulling a hammie in a dance off at Aston Barnaby’s back in the day!! Thanks for the memories!!“

“Ah, first time here tonight. Incredible service, literally insane food, booming with flavor. Our server Nora was the sweetest. If you’re in town you won’t have regrets! 12/10!“

“This place is such a VIBE....The food was phenomenal, we had the watermelon salad (oh my lord, the flavor in this was outstanding, so glad I tried it), the lobster gnocchi, and the lobster, shrimp and scallop Fra Diavolo - both excellent dishes! The complimentary bread and olive oil plate that came out before our meals was also exceptional, full of spices and flavor. We booked on Resy and were seated immediately upon arrival. The food came out quickly and the service was excellent as well. Our waitress was excellent and very attentive, and the manager and chef came to our table during our dinner to check in. The additional staff that refilled our water and cleared our plates were also very friendly. The atmosphere is upscale and the view of the marina is spectacular. Well done LaBarca we'll be back soon !!“

“Service was poor . Food was good was over priced they changed 3% for using a card“

“quick service, good pizza“

“Last night was our 1st time there, and I must say, it was OUTSTANDING. We had chicken Parm, 9th street chicken, Veal Milanese, and Linguini w/chicken. All dishes had excellent presentation, very hot and huge! Food was delicious. Atmosphere was a bit tight and loud especially if you want to have a conversation, but overall we really enjoyed it. We will be going back and recommending this restaurant. Going to try the Pizza as that looked great!“

“best subs and homemade Italian sides. second to none. If you’ve never tried it, you have no idea what you are missing. Customer friendly service ❤️“

“Their bread is great! The rest of the sandwich was just okay. They have some tasty baked goods too. They close pretty early despite serving a lot of dinner foods - I think they would be popular if they were open till around 8 during the summers.“

“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!!“

“Good place. Pizza slices are giant!! Location is great. People working were really nice. The pizza is just a good average slice of pizza. Not bad but not amazing. Perfect for filling up the tank after a long day on the beach or just cruising the board walk. We all enjoyed it a lot.“

“Bought 17 pizzas for our bingo and pizza at ocean sands in seaville. pizza was a huge hit. very tasty . will definitely eat there again.“

“Pretty good strombolis in food. No complaints them. Margarita pizza was a little overcooked but it was late so they made him cleaning up and forgot about it I'm guessing so we'll give it another shot but I've been there a couple times with no complaints“

“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!“

“Great food great people!!!“

“Primo's is always our first stop as soon as we get set up in Ocean City but they always forget my pickles and yes my wife always tells me to check the bag and I never do. Sandwiches are the best no doubt but I need my pickles 🥒 LOL..“

“I'm living in Concord New Hampshire area now and There's nothing that compares to Micchellis pizza or cheese steaks. I love your food and miss it! You guys do a great job!“

“I highly recommend Mama Mia’s. The atmosphere alone will win you over. Our meal was delicious! From the appetizer to dessert…their homemade tiramisu…to die for!!! The service TOP NOTCH!!!! They made you feel like family. Thank you for a wonderful night 💚🤍♥️“

“Nts why this place has a meh rating because it was delicious. We got 2 pies (Marinara & pepperoni)- both packed with flavor and crispy. Reminded me of our neighborhood pizza shop in NYC. Service was excellent, food came fast even though they were getting busy with orders- thank you Marco! This is for the parents- bathroom is clean and sizable enough for a stroller. No changing table but lots of room for stroller or standing diaper changes.“

“Only takeout service due to staffing shortage. But our order was brought out to us hot and we enjoyed their sidewalk seating to eat our lunch. Been here many times over the years. It has not disappointed us.“

“Excellent service, staff and FOOD! Smash burgers are great! Pizza… great! Thank you!!!“

“food was absolutely amazing, staff was kind, and attentive but not annoyingly over. Definitely will be back when we come back to avalon“

“Very good pizza! We had it today on vacation from Central PA & it had wonderful friendly staff, fast service, and the sauce was just a tad sweet which is perfect just the way I like it, crust was crispy the whole way through, well done, worth the stop! The French fries were very good too! very clean oil and crunchy!“

“Idk about these bad reviews but we had a wonderful experience. Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. A lot of food for the money. Yes it is expensive. Only quirk is we bought cocktails at bar and was charged &37.00 had the same cocktails at table and was charged $30. What was up with that. Dinner of four was $75 pp. also me I prices show cash or card difference in price. The restaurant is beautiful I def recommend to try“

“Zachary was very quick with our pizza, he delivered it and then proceeded to sprint off the beach like a gazelle, truly a majestic sight to see. His speed and efficiency was truly a marvel to witness and we will definitely order from here again“

“We love Fratellis! It is a must every time we are in Sea Isle!!!“
