Italian Restaurants near Margate City

“I had my mom’s 70th birthday at Bocca this weekend and I couldn’t be happier. It was so easy, and everyone was raving about the food! Such a family feel! Highly recommended!!“

“My friend and I stopped there on a whim. And was so delighted to find Johnny's cafe. The food was phenomenal. Yes, we were only there for lunch, but the prices were great friendliness. On a scale unbelievable we will be going back to have dinner soon. I would recommend this place anytime to anyone.“

“We chose Ventura's to host our small wedding party after we tied the knot on the beach in front of Lucy. Luann and the rest of the staff were excellent!! We are so happy we chose Ventura's and will be planning to celebrate more special events there in the future. Thank you for making our day so special!“

“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.“

“Haven't been to Barrels in years. Last time not so good. So we decided to give it another try So this time it's great! There redone and interior and it's beautiful. it's service was really good. My husband had the Veal Cutlet Parm which is probably one of the best but he's never had. The special meatball app with peppers and 3 different cheeses was also really delicious. I had a no carb eggplant Lasagne with spinach on top was a little like stew but It's delicious. It's a small place, but they were pretty packed. I think we'll put it back in rotation.“

“Came here this weekend. I think this really should be a 3.5, but I'm rounding up.Chef Vola's suffers from one thing: being way over hyped. We went with friends so I didn't deal with the reservation part: I can't speak to that. But it's hard to get in to which feeds into the hype of best Italian in AC. I don't agree.Atmosphere is dark and moody in a good way. Except the bathroom, which is legitimately in their kitchen. That was incredibly off-putting.My biggest issue here is the food and the price. I got Milanese, arguably one of the cheapest entrees on the menu. It was humongous, true, for nearly 35 dollars but nothing I'd rave about after leaving. I didn't eat almost half of it and wasn't mad about it. A side of broccoli rabe, while delicious, was $14. My husband got a good, but again not marvelous, crab cake and shrimp for almost $60. Everything is ala carte and the plates of pasta who came with our friends meals looked messy. Everything looked over sauced.Overall, our large table came out to nearly $1,000, which doesn't include alcohol (it's byo): that cost I think you NEED to be a meal I'd rave about again and again: and honestly I just won't.“

“I hate casino restaurants. Most have poor service and lousy food. There is an exception at the Hard Rock's Il Mulino. It's the only place to eat at the Hard Rock! Great food and service! I had the best octopus appetizer ! Fried Burrata appetizer Tuscany rigatoni Veal Saltimbocca Langoustine risotto Tiramisu Great Meal“

“Loved this authentic Italian. The portion sizes are huge. We split a pizza and pasta dish between the three of us and still has left overs. The two workers that night were like a comedy double act with non stop banter between them. One of the best pizzas I have ever had and as previously stated huge portion size.I started with the Italian wedding soup and it was phenomenal.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome they don't get any things to do, however they are welcome.“

“You have to try this restaurant! Absolutely best in area. Everything we had was outstanding . I have some food allergy issues that other places will it accommodate , Mike went out of his way to take care of me and the dinner was best we have had in a long time. You have to try this you will not be disappointed“

“By far the best pizza in OCNJ. The owner hand makes every single pizza and has been doing it since he worked there as a teenager. The result is a consistently amazing pie or slice. Huge NY style slices, thin, crisp crust with just the right amount of chew, delicious sauce (I usually ask for extra because it's so good), and fresh toppings. Awesome staff to top it all off. A must try in OC.“
