Craving pasta but not sure where to go? Based on our research and a dive through reviews, these are the six best places for a pasta night dinner.
This wouldn't be a list of the best places to grab pasta without mentioning the Atlantic City staple Chef Vola's. The restaurant has been around since 1921, and we can assure you the quality of its menu has not dwindled over the last century. We recommend trying the chicken parmesan, stated by multiple reviewers to be the best they'd ever had.
Carmine's Italian Restaurant specializes in serving Southern Italy dishes. The chain restaurant is a relaxed, family-friendly place to take your littles for a good pasta dish. We recommend trying out the Rigatoni Country Style. This dish is created with thick rigatoni pasta in a buttery white sauce with pork sausage, prosciutto, chicken stock, cannellini beans, broccoli, onions and Romano cheese.
Another longtime Atlantic City staple, Angelo's Fairmount Tavern, has been serving up tasty pasta dishes to locals and visitors alike since 1935. The eatery gives very generous servings to its guests and a great wine list for pairing a drink with your meal. The Eggplant Florentine is a raved about dish and consists of lightly fried layers of eggplant topped with spinach and provolone cheese and smothered with marinara sauce.
A great option for a date night or business meeting, Cafe 2825 offers an intimate setting with made-from-scratch dishes and a full bar and wine list. Plus, you can enjoy table side experiences with handmade warm burrata-style fresh mozzarella, polenta on the wooden board, cacio e pepe in the cheese wheel with truffle cheese and old world caesar salad. The Bucatini Pomodorini is a popular choice—homemade bucatini, San Marzano cherry tomato, basil, garlic, olive oil and prosciutto.
This restaurant offers Italian meals with a 1980s retro cocktail vibe, making it a great spot for dinner and a night out with friends. Even the website fits the theme with a nostalgic design. For a meal with a nice kick, we recommend trying the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and pairing it with one of their themed cocktails.
