    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!

    We were staying with friends Which was close by and we had an early evening for a show so we went…read morefor an early dinner. The waiter was excellent. 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.
