We have not been to a Buca Di Beppo before and were pleasantly surprised. We had what we consider a standard two egg breakfast. It was very good. The potatoes come with onions and peppers which I don't eat. I mentioned this to waitress and she immediately swapped the potatoes out. Service was fast and friendly. For a good breakfast we recommend this restaurant. Thanks for your positive remarks! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed yourself. Thanks so much for the great review of Buca Di Beppo and for mentioning how much you enjoyed your experience! We are pleased you found everything to your liking and hope to welcome you back soon!Vito, Customer Relations

Chef Jack presents a wonderful menu and Loretta is a fabulous server. Everything was hot and delicious. I has filet mignon, soup and limoncello cheesecake. My husband had salad il verdi, shrimp scampi and two cannolis were presented for dessert. Modern design was off putting to me for Italian but did not take away from the amazing food and great service.Hello, we really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience at il Verdi and that Chef Jack did such a great job. We will pass along your kind words and look forward to seeing you again soon!

The food was pretty good. I appreciate the vegan options â¤ï¸. I just feel the place needs to be updated - it kind of looks old and dirty. Bathroom was like a gas station and the vents over the tables leaked water from the AC. The place needs updating and a good scrubbing.

We had a good, not great meal and Angeloni's II recently. The dining room is like stepping back into the 1960s. The restaurant is in the historically Italian neighborhood on Arctic Avenue. The staff is friendly, the menu large, prices reasonable and an extensive wine list. I had escargot as an appetizer and it was a bit disappointing with little flavor. Most of the party had their signature dish, veal parmigiana, and were all well pleased. I order my favorite, veal saltimbocca, and was disappointed as it did not measure up to the dish as prepared at several fine Saint Louis Italian restaurants. I felt the sauce was a a bit heavy and overpowered the flavor of the veal.

Went to Nero's Sunday Brunch and it was fantastic. Service was great....drinks filled promptly ( Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, and Champagne), took great pictures for us and very upbeat. I love oysters....they even had oysters with caviar. Lamb Chops, Prime Rib, Seafood Fra Diavolo, Omelets, Pastas, Large Shrimp, Sushi, on and on......All were great. Deserts were just fantastic. Pricey worth every penny! We will be back!

This place was the highlight of my Atlantic City NJ trip. We had to wait 30 minutes but well worth the wait. We all had 4 different dishes with each being equally amazing. The servings were huge and well worth the price paid. The salad, bread and meals were all very delicious. True homemade Italian cooking. If you want a great meal this will not dissapoint.

Family Style Italian Restaurant
Reviewed By ZERO-NONSENSE
Carmine's FAMILY STYLE Italian Restaurant, INSIDE Tropicana Casino 2801 Pacific St. Atlantic City, NJ... what a hefty family-style format with their serving portions that they put out these huge bowls or your order right in the center of the table for all of us to take as much or little as we desired from the main dish of each cuisine.....great table servers with great tasting food. We liked the FAMILY-STYLE eating format in lieu of the traditional getting your own plate of whatever you ordered. Had a great time in this cheery, bubbly, festive, vivacious-decibel eatery. What an enjoyable time. Just left our car right in front with the valet and walked right in and were seated right on time when our reservations called for our seating.

Reviewed By Desaroo
Located in the cellar of an old house near the boardwalk/beach, this popular restaurant serves standard Italian fare. The menu is traditional with no creativity or deft cooking. The buffalo mozzarella and tomato appetizer was good but at $16, The antipasto appetizer came as a salad in a bowl with the contents mixed together. This presentation made it difficult to select any one ingredient. The sea bass entree was good but the portion was modest considering that all entrees are ala carte. The veal saltinboca was good and plentiful as was the chicken arrabiata. Complimentary Italian and garlic bread was good. A side vegetable of spinach and garlic was very good and plentiful for the entire table. The dessert menu focuses on ricotta pies with various fillings. The coconut pie and lemon pie were good but no deep dish. This is a BYOB. The cost for 3 persons was $200, including tax and tip. To some degree this establishment is resting on it's laurels. It reminded me of Angelo's Fairmont Tavern at twice the price. It rate it 3.5 stars.

Reviewed By Jack S
Decided to spin the wheel of fortune and scored a table without a reservation as a walk-in. (Don't even think that you'll be as lucky).Intimate setting marred only slightly by the number of loud talkers (combination of hearing impaired patrons, just plain boors and a small dining room). Otherwise, food and service lived up to the tremendous hype given Cafe 2825 by our hotel concierge. Somewhat puzzled by reviewers who felt menu was pricey, unless their benchmark was the local Olive Garden. One oddity though, was the wine menu which consisted of "mystery" selections simply listed as "Red, White, Sparkling" and so on, though the website featured a robust number of well-known brands. Regardless, we were in the mood for Dirty Martinis and we weren't disappointed by our choice of beverage.Hoping for traditional Rice Balls as an appetizer, but since they weren't on the menu, decided on the Stuffed Artichoke and Spedini - both sublime in their "Grandmotherly" perfection.Main courses chosen were the Veal Rollatini and Rigatoni Bolognese, served hot and plentiful, perfectly prepared - a real delight.Desert consisted of coffee and arguably the best tasting biscotti we'd ever had.So, step outside your mega-casino one evening with its cookie-cutter steakhouse and treat yourself to a true Atlantic City fine-dining experience!

My wife chose Capriccio as the place we were going to have dinner for 30th Anniversary and wow we were not disappointed. We made our reservations on Open Table and everything we had requested was taken care of. We started off the evening by going to their Wine Bar El Cielo for appetizers and drinks. Our bartender Ulysses was excellent, his drinks very good and his recommendation on appetizers was appreciated, we had the calamari and mussels. The restaurant area was packed as it was a Saturday night, but we were ok as we had a drink in hand while waiting on our table. Once our time slot opened up we were seated along the windows as we had requested. Our servers did an excellent job, and our meals of Strozzapreti Alla Bolognese and Vitello Saltimbocca were very good and more that significant portions. The servers knew it was our Anniversary and served us a cannoli with and candle on the plate. All in all we had a great night and we will definitely return here again for dinner on our next stay in Atlantic City, and the convenience of the restaurant being located in the Resorts Hotel was nice!Thank You so much for your excellent review of your experience at Capriccio! We love to hear that we were able to help you celebrate such a special occasion. We look forward to your next visit.
