Shrimp fra diavolo
Glenn S.

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.

Tortellini la Carlo

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!

Chicken Parm sub Fra Diavolo Sauce

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!

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!

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)

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.

Needed to find an establishment last minute to cater a family reunion dinner for 50 people. Michael and his son Michael were eager to please and helped us decide what we needed. They didn't try and oversell us and in fact, threw in many extras without charge. Food was delivered hot and on time. Everyone RAVED about the dishes and we are happy to continue this tradition with them annually! Thank you so much!

We ended up at MudHen because the restaurant we were trying to get into was closed for the season…read morebut never put it on their website and what a blessing that was! We sat upstairs and the whole feel of the place was just welcoming and hospitable- felt like a community gathering spot. Danielle was our server and she was knowledgeable, made great recommendations, was fast and just overall amazing. Btw- she was 100% spot on about the banana pudding martini- absolutely delish! The chicken pesto panini was fabulous. The Cuban sandwich was good, but the ribs and hen chips were only average. Nonetheless, the warm toffee cake was phenomenal for dessert!

Waitresses were very nice and attentive. They did explain they have two kitchens, so food comes out as it is ready, not all at once. Which is fine. Appetizer was pork belly ! They was do good and the sauce was yummy ! My daughter had a hot dog and fries Husband had the red snapper and rice. The sauce was a curry , he said it was good. He also had a IPA and a Long Island iced Tea I had the mahi mahi tacos. Big pieces of fish, pickled onions and salsa verde sauce but it was bland. It would be better if it was mango salsa on top. We would come here again.

I have never been disappointed in anything I've ever ordered from here. This is a great place to get lunch, especially because their lunch specials are a very good value. The service here is incredibly quick, I've always been able to eat here and get back to work within an hour. I have to really give them props for their salads. For some reason, it is very hard to find a good salad in this area and theirs are delicious. The pizzas are a good size too, even the personal sized ones. Poppi's is a great lunch ant dinner spot and I would highly recommend it.

However, it was not much better inside. It was quite warm. They started us with some bread and garlic infused oil. The bread was soft and the oil was very good and flavorful. We ordered the 'Bruschetta' which was VERY definitely my highlight. I wish it had more cheese on it, but the tomatoes were super fresh and the balsamic was delicious. For our entrees, my husband got the 'Diavolo' pizza which was homemade tomato sauce, hot soppressata, homemade mozzarella, chopped garlic, oregano & parmesan cheese. He loved it. He said the bread was soft and it was super cheesy. I did not try it, nor did I order pizza because I just had some a few days ago. I ordered the 'Three Mushroom Pasta' which was shiitaki, cremini & portobello mushrooms sautéed with garlic butter & marsala wine sauce topped with parmesan cheese served over pappardelle pasta. The mushrooms were delicious. However, the pasta itself was rather bland. I will say the portion was BIG and I definitely had left overs. The staff was quick and friendly. I probably would not come back again but it was nice to try, and I'm sure the pizza was better than boardwalk pizza. I would give this a 3.5, but since I can't do halfs.. 3 it is.
