Everyone we met was really nice, all seemed to have an Italian accent (completely understandable!)... great paintings adorn the wall. Love the way they laid the thin bricks on the wall for decor, too. Bathrooms were clean and functional. The free bread wasn't great but we were glad to have it. Everything else was spectacular. I had an arugula salad that had a really nice oil-lemon dressing. I do wish the menu mentioned the cucumbers.... hate them and had to remove them. My daughter split the Rissotto with my wife. I finished it off. That tasted so awesome. I'm wondering if they used MSG. I also had Eggplant Rolatini, and almost ordered a sediment one (but I ain't no millionaire). They never rushed us out though we were clearly there till closing time. Would definitely return.

Our waiter was very nice, but wasn't the best that getting the order Accurate. My wife ordered a Caesar salad instead of the salad that came with the entrée, and there seemed to be a slight misunderstanding as we were charged the full price of the Caesar salad, which was $17. On a positive note, I ordered the Pescador, which was delicious. It was the first time I ordered something new in years and I'm glad I did. We might deviate from our typical plan and go somewhere else next year.

Walked into this Mediterranean restaurant and immediately thought, "Ah yes... the Mediterranean…read moreSea... also known as Italy." The menu was giving pasta, parmesan, and maybe a distant cousin of the actual Mediterranean. First things first: the bread. Soft. Warm. Fluffy. Honestly the kind of bread that makes you consider abandoning your life responsibilities and just living in a basket. And the butter? Elite. I was two bites away from writing it a love letter. The real MVP? Penne vodka. Get it. Trust me. It's the Beyoncé of the menu. Now, the truffle beef chops... listen. If the truffle was there, it was hiding, wearing camouflage, whispering from another room. Didn't taste it at all. The chicken parm was fine--like the guy in the friend group who's not the funniest or cutest but he's always there and you appreciate him. The place itself? Adorable. Cute colors, great vibes, and lighting that makes you feel like your selfies will come out 20% hotter. I didn't get dessert because I was one forkful away from imploding, but I fully believe it would've been good. The vibes said "trust us." Overall: not the Mediterranean getaway I expected, but still a delicious little identity crisis. And honestly, I'd return just for the bread

We celebrated my birthday at Alfe's, and it was the perfect festive environment!…read more They don't take reservations, so it's best to pop in and put your name on the wait list (or sit by the bar and hope something becomes available). There are several rooms to this restaurant, and it is actually located underneath a bowling alley. Talk about a hidden gem, literally! We enjoyed the live entertainment. The performer was fantastic! There was a small dance floor in front of him, and rumor has it the patrons often jump up and cut the rug. I even got a birthday serenade, table-side. So cool! If a menu offers Pasta and Crab, then you can bet your hiney I am ordering it. This place DID IT UP. Huge chunks of real crab. More crab than any other restaurant in South Jersey (really, more than any other restaurant in the entire state of New Jersey...I order this dish everywhere). The red gravy was balanced (more tart than sweet, which is what I prefer). The house salad that arrived ahead of the entrees was delicious. Creamy yet light dressing, if that even makes sense. Our party of 7 raved about everything we ordered. The garlic bread was even insanely delicious. There are so many restaurants in the area, but THIS is one we will return to time and time again. We were in the area one week later and ordered some pasta and crab to-go. It traveled back to Voorhees beautifully. Thanks for making my celebration so special, Alfe's!

I had the grill grouper one of 5 fishes of the day (on a Tuesday..not a good sign) fish had zero flavor and tasted like it was purchased on Friday. Guess the chef was trying to get one more day- server sounded surprised and said all of our fish comes in fresh everyday...(she did remove from the check) Anyway got a side order of cheese ravioli not hot and the sauce did have a slightly burnt taste as well. Sure wildwood in the summer- dining can be a crap shoot- guess I should have tried roulette...

Yet another birthday celebration! All these "summer babies!"…read more What a wonderful spot our friends recommended and met us at! I loved the red décor and photos all around of Joey P. and customers / celebrities that have dined there. Our friends valeted but we parked a street up. The pay by app made it very easy and I actually already had it downloaded. Since tomorrow will be my splurge day, tonight was just a Caesar salad with added shrimp. THIS SALAD WAS HUGE and had a plentiful amount of shrimp in it for sure! I ate almost the whole thing! It, along with the pastina soup, was well enough for me! All others had pasta and / or chicken dishes; huge portions! Everyone loved what they ordered : ) We were literally entertained the whole time by a really good duo - JUST IN TIME ~ a married couple named Joanne and Stu. They played music genres ranging from 50s - on. Joanne even sang Karen Carpenter, who is hard to sing. She did her proud! Great entertainment that even welcomed diners to come up and belt out a few! Many were dancing / line dancing! So fun! Our server, Trisha, was peppy and attentive. She handled a very crowded restaurant beautifully. We weren't rushed at all - our evening was an experience more than just a meal. Im stupefied at the under four star reviews - truly.

Been meaning to post this review from December 2025. We've been coming to Joey M's La Piazza Cucina…read moreevery summer since 2023, and it's become a must do Wildwood tradition for us. We've also followed Joey for years, all the way back to his legendary infomercials. This was our first visit during the holiday season, and somehow it was just as great as summer, just in a different way... more intimate, more local, and still packed with energy. The food never misses. I had the Chicken Parm Fra Diavolo, and it was hands-down the best and spiciest version I've ever had. This thing is spicy! Equally a draw is the entertainment. Watching Joey take the stage with Tommy Cono (Tommy C) is what sets this place apart. Tommy is incredibly talented with the classics from the 50s, 60s, and beyond, and when Joey jumps in with Tommy, the whole room comes alive. It stops being a restaurant and turns into a full experience. Awesome food, live entertainment, and that true local feeling - this Joey M's feels like one big Italian family party in all the best ways. We'll keep coming back - summer, holidays, and everything in between.

We came here for Restaurant Week and loved our dinner. First impression was great, I loved all the…read morepatriotic decorations, this looked like a fun place that I would want to spend time in! There was also live music that day which made it even more of a blast. I'm not really a bar guy but the one here looks like a nice place to chill and watch a game. But enough about the looks, let's talk about the food. For our prix fixe meals, we got: friend mozzarella triangles, clams, steak in Marsala sauce, gnocchi with crab, bread pudding, and chocolate mousse. We loved everything that was served to us. Our favorites being the two entrees. The steak was cooked perfectly, it was very tender and I loved the Marsala sauce with the mushrooms. The gnocchi had a very nice creamy sauce. My only nitpicks for our experience are two very minor things. I know it's restaurant week but give us a 3rd mozzarella triangle. The timing of the meal was a bit off. There was also a very long wait in between each dish, with the whole dinner taking about 2 hours. That might not be a deal breaker for those who like slower paced meals. Especially if there's good live music playing like there was during our visit. Aside from that, everything else was great. I will definitely come back again for dinner. I'm dying to know how they'll decorate for Christmas too.

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. The atmosphere and waitstaff were still excellent and were easily the highlights of the evening, but the food was extremely disappointing. Two of us ordered lobster tail with our entrées, and both were severely overcooked to the point of having a paste-like texture and being inedible. The accompanying white sauce was bland and flavorless. A steak ordered medium-well arrived rare. Given how exceptional our first experience was, we were surprised by the dramatic difference in the quality and preparation of the food. We had expected another wonderful meal and instead left very disappointed. Regrettably, based on this experience, we will not be returning.
