    Seafood ravioli special
    Nicole T.

    The food is delicious! BYOB. The seafood ravioli is a must. Service is so warm. They can absolutely improve the bread though - not great especially for an Italian restaurant. Nice for date night or family dinner out!

    When you're here your family. Oh wait... But really ...it did seem like the surrounding tables knew each other. This was unique in its own right. Authentic staff as they were actually from Italy. Food: my folks and my sister liked their dishes. The veal was delicious. I must have ordered the wrong thing as my dish was simple. Before we left we got free shots of lemoncello which was a nice touch to the end of an Italian meal.

    Greek salad. Tomatoes weren't the best but I'm used to organic ones. Cheese was delicious! Served with a balsamic glaze. I prefer plain vin.

    The food looks great. I chatted with some guests as they left. Said she loved the lobster special and here all the time. This is an incredibly romantic restaurant in Wildwood NJ. The staff are very pleasant and the waitress looked the part wearing a Italian looking scarf, so cute. But the best thing is they are open year round and have some nice little tables right outside the window if it's not too cold. I ordered the Greek salad. I didn't realize it was everything but the romaine lettuce and they gladly gave me some. I would definitely try one of their other dishes next time.

    This was a nice restaurant but it was a long weekend and we had to wait over 40 minutes to be seated even with a reservation, which I confirmed well before arriving. The service and food were great, would recommend for a more upscale dining experience in the area.

    Calamari and Arugula Salad
    Rafael A.

    One of the best in Wildwood. I had a great family meal here on a recent trip to Wildwood. Our waitress and hostess were very friendly and it helped make for a nice dinner. There is Italian music playing in the background but it wasn't very loud, which was a nice addition to the atmosphere. The meal was excellent. We had appetizers, main courses, and desert. 5/5 on the arugula salad and calamari appetizers as well as the crème brulee and chocolate moose cake deserts. The main courses were filling but I thought my veal parmesan could have had better texture. For drinks - keep in mind this is a BYOB restaraunt, so plan accordingly. For non-alcoholic drinks - I think the soda choice could be better. I wanted a ginger ale but the closest they had was lemonade. All in all, I had a great meal here and like I said before, this is one of the best in Wildwood.

    delizioso!! A fantastic dining experience... everything we had was delicious. The staff couldn't do enough to help us.

    Veal parmigiana. Amazing

    Wildwood gem. BYOB New place that will get popular quick!!! On Pacific and Taylor. Tons of street parking. Free parking at Uncle Bills back parking lot The staff was really friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. The calamari was tasty and hubby loved the expresso and chocolate cake. Veal parm was loved by hubby I wish I wrote down what I got (special). It was amazing I'll be back

    Scampi risotto
    Alexandra I.

    First time dining and great spot for classic Italian staples. We had a group of 5 and were seated promptly. Our waiter was very attentive and enthusiastic. He was awesome! We ordered eggplant rollatini, calamari, and caeser salad. All was excellent except the rollatini - the menu said cinnamon was added to it, but it was way too much cinnamon. Definitely would not recommend. The calamari was crisp and the Caesar salad was perfect. For entree, we had a mix of chicken, pasta, and fish dishes. Everyone licked their plates clean. The ambience is a little off - I can't tell what it is. But definitely would be back.

    Great food and atmosphere. Chicken parm and longhots are great.

There are several rooms to this restaurant, and it is actually located underneath a bowling alley. Talk about a hidden gem, literally! We enjoyed the live entertainment. The performer was fantastic! There was a small dance floor in front of him, and rumor has it the patrons often jump up and cut the rug. I even got a birthday serenade, table-side. So cool! If a menu offers Pasta and Crab, then you can bet your hiney I am ordering it. This place DID IT UP. Huge chunks of real crab. More crab than any other restaurant in South Jersey (really, more than any other restaurant in the entire state of New Jersey...I order this dish everywhere). The red gravy was balanced (more tart than sweet, which is what I prefer). The house salad that arrived ahead of the entrees was delicious. Creamy yet light dressing, if that even makes sense. Our party of 7 raved about everything we ordered. The garlic bread was even insanely delicious. There are so many restaurants in the area, but THIS is one we will return to time and time again. We were in the area one week later and ordered some pasta and crab to-go. It traveled back to Voorhees beautifully. Thanks for making my celebration so special, Alfe's!

I had the grill grouper one of 5 fishes of the day (on a Tuesday..not a good sign) fish had zero flavor and tasted like it was purchased on Friday. Guess the chef was trying to get one more day- server sounded surprised and said all of our fish comes in fresh everyday...(she did remove from the check) Anyway got a side order of cheese ravioli not hot and the sauce did have a slightly burnt taste as well. Sure wildwood in the summer- dining can be a crap shoot- guess I should have tried roulette...

I loved the red décor and photos all around of Joey P. and customers / celebrities that have dined there. Our friends valeted but we parked a street up. The pay by app made it very easy and I actually already had it downloaded. Since tomorrow will be my splurge day, tonight was just a Caesar salad with added shrimp. THIS SALAD WAS HUGE and had a plentiful amount of shrimp in it for sure! I ate almost the whole thing! It, along with the pastina soup, was well enough for me! All others had pasta and / or chicken dishes; huge portions! Everyone loved what they ordered : ) We were literally entertained the whole time by a really good duo - JUST IN TIME ~ a married couple named Joanne and Stu. They played music genres ranging from 50s - on. Joanne even sang Karen Carpenter, who is hard to sing. She did her proud! Great entertainment that even welcomed diners to come up and belt out a few! Many were dancing / line dancing! So fun! Our server, Trisha, was peppy and attentive. She handled a very crowded restaurant beautifully. We weren't rushed at all - our evening was an experience more than just a meal. Im stupefied at the under four star reviews - truly.

There was also live music that day which made it even more of a blast. I'm not really a bar guy but the one here looks like a nice place to chill and watch a game. But enough about the looks, let's talk about the food. For our prix fixe meals, we got: friend mozzarella triangles, clams, steak in Marsala sauce, gnocchi with crab, bread pudding, and chocolate mousse. We loved everything that was served to us. Our favorites being the two entrees. The steak was cooked perfectly, it was very tender and I loved the Marsala sauce with the mushrooms. The gnocchi had a very nice creamy sauce. My only nitpicks for our experience are two very minor things. I know it's restaurant week but give us a 3rd mozzarella triangle. The timing of the meal was a bit off. There was also a very long wait in between each dish, with the whole dinner taking about 2 hours. That might not be a deal breaker for those who like slower paced meals. Especially if there's good live music playing like there was during our visit. Aside from that, everything else was great. I will definitely come back again for dinner. I'm dying to know how they'll decorate for Christmas too.

Their menu had a wide range of Italian dishes including small plates, salads, sandwiches, pizzas and entrees from land and sea. From plates I got to try the zucchini fritters and polpo affogato (grilled octopus), both were excellent. Among pizzas, I tried the four cheese, the fig, the truffle and the Margherita. All their pizzas were so good, loved the toppings and the crust. Among the entrees, Bronzino oreganato, linguini and clams, chicken parmesan pasta were also really top notch. Despite the restaurant being house full, the staff members did an excellent job of keeping up with the tables. Our server was a pro, handled all different orders and requests of 18 people efficiently. The kitchen also kept up with all the dishes, though it took them some extra time but all the pizzas and dishes were cooked perfectly. There was a 3% fee for using credit card. But overall everyone in our group had a wonderful dinner experience.
