Mamma Lena's in Ventnor is one of the most incredible Italian restaurants I've been to recently…read more They're located right off the boardwalk on the first floor of a condominium building so you'll have to do street parking since there's no private lot. I love that they're BYOB and you'll have a view of the pool and the ocean from a distance. Service was outstanding. It was perfectly timed and so personable. They provide complimentary bread with a delicious olive oil topped with crushed red pepper. To start, we split the Caesar salad and this was one of the best we've had in a while! It was cheesy and had the right amount of dressing without being too overpowering. They added olives and freshly made croutons that gave it some extra texture that I enjoyed. For my entree, I had the milk fed veal chop served Milanese style which was nice and light exactly how the server described it. It's like a caprese salad on top of a battered and crisp bone in chop. The balsamic was so tasty and they put a very generous amount of mozzarella on top. This was 17 ounces so I couldn't finish half of it but it still tasted great leftover. The star of the evening was the chef's specialty dish: the Pork Chop Agro Dolce. It's a center cut bone in pork chop topped with carmelized onions, a hot cherry pepper & capers in a sweet & slightly sour sauce over a candied sweet potato which tasted just as amazing as it sounds and looks!! I was dipping my veal chop into this sauce because it was absolutely incredible!! I don't think I've ever had a better pork chop in my life. It really puts others to shame. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert, but I'm already looking forward to my next visit here to try some pastas and seafood. They also had special items that I'm super curious about! Highly recommend this place!

He was a was knowledgeable and he was very personable. The food was good. I must say we had pork chops. They said they were a little too spicy. It came with a sweet potato and we we had shrimp and calamari salad and it was too spicy. Unfortunately, The best part for me was the salad Jules salad. It was delicious. we also had eggplant Parmesan appetizer, $30!!!!, which was delicious and then we had the tuna tartare, which was also very good. The restaurant was very pricey. The atmosphere is nice, but when you look out the window, all you see is a pool you don't see the ocean. It's a restaurant that I would recommend but be aware of the cost and the spiciness.

We ordered delivery from this pizza place last night and were not disappointed! We called around…read more6pm on a Thursday night and it got delivered in about 45 mins. We got 3 pizzas: plain cheese, pepperoni, and Sicilian. The pizzas were large, crust was well-made, and cheese + sauce ratio was on point. The Sicilian is super thick and doughy, a unique type of pizza to get that was different than the more traditional style. We were all very pleased with the pizza and it was especially great to have this quality at an affordable price (delivery price came out to $72 and we had plenty of leftovers). Glad we found this place to try while in NJ!

There are a couple of handy small parking lots that are well maintained. It's nice to see little kids try their hand at fishing.

There is a fairly narrow bridge road where if two cars pass each other at the same time, you kind of hold your breath and hope you don't end up like Chappaquiddick.

Id noticed the murals before just passing by, but seeing them as part of a curated journey gives everything so much more meaning. The guide helped point out details I never would've caught on my own, and it added a whole new layer of appreciation. The artwork is powerful, full of emotion, and spread across the city in a way that makes the whole place feel like an open-air gallery. It celebrates the personality of the neighborhoods and captures stories that stay with you long after you're done. What really stood out to me was how much heart is behind each piece. You can feel the intention, the humor, the honesty, and the love woven into every message along the route. It turns a familiar ride into something unexpectedly uplifting. I left feeling inspired and genuinely connected to the city in a new way. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a different, more meaningful side of Philly.
