★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Logan Cuff · Mar 2026

floppy, wet, undercooked pizza. I ordered the burrata pizza (vodka sauce, burrata, basil), and it was borderline inedible. I felt as though a massive quantity of vodka sauce was dumped over raw dough and served. The pomodoro and sausage pizzas were extremely floppy and wet as well. Do not consider ordering from this place.

Our server was extremely friendly and did such a thorough job explaining to us the specials of the day! The truffle chicken pasta was creamy, and was topped off with plenty of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. I would’ve liked it to be a touch more salted, but that was my personal preference. My sister had ordered the special veal of the day, and she agreed that hers could’ve been pre salted. But overall we had a great experience and would love to return once we’re in the area.

Unfortunately among the worst service we have received for the amount payed. The ambiance is fantastic, the hostesses are so sweet. The bread was delicious and my dinner was great. My husbands dinner (the Pinot pasta?) was incredibly mediocre. However our server only checked on us once. My water was empty. Didn't check on us after we got our meal and forgot our sodas. We will not be returning. I won't name the server in case she was having a bad day.

Not sure if this is a love letter but this may be my favorite restaurant of all time. It’s definitely my favorite place in Cape May. We’ve been coming here for years and make it a point to have at least one meal here each time. I’ve never ever had a bad meal here. The bread is baked fresh and served hot! Not warm but right out of the oven hot. I usually get the mussels as an app. They are spicy but tender and served with more bread to soak up the fabulous sauce. Last night we also had the fried Mozzarella balls. The mains were Baked Cavatappi and Italian Sausage, Garganelli & Pinot and the nightly special of linguine and clams. All three were amazing. The Garganelli & Pinot is hands down the best. I’ve gotten this the last 5-6 times I’ve eaten there and had a ha

This place was awesome. My service was great as well! Had to try the brick oven pizza and was not disappointed. Got to try an eggplant dish which was probably the best eggplant I’ve ever tasted. It was fried perfectly. The pork chop came with these pillow like gnocchi that ruled. Lastly we got dessert which was a cheesecake and a peanut butter ball… very rich and delicious
