43 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.“

“Cool little spot away from most of the coastal places. Great food and great service. The pizza is fresh out of the oven and amazing (white with ricotta best ever) for dine in - but if you get take out and have to travel 10 mins it cools off kind a fast and is still great, but not as fresh and crispy on the bottom as if you ate it there. Not a big deal , just saying.. 5 stars.“

“Andrea Trattoria catered our wedding in Sea Isle on 9/24/2022. The food was absolutely amazing! It was without a doubt the best buffet we've ever experienced. Tino worked with us to make sure we had a wide variety of apps, salads, and entrees. We requested Gulf shrimp and he was able to make that happen for us! Thank you, Tino and team at Andrea Trattoria!“

“Best Italian deli ever! Best Italian hoagie loaded with so much meat. Homemade tuna salad was so good. The hot Roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe was so tender and delicious! Can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“Parking: It's a storefront on the boardwalk so whatever parking they provide but you gone have to hit them boards one way or the other🤷🏽 It is worth it tho...AND I have issues with walking from MS so the average person will be fine. For the rest of us- come by car, cane, crutch or chair - however it be, just get there.“

“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!!“

“Quite possibly the best dough in town. A perfect base for their delicious pizza and fluffy knots. The staff is also wonderful!“

“Food was terrific, service was awesome, great atmosphere.“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Awesome experience overall!!!“

“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.“

“Service was spot on ? so inexpensive and delicious ? mozzarella sticks melting in mouth, so warm and stretchy! Pizza hit the right spot ? my whole family agreed this was the best pizza we had in sooo long ? Alex, our server made sure we were accommodated, and so welcoming and friendly ( he is super worthy of a raise )? so make sure to check this place out ? u will have so much fun ?

Kid-friendliness: So friendly ?“

“Everything about Primo's has been perfect for decades. The bread for their hoagies is delicious. The ingredients are fresh and full of flavor. The prices are competitive. I really wish they had a few tables to sit down at to relax and enjoy the hoagie, too.“

“Only have had pizza and salad there both times. It was two of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. I’m picky about my pizza. Eggplant was real eggplant slices roasted, delicious sauce, perfect thin crust. Excellent! Caesar salad was good too. Shared leftovers with friends next day and they loved it too. We had a late lunch post season and were the only ones there which was even nicer than the crowds last time. So we got to speak with the chef who was very friendly and helpful. Can’t remember what we had a few years ago but my friend and I enjoyed it very much, which is why I went again. Will definitely go again when I’m back in Sea Isle City.

Parking: We were there post season so there was plenty of parking there.“

“Great food great people!!!“

“Fabulous food! Aways Delicious!“

“The crab fries hit the spot, def a whole meal not just an app unless 3 people are splitting them. Devils fries were great, not too spicy. The sausage and roasted pepper pizza was enjoyed but the chicken fingers were just meh. The honey mustard was good tho“

“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“

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

“I’ve never personally been inside the store front so I can’t speak for atmosphere but today when I went to order my hoagie my card was charged but my order was never pushed through. I was already having a rough day so this on top of everything was the icing on the cake. I called the store a few times before I got ahold of someone but I’m sure they’re very busy. Whoever answered the phone was polite & insanely accommodating. I told her what had happened and they actually offered to make my hoagie for me without worrying about a second charge! I’m not gonna lie, some businesses have tried to double charge me in instances like this but I was really grateful with their quick & friendly service

Parking: In a shopping center with a huge parking lot“

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