    Cavatappi with sausage
    Amanda C.

    Panico's has been one of our staples when we go down the shore! They have a pretty decent sized parking lot in the back of the restaurant which made it easy! I did make a reservation for 7:15, however we did not get seated until 7:30. There are some stairs you have to walk up to enter the restaurant. There were five of us in our group and we all decided to order something different. Of course we were very excited for the delicious and warm bread they serve before the meal! I ordered the linguini with clams which was amazing. They put so many clams and a lot of crab meat in the linguini, and that's exactly how I like it. The other people in my group ordered the cavatappi with sausage, pasta with shrimp and crab, the burrata pizza, and the chicken parm. Everyone absolutely loved their dishes. The red sauce on all the dishes was very tasty. The dishes are also very big, so make sure you come hungry! We also got the Oreo cake and tiramisu for dessert. The Oreo cake was moist and the perfect size. The tiramisu was also very tasty, with a bit of a unique twist on the classic dessert. Our waitress was very kind, although we did have to remind her at some points to bring something we had asked for! I would definitely recommend this spot for a nice Italian meal!

    Pork Shank Osso Bucco

    Service 5/5 stars we had Jeanette and Maureen Octopus- Rating 5/5 chargrilled then sautéed, simple olive oil, parsley, lemon Pork Shank Osso Bucco - Rating 5/5 oven roasted, marinara, rosemary, carrots, celery, tomato, parpadelle. Not a big pork eater saw that many reviews recommended this dish. It was one of the best dishes I have ever had. It was out of this world. Salad - Rating 3/5 It was missing something. Desserts - I'm not big on desserts but I came for my Moms birthday it was very good. I feel like I can't properly rate. My Mom loved them.

    The atmosphere was nice! It was our first time there! I didn't like how it was BYOB. There was no option to buy any cocktails since many places in Jersey don't have liquor licenses and are BYOB. The server forgot to put in our order and didn't realize she missed one entree until all the food was served. We had to wait additional time for our last entree to come out. My pasta was okay. If I go back, I wouldn't order it again. I should have ordered it without the peas. I was not a fan of it . The brick oven pizza was delicious despite having to wait extra time to receive it. The calamari was delicious and a great appetizer! Definitely would order that again!

    5/5 all around. I went with my parents for the first time and we were delighted with the food, our friendly and attentive server, and the warm ambiance. We started out with fresh, warm bread with olive oil and herbal mix. For our appetizer we ordered the caesar salad which came out almost right away despite it being crowded for a Monday night. I had the ravioli with the sauce of the day which was hot and honey marinara, and I would say it was best marinara I've ever had. My mom had the rigatoni alla vodka and my dad had the crab and shrimp. Both were very happy with the their meals and we all agreed to make a trip back here.

    "Old school Italian ready for you to mangia" I had been meaning to go here for years and finally got a reservation on a Sunday night. And now I know why it is popular . What's to cheer - Wide ranging menu - Good pizza which is difficult in South Jersey surprisingly - Very tasty and fresh pastas - Friendly and personable service with a personality ! - Large, open and well decorated dining space - reasonable prices What's to jeer - I've had better octopus This is a great Italian option in Cape May!

    We stopped at Tony's prior to our excursion with the Cape May Whale Watching trip. Don't expect…read moremuch choice for kids unless they want pizza. Our 5 year old daughter wanted pasta (the pasta was going to take 25 minutes). They don't have many kids drinks like chocolate milk, or apple juice. The server was helpful, but not very friendly. Also be aware that the traffic over the bridge is typically backed up and he might need some more time to get to this place (not that I am recommending going out of your way to come here). The food wasgood . I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and it was made just like I asked. The lettuce and onion were fresh. The french fries were a little overcooked but crisp. My wife ordered pizza and the slices were huge! Very cheesy and well cooked. Tony's is ok if you're looking for something quick and basic.

    I had a very large order . This they did deliver for a very short distance. However because my…read moreorder was so large did ask if they had a special or discount for a large order. There reply was we get large orders all the time. We don't give anyone a discount. So the way they stated things I felt was a like my business was not that important. Flavor of our order was disappointing. The pizzas definitely lack flavor. Very disappointing. The subs lacked flavor and value. ( steak subs) now for delivery it was hot and on time. For value and flavor I do not recommend this place at all. I'm going to try my luck at a different place. May I get better taste and more professional answers. I still have large orders coming in the future.

Try the eggplant parm its a great meal. All ingredients are freshly made to order. The place will undergo a change soon im told by who cares as long as the food is made fresh to order. 5 stars on quantity and service they are open till 2am all year round. First place on the island to introduce gluten free pizza. Come get the best pizza and food at BLUE MOON PIZZA

    Date of Visit: August 1, 2025…read more This was my first stop when I got to Cape May and I wasn't disappointed. And I have to agree with Eddie 9, I checked the reviews and the ones that gave it a bad review must have got on YELP! just for that reason, they only have one review to their name. So sad. While taking a walk-a-bout I came upon this place and it is just across from the beach, great location. I did walk by first then stopped and looked in the window and saw their pizza by the slice selection. Had to go in. As I entered I could tell this was a top notch place. I checked out the line-up and decided on a square slice, don't see that too often in Florida. I got one with pepperoni and because of the size I only had one, perfect. With the thin slices I usually get two. One was enough. This must be the local favorite pizza joint cause after I ordered, it started to fill up. After receiving my slice, nice and hot, I could tell they use quality cheese and sauce. All melted nicely. Oh, after the first bite I was right. And as far as the price, no different than any other place. Next time I come thru this way I will make it a point to stop in again. Peace.
