Food is delicious. Service is always great. We weren't super hungry so we just got an antipasto board and a meatball. Drinks were delicious as well. read more

Jerry Longo's Meatballs & Martinis - Meatball and antipasto board - Italian Near Me - Dover, Delaware

Always a fog of meal with good service! Located inside Bally's casino so plenty of parking and never super busy. You can even get carry out here. Hostess was super efficient and friendly. We were seated immediately. Took a few minutes for a server to come. Once there, he was friendly and attentive. Been here numerous times. Ordered a dirty martini and a Sidecar. Both great. Ordered spaghetti and meatballs (2 of these), a caprese salad (highly recommended) and a side of a meatball. Meatballs are tasty. The tomato under the salad wasn't the best, but still terrific once threw that off. The bread is warm and butter is whipped!!! So good. No dessert. They do have great menu and a good selection of cocktails. Very nice vibe and great meal overall. read more

The food was very good. Christa was a great waitress attentive and professional. We are outside the restaurant but inside the casino. Prices were a bit high [$25 pp], but worth it. read more

Restaurant was empty for a Sunday night. We were seated in the patio area next to the slot machines with someone pounding on it. We asked to move to an inside table and were told only two waiters were working. I saw an empty table on the other side and asked onsit there but was told it was for a party of 5 so we couldn't sit there. We left. read more

Lasagna was fair. Did not seem to be something that a scratch kitchen would make. Little sauce and cheese filling. However, it was as topped with generous cheese and rich meat sauce. Overall decent flavors, and portion. Would go back to try other things on the menu. read more

We go to Jerry Longo's fairly often. We've never had bad service and the food is always great. My favorite is the Chicken Franchese. Great place to take friends. read more

Service was great. However portions have changed to much much smaller. $32 for chicken franchese and a tiny amount of watery risotto that was way too salty and inedible. Didn't felt like it met expectations for $32 read more

Waitress very outgoing and happy to serve our large table. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers and meals. Limoncello martini was yummy. Would go again! read more

Not sure why all of the negative reviews. We went here expecting mediocre and food it ended up actually being very good! The place has an Oldschool vibe playing music from the 50's. Our waiter was very attentive, personable, and helpful with answering questions. We had the House Sangria, Caesar Salad, Beet Salad, and split the Eggplant Parm. The house Sangria was served in a huge glass and was some of the best I've had. The salads were both good but beet salad shined! I enjoyed the creaminess of the ricotta with the beets and crunch of the walnuts. The eggplant parm came with spaghetti and both were very tasty! Would recommend this spot and make a reservation just in case! read more

I have been here many times and It's always been a pleasant experience with the staff and the food. I like how they have different areas to sit and it definitely gives you the Italian restaurant vibe. I appreciate this restaurant and will continue going back. read more

the meatballs were very good. the fried calamari was WAY TOO SALTY. The bolognese lacked the depth of flavor that true bolognese has. maybe it needed a touch of red wine in the preparation. Service was hampered because it appeared to lack the management to have secondary personnel help when servers were backed up. at one point there were three workers at the hostess while the servers were struggling and unable to keep up with water request or to even ask how the food and drink were. In a restaurant, there should never be three people idle when others are struggling to keep up. That is just poor management of resources. Our server was pleasant enough. And seemed to have way too many tables to with any degree of excellence. read more

Dry good food and the service was great the ambiance of the restaurant was very comfortable but remember your wallet very expensive read more

Located inside the Dover Downs casino, it is the best one that is currently open. Still I would say 3 out of 5 place. 1. Service - great. Bartender was nice, no nonsense. I liked her. 2. Food/drinks - edible, nothing special. Calamari - fine. that's it. Drinks - they do make mixed drinks. Not that good. It is not a fine mixed drink, let's just say that. 3. Music - however, I LOVED it. They have this old school 40s to 50s movies playing on TVs and they said they have pandora channel, but the music was delightful. I usually don't notice music background in places, but this was notable and I thoroughly enjoyed it despite it not being live music. read more

The seats we got put in were great, two of us for one big booth. (I think it has a little to do with it being less crowded and the fact that I reserved an hour and half ahead of time). They had classical music playing for a little while then a mix of country; and different movies on around different tvs... was a good vibe Some martinis intrigued me but I'm personally not much of that guy, however my girl friend loved her life is beautiful one! Good name too The chicken (or shrimp) I feel is necessary with the penne vodka. Little bland and basic The linguine with clams my girlfriend got was also tasty , nice subtle flavors of all the ingredients. Our waitress was nice but for us being one out of only two tables, she was quite slow read more

Not worth it anymore. Booked table reservation for 4PM when they opened. Hostess told my wife they only have tables outside the restaurant in the patio-like area. After seating us, looking in the restaurant, we could it was mainly empty. The waiter came by to get our drink order and drop off bread when the hostess suddenly showed up at the table asking if we would like to switch tables. At this point, we declined. Menu changed some since our last visit with the broccoli rabe based entree gone and all of the prices increased. We decided to try pizza. They arrived lukewarm, while completed cooked, the crust was thin, but not crunchy at all. Sausage used in the topping had no flavor and both pies were bland. The service was OK, but there was only a scattering of people in the restaurant. Basically, a disappointing meal all around. We dine there several times a year, but no longer after this experience. read more

Let me start out with the good the martinis were spectacular the their signature pizza with the meatball slices on it with some of the best I've ever had their meatballs taste more to me like gyros, but I love. I did not like the eggplant Parmesan. It literally had no flavor whatsoever. The spaghetti sauce had no seasoning very acidity one of the bland meals I've ever had. If you go get the pizza you won't be disappointed. read more

I was in the area for work and visited here with some others for dinner. I ordered the Caesar salad and thought it was good. I also ordered a glass of white wine which was also good but I can't remember the type of wine that I ordered. I tasted the rice ball which someone in my group ordered and I thought it was tasty. I had never had a rice ball before. The others in my group said that they enjoyed their food. There was a guy singing live music and that made the evening even more enjoyable. read more

The choices at Dover Downs are currently a bit limited. With covid I called from the car to make a reservation but couldn't get an answer. (I missed they had online reservations through open table. I didn't scroll down far enough). Because of reduced seating we almost didn't get a table. Our server was very friendly and very busy, but you wouldn't know it, she was attentive and we didn't want for anything. The food was all good quality, but for a meatball place, the meatball left a little to be desired, it didn't seem to have that much meat. (Longo Salad & Meatball) I was also surprised that the bread came with plain butter and not an oil type dip which I love. (The hubby prefers butter). The heirloom tomato, cucumber salad was heavy enough on oil, I dipped my bread there! I loved the Veal Marsala and the risotto was fantastic and a great complement. The chicken parmigiana was likewise well prepared and tasty. Overall a decent meal. read more

Absolutely AMAZING!! The flavors were wonderful and Vincenzo was wonderful! It was the perfect place to celebrate my son's 19th birthday! The antipasto board is to die for! The espresso martini was made with fresh espresso! The meatballs and ricotta cheese are so flavorful! read more

We recently made reservations for our first visit. We had an amazing dinner and the service/staff was outstanding. They made it such a special evening for us both. We were celebrating Valentines and Birthday wrapped in one. I wanted to try everything on the menu. We had several appetizers and the Antipasta. All were perfect. The wine selection was awesome with most of the wines from Italy. We cannot wait to go back again. read more

The atmosphere was great and the restaurant appeared clean. The server (Kenny) was friendly and efficient. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. I had a lemon drop martini and my husband, a Long Island. Our order came out in a timely fashion and the meals looked great. However, the texture of the Alfredo pasta was not appealing. It was too soft, thin and flavorless. The only thing with flavor were the four shrimp. My husband did enjoy his Orechiette. I ordered a slice of lemon crème cake as well. It was delicious! The best part of the meal. read more

We had a 7:30 reservation. We showed up at 7:20 and were greeting by the hostess. She was super friendly and seated us immediately. Our server, I think his name was Ken, greeted us shortly after we were seated. His service was impeccable throughout our meal. Over all the service was amazing I would give it a 10/10! We had the Ceasar Salad. I would rate it a 6/10. I thought it was very small for $10 and not a lot of flavor but it wasn't bad. My wife had the chicken parmigiano. It was good but not great. She liked the taste but the chicken was mushy. I would say a 7/10. I had the Bronx (pepperoni pizza). It was amazing. I would give it a 10/10. This is a huge improvement from Frankie's. We will be back read more

Lovely night turned sour. Food is average Italian but the expresso martini was just wrong. 5.3 beans on top and white as a cloud. Sad to see. Few years back it was my #1 spot but this plummeted their reputation for excellent cocktails. read more

I think this place is going to be good, but a week after opening, there are a lot of service issues. The food was great though, so I will focus on that first. My husband and I each had their signature meatball salad to start, and it was amazing. A small pile of chopped salad beside a good sized meatball and two dollops of whipped ricotta. The ricotta made it special - tart and creamy and a perfect bite combined with a forkfull of meatball. I'll get it again for sure. For our main, we split a North Shore pizza and an order of escarole and beans. The pizza selections are fun, and the North Shore was crispy and tasty, with mozzarella, rapini and sausage. It was supposed to have crushed red pepper but we couldn't taste any and there was none on the table to add. The escarole and beans was nicely seasoned but hard to eat and very hard to share because it was soupy and should have been served with a spoon. Which brings me to the service issues. I'll start by saying our server, Chris, was friendly and attentive but I think the staff must be inconsistently trained. Here are the isses we experienced. First, we were told there was a wait of 30 minutes and gave my cell number so that they could text when the table was ready. I got an immediate confirmation text saying we were in queue, but an hour later, still hadn't recieved a text that our table was ready. Finally we walked back over to check and the hostess never looked up at us, said she didn't text us, grabbed menus and took us to a table outside. No explanation, no eye contact, no I'm sorry I screwed up. Things got way better when Chris arrived. He was fun and quickly brought our bottle of Moscato, but had awful trouble opening it. Not his fault that he hadn't opened that kind of bottle before, but he should have had help or a different corkscrew. While we were waiting, a table was seated behind us, and I heard the server explain the special of the evening and give an overview of their signature dishes. Nice touch. They should all do that. Then there was the escarole and spoon issue. None of it was awful, just inconsistent and clunky. The manager stopped by and when I mentioned the texting snafu, promised to address it. Give it a few weeks and some continued training, and I think Longo's will be excellent. The food was so good, it's definitely worth another visit. read more

So. My wife and I came downstairs to dine as we were at the hotel for an extended weekend. As we dined. The wait staff catered to certain people (Caucasian). Our waiter was black. Very disappointed in him. Also my wife ordered a dirty gin martini and the olives were dry and old. The Mea was mediocre. Dessert was frozen cake that had not been thawed out and stale. And for the finale. As we watched the television we were inclined to have to watch a movie that continually showed women, men and children in BLACKFACE. During these times in 2020 the management should have really made a better choice in what was showing. We asked for the check immediately and left. Please do better Jerry Longo's. Do better!!!!! read more

I am a HUGE advocate for customer service and professionalism, and by far this establishment has been the worst that I've ever experienced! I was trying to plan a dinner for my son's birthday, which was very important to him. I've called the restaurant (3 times), I spoke with Barbara(the manager) and each time I called she stated that she would get back with me(which never happened). Each time I called she asked for my name and telephone number, meaning she had no intentions on returning any of my phone calls. She even asked me if I had made an attempt to make reservations at the Sugar Factory!! This carried on for two weeks, and I still have not heard from anyone. Very condescending and incompetent to say the least. I find it very disturbing that a manager would represent any company in this manner. This is beyond ridiculous. read more

Well the first time a jerry Longo's and the service was slow and the atmosphere looks like Frankie's. The bread they serve you is hard as a rock and they serve you olive oil with no balsamic vinegar. So make sure you ask for butter. The menu prices are way over priced. The food and desserts are good but you get what you pay for. read more

Atmosphere is nice and relaxing. However this does not excuse the heavy hand with the salt shaker. My appetizer was salty(shrimp Sinatra). My ceaseR salad was salty and my pizza was salty. Come on people I know your better than this read more

They have nice food and bomb drink menu. And they're open until about 1a some nights if you're out in the casino late.

I was lucky enough to spend my birthday at this amazing restaurant. It was so good I came back the following two nights as well, LOL. The meatball salad is fantastic, the consistency and taste of the meatball along side the ricotta whip is so yummy. I tried the potato and rosemary pizza, Many of the pasta dishes, tasted all my friends food, and everything was so good!! The chicken Parmesan was flawless, the sauce on top scrumptious. The 9th street martini made with Lemon water ice is unique and so tasty!! The ambiance is so lively & fun. I will definitely be back soon!! read more

Food was really good. Everyone at our table of four liked their dish. I had the sole francaise which was perfect. Service kinda slow on a not so busy Saturday. We'll be back o read more

Bring back Frankie's! Where are my garlic balls? Hard bread with just olive oil. Long-winded intro. The fettuccine Alfredo use to be delicious and now it's tasteless....needed salt just to be able to eat it...which I didn't eat much. And where's the freshly grated Parmesan....oh wait they replaced it with a jar of Kraft parmesan cheese....yuck! The Penne Vodka was also subpar....my husband said it taste like spaghettio's. Slow service. So very disappointed as Frankie's was one of our very favorite restaurants. read more

Went there when it first opened and the waiter who was was Philly was excellent, very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. Even the Manager came around and talk with us and wanted to make sure the dining was memorable. Went there tonight, about two months later, and it was awful. When we arrived the waiter was personable for about 5 minutes . We ordered several things off the menu and one of them was a pizza that we didnt want broccoli rabe on. No, they cant change an order to omit something. They can only change an order to add something. Huh? We ordered some appetizers and a pizza and didnt see the waiter again until he dumped the cold pizza at the table. Next time I saw him I told him the pizza was cold and he didnt say anything. Just walked away. We ordered spaghetti and meatballs and the first time we went the meatball was wonderful. This time the spaghetti was luke warm, didnt have enough sauce and the meatballs, their signature item, were dried out. We had to ask for more drinks since the waiter never came back unless we flagged him down, never brought ice for my ice tea, put no bread on the table, added $1.50 to a $10 martini charge for Absolut when we never requested it. I have a business card from the Manager who gave it to me at the the first visit and I was going to email him my experience. No email address so I'm not even going to try to contact him. Left a 15% tip which was 14% to much. I'm down at the casino alot and get host comps so I dont have to pay but I wont be going back. Horrible dining experience. read more

Could not think of a more subpar Italian restaurant. Should have known when we left a 1000 plus show and no one was in the restaurant. Inedible calamari. Bread without oil or butter. Meals were disgusting. Barely ate them. Avoid. read more

Great service! Amazing food & great drinks! Staff notified us immediately when our table was ready. Definitely try the oceans 11!!
