The food was exceptional - homemade pasta! Great menu selection. We tried a number of entrees and absolutely loved them all. The Limoncello chicken earned 1st place! Bella, our server, was wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She took great care of us. The ambience is fitting for a restaurant of this nature. The prices are in keeping with what we expected. Marco does a magnificent job hosting. Can't wait to go back when we visit again next year! read more

Great evening at Spiaggetta. We had a fantastic table by the window. We always enjoy the ambience. Service by Bella was excellent. We began with the special stuffed figs as an appetizer. They were very good. We both went with the veal Adriatica entrée special. It was fabulous. Bella said it used to be on the menu but now they just have it on certain days as a special. It got our vote to be a regular menu item again. Perfectly tender veal scallopini with a delicious and light sauce, topped with crab meat, and shrimp, accompanied by spaghetti with their fantastic marinara. For dessert we had the Italian cream cake. Has a little coconut in it and it was exceptional. It's a huge piece of cake and the two of us did not get close to finishing it. Could easily be shared by four in our opinion. read more

Fine dining at its finest at Spiaggetta! Delish food, upscale atmosphere and an attentive staff make this place a must-go-to when you're in Stone Harbor. Chef Tarantino prepared our appetizer right at our table while giving us some history on the meal and Rome. Can't wait to come back again! read more

The food was good not exceptional. Service was good. Been going here for years is progressively getting more expensive and not as good .needs improvement. read more

Food was excellent. The service was good and the ambiance was perfect. The portions are large and expect to take home part of your meal.

Wow we were so pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Recommended by our hosts, we came here for dinner one night on a recent family trip. They have a small parking lot next to the building which is nice. They also have outdoor seating available too when the weather is good. It is BYOB which is great, so be sure to bring your favorite bottle(s). The food was incredible!! Everything we had was good but the standouts were the shrimp, saltimbocca, and cacio e Pepe. It would be great to come with a group and share a variety of dishes. Our service was also top notch. A very cozy but elegant atmosphere. read more

Great place other than hair in food and forgetful servers. The place is pretty loud but it's a very nice environment. read more

Spiagetta never disappoints. Food is excellent and service is great. Norcina is a delicious cream based dish with mushrooms and sausage pieces. The Sunday Gravy special was large and very good. The meatballs are the best we've ever had anywhere. The long hots are extremely spicy. Grilled artichoke app was good but I wouldn't order it again because it had a small amount of artichoke. The best meal IMO is the bolognese. Super flavorful and paired perfectly with the pappardelle noodle. We eat here every year! read more

The food is AWESOME. The service is sooo good. The ambiance is excellent. There is NO flaw here. Cannolis are very good. All desserts really. I only had the cannoli. read more

Our dinners were delicious and service was great! The restaurant was lively and hopping in a very good way. We already have our next reservation made. The only downside for us is that it's a BYOB and we aren't really wine drinkers. If they had a bar the rating would have been a "5." read more

Marco and his team at Spiaggetta provided us with such a great venue for our rehearsal dinner (we booked the bay room for 65 guests). We dropped off decorations and alcohol the day before and his team set the entire room up! As a bride, this was a huge weight off my shoulders and greatly appreciated. Not only were our guests raving about all of the food but I have Celiac Disease and they were able to provide me with my own safe options (also delicious). Lastly, all of the staff working our event were so friendly and it felt like they truly shared in our excitement. We are so happy with our decision of booking Spiaggetta for our rehearsal dinner and would encourage any bride to do the same! read more

It's byob so that's a bonus. Our service was good but we were also there a bit before season. So when it's really crowded, who knows. The appetizers were good. And the food was pretty good. This is a me thing so take it for what it's worth. But I like my pasta really soft and I found the pasta here to be way undercooked for my liking. Again this is a personal issue. read more

Came here for Stone Harbor Restaurant Week and everything was fantastic from start to finish. We both went with the Prix Fixe meal of course. We got the Coda Suppli, gnocchi, sword fish, papa lina, longhots, and the limone ricotta. The coda suppli was an aracini filled with oxtail meat stew with rice. It was a very good savory flavor packed into that riceball. The gnocchi was a very cheesey and peppery flavor that we enjoyed. The swordfish was perfectly cooked and had excellent sauce alongside it. I did feel the portion on the swordfish entree was a little small, I think it could've used a side dish like veggies or something. It was a good meal all around. Even though it wasn't meant for us (since we didn't order that dish), we enjoyed watching the demonstration of the giant cheese bowl that was melted into a pasta dish. It was a fun distraction while waiting for our food. The prix fixe meal was a good value and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

The go-to Italian restaurant in Cape May County. The fare is absolutely stunning. The staff is extraordinary attentive and kind. I love the vibe here also. Do not miss Spiaggetta when in Stone Harbor!!! read more

Was in Avalon/Stone Harbor for a wedding over the weekend and the rehearsal dinner was at Spiaggetta. We learned it was byob before arriving and the hosts of the dinner did provide beer and wine. There was a server tending the alcohol (pouring wine & opening beers) for guests as we walked in. We had the front right side of the restaurant reserved for our party. Throughout the night the servers were great and kept everything running smoothly despite our large group. I thought the appetizers that were provided were very good. The Antipasto plates displayed beautifully. The Bruschetta was toasted nicely but still was soft and easy to chew while the tomato mixture was fresh and refreshing. The Calamari was also fried nicely and was very tender, and I loved the marinara it was served with. The meatballs (made with pork, veal, & beef) were big and very flavorful. My favorite though was the Eggplant Rolatini which was lightly breaded and super cheesy. Everything we were served I'd order again although I'd love to try the Octopus, Suppli, and Long Hots. Maybe at my next visit! For dinner we were able to choose from Rigatoni, Salmon served with potatoes, and Chicken Parm served with pasta. My girlfriend and I love sharing so we can taste multiple dishes so we got the Chicken Parm and the Salmon. I wasn't crazy about the spaghetti, but the chicken cutlet was thin and perfectly fried. The Salmon was also cooked just how I like it; not overdone but the top was browned and a little crisp. The house-made cookies were also a big hit at our table and went perfectly with the decaf coffee I ordered to finish up the night. As I said earlier, the staff did a great job with us the entire night. The food was very good and so was our experience. It was a great way to start off the wedding weekend. If I'm back in the area I will definitely consider dining here again. read more

Dinner for 5. All dishes were excellent. We ordered eggplant, chicken parm, plain pasta and a rigatoni dish. Good service.

The experience was spectacular! Marco, Analia, and Mother were incredible hosts who brought Italy right to us--I truly felt like I was in a cozy Italian kitchen! read more

Ambiance is great for a date night + food was excellent! Would go back. Not a casual spot.

The service and food were fantastic! The owner Marco gave a personal table side presentation of the Cacio y Pepe. Best authentic Italian cuisine in Stone Harbor read more

We dined here last night and it was an overall good experience for first timers! We were celebrating a birthday as well. The service was attentive and it was a nice atmosphere. We ordered a few appetizers, a salad and a soup and all were good. The main entrees were good - the only hiccup was the mashed potatoes that were a side with the filet were cold but easily remedied by the attentive staff. Desserts were tasty as well! read more

Glad we returned after all these years. The space is very open (and it appears they have additional tables upstairs) and the staff all very friendly. There were 4 adults and two children and we had all eaten a late lunch so we just were all going to have entrees. We had somewhat early dinner reservations because we didn't want to miss the Thanksgiving Day parade thru town. Even at this early hour, the restaurant filled up very quickly. The kids had a half portion of Spaghetti and Meatballs with the meatballs not only enormous but delicious. Two of us ordered the Veal Saltimbocca with prosciutto, sage and mozzarella in a white wine sauce, served with a side of pasta marinara. Very good. The Bronzino with Broccoli Rabe and mascarpone polenta was delicious as was the Pappardelle Rabbit Bolognese - braised rabbit ragout in homemade pasta. So before tip, the bill came to around $200. The appetizer menu alone is worth another visit. Remember - it's a BYO. read more

Our meal was delicious. Service was great. Beautiful restaurant. The cannoli's were delicious.

Fantastic experience. Top-notch Roman cuisine, with a wide selection. The chicken and pasta Amatriciana were excellent. A special mention goes to the cacio e pepe pasta, simply divine. The waiters paid meticulous attention to every detail. Thanks to the owner Marco, who made us feel right at home. Long live Spiaggetta! Good luck with everything. read more

Saturday night couples diner, the food is always consistent and authentic Roma, Marco (the owner) checks in with each quest to ensure food quality is up to standards. The restaurant has a nice family vibe, great weekly specials and the white linen table covers are a nice. Spiaggetta is my go to, it's even open for the most of the off-season. read more

We dine at Spiaggetta every year when we visit Stone Harbor, and have never been disappointed. This year was no exception. I'm a Cacio e Pepe fan and last night we tried the tableside preparation. It's a wonderfully simple dish and when prepared properly can be exquisite. Just like Chef Marco's plate he put in front of us last night. We also had salmon, meatballs, spring salad, pasta bolognese and tiramisu. It was all superb! Our waiter Devin was terrific as well. Attentive and personable, he also enhanced the experience. read more

Man, I love this place. My family and I eat here every summer and have since the pandemic, when the owner was so sweet and made room for us outside when he saw we were browsing around with no reservation at a time when you couldn't get into a SH restaurant without one! Our waiter this year was Devin, and he was a sweetheart. So attentive and just a nice human being. Got the rice balls and octopus and both were stellar. Everyone got pasta dishes (the mushroom one and the homemade one, I can't remember exact names) and they were to die for. Good, unfussy, unpretentious, loud vibes -- perfect for small kids (we have 3 and never felt awkward). The chef came out to say hi and that was nice too. We will be back for years to come. read more

Group of 7... great table... everyone was satisfied with their meal... Chicken Parm, Bolognese, Saltimbocco, and a few Soups. Our Server was attentive, and our meal order was perfect. Definitely returning next year. Sorry to see them close for the winter season. read more

We had such an amazing experience at their feast of the seven fishes celebration. If you are anywhere near the south jersey area, this is worth the experience (we came down from philadelphia, but frequently visit stone harbor - hence our knowledge of the event.) The atmosphere couldn't have been any better for this sitting. The restaurant was decked out with decorations and ornaments, really embracing the holiday cheer. They even had a violinist, which set such a great mood for the evening. It was a 3 hour seating, so be prepared for that. That is noted at the time of rsvp'ing. It was a legit 7 course meal, with a solid variety of seafood and italian cuisine. My wife is a vegetarian, and they even catered an entire menu per her dietary restriction (which was all fantastic by the way.) BYO to top it all off, making this not only fun but affordable. We can't wait to come back in the future. If I had to call one dish out, it would be the Baccala. This traditional dish for the feast of the seven fish is something you can't regularly find on any given menu. It was cooked perfectly, rich & creamy, and highlighted the cod and potatoes nicely. It was the perfect pair and a great holiday dish in the cold weather. read more

Service was efficient and they really try to move tables quickly. Antipasto appetizer had a nice variety, but they left off the vin cotto. Calamari was tasty. Entrees were good, especially the mushroom risotto. Prices are very high, but not out of line with other places in Avalon and Stone Harbor. read more

We were a party of 7. They put is in the parking lot. Literally. I personally liked it. My family did not like it. They felt at these prices we should not be at a table in the parking lot on gravel. A car was parked next to me. There were 3 tables in the parking lot and one had children. Wait staff was Good. My zucchini flowers appetizer was ok but my cousin's were ice cold. My brother-in-law had ice cold fried calamari. Rotolini had a sauce with no flavor. The chateriea board was bad. Grilled bread bad. Prosciutto was not good quality. The portion was crazy small (4 slices) for $44. We did not finish it. Cacio and Pepe was dry. My fish was forgettable. Manager(?) brought out free cannoli for dessert apologizing for broken fryer and he took it off the bill. Was disappointed in the food- this is an annual dinner with all the cousins (7 of us). The food was not good and it was not cheap. The company was the best part. read more

Over priced. I get it, you are in a shore town with few options but robbery to charge $29 for plain pasta and meatballs with literally no flavor. That's $29 for just pasta and bad bread.if you like their meatballs and sauce, you have never tasted what excellent sauce/meatballs taste like. Literally the most bland sauce and meatballs I have never had!! read more

We have been to dinner several times at this restaurant and we have never been disappointe. The food and service have been excellent! This past weekend I held my daughter's bridal shower in the upstairs banquet room. Everything was beautifully set up according to my wishes and Bella was very patient and accommodating with last minute changes to seating. The whole staff was excellent! I received many comments about how great the food was and the beautiful room. The assistant chef came up to introduce himself and came up later as well. The owner, Marco was also on hand to make sure our every need was met. I highly recommend having an event here or just coming in for dinner. You will not be disappointed! read more

Great atmosphere, the food was spot on and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend for dinner .

If I could give this 4.5 - I would. Party of 12. Solid service during July 4th weekend. BYOB. Seemed like we bought one of everything. House made lasagna was on specials list and was amazing. Bruschetta app was very good. Everyone's food was great. As good of beach Italian as you'll find. read more

Spiaggetta's is one of our favorites Italian restaurants at the South Jersey Shore. Their delectable menu items are always spot-on! Last night my bride had "LIMONCELLO" - Breast of chicken sautéed with Limoncello cream and fresh seasonal herbs. Served with fusilli pasta, which was exquisite. I had one of their House Specialties, "CACIO E PEPE" - Spaghetti, tossed with a sauce of black pepper and aged pecorino cheese that was exceptional. However, this is where the positive dining experience ended. Our server was curt, gruff, impersonal and seemed bothered. Our attempt to engage in conversation with him was always ignored. His behavior was an aberration from the usual warm and friendly norm that we are accustomed at Spiaggetta's. Next time back, we will request anyone but him! read more

Ooof I don't even know where to start. We had 3 appetizers. Meat balls, stuffed eggplants, and truffle fries. Meat balls were mediocre I would not reccomend getting them honestly. But the eggplant and truffle fries were awesome. The pepe pasta and aurora pasta that we got at the table was absolutely delicious. Service was awesome as well. I would come here again any chance I get. read more

We had a gift card for this restaurant that we ad not had time t use, until last weekend. And boy oh boy am I sorry we had not come into this restaurant sooner. It is simply wonderful. I had the BURRATA as an appetizer. My wife had the CAPRESE salad. Both were perfect. Entrees consisted of Grilled shrimp over zucchini risotto with crispy pancetta creamy Pinot Grigio vinaigrette. I had mine sans the pancetta. We loved that dish. Dessert was sorbet and cheesecake. To die for is an understatement. Marco Tarantino has created a wonderful restaurant where great Italian food and service make this restaurant a must visit. You've got to try it for yourself. read more
