This place was amazing! Food was not only delicious but affordable and with big portions. Family restaurant with patrons coming here for 60 years. The house wine was perfect with our meal. This was by far the best part of our trip to AC!

Enjoyed a big portion of stuffed rigatoni with meat sauce and some great colleagues at a work event on 6/7/25. Our server was solid and as good as they come. Inside was a bit dated and surprisingly us as a group of 8 walked right in on a Friday night and got a table within minutes so they were not busy at all.

wow wow wow! i cannot wait to come back here. the food was outstanding. if you order anything, make sure you choose something in the lobster sauce. the fish special normally is served in that or the lobster ravioli is a home run.

A great old school Italian spot for dinner. We had the chicken Anthony and the eggplant parm. We also had the artichoke and spinach app and the key lime pie for dessert. Everything was delicious and the place feels so nostalgic. Especially for an Italian American from northern NJ. Loved it and when I'm down South Jersey again will definitely come here.

One of my favorite restaurants in NJ . Atlantic City's famous Italian restaurant, it started business in 1935, - a 90-years old historic great restaurant history. Comparing to other restaurants in Atlantic City, the prices are reasonable. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. Our waitress is very attentive even found out a slice of tomato was accidentally dropped in to my boyfriend’s soda before we released while serving salad and replaced it . Great Service. Thumbs up. The restaurant is filled with valuable historical photos, especially boxing photos ( at our dining area ) and more historical photos. It’s a great place for family gatherings. Reservations are recommended for groups of more than 10 people. I recommended to arrive early or late to avoid peak meal times long waiting on weekends and holidays as reservations are not accepted for groups of less than 10 people . My only suggestion is the salad that comes with the meal; the dressing tend to be too much . If you prefer light meal like me, remember to tell your server salad dressing separately.

I love their marinara sauce (chunky and tasty and lots of good natural tomato flavors and onion). The food is good and plenty. The sampler appetizer was fun with spicy ravioli, mozzarella sticks, and shrimp. The calamari was lightly enough battered and again good sauce. The meatball was a bit overdone and had a smoky taste to it but it was big and plenty. The pasta with clams had a lot of clams just not a lot of sauce. I would have loved the red marinara sauce on my pasta with clams. The cheese on the chicken parmigiana was really good and the chicken was well done. Overall I love the sports memorabilia and decorations and the home feel of the place. Free parking lots (2 lots) so no worries about driving. Free side salad that comes with lemon vinaigrette dressing so if you don’t like dressing the way they add it, ask for it on the side. I didn’t know so I had to drain the large amount of dressing in water. Most main dishes are starting at $20 to $30. Light and fluffy Italian bread as a free appetizer and that was good. Plenty of leftovers to take home.
