Over the past several years, one thing has become pretty clear. South Jersey has some great restaurants, with many routinely popping up on national lists naming the best of the best.
NJ.com Names the 51 Best Italian Restaurants in New Jersey
Now our friends by Pete Genovese, Jeremy Schneider, Stephanie Rizzolo, and Bobby Olivier over at NJ.com are naming the 51 very best Italian restaurants in the state of New Jersey, with multiple Southern New Jersey spots landing on the list.
Five South Jersey Restaurants Earn Recognition
For this article, we are going to focus on the Italian restaurants in Atlantic and Cape May counties. Five local spots landed on the list, including the No. 1 overall spot.
No. 46: Panico’s422 Broadway
West Cape May

No. 39: Sapore Italiano
416 S Broadway, West Cape MayNo. 33: Spiaggetta Restaurant 9800 3rd Ave, Stone HarborNo. 14: Ched Vola’s
111 S Albion Pl, Atlantic CityNo. 1: Cafe 2825, 2825 Atlantic Ave, Atlantic City
Cafe 2825, grabbing the top spot, is no surprise; they have been named one of the top chicken parm dishes in the state and were just named one of the top Italian restaurants in America by over 70 million reviews by Beli Eats. Chef Vola’s also landed on that same Beli Eats list, which says they might be a little low on this list.
As we know, lists are subjective, but one thing is for sure: I will be trying to get a reservation at Cafe 2825 soon and try all of these spots sometime in the near future.
