Domenico’s restaurant in Ventnor.
This corner BYOB is a real find. A couple of miles downbeach of AC, Dominico’s is an intimate restaurant with no more than 20 tables. The chef is there nightly and makes his rounds around the restaurant, something that is truly appreciated by the customers. The food is incredible, starting with the long list of specials that changes frequently. Arancini and Osso Bucco are two standout items from the menu, but I have never been disappointed with a meal at Domenico’s. The fact that it is a BYOB only increases the appeal. It means that the food must really stand on its own and it does. It also means you can spend $30 on a really good bottle of wine that would cost $90 at a restaurant with a liquor liscense.
A staple in the Atlantic City dining scene since the 30’s, Angelo’s is the “Red Sauce” Italian Restaurant to go to if you want good, traditional Italian American comfort food. Always on the special menu is their famous Lobster Ravioli. Five large cheese and lobster filled ravioli in a pink cream sauce with lump crabmeat and a lobster tail in the middle. It is the best Lobster Ravioli I have found. A good trick with the Lobster Ravioli is to split it with a partner, they add an extra ravioli, evening both plates out to three raviolis and 1/2 a lobster tail. Usually this size serving with and appetizer and their house salad that comes with every meal is the perfect amount of food. It even leaves room for dessert and a sambuca or espresso to finish off the meal.
