30 Best Italian Restaurants near Ocean View

“A quaint little dining room but full of warm and inviting ambiance. The portions were just right for a filling and enough to bring home a portion for a second serving. The hostess , wait staff and server were attentive and engaging with conversation. We heard good things and decided that a 25 minute journey could be worth the trip. More than met our expectations. We were fortunate to have Ellen wait our table. (Or was it Kathy, lol)We certainly will return soon. Give it a try you will most likely experience the same results as we had. !!“

“Very disappointed. Roll ends were burnt and broccoli rab had too many hard stems.“

“Got the Sicilian pizza, was amazing. My favorite part was the dough/crust. Perfectly cooked. We asked that the onion be diced and they did exactly that! We also got the the handmade mozz sticks, no disappointment here. Lightly breaded and delicious!“

“My husband and I came on Mother's Day. What a treat. Food was exceptional,my husband had a tuna salad and gave it A+beautiful presentation. I had chicken fingers that were delicious! Betsy was our waitress,we give her a A+++. Very personable and extremely friendly. Nothing was too much for her.“

“Simply amazing! Perfect food, service and view. The best restaurant at the Jersey shore.“

“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!“

“I always make it a point to stop by when I'm in Sea Isle. The slices are excellent made with top notch ingredients, and they don't skimp on toppings either. I usually go for their buffalo chicken, and riccotta slices, and I haven't found another place that even comes close. I've been coming here for years, and plan to for years to come.“

“Excellent service & food!“

“Great food, great service, authentic Italian food Highly Recommend“

“Fantastic restaurant! 4 friends and I were in OCNJ for a girls weekend. After looking at Yelp, we decided to try Joe's. Best choice that we made over the weekend. This restaurant is family owned and operated. Our waitress, Georgia, is Joe's daughter. She was so warm and hospitable. The entire staff is family! Now for the food! Chicken Parm was outstanding. I consider myself a chicken parm snob!. This was the best that I have ever eaten!! Chicken was flavorable and so tender. For pasta, I chose capellini, it was delicious. I also chose the homemade chicken pastina soup. It was excellent. They also put a basket of warm bread on the table, so good Friends were equally impressed. They chose veal parmigiana , spaghetti, turkey melt on ciabatta and chicken sorrento. All loved their meals. We were so full that we couldn't even think about dessert“

“We wanted to dine here for the last couple years, but during the on season, it's almost impossible to get a reservation. We thought we would try while we were down here this weekend to eat here and it was over and above everything we expected. The food was amazing from appetizers to the crème brûlée. My partner had one of the specials that was absolutely amazing and I ordered off the menu and it was also amazing. We decided we are definitely going back and making reservations two weeks in advance if we have to during the summer. A bonus was unbelievably polite and, over-the-top servicing staff during our entire meal.“

“This was the first time I was at this location, and this will now be my go to spot for sandwiches, this location was super clean and organized, the gentleman working there were very polite and welcoming, our sandwiches were fresh and delicious and didn't take long at all.“

“Yum!! Food was wonderful!! Fresh and tasty. French bread was crusty and soft.“

“Excellent food & service!!!!“

“Great place with delicious cuisine and friendly staff!“

“This place is consistently so good. The portions are huge BUT they are also extremely delicious. It is all very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. I highly recommend Nino’s to anyone in the area. My favorite are the Taste of Italy and the house salad.“

“Solid pizza joint! They have a 2 for $25 large pizza deal. Available every day. The pizza, is really cheesy! And that's a good thing! Delivery is fast. Owner & staff, are very friendly. Prices, on the menu items is fair. I've had the cheesesteaks/burgers/pizza/calzone/hoagies... all good! My go-to pizza on a whim spot! Use the Slice App, you get 5% off when ordering.“

“BEST pizza ever, Seriously, THE BEST!!“

“The food was delicious. We started with a special salad and stuffed long hots. The salad was very tasty. The long hots were very good. My only complaint was that there was not much stuffing. I am used to having the entire pepper stuffed, but the stuffing only filled the top quarter of the pepper. For our entrées, we had chicken parm and the special pasta dish. The meals were delicious, but the special pasta was a bit over priced. There were three shrimp, two scallops and a small amount of crab meat. It was almost twice the price of chicken parm. Again it was delicious. They seemed a bit understaffed, one server and one assistant for an entire section.“

“Friendly service and awesome food!!“

“The Vodka Chicken Cutlet and the Respect Your Father sandwiches were both amazing! So glad we decided to check this place out after discovering it on Instagram about a week prior to opening. We will absolutely be back again! (Southampton)“

“We had the pleasure of eating at Basilicos this past weekend for the first time. The service, menu and specials were fantastic. Portions were generous and desserts added the perfect final touch. Love that it’s a BYO!“

“Seriously the nicest people ever! A huge THANK YOU to the two women at the counter today. My toddler got hit in the head walking behind a swing at the playground across the street. The ladies were very quick to get us ice when we came in, a calm place to sit down, and even offered us various items on the house. We’re gonna have to come back for pizza soon. Thank you again for taking such good care of us!!! We both appreciate it!“

“We (6 of us) had an excellent meal here. The food was fresh and delicious; included osso buco, rigatoni arrosto (lobster), gnocchi, calamari, we loved it all. Nice atmosphere, more intimate than its sister restaurant Polpo. Service was great. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered takeout; the food was amazing! The menu is diverse and the portions are large. We enjoyed the mushroom risotto, rigatoni bolognese, and the halibut special. The staff was helpful and friendly. Thank you so much!“

“The food overall was very good. We had the eggplant appetizer which was excellent. The marinara was fantastic. My fiancé had the pappardelle which she enjoyed very much. I had the Lasagna which was a generous portion and the flavor was great but, it wasn't heated all the way through and cold in the center. The service was excellent considering only one waiter was working about 10!or so tables and also taking care of the hosting and bussing duties. He handled it very well but, because I felt bad he was working so hard I didn't want to bother him with sending the lasagna back to be heated. I would definitely recommend it and intend to try it again.“

“Great food great people!!!“

“Our large group ordered hoagies to be delivered to us at the beach this weekend. The hoagies were delicious, service was friendly and prompt, and the convenience of delivery was greatly appreciated. We will definitely order from this location again! Thank you to Primos“

“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!“

“Fabulous food! Aways Delicious!“
