This place was so good that we decided to visit a second time just a week after our very first…read morevisit! The decor inside has a lot of personality, it's like an Italian market and has nice music playing throughout the entire restaurant. We ordered the Clams Casino for appetizer and it was so delicious. It was crispy and savory; the perfect way to start the meal. I think it was my favorite dish we had. We also really liked the anchovies with the garlic sauce. Both had a strong flavor that really went well together. Our next visit, we came during the early bird special which is a great value by the way. Our server explained what comes in the early bird along with their other specials which was the Prime Rib that night (we didn't get that, but I saw it at another table, it looked mouthwatering good!). Two dishes stood out to me on our second visit: the Chicken Marsala and the Cannoli. The chicken marsala came in a very good portion, the chicken was cooked perfectly (soft and tender) with a very savory sauce. The cannoli which was complimentary with the early bird is shockingly one of the better cannolis I have had. Pretty much everything we got from Little Italy tasted great. The only dud for me is their salad. I'm personally not a fan of the complimentary salad unfortunately. I think the dressing is a little too strong but I seem to be in the minority reading the other reviews. Other than that, everything else is amazing. Even their complimentary bread/butter is good.

Went for an early bird dinner, early birds are $20.00. Not bad including a cannoli. We got the…read morechicken Marsala and hubby got the sweetheart deal. Both very good. My sister got the stuffed shells (3) she said were very good.

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

Our appetisers were grilled Octopus, shrimp and Spanakopita. The lemon sauce on the grilled Octopus was so good that everyone was dipping bread. The bread was also great.

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.

I recently tried the penne alla vodka at Joey M's La Piazza Cucina, and it was a pleasant surprise…read more The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, and the sauce had a creamy, balanced flavor with just the right touch of vodka and a hint of sweetness from the tomatoes. It wasn't overly heavy, which made it easy to enjoy without feeling weighed down. The portion size was generous, and the dish came out hot--always a good sign in a busy Italian spot. The vodka sauce clung nicely to the penne, giving each bite a rich, savory taste. I appreciated that it didn't taste like a jarred sauce; it had that homemade feel Joey M's is known for. The chicken cutlet wasn't greasy. It was very tender and seasoned well. The decor is dated but you'll look past that once you taste the food!

The bacon wrapped scallops were good, but the portion was small for the cost. The clams casino was made from littleneck steamers.

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.

I came here with my husband today after a day at the boardwalk. I believe we came at about 5pm and…read moreit was empty. We did sit inside because we were very hot from the boardwalk. 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.
