The omelette had nice flavor that I hoped was not from the hair. We returned for breakfast the next day, but I didn't get the eggs.

It was empty on a Friday evening, when the entire hotel was booked. The hostess was really sweet and friendly. Our waitress was rude and impatient. I’m guessing the gentleman with the long apron on was the restaurant manager. He didn’t stop once to ask us if we needed anything or if we were enjoying ourselves. But he did stop at the other three tables that were occupied. The food wasn’t great. The best thing were the breadsticks and the Caesar salad. The calamari was fried too hard. The meatballs were dry and the pasta was mushy. It wasn’t worth the prices at all. That was me and my husband’s first time dining there and we said nope, never again.

Walked into the restaurant and there were 2 other tables of diners, otherwise the place was empty. The interior was beautiful..furniture, etc. But the place had a foul odor to it. We sat down. Waiter brought water and the menu but due to the odor, we decided not to eat there. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.

I am so happy to have found my new go to restaurant when I'm in Atlantic City. The restaurant has such a great vibe. Old school charm and elegance and beautifully decorated. The views of the ocean were awesome. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the chicken cutlet parmigiana which was outstanding, the sauce was authentic and the pasta that was on the side was excellent. What a great place to dine. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. The prices were very reasonable for Italian restaurants and for the view and for the excellent food that you're gonna get it is definitely worth your while. I will be returning whenever I'm in Atlantic City.
