Annata Wine Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Hammonton, New Jersey

It truly hurts my soul to do something like this but we had one single date night away from the kiddos recently and we're so excited to try this out. Took 10-15 min for a server to come over, the bartender couldn't make a simple old fashioned, the table next to us very vocally hated their drinks too. They ran out of bread and brought a small plate of plain crackers. The music was depressing country music. My wine glass was dirty. The appetizer was good! We got the $46 risotto special and I couldn't even taste the lobster or risotto it was so bland. We were SO excited and it was SO disappointing all around, not to mention $188.00. Our server was very sweet, I will say. read more

We tried a new place with friends and it was really goo. Never hung out in this town before but it's fun to explore. Their espresso martini flight was good (original, pumpkin and salted caramel). But you know what was really delicious! Their hearts of palm dip. Never had anything similar and I know I'll be craving it. We sat outside and it's basically next to a parking lot but they had lights and it was cute. Our server was great. read more

Annata has been my favorite restaurant in Hammonton since I was in high school. Since they opened in 2008, it has been a go to restaurant for celebrations for my family and friends: birthdays, engagements, new jobs, and special occasions of all kinds. We love their food, the drinks, and the ambiance. The service has always been professional and friendly. So, imagine my surprise and disappointment when we had to stand at the bar for over an hour waiting for our table, a table that we had a reservation for. It was a Saturday night and we were a party of 6, so earlier in the week we made a reservation for 7:00. When we arrived, we were told our table would be ready shortly and directed to the bar. The term "shortly" is vague, but there is no definition of that word that would indicate we would not be seated until after 8:00. During that time, no one in management came to check on us at all. Three different times, we had to find someone to ask when we could be seated. Each time we were told "a few more minutes." My friend actually had to go stand over by the table to get someone to clean it for us, because even when the party we had been waiting for left, no one made any attempt to clean it and get us seated until she did. When we were finally seated, we had to hunt someone down to get some bread because we were starving and no one had come to take our order. And when we did finally get our food, it was the worst meal I've ever had at Annata. They were out of several dishes we tried to order, and the chicken my mom ordered was tough and extremely overcooked. At one point, my mom fell down when trying to get out of her chair (the chairs are very comfy, but also heavy and difficult to get out of), and no one even noticed. I could have passed out in my salad, and they wouldn't have acknowledged it. We paid full price for this experience. This lengthy, uncomfortable, and disappointing experience. And they didn't so much as offer a complimentary appetizer. Mistakes happen, but businesses that respect their customers at least acknowledge when they make mistakes and offer an apology. Nothing like that happened here. I felt very disrespected, and I'm disappointed that we were treated so badly by a restaurant I loved and have been recommending for years. So this is my breakup letter to Annata. It's you, not me. read more

We dined on the patio Friday 9.20.24. We received excellent service from Gianna. I love that I can order Almathea Europa here by the glass. We ordered Duo Of Gnocchi, Eggplaht Tower, Burrata Special, and Lobster Shrimp Risotto. Weather was gorgeous, service was perfect, and food was delicious. read more

The decor is very comfy and rustic. All of the staff we came in contact with were very friendly. It was a rainy day so we weren't in a rush and they weren't either. The bread and meatballs were good. Could've used more sauce and mozzarella cheese. Wine fries were delicious! If we go back, it will be to try something from their dinner menu not sandwiches. read more

I've been here twice now. The first time we went we got fish tacos (which were strangely not listed on the menu last time or this time), and the portion was huge (despite being half size with three tacos) but the flavors were bland. We decided to give Annata another go this year, and ordered the formaggi (meats, cheeses, tapenade), sea bass, and cheesesteak spring roll. The meats were fine, spring roll was good but the prime rib was a little dry, and then the sea bass was super fishy and did not taste well, so we did not finish it. It is a shame, because it is actually really nice inside, and though the wait staff seems short-staffed and busy, they are usually polite. I just don't think I'll go again because the food struck out twice. read more

After a few hours kayaking, my husband, and I found this cute little town and wine bar where we had a late lunch. I was extremely impressed by the service and food. Excellent! We ordered several things from their small plates menu and everything was super tasty and not skimpy at all. Also, they have a full bar and an extensive wine selection. I would 100% return! read more

First time to visit Annata- we aren't big wine people so we went with cocktails- the hot honey Margarita and apple butter Old fashioned. Seafood bisque was good, alittle "grainy" for a bisque but loaded with seafood and good flavor. Oyster of the day was From Barnaget bay and was delicious and so fresh. We also had the Annata egg roll (sausage eggplant and arugula and fontina in a tomato bisque sauce) shishito peppers and small portion of Sea Bass in a flavorful tomato broth read more

We haven't been here in a while but I had an early birthday dinner here for my sister. This dining room is really fun with inviting and relaxing chairs. Our food is always good here and they have an updated menu since the last time i was here pre-2020. I think it was time for a change and I liked the new additions. Our server was great. When it came time to pay their machine didn't leave an option to tip on the card which was really weird but we happened to have enough cash to tip properly.

This place is fantastic - anyone that gives it less than 4 stars prob has a chip on their shoulder. 1) the vibe is excellent. Great seats, cool room, generally some light live music - that's not to loud so you can talk without shouting. 2) solid bar- the drinks are always spot on - good beer, wine and bourbon. 3) the food is top notch - without 1 or 2 above I would still go here - but with the other two this place is an easy pick. Gnocchi is excellent, Filet's are fantastic. And they have Braciole. I struggle to choose every time. read more

Came with a friend on a Saturday night and we sat at the bar. I had already eaten but she had not. I started with a lemon drop martini straight up. It was missing the sugar rim but otherwise good. We ordered both oyster plates. They were good. The after dinner drink of a mint martini was delicious. read more

I've been to annata several times. The food is great but the portions fall short. It's expensive, given the portion size. My favs: *Figtini- if you like fig, you'll love this cocktail! On the sweet side, pairs well with any savory dish, as it's a light cocktail. *Heart of Palm Dip- get it. Period. *Locatelli Encrusted Halibut- A great dish! Slightly crusted on the outside. The tomatoes and peppers offer a slight acidic taste that pairs well with the savory flavor of the prosciutto/spinach/bean/ and halibut. The ambiance is perfect for a date night. Catch them on the weekend to enjoy some live music. The restaurants located in the center of town. Street parking can be a little tricky, as it's located in the middle of town. Park on one of the neighboring residential streets and walk over. Make sure you make a res, as they get busy! read more

The ambiance is so amazing. The service is top notch. My husband said it was the best Prime Rib he ever had. We would highly recommend this restaurant read more

Annata is a consistently good, casual-yet-classy joint that radiates a welcome, chill vibe. Everyone looks good in the dimmed light, beneath the spacious ceiling, sipping a cocktail and perusing the leather-bound wine list. Our last visit's highlights included the pork tenderloin, wrapped in prosciutto, and the pappardelle with shrimp. The pork was served medium, with a stripe of pink lining the center of the cut. The prosciutto was expertly rendered-an unctuous, crisp crust. We had some pacing issues, with the calamari coming out just after the Manhattans arrived (is squid a good accompaniment to an exquisitely crafted bourbon Manhattan? Because rye wasn't available-boo! I-don't think so), and our wine order was taken only after our entrées arrived. The service is brisk and the staff knowledgeable. The bleed through from the private party rooms competed with the live entertainment in the main dining room, all of which subtracts from the dining experience when you're looking for some quiet conversation. Annata is a must-try in charming Hammonton. read more

The perfect date night dining experience. Tucked in the quaint town of Hammonton, Annata Wine Bar transports you to what feels like the heart of Italy. The restaurant walls are lined with bottles of wine, dim lights, and oversized arm chairs, sure to give you ALL the romantic vibes (and vines for that matter). I started with the glass of a local sparkling blueberry wine and my boyfriend, an Italian Jackass (blood orange, Tito's, and ginger beer). Both drinks were absolutely delicious. Dinner started with a complementary (fresh out the oven) seeded-bread and what seemed like a sun-dried tomato olive oil. Superb! While it was my first time visit, my boyfriend knows all the go-tos on the menu. We ordered a small meat and cheese board (with spiced olives) and the heart of palm dip which he raved about. The charcuterie board was as expected but the star of the night was the dip. The second the warm dip and pita hits your mouth, there's no going back. I'd go back and just order that as my meal. It is quite, rich in flavor, though. As for the entrees, we ordered the small gnocchi duo, both made in wine sauces. OOF! By far some of the best homemade gnocchi I've ever had. It melts in your mouth. We also shared the risotto with beef braciole. So delicious! My first risotto in a red sauce and I'm not mad about it. The beef was very dry but still tasty. Though, we felt like we had to be rolled out of there, we couldn't leave without trying the creme brûlée cheesecake. INSANELY GOOD! The staff is beyond accommodating and sweet. Can't wait to return in the future. read more

Went there on a Friday night after we called ahead for a reservation days before. When we got there place was clearly understaffed. Table was ready but they didn't seat us, told us to get a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. Waited 45 minutes for a drink at the bar, never came, table was finally "ready" then we waited anther 20-30 minutes and no waitress even greeted us. Drinks finally came, worst drinks we've had in quite some time, left without even ordering. Won't be back. read more

The food was fantastic! We had a strawberry mojito and a blueberry lemon sangria. Next, shishito peppers with a soy glaze and cilantro to start. Then Annata salad and Caesar salad. We had dessert shortly after. Everything was delicious. Service was good as well. Go here if you want a quick appetizer or a day on the town! Superb, authentic food and wonderful atmosphere. Also - this was my first review so you know it's gooooood ;) read more

While visiting downtown we decided to dine in and try this spot. Based on reviews we expected to be wowed. Overall was meh. Ahi tuna entree was ok. Tuna was chewy and had a microwave texture like leftovers. Risotto with beef braciole was very good at the beginning. But seemed to get bland after several bites. Beef braciole was a bit dry. Service was very good and friendly. read more

Annata Wine Bar - Ahi tuna - Wine Bars Near Me - Hammonton, New Jersey

Stopped into this place following a quick trip to the area. It's a cool little spot on the Main Street that has a great Italian menu. The quality is great for the price. The layout of the restaurant is cozy and classy. There's a fantastic large bar that is the focal point once your inside. The place was quite busy while we were there but the noise levels were more than reasonable. We could occasionally hear karaoke from a Christmas party in the back room which was somewhat humorous. The place has amazing staff members which capped the night. The ahi tuna could use a better dressing but that's my only feedback. Highly recommend!! Enjoy!! read more

Cheryl Y. Hammonton, NJ: I recently hosted a birthday celebration for a group of 25 family and friends at Annata Wine Bar, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the team at Annata made sure everything was perfect. The event was set up in the main dining room, with our guests spread across three tables, but the warm and inviting atmosphere made it feel like one big family gathering. Jackie, the manager, truly went above and beyond to make this evening special. She suggested a family-style dining experience, which was a great choice for our group. Jackie helped us navigate the menu and determine the right quantities to ensure everyone had plenty to sample. We were treated to an incredible array of dishes that pleased every palate--everything was served with care and attention to detail. For our vegetarian guests, the chef even made special dishes that weren't on the regular menu, which was a thoughtful touch that added to the experience. The food was outstanding. Every dish we sampled was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We had everything from appetizers to main courses, and the variety ensured that everyone found something they loved. The abundance of food left no one hungry, and the wine pairings that Jackie suggested were perfect--smooth, elegant, and the ideal complement to the meal. Annata's vibe is exactly what you want for a special occasion--relaxed yet refined. The ambiance was perfect for a large group, and despite the size of our party, we still felt like we were in an intimate setting. The team made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the evening with our loved ones. As a special touch, we brought in Ron, a jazz saxophone musician, to add some live music to the evening. Jackie was so accommodating, ensuring Ron had the right setup and that the music flowed seamlessly throughout the night. It really elevated the event and kept the energy lively. Our guests were constantly commenting on how much fun they were having. The service was exceptional throughout the night. The Annata staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone had what they needed. They checked in frequently, ensuring we were satisfied. My guests--many of whom were visiting Annata for the first time--are still raving about how much they enjoyed the evening. It's safe to say they'll be back! I'd like to extend a special thank you to Jackie and the entire Annata team for making this birthday celebration so memorable. Jackie also took the time to express her gratitude for our support of her business, which was so thoughtful and made us feel even more appreciated. This level of personal service, combined with the amazing food, wine, and atmosphere, is why I'll be coming back for future celebrations. read more

No stars (I added one because I had to to enter a review, but please know I give them none) but if I could there would be "minus" stars for this place. The first time we came we requested a table near the front when we made our reservations and when we arrived the hostess acted like we were crazy to think such a request could be made. We stuck it out and the service was marginally better, the food "ok" and we left ready to write Annatas off. But a few months later, because our favorite restaurant wasn't open (Rocco's Town House, never a bad experience on 20 years! Yes, twenty! Years!) we found ourselves giving Annatas a second chance. What a mistake! Apathetic service, mediocre food, but the worst came at the end. We didn't want desert, just wanted to finish up and go home, but our youngest son ( a little boy) had his heart set on desert so we asked him to choose something he could take home. He choose "an delicious assortment of luxurious Belgian truffles". He remembered the box I had given my wife and how much he enjoyed them , especially the little diagram inside the box identifying what each chocolate would be. He politely asked if he'd get that with his chocolates and the server said she would write one out for him. When he opened his little container at home there was no note, so he was disappointed , but that was only the beginning . You've probably seen those huge 10 pound for 5 dollar boxes of chocolate Walmart sells at valentines day. The candy, each piece the size of a dime, all tastes the same regardless of the name ascribed to it, and it's just, to be polite, inedible garbage. Well, that is exactly what we got for our 12 dollars or whatever it was we paid. Six pieces(4 of the exact same flavor plus two possible to identify others) of tiny bite size bits of the cheapest chocolates money can buy, and as a chocolate lover, I know what good stuff looks and tastes like. For myself I would be disappointed, but this was my little boy who was still at an age to be excited about such a thing as his desert. I called the restaurant to voice my displeasure. The hostess , who identified herself as one of the owners, told me my decision to never come back was "my prerogative"!!! Needless to say, we employed that prerogative and have never returned, and further, have told this story many many times over the last few years since it happened. I'm happy for the opportunity to tell it to a wider audience. read more

I really don't want to criticize this place too much because I love the food. However, I now understand a lot of the criticism that I've seen in other reviews and it mostly due to the staff and service. I made a reservation and on entering the place I found that they didn't have us on their list. They did end up seating us about 10 minutes later than our reservation time. I did receive a phone call the next day asking about the reservation, but it was obviously too late. The service was extremely slow and our friend that joined us had to rush out as we got our meal in order to see his daughter in the parade that we hoped to catch after dinner. We were seated at 6:10 and didnt' get our meal until 6:50. Yes, the food is good and we've had great experiences during a midday lunch, when it's not crowded. However, they really need to work on the service when there is a crowd. On another note, I still think the chairs are so uncomfortable. read more

Carol was as incredible as the food and atmosphere...Thank you for an incredible experience. Everyone was so amazing. We didn't have to ask for anything including water. A real Italian night ...as good as Florence...Thank you Clarice Maggio and friends read more

Nice location on Bellevue, and a very "boujee" setup inside. Kinda have a love/hate relationship with the chairs... super soft and unique, but a little difficult to maneuver, especially for my grandmother. Cheese board was very tasty and the bread might've been my favorite part! So soft and fresh. The bolognese didn't wow me, but it wasn't bad... wouldn't get it again. I'll be back for sure to give some other things a try. I recommend for intimate dinners or perhaps spending a few hours with the girls getting wine drunk! read more

Nice ambiance but slow as molasses service. Food was delicious. Waitress needs a directive on how to not take more tables than you can handle. Her timing was totally off. That's what happens when you don't pay attention. I don't need two salad forks. Please pickup the plates that are dead. Short and sweet. I do recommend this place because the food is great as well as the presentation. Maybe they are suffering from short of staff syndrome. The end read more

Friends invited us for dinner and had reservations for 7:45 and despite our table being cleared close to our reservation time, we waited almost 25 minutes for the table to be set for 4 diners. In the interim, we ordered drinks at the bar. My partner did not get a diet coke he ordered, they did not have any Aperol to make an Aperol Spritz (a classic ubiquitous Italian drink) so I ordered the sangria which was ok. The space is nice, looks nice, great high ceiling but it was also quite loud. Once seated, we ordered drinks and then appetizers of long hots and fried calamari, both were delicious and perfectly cooked. Two of us ordered the smaller portion of the entrée and both were very reasonable portions. I had the braciola with egg, my favorite and it was a classic preparation. The sauce was delicious and the braciola was tender. The pork tenderloin wrapped with pancetta in a demi-glace sauce was also very good but the accompanying fries were cold and soggy. The other diners' salad and crab cakes were also very good. They were out of the garlic whipped potatoes so we substituted with the whipped sweet potatoes with marscapone and white truffle - it was not too sweet, more on the savory side and very good. We ended with just coffee as they were out of the cannoli. One of my dining partners who grew up in the area said. "We're in the heart of Hammonton and 2 doors down from a place that sells only cannoli and they are out of cannoli?!" While our appetizers and entrées were good, it was a typical busy Saturday night and they seemed overwhelmed, had run out of several items on the menu which took away from the whole experience. Food was a solid 4, service was very spotty, uneven and so 2.5 for that - definitely room to improve. read more

First time here and won't be the last, perfect place to dine on a beautiful summer night. We sat out on the patio and had great service!

Great dessert selection, the chocolate lava cake was the perfect finish to a great meal. Will definitely come back soon! read more

We were looking for a location to host a small wedding reception, and Annata really came through. We had looked at a few places, but after stopping in for a wonderful lunch early in the year, we knew this was the place. We were right. From booking to finish, they were fantastic. Amanda helped us immensely by providing lots of sample menus and useful information as we planned our event. We got exactly what we were looking for and more, a no-fuss casual reception with amazing food in a comfortable setting. The cozy room in the back was perfect; we had 48 guests and plenty of room to mingle and enjoy ourselves. The staff was gracious and accomodating to our friends and family when we brought in our own centerpieces and decorations for our fall theme, which looked terrific with the rustic interior and dark, polished wood. The thing that really made the night was the food. Stellar! The tender, delicious flank steak on the carving station was a hit, as was the creamy risotto Milanese. The chicken parm was a plentiful portion that passed my old-school Italian father's taste test. Our guests raved, with many returning to the buffet line for more. The staff was pleasant and helpful throughout the event, and the manager sent us home with a bottle of champagne to toast our wedding night. We would certainly host an event there again, and will definitely be back for dinner in the meantime. read more

Used to be a pretty good restaurant. Service was very slow and we were told that "the kitchen was having an off night" (there was only three tables occupied). Menu has remained basically the same for years. They do run specials for something new to try. Food is good but not anything great. Ambiance is loud as it's one open space. Having a live performer playing while dinner service is going on makes it hard to hold a conversation across the very wide large table. Slightly over priced. read more
