“We had dinner at Chef Vola’s on 9/17/25 to celebrate my Birthday. What an excellent dinner and experience. The service is wonderful and our head waiter Anthony is a great guy who provides the best service. The food is beyond comparing it to another restaurant. My wife had the salmon with special sauces that she said was the best she ever had. The bone in veal parmigiana was the best I have ever had by far and there is no comparison. We had the blush pasta which also was outstanding. Our sincere gratitude to the Chef Vola staff for making my birthday extra special.“

“This was an excellent dining experience for the most part! The service was great and the food was great. We had just returned from Italy and were reminiscing with some friends about the food and how it compared to the freshness of the meals at Sunday gravy. But toward the end of the meal you could tell we were being rushed… and then the hostess confirmed that our bill was paid and then actually asked us to leave 😳. Because she had tables waiting. How embarrassing and disappointing. No where on the online reservation did it say we had a time limit.“

“It's been 20 years that I have had the best food at this restaurant the shrimp and spaghetti my wife had chicken parm with spinish so worth the price excellent five star al the way service excellent .“

“Lovely atmosphere, amazing food. Servers were very friendly and acknowledgable. Definitely a must try when in Atlantic City“

“This Place was the best place I ever went to in Atlantic City outside the casino areas. What a vibe. It makes you not want to get out of your seat. Reminds you of your Sunday family dinners with an explanation point. So much fun and attention to making sure you come back. New owners are from South Philly and are a blast to be around. The food, well is probably the best i ever had with my party of 6. Great place for food, entertainment and cocktails. You can stay and have a blast all night. They are expanding into a bigger area right next door!! Up and coming this is a must go to“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just ate at this adorable Italian bistro and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious — I ordered the cheesesteak with raw onions and a side of French fries, and everything was cooked perfectly. The cheesesteak was flavorful and fresh, and the fries were crispy and so good! The service was just as wonderful as the food. My waitress was so sweet, kind, and attentive. The service was fast, made me feel welcome too! The restaurant itself was super cute — beautifully decorated, very clean, and such a pretty atmosphere. You can tell they really care about the details. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!👍“

“Official pizza ranking:

1) 3 Brothers From Italy
2) 2 Lucky Brothers
3) Roma
4) Pisa
Check the other stores’ review page for specifics on their pizzas.

Very large, very good tasting. Perfect dough consistency, light a fluffy is how I prefer my crust. It is not crunchy so if that is how you prefer your crust then this isn’t it. But this one is my favorite on the board walk. It makes their competition advertised at the front look very doable.“

“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!!“

“We are a family from Buffalo, New York that came to visit Atlantic City and happen to stop by here. Very welcoming and nice people. Great food!!! Will not disappoint. When I come back definitely visiting them again.“

“Every course was delicious! They’ve shifted to an à la carte menu. They also provide bottomless mimosas, bloody Mary’s, and cocktails. Our server, Cynthia, was very attentive as was the rest of the staff. We were also fortunate enough to have a DJ outside during al fresco dining.“

“The place is under new ownership!!!!“

“Our food was wonderful Authentic Italian .The server was also great. Will def go back“

“Oh me, oh my! Where do I begin? I booked the Claridge for a convention that I was attending and truly did not expect the gem my family and I would find at The Twenties Italian Bistro. The hotel in general seemed relatively empty so we didn't have much expectations to be honest. When we arrived, it appears to be a very beautiful space that matches the hotel. There was only one table of 2 and we weren't quite sure if they were even open. However, a gentlemen named Jose appeared from the kitchen and greeted us warmly as he sat us. We reviewed the menu and were a little stressed to see the menu did not offer pizza which is what we promised our 4 year old daughter. Jose immediately replied that he would speak with the chef and see what could be done! Sure enough he came back and stated the chef could accommodate us as best as he could. We then ordered from the Taste AC prefixe menu to be able to share more dishes between my wife and I. WOW! Our appetizers were the heirloom tomato bruschetta and the Italian long hot roasted peppers. The bruschetta was fantastic and while I was a bit skeptical about the peppers, the flavors blended amazingly. Next was the mixed green salad which was flavorful yet light and the caprese salad which truly delivered. We were already extremely satisfied and now anticipating our entrees! We ordered an apricot glazed organic chicken filet that sat on fingerlings and was topped with Swiss chard...omg lol At first my wife was hesitant about the idea of an apricot glaze but once she tried it, it was hard to get the plate back. Then, the next entree truly stole the show. A creamy black risotto with 2 lamb chops. If I could have ordered a bucket of this risotto, I would have. It was truly INCREDIBLE! The lamb chops were perfectly cooked as well. Then finally dessert came out which was 3 flavors of gelato and 2 cannolis. First, let me say this, I am not even a sweets guy but this was fantastic. I loved the strawberry gelato as well as the chocolate which was so rich. I believe the other flavor was vanilla but I was already I love. And then the two cannoli's which must have been made on the spot which operationally I don't understand, but I also can't see how those are not absolutely fresh to order. Cocktail wise, I had a winter old fashioned that had hints of ginger and cinnamon and it was great as well but didn't come with a big cube unfortunately. As we were ready to settle up, Chef Craig Johnson came out to greet us as well and ask if our princess enjoyed her pizza! What a delightful man. He had a great energy and smile and his passion for his work really came across in his hospitality. This was truly the highlight of the trip and being from the industry, I don't say this lightly. Thank you again to Craig Johnson and Jose for an amazing experience at the Twenties Italian Bistro!“

“I've now been there three times for lunch. We split a burger and cheese steak on the first visit. Both were excellent. Owner Gus brought out a couple of slices of pizza for us to try. Both were so good, I decided to go for the Eggplant pizza on my second vist. I was there again yesterday with a party of three, a pizza, eggplant parm on a seeded roll, and an amazing chicken cutlet sandwich. Highly recommend for food, service, and friendly staff.“

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

“Great food & great service“

“Stopped in for a quick slice. Was greeted with a warm smile and fast service. To my delight, there were a few extra slices added in order to try. The kindness and generosity was very appreciated. Always delicious and amazing service at Carluccios!“
