    Great people, atmosphere and the food is always good. The pasta dishes are homemade, becoming a favorite of ours when down the shore.

    Kids spaghetti and meatballs

    The servers and hostess were great. Very sweet. It has a nice, high end atmosphere. The Alfredo sauce was very bland. The lobster ravioli was just okay. The spaghetti and meatballs looked good.

    5 stars all day. The food was absolutely amazing--every bite was on point. Our server Leslie was incredible and made the whole experience even better. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Can't wait to come back!

    Osso Bucco

    My husband and I have been going to Cordivari's for many years, and needless to say, we absolutely love it. But I'll admit--I especially love it when Jimmy makes his Osso Bucco. Tonight was one of those nights! As soon as I walked in, Toni greeted me right away with a smile and a playful, "Guess what the special is tonight?" That moment alone made my day. And the Osso Bucco? Perfection. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich, and flavorful in every bite--the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-conversation just to savor it. The sauce was beautifully balanced, the meat cooked to absolute perfection, and the whole presentation felt like a special treat. It reminded me exactly why Cordivari's has become such a staple for us over the years--not just the consistently amazing food, but the warm, welcoming people who make every visit feel like home. This is why we keep coming back.

    Just had a great dinner at an Italian restaurant we found while down at Triple Play real estate convention. The food was great at Cordivari's in Brigantine and better than the food was our server, Nick. He was very attentive and made great suggestions for our dinner choices.

    Cozy restaurant outskirts of Atlantic City. Came here with 6 ppl for a celebratory event. Very friendly staff. Waitress and hostess (owner?) were welcoming. We had the Lobster Venetian, Flounder, spaghetti & meatballs, filet Mignon, seafood pasta, calamari, scallops and a side of broccoli rabe. House salad was superb. Very well seasoned and comes with each entree. Calamari is a popular dish amongst the kids. The scallops came in 4 but were tiny and made sharing for a table of 6 hard. Each had half of a small scallop. Main courses were good. Some hits and some misses. The flounder and seafood pasta were delicious. The house made pasta had a harder texture which was nice. The filet was over cooked. Ordered a medium, came almost well done. Meatballs were delicious. Very well seasoned. The lobster was tasty but portion was small for the price. All in all, nice experience. Recommend for the ambience.

    It's rare when you can find a restaurant that hits all the marks, especially in such a low key manner (Michelin Stars not required). The place has a human scale - tables are not jammed together, you can actually hear what the person across the table is saying, and the hostess some how seems to know most quests. The place has mastered what I call the tree "P's" -- Product, Price, and Personality. PRODUCT: The menu features many truly Italian dishes, featuring to a great extent home made pasta with authentic Italian "gravy" (marinara sauce with body); several fresh seafood entrees; creative salads; a variety of veal, chicken and beef dishes; and of course a wealth of fabulous deserts (including Toni's special home made biscotti), Oh yes, they also deliver some delicious warm and slightly crunchy bread to your table (without asking!). I really enjoyed the Caprese Tower and the Ravioli with Ricotta. I also loved the Biscotti and shared several deserts. PRICE What sets Cordivari's apart from most other fine dining establishments is that they haven't used events of our recent past to jack up their prices. Being a BYOB place helps as well. PERSONALITY And finally there's the friendship factor. You are not treated as anonymous guests. As you enter, you receive a warm welcome from all. You become part of the extended Cordivari family. I know this because even though I haven't seen Toni for many years, she welcomed me with open arms and even spent some time with our group at our table. She is a sincere and truly amazing personality. So what more is there to say -- If you are looking for great Italian food, at a reasonable price, served by an efficient and friendly staff, there's no place like Cordivari's!

    This might be my new favorite restaurant in Atlantic City!…read more Me and my husband made a last minute trip to AC for my birthday and I couldn't get a reservation in time for my favorite restaurant. I found this place and tried to make a reservation. It did take awhile to get through, I think they answered when I called like 10 or 11:00 on a Monday morning. I was happy I got a decent time though, I asked for 7:30 and they gave me 8:00. Once we got to AC I found out they had fireworks at 9:00. So I was like I don't know what to do. Cause I love fireworks I always try to see them when I can . But I didn't want to give up my reservation either , I was looking forward to it. So I tried calling every 5 minutes trying to get through to see if i could get an earlier reservation, even if we have to eat at like 4:30. I couldn't ready anyone though. So we were plotting what we were going to do, maybe tell them we wanted to eat fast, get our food to go? I was going to run out the back and try to catch them. I said let's just go to the restaurant earlier and try to get a table. We explained when we got there and they were packed , but they were very accommodating and gave us a table right by the window. I was happy that now we could relax and enjoy our meal and get drinks and an appetizer. We got the meatball appetizer because my husband always likes to get that. It was very good , prob one of the best meatballs I have ever had. I got the seafood pasta which was delicious. great flavor , the seafood was cooked perfectly, and a generous amount too. I was stuffed but ate everything. my husband got the veal rollatini which he really enjoyed also. The cocktails were great as well. We got dessert Togo because we were stuffed but really wanted it. The chocolate chip cheesecake was delicious. I think we got the tiramisu too which was ok but a little watery. I don't know if we'll be back in AC anytime soon, but if we do I would definitely want to come back!

    This was absolutely incredible, from the atmosphere to the food everything was just perfect…read more We started with the salad which was very good, good dressing and the croutons are the same bread as you get on the table when you sit down which is really good. The Chicken parm on steroids is what they called it and let me tell you it was amazing. I absolutely loved the potato's on top and the sauce was outstanding. You get 2 nice sized pieces of chicken definitely fills you up. The bolognese sauce was incredible. Lots of meat and lots of pasta. Very garlicky which I love. Got it with angel hair pasta which was a great choice as well. The cappuccino and biscotti was amazing as well. Everything just tasted so fresh. Service was awesome, they were on point. Food came out fast and again tested great. It's a BYOB so dont forget to bring a bottle of wine. It's hard to get a reservation so if you're lucky to get one you will enjoy it.

No walk ins, BYOB, reservations only, and is in a house. The upstairs is the main house and the basement is the speakeasy part. I for sure would like to come back and try to get the basement. They also have the porch closed in enough to sit outside and they have heaters. They are knows for their ricotta cheesecake served warm but I thought it was just on. It was good but I like a cold cheesecake so I wouldn't get it warm.
