Cafe 2825

Cafe 2825 is another of Atlantic City’s little gems. It is a small, family run restaurant serving some of the finest Italian food around. It stands on Atlantic Avenue, just in the shadow of the Tropicana, with a beautiful stained wood front with a black awning that has the name on it. It is very unassuming, which is one of its lures.

The menu is presented in the traditional Italian dining fashion of separating the pasta dish from the meat, or Primi y Secondi. Cafe 2825’s Northern Italian roots are evident in the amount of fungi in the menu as well as the octopus and tripe dishes. Homemade pasta is a specialty.

Complimenting the fine dining cuisine is the family feel of the restaurant.  Chances are you will get a visit from the owner, who is friendly and seems to genuinely care about your entire experience. Add in a nice wine list and you have a great meal.

Call for Reservations.

Tony’s Baltimore Grill

Hands down – Best pizza in AC!

This place is a dive in the best possible way. It is the restaurant that you look for when you visit a city and want to go “where the locals go.” It has been ingrained in my family for at least 50 years.  My parents went there in high school. I have been going for as long as I can remember.  And now my daughter associates any pizza with “Tony’s Pizza?” It is like that with families all around the Atlantic City Area, which is what makes it great.

The pizza is why everyone goes to Tony’s, but their spaghetti & meatballs, roast beef sandwiches and fried shrimp are all pretty good too. The pizza has a unique taste that I haven’t found anywhere else. It is not gourmet thin crust pizza, although I am a fan of that style too, but it is fantastic in it’s own way.
