Anjelica's Restaurant

WOW!If you are seeking a first class dining experience look no further than Angelica’s.We enjoyed a birthday celebration at Angelica’s and it couldn’t have been a better evening.Service by Oscar was thoroughly professional-attentive and friendly and not intrusive.There is outside dining in front and down a side alley which must be enjoyable in the spring, summer and early fall-we however ate inside. The only downside of Angelica’s is the seating is somewhat cramped and loud in the dining room but the service and the food overcome this shortcoming.The pasta, all of the pasta is homemade and is absolutely to die for and can stand alone as a reason to visit. It is truly special with a sauce that is light and not overpowering.Apps to check out include the fresh jersey tomatoes with mozzarella and a roasted cauliflower in a pool of a light cream sauce-Yumm!Main courses were outstanding as well. Grilled Halibut was crispy on the outside yet warm and moist on the inside on a bed of sautéed spinach and pasta. Veal Parm on the bone was special-Huge and almost didn’t fit on the plate. Terramisu was heavenly and served on cold plates and was also to die for.Angelica’s is BYOB with parking on the street and across from a municipal parking lot. Spring Lake has a hip upbeat street vibe which was nice for a walk after dinner.Reservations are a must-at least a month in advance for the weekend so plan ahead.Angelica’s is not cheap by any means but don’t let that dissuade you! Special experiences are special for a reason. Angelica’s is absolutely worth every penny.

We visited for dinner. Great early bird specials. The muscles in red sauce were great! I got the eggplant parmesan, chicken parmesan, and ravioli trio. My wife got the gnocchi. Bread with dipping sauce and large salad with housemade dressing. Everything was delicious. The service was great. We took home enough food for 2 more meals including the sauce from the muscles Mmm! My dinner came with bread pudding, my wife got a piece of tiramisu. All for $55. We come here whenever we visit Wildwood!!

Undici, replete with ancient stone, wood, tile and plaster, is a faithful recreation of a Tuscan farmhouse. The rustic cuisine is curiously reflective of its surroundings. Every effort has been made to source the best of the best ingredients and formidabl

What a fabulous, warm, inviting, beautiful & delicious restaurant....We always sit at the bar to eat, its fun to talk to the bartenders & staff. The service is impeccable there, from the welcome hello to the knowledge of the menu and drink selection and the courtesy with which every patron is treated.

A small italian restaurant (BYOB) in the Highlands. Apps; wife had a shrimp bisque that was good. I had a salad of Jersey tomatoes, cucumbers and cubes of bread (quite good). Wife had an entree of scallops which she loved. I had a duck special - the slices of duck were like steak and a quarter duck as well. It was the best duck dish I have ever had. Dessert was a warm apple pie with gelato. Will definitely come back for another visit.

Philly’s is located at the end of a small strip mall on West Avenue close to Burger King. Cheesesteaks are their specialty, but they also make chicken cheesesteaks and a variety of specialty sandwiches. You can eat in or takeout. We enjoyed the California Cheesesteak with lettuce, tomato & mayo which was reasonably priced.

This is a nice clean cozy looking Italian Grill & Pizzeria that’s located next to the Vingo Liquor Store and Super Foodtown. I stopped here to get a sub to go so we could enjoy a sandwich down at Sandy Hook. They had an extensive menu of reasonably priced Italian dishes, and the pizzas they were preparing for lunch looked and smelled great. Our sub on the go was good, but it would be nice just to stay there and enjoy a good meal.

Stopped by this gem the other day. If you haven't tried their burrata or fresh mozzarella yet, run don't walk and get here. Other favorites are their grilled eggplant, and marinated artichokes.Their pizza is fantastic too! Everything is made in house and from scratch.

This is THE best italian deli in the area. The sandwiches are enormous. The bread is fresh. Most of their business is catering for events. We order here all the time for small gatherings when we need food. Everything they make is outstanding. Its a no brainer. If you live in the area and have not tried this place, do yourself a favor and stop in.
