“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.“

“Fantastic.. A++ Called in an order 45 min before they closed on a Sunday night. My stupid fault but no biggie. They had it ready in 20min. Owner was cool & super friendly as I heard. Manager was fun & she obviously cared. Food was absolutely Stellar. Ridiculously Good actually! I stacked the order with different types of Cutlet Sandwiches, a Cheesesteak, Fries, etc. Whatever, $120 Worth every penny. Another Wildwood Hit…:) Thanks Guys! Can’t wait to share this place with Friends & Family in Summer 2026.“

“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!“

“I ordered a veggie burger & sweet potato fries, pretty much my go-to at a pizza place. It was tasty but better than anywhere else because of the experience. I saw you give away food to someone in need, I saw you show compassion & kindness. I will support this business in the future! “On the way to Cape May” ❤️“

“New air conditioning makes this laundry mat much eiser to handle in the summer. Just got 2 new over sized washers to do extra large quilts or your animals bedding. Cheaper then any other laundry mats in area and staff is even friendlier then other laundry mats. I hate going to laundry mat but staff makes it more pleasant.“
