people were nice. that was the only thing that was nice.. that and the house salad dressing.. that i can buy at shoprite....I dont mean to offend the place but i have to tell it like it is.service is S...L...O...Wthis is just for old people that live around the area.this is one of those places that when friends tell me that theyre going to wildwood, i would make sure to tell them "i dont know about any other restaurants, but dont eat at La Piazza Cucina"food took 45 mins with very few customers.sauces are super salty and super watered down. seafood... NOT fresh. shrimps are mushy and dont taste like any shrimp i ever had in my life. mussels are dirty and they use all the dead ones too.. they just smash the shells open.this reminds me of the time when i made the mistake of dining right next to piazza navona. overpriced bad food. atleast when i got ripped off at piazza navona... i had a view of the fountainoh and its also louder than a football stadium cause they some music playing. this is why all these review sites are all messed up. there are so many bad restaurants and places that have positive reviews but terrible food.we went here because of the positive review... conned again.... tripadvisor needs to have a category for bad restaurants with bs reviews Who paid you to put that review up I wouldnât defend this review for $1 million this is totally ridiculous All of you people who bash restaurants if you only knew how hard everyone works to make it happen you would never open your mouth
9. The Ravioli House

4 based on 451 reviews
The Ravioli House is the oldest Italian Restaurant in the City of Wildwood, NJ. In the past 43 years not much has changed at Bennett and New Jersey Avenues in Wildwood. The Ravioli House and Pastry Shop is an Italian family restaurant with a complete take

My family and I were in Wildwood on vacation from 8/14-8/17/19. We have always made this place our first nights dinner tradition every year that we come down. Unfortunately, this year will be our last. The food has been on point in the past, however this time around, several people in my family were not happy. My moms stuffed shells came out with the sauce cool, the ricotta hot, and the shells itself were under par. My husband ordered the Ravioli Trio and he was not impressed. When you can taste the dough of the pasta through the sauce he was not happy. The only reason why I gave 3 stars was that my food, the pizza we ordered, my dads dinner and the kids meals were good. The bakery that was located in the back of the restaurant supplied excellent desserts. Sad to say we will not be returning next year. I also want to add that I have an Italian background, my maiden name being Benevento, so I am no stranger to Italian food. It saddens me to give this kind of review, however I think it is necessary.

My wife and I were looking for a place to buy a pizza and WOW, we walked in to ask about pizza to go and we were instantly so comfortable there that we had a fine meal there instead! Great service and the entrees and sauce were excellent.

I canât come to Wildwood unless I visit Mackâs on the boardwalk at 3218. Been eating this pizza since I was a little girl. Consistently delicious and tasty. I only get the cheese pizza. Yes, itâs greasy but thatâs what makes it so good. Slices are big, crust is good, and mixture of cheese and sauce is wonderful. I wish I didnât have to wait a year for another slice. Excellent as always!

Another dirty dingy pizza place! Special was $5.95 and pizza taste good but crust nearly burnt and not edible. Biggest complaint is bathroom right next to where you order, to use toilet you are facing dirty urinal, feet sticking to floor, omg is there a health department that inspects these places??????

Prime rib was cooked to perfection but although reservation was for a large group 40+ service was harried and sporadic; no sour cream w/baked potato (don't even ask); room was crowded; would definitely recommend going somewhere else.

Poppi's pizza is proud to use the finest and best ingredients. We use San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella made daily in house. Our dough is made with naturally leavened Italian Caputo "00" Flour. Our pizzas are baked in less than 2 minutes at temper

A recent visit to Poppiâs was disappointing. We where a group of 7 and sat outside on a hot night. The outside area is nice but we were not under the canopy which has a few ceiling fans. The place was crazy busy but our service was very good. I wish I could say the same for the food. We ordered small pizzas for appetizer and they were good but nothing special. The truffle arugula had no tastes of truffle. Many in our group ordered chicken picante which came out in a bowel swimming in sauce which I thought to be fairly tasteless. The chicken was cooked nicely but the pastaServed with it was so disappointing. The steak with crab was reported to be very good. I would probably return for pizza and sandwich but not for a real dinner.Over saucing pasta swimming in a bowel is not the way to go in my opinion.

We were recommended to stay and eat here and wait outside cause it was so busy and we did. This place has been around since 1947 and is an authentic Italian Restaurant from the meaning go. They are serious about their establishment and it has spanned 3 generations and still going strong. The service was outstanding !! From the free bread, to the generous portions of food and drink, we were not disappointed. Our server was very friendly and she was so sweet. The food portions were so bountiful that we had to take some food home in a doggie bag. Definitely go there if you are in Wildwood !!!Thank you Danny for your review. My parents taught me to treat customers like family, give them plenty of good home cooked food, good service in a friendly, warm, fun atmosphere and they will return. Looking forward to you returning.
