(One stars because yelp won't let me leave negative) The texture? Imagine biting into a deflated balloon filled with the ashes of your hopes and dreams. Litterly tasted like they just got the sand off of the cape may board walk and infused my ravioli with it. The flavor? Think: "Grandma's attic, but not the fun part with old toys." The aftertaste? A faint whisper saying, "You did this to yourself." Never go here read more

On our way in towards the strip, we wanted to start with a coffee and pastry. Cute place, you can eat in or grab and go! Very friendly staff and decorated for the holidays. read more

Just stopped in for a pastry while wandering the shops. I had the croissant filled with chocolate and coconut butter. Everything you could want from a sweet treat! Buttery, flaky, and filled with chocolate. The woman at the counter was very nice and there were plenty of place to sit outside. I enjoyed my experience! read more

Quaint little spot with worldly charm! We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised by the selection of international desserts and baked goods. The chocolate scone was perfectly soft and rich--one of the best we've had! It's also a great place to sit, relax, and watch the world walk by. A hidden gem worth the stop. read more

Unfortunately we did not have the same experience we did years ago. First, their menu needs some updating. Not one change since we were here years ago. The appetizers were good but the entrees were lacking flavor and topped with cold and hard parmesan cheese. Unfortunately we will not be back. read more

A Ca Mia - Menu - Italian Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

We booked a dinner at A Ca Mia because it was the closest to Ocean City that had available reservations on Open Table. Our party of 11 was seated right away which was nice on a crowded tourist evening. The first high chair they brought us for our one year old did not have a belt. The replacement they brought actually had something so sharp on the belt that it cut into my son in law when he was strapping in his son! The staff didn't seem to care- as if that was normal! On to the food - none of us loved what we ordered and I literally took two bites from my chicken parmesan as that was all I could handle. It was rubbery and seemed undercooked - uggh! I am sorry to say that we do not recommend. read more

I had a great dinner experience at A Ca Mia. The service here is very friendly quick with our appetizers coming out minutes after placing our order. I had the veal parmesan for the main course and it was cooked to the perfect temperature. For beverages, my family had a local, hard apple cider. It was very nice and my family liked it with their meals. All in all, I had a nice dinner here and I recommend this restaraunt if you are in the area! read more

I came here to try the cappuccino, to my disappointment it was weak. I barely tasted the coffee. I had tiramisu but when I came back to my place about 15 minutes later, it was leaking and melted. The coppa dessert were sweet, I had coppa mascarpone and espresso crème brûlée. They were served in glass cups. The texture is similar to flan read more

Food is authentic and delicious! Save room for dessert, you'll definitely want to try the tiramisu. It's a must every time we visit Cape May! read more

Do not go with a large group. We went with one and because tip was included the service was beyond atrocious. He was completely absentee. It's disappointing because the food was good. read more

Great veal parm. Really enjoyed this meal. Good size portion and even included a bit of asparagus on the side. Was a bit disappointed that they charge for extra bread but I can understand it. I'm not sure what the cost would have been as it didn't specify on the menu. It would be nice if they offered one free bread refill. Caesar salad was also good. Parking was difficult but that's to be expected in this prime downtown Cape May location. read more

Looooove A Ca Mia - sooooo decently priced and the pasta dishes are always so good! You get bread for the table and it's BYOB, so with most of their dishes under $30 and BYOB, this will make you satisfied and so will the bill. Also love sitting outside and watching all the happenings on the Washington street mall. read more

A beautiful location, food and atmosphere! We all agreed it was a great choice and we would all go back! The wait for a table for 5/6 on a friday night was about an hour, and there was no system to call us back to the restaurant at the end of the wait or when a table was ready so we had to watch ourselves for that time. Thankfully its in a lovely outdoor mall to make the wait a little more bearable, just don't lose track of time! It is BYOB, but thankfully there are a few shops and liquor stores nearby. We were all very happy with our entrees! The ravioli sampler was beautiful, and the shrimp scampi was some of the best I've had! read more

Just ate here today and don't be fooled by the Northern Italian signs. We had Chicken Parm which was on par with Stoffers frozen dinner and red sauce was watered down into the plate. I had a penne pasta dish with sausage snd broccoli rabe.. again Garlic sauce was watered down and sausage was sliced like pizza quality.. Worst 65 spent on any meal.. Quality is horrible can't believe this place gets more than 2 stars. read more

This Italian restaurant is a staple dining spot for our Cape May summer vacations. The menu is traditional Italian, and the dishes are made from scratch. This year, I had the Chicken Parmigiano, served on a bed of capellini with crushed tomato marinara sauce. It was superb, and the portion was very generous. My daughter had the vegetable lasagna that was a genuine chef's take on this traditional dish. It had yellow squash, zucchini, artichokes, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, onion, and a the perfect accent of mozzarella and Romano cheeses. We had the tomato and mozzarella salad appetizer for two, and a large bottle of San Pelagrino sparkling water. The only minor hiccup was the food came out warm, not hot. Dinner was $93. Overall, excellent service, quiet ambiance. We continue to love this place! read more

I felt the linguini in white clam sauce was made in a chicken broth and it tasted like it was from a can vs fresh. Very disappointed The arugula salad was very good but I'd never return read more

Best croissants in cape may. Sweet and savory pastry. Nice and friendly staff. Tables outside overlooking the Main Street. Bonus: they sell Bulgarian cheese, kashkaval, lukanka and lyutenica read more

I did like the food, but the zuppa soup, the orzo was all clumped and stuck together, super weird. I guess not cooked? Otherwise food was good. The rolls weren't authentic, they were hard, store rolls. That was disappointing. Also I did takeout read more

Wonderful Italian food...indoor and outdoor seating. A little pricey but worth it. Great service.

Food- Meh Service- Ambience- Make your own pasta. Lasagna was all chopped meat. Sauce so-so I don't think they make much on site. Caesar was supposed to be they did they say the Caesar was original "tradition classic" - from a jar? read more

We had a wonderful time, quick service and without a concern. we even did BYOB with no corkage fee. well done!!! read more

Bulgarian feta and baked goods characterize the bakery portion of this restaurant. Wanted to have coffee and sweets here al fresco after dinner -- but we were told they do table service only for dinner guests. Kind of a bummer. Instead we took out a variety of sweets that we ate at an adjacent coffee house -- so it worked out. The apple and cherry turnovers are BOMB! Can't say the same about the 4 or 5 other desserts we tasted -- sold in round glass containers that looked and tasted commercial. Net net: Take out is ok. Eat in? Nyet! read more

A Ca Mia - The Bulgarian proprietor. - Italian Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

We are local to Cape May and try to get to A Ca Mia at least 2 times a summer. We had reservations and the table was literally in the entrance to the patio several feet from the hostess stand and amongst people checking in. We would have been surrounded by people so we requested another table. We were put on the inside porch and that was nice, however our server was the rudest inpearsonalble person who should not work with the public. He was abrupt didn't great us, didn't tell us the specials I had to ask and he spoke so quick I had him repeat what he said. He slammed our dishes down. Didn't pour my husband's soda he just put the can on the table. We felt so rushed. From the time we sat until we paid our check of $110 50 mins had passed. Quickest meal!!! Then when he went to slam our check down to sign he knocked into our water glass and broke it. Glass was in the table and he never apologized or asked if we were OK. He just gruffly said "I will get it." yeah I guess so. He broke it. Last time we will ever go there. The host was not nice either. Very rude and abrupt! This is my first review ever so it must have been a bad experience!!! read more

I give the chicken parm a 3 out of 10. The chicken was too dry. They simply over cooked it.... It was seasoned well but I was eating something overcooked.... 3 people from my party of 5 got chicken parm and everyone said it was overcooked. When you order a drink don't expect a free refill because.... at this elegant restaurant you get... an actual can of soda or can of lemonade etc... $4 for a can of drink. Sad. My son's PASTA AND MEATBALLS looked OK. My wife and I split the salad which was fine. No plate charge to split the salad. In all fairness, I think its tough to find good food in Cape May. Maybe the seasonal business just means your looking far and wide for a chef each year... What great chef works part time? Or maybe your supposed to chew the very "whatever" food and just think of the beach and feel better... I don;t know. Drink that can of soda and burp and feel better about yourself maybe. read more

BYOB and go here for some great traditional Italian food. Had the shrimp scampi with a generous portion of shredded parm cheese, the mini clams casino and kids enjoyed chicken parm. The bill was reasonable and the server was patient. read more

Lovely cookies served up by a very nice woman. I'm looking forward to the summer so I can go again.

Was not the Italian restaurant I was expecting. I ordered the classic spaghetti with meatballs, how could you go wrong? Right? That's what I thought but unfortunately I was wrong. FOOD: The portion size was nice as well as the atmosphere, loved being in Washington Square, but otherwise the food was not. Now to be honest it was not horrible food but for around $25 I feel like I could run to the store and cook up better meatballs myself. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Nice waitress, staff and fast food arrival. I feel like it was a little overpriced for the food and overall not worth it. read more

Life long resident is cape May and our 1st time. Very good food and good service. Live BYOB and portions were very good. Good value too

Best arugula salad I have ever eaten. Bolognese lasagna was fabulous! Great waitstaff!

Came here with my two friends after leaving a previous restaurant due to a lack of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Sat down after confirming that the marinara sauce here is in fact vegan! (And delicious) We ordered the bruschetta to start, it was amazing and crunchy toasted thin bread with the most juicy firm diced tomato pieces with olive oil garlic and basil. We ate every last piece including the lettuce garnish. They also served fresh warm bread and butter which was absolutely divine. My vegetarian friend ordered the zuppa Del Giorno (soup with veggies and pasta, served with cheese on top) - I am pretty sure it would be vegan if asked without the cheese but I would ask first! She absolutely loved it and finished it being completely satisfied by the end. It was nice because she felt kind of sick most of the day after being left to eat mostly fried food at lunch due to the unfortunate yet usual lack of vegetarian options at restaurants nearby. This soup and bread was the perfect healthy and hearty satisfying dinner she needed! "Veggies were perfectly cooked and soft, perfect serving size" - left happy! I am vegan and got spaghetti with Marinara (specified with no cheese garnish). The spaghetti was literally cooked to the perfect al dente level and the marinara sauce was so so good, I would eat it alone with a spoon if I could. My other friend ordered an appetizer as her meal but was extremely satisfied. She got the roasted portobello appetizer, it was severed on a bed of lettuce and bruschetta tomatoes. "delectable, fresh, tasty" she says. Although this dinner was a bit pricy for us teen girls, it was quite worth every penny and was nice to have a fresh, satisfying balanced meal while on vacation!! Thank you read more

We only ordered takeout desserts from A Ca Mia so this review is for those desserts: mini-cheesecake, 2 tiramisu, and a slice of their chocolate cake. We were in Cape May last week and my husband wanted frozen custard from Kohr Brothers but the rest of us wanted cake. My husband scoffed at our idea we could find cake on Washington Mall but we found A Ca Mia and boy were we glad! In addition to their restaurant, they have a little takeout bakery and we each found what we wanted. It was delicious and so much more affordable than ordering the same items as a takeout from their restaurant menu. The combination of the chocolate cake with the cheesecake and chocolate cake with tiramisu was especially delicious! If you're looking for a late night dessert on the mall that's not frozen custard or ice cream, go to A Ca Mia's little bakery! read more

This was a pleasant dining experience for a party of two. We had a late reservation so the restaurant was not overly crowded. An attentive and friendly wait staff tended to our table. I had a filet mignon that was surprisingly among the best I've had. I never expect much from shore town dining so this was a big win. I forget what my companion had (probably fish of some kind) but I do recall she really liked it. In all, I could recommend this establishment and would return. Because of it's location in the busiest section of town, you may do well to reserve a table either early or late when the wait staff and kitchen is not overly stressed. read more

We spent the afternoon shopping and walking around the Washington Mall. A Ca Mia was at the end of the pedestrian path with outdoor seating, so we stopped in for some lunch. They had a lunch menu which consisted of 3 things: tuna sandwich, vegetable quiche, and a pastrami sandwich. The specials also come with the choice of a soup or salad. We ordered the pastrami sandwich and the quiche along with bowls of the vegetable wedding soup. The soup was very delicious with that homemade taste to it. The quiche came out a bit on the cold side and the sandwich was ok. It served our purposes for a quick lunch stop. The restaurant has a patisserie attached to it and the coffee served was very good. We weren't hungry enough, but would have loved to try one of the pastries or desserts. read more

Nickel and dime pricing upset a decent meal. The diner at A Ca Mia is treated like an ATM, with rules and charges designed to pad the check. 1 No access to the kid menu for over 10s. My daughter is 11 and we weren't even offered a kids menu, and were denied when we asked for one. Result: a lot of wasted food. 2 If you want an extra plate to share an entree, $10 charge. 3 Extra bread. Charge. 4 Auto-Gratuity on tables 4 and up. 20%. Wait staff very friendly, with the exception of the surly hostess, although they'd clearly been trained on how to upsell. Here's an idea: charge for Appetizers, Entrees and Deserts and include all your costs in those prices. I always tip 20%, but when you make it mandatory for small parties, I don't feel like it's been earned. I am giving the review 2 stars, since the food was decent, but the attitude towards their customers left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

5/5 or10/10 Filet was worth the price, cooked perfectly medium rare. Tender, and the sauce was amazing. Ordered linguine with clams white sauce, chicken parm and veal parm also amazing. Raviolis super tasty, pasta perfectly cooked. Very attentive service. Definitely make a reservation and enjoy! A must while in Cape May! read more

We had a large group on a Monday night and they were very accommodating, setting up a big table inside for us all. It started out a little chilly in the room but soon warmed up once it began to fill up and was pleasant by the time we left. Parking is tough around this mall area so be prepared to pay at a lot or at the meters - and/or walk a half mile to a mile or so. Our waitress was friendly but not too much help with the menu. I had the salmon which was really good; everyone else liked what they ordered as well. They wouldn't let the kids order from the kids menu because they didn't look under 10. The menu states that the bread isn't free. It also lets you know that there's a $10 fee to split plates. I guess it's nice that they let you know. There was no corkage fee though and we brought our own beer because they are dry. They only have 1 type of wine glass but that's not a big deal; bring your own if you're that particular. read more

We had a reservation at 7:15. My wife and I got there 15 minutes early. We proceeded to check in at the podium and we were greeted by the rudest, crudest, arrogant, piece of of garbage. He is the restaurants number one problem. If your having a bad day, stay the hell home. We were so disgusted we left. There are so many go restaurants in Cape May, please go elsewhere. I'm going to give this establishment a negative review on an all of me social media. read more

Ate here Sunday night before Labor day and it was poor. Food was below average in taste and quantity while also being overpriced. Service was mediocre compounded by the automatic 20% tip added for parties of 4 and up. One last fun fact, they charge $4.50 for a "bread refill" at an "Italian" restaurant , so each of our party of 4 got a small dinner roll and if we wanted another it was $4.50. This place is a joke, try one of the others in the area as I would bet that the Olive Garden would provide a better meal and service experience, and I have never eaten there. read more
