Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    Great food and service even with the busy holiday rush. When i booked all they had was “high top tables”, i assumed hightop bar stool’s. All the regular table reservations were booked so i selected high top. When i got there, all the tables were the same normal dining tables. It was just some were a step or two up on a higher level in the same room. The food was excellent and large servings. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

    Dining room loud, seated near a wall where a wedding reception was taking place on other side, could hear DJ and music - not unbearable but not optum either. Food was very good but not great. Long time to get entrees. Overall good experience 4/5 but expected more from this iconic local establishment.
