    Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
    Abigail g.

    Another great pizza! Delivery was quick and everyone was super friendly. This quality is what I expect when I order a jersey shore pizza.

    Shrimp fra diavolo

    Updating my review as the quality has improved and if you order before 3:00 it's the best bargain for miles around. We ordered 5 meals and an appetizer for $43 and 7 people couldn't even finish half of it! So in a pinch with most business closed on the island we decided to order delivery from here and based on the reviews we expected some good Italian food. However, was not what we expected. Pasta was severely overcooked and all the dishes were swimming in oil. The eggplant parm was mushy and falling apart, the Alfredo didn't have much flavor and was soaked in oil. The shrimp fra diavolo was also swimming in oil but had a nice spicy flavor and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The garlic knots were excellent. Overall if the pasta hadn't been so overcooked and the food wasn't saturated in oil I would give them 3 stars. The portion sizes were also generous. However, I doubt we will order from here again.

    This is a great little spot run by a nice family! The menu online was different price wise compared to when I picked it up. But a few dollars was worth it for how delicious everything was! The tortellini was rich and creamy. It came with a house salad and homemade Italian dressing and the most amazing garlic knots!

    I have ordered from here multiple times over the years. Never disappoints. Always give you enough food for 2 to 3 meals. But it's not just the quantity it tastes amazing. 2 entrees that come with salads and garlic knots and an order of rice balls (4) for $52 delivered. It's surprising when most places are gouging the consumer at this time. Look forward to many more orders.

    Was also a part of the 50 person family reunion. Not only did they accommodate on such short notice, but the food was absolutely delicious! They also delivered, which was so convenient. Thanks so much Italian Kitchen for making our family reunion perfect!

    Where do I start??? I rely on my fellow Yelpers and you did not lead me astray! I wanted a lunch because we will be going on a boat cruise later. I was in search of Italian. I read the stellar reviews and gave this place a try and boy was I thrilled I did! I'm a Yelper who loves a great value and delicious food. I ordered the meat lasagna special at the counter and the lady rang us up and also brought our food to us. They have about 10 or more tables but no waitress service. Works for me. Lasagna with meat sauce was . . . TO. DIE. FOR. Keep in mind I seldom order Italian food because it's usually pretty ordinary. The deep red sauce was quite buxom and hearty. Totally had to be homemade. There were chunks of delicious tomato and cheese in the sauce. Our lasagna was hot from the oven served in a round tin on a lovely generous bed of sauce. So flavorful. Better than my own homemade and that's saying something! Along with the lasagna was served a garlic roll. It was served in a small paper foil packet double wrapped. . . No no this isn't any garlic roll, it's sliced up bread, thick and bathed in a sea of butter, garlic, parsley and cheese! Hot damn!! I was speechless!! I asked for a spoon to be able to scoop up the sauce. Guess what?! I didn't need it. I used the nuggets of garlic bread as an edible spoon. Our meals were only 5.95 at lunch. It's a special from 11-3. At the seashore?! That's beyond reasonable. The owners are very friendly as well. As far as ambiance the place is old, but it has character and if you're there for the food- it's BANGIN!!! We couldn't resist the creative cannoli flavors. I got the "classic" and momma bear got the cookies n cream. We split them and they were incredible! I'm starting to change my mind about Wildwood too! That's a good thing!

    Chicken fettuccine Alfredo lunch special
    Jenn C.

    If you're looking for huge lunch portions at affordable prices, go here! They have delicious pasta options for their $6.49 lunch special and it's served with their homemade garlic rolls (which are delicious!!!) The portions are so large, I've eaten half for lunch and saved half for dinner... I've also split one with my child. Even my son, who eats a lot, could not finish the Crab Marinara over linguine. They offer delivery, but I have only ever done the take-out/pick up option. My food has never taken more than 15 minutes, even in the Summer! Updated: we are still going here years later! Lunch special is now $7 (after tax) but honestly so much food it will last you two meals or feed two people!

    WOW- Tonight we ordered Italian Kitchen Express around 8:30pm. We are so impressed all around! The counter staff assisting were so friendly and helpful! The food itself has blown us away! Very flavorful! The quality, price, & quantity was a great surprise too. We are first time customers and will definitely be back! Thank you for giving us a great dinner while on vacation!! 10/10 (Not pictured is eggplant parm which was also amazing)

    my friends and I purchased food at this restaurant earlier today, we ordered the mozzarella stick, fettuccine shrimp Alfredo, and penne sausage Alfredo. it was absolutely amazing!

    Alfredo
    Mike G.

    I was looking forward to having a nice Italian meal ordered the Alfredo with broccoli will never go back again food was bland, garlic knots had no garlic on them. Probably a big mistake on passing up ravioli house

    Pepperoni pie
    Lisa G.

    I was so excited to try the food here based on the reviews I read. We come down from north Jersey every Memorial Day weekend and usually need one night of quick meals. We ordered two pies (one pepperoni and one 1/2 bacon). We also got wings. Delivery was timely and driver was friendly. The wings were pretty good. The pizza was disgusting. It was heavy, soggy pizza made with terrible quality cheese. Pizza cheese should have some consistency, chewiness and flavor to it. This cheese was smooth, gooey and bland. Of the 5 of us in my family, there wasn't one of us that liked it. Based on the reviews and the wings, it's likely we'll try them again another time for other meals, but definitely not for the pizza.

    Another great dinner here outside! We brought our dog and they were beyond accommodating…read more We started out with the lasagna mozzarella bites, which were crunchy delicious with a fabulous marinara. For entrées, we got a meatball wedge and the Bronzino entrée. The fish was outstanding! The meatballs were also just as delicious. Our waitress was a dream and took lots of pictures of us with our dog! All in all a fabulous experience with delicious food.

    We made a reservation for group of 18 on a Friday evening. The restaurant had a small parking lot…read moreof its own, slim chance of getting a spot. As I walked in I noticed they did an amazing job of putting bunch of table together, making a giant row for all of our party to sit together. Inside of the restaurant seemed nice. Their menu had a wide range of Italian dishes including small plates, salads, sandwiches, pizzas and entrees from land and sea. From plates I got to try the zucchini fritters and polpo affogato (grilled octopus), both were excellent. Among pizzas, I tried the four cheese, the fig, the truffle and the Margherita. All their pizzas were so good, loved the toppings and the crust. Among the entrees, Bronzino oreganato, linguini and clams, chicken parmesan pasta were also really top notch. Despite the restaurant being house full, the staff members did an excellent job of keeping up with the tables. Our server was a pro, handled all different orders and requests of 18 people efficiently. The kitchen also kept up with all the dishes, though it took them some extra time but all the pizzas and dishes were cooked perfectly. There was a 3% fee for using credit card. But overall everyone in our group had a wonderful dinner experience.

    Never again! I…read moreshould have been tipped off to what fortune awaited us when there was not one other customer in the place at twelve noon, on a Saturday, in the summer. Ordered a dozen garlic Parmesan wings, two personal "pizzas", one regular & the other white. Let's start with the wings. Absolutely no flavor, which will be a recurring theme. All they did was sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the wings. To be fair, they were crispy, but again, the breading tasted like cooking oil. Drowning the wing in ranch dressing was the only way to make it palatable. Twenty five minutes later the "pizzas" arrived. The white pie was barely edible. Literally just burnt mozzarella cheese on a thin, hard, favor-less crust. Maybe the garlic & spice delivery truck didn't come this week? Their regular pie definitely was an improvement over the white, but nothing to write home about. No joke, you can make a better tasting pizza at home using only three items from Costco...stone flat bread, mozzarella cheese, & Mama Rao's sauce. I will acknowledge that the place was clean & the young lady working the counter was attentive. They also do have free refills on fountain drinks, so there's that. Overall, the fact that this place is a franchise boggles my mind. Like, how to did someone get hoodwinked into thinking this was a wise long term investment opportunity? I wish this place luck, but let's be honest, it won't be here the next time I am in Wildwood.

    Ordered through GrubHub as they were listed as the fastest for delivery on a Friday night. A Friday…read morenight at the beach. Well....after placing the order the estimated time was an hour. Not sure who provided the wildly inaccurate ETA. We ordered 2 classic burgers and fries and a cheese dipping sauce. The burgers were some of the best we've had. Perfectly cooked without dripping grease and great seedless buns. The toppings were accurate and plentiful. The fries were crispy and perfect to dip in the cheese sauce. Besides the delivery delay, we were happy with the quality, flavor and portion size of our meals. Packaging was good and the restaurant's delivery driver was super nice. Definitely would order again for pick up or just dine in.
