18 Best Italian Restaurants in Wildwood

“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.“

“The meal was incredible! Appetizers were arugula salad and eggplant rollatini . Dinner was the salmon and the chicken francaise was phenomenal! The server was kind, personal and attentive. Best meal we’ve had down here in a while!“

“We had a delicious dinner tonight. Everything we ordered from the drinks, to appetizers, to the meals were perfect. We all had leftovers and were sad we didn't leave room for dessert!“

“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 was my husband and I’s first time here and we can’t say enough about our experience! Welcomed warmly upon our arrival in to a homey friendly environment! The food was amazing!!!! Can’t recommend enough! The arancini, meatballs, Chicken Angelina and Chicken Parmigiana were old school Italian…reminders of my husband’s grandmothers cooking! Our waitress Tricia was lovely and accommodating! Celebrating our anniversary here was a pleasure and we look forward to our next visit! Go see Joey and his staff, you won’t regret it!“

“Grandma’s pizza is delicious“

“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.“

“Excellent Food, friendliest staff“

“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!“

“had lunch and dinner there today....was good and the waitress was very nice.“

“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.“
