    This place is a hidden gem. I am so happy to have found my new go to restaurant when I'm in Atlantic City. The restaurant has such a great vibe. Old school charm and elegance and beautifully decorated. The views of the ocean were awesome. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the chicken cutlet parmigiana which was outstanding, the sauce was authentic and the pasta that was on the side was excellent. What a great place to dine. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. The prices were very reasonable for Italian restaurants and for the view and for the excellent food that you're gonna get it is definitely worth your while. I will be returning whenever I'm in Atlantic City.
