Duffinetti's Restaurant And Lounge

One of the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever been at we heard that this restaurant has been open almost 80 years we met the owner. She was delightful everyone there was so professional.!! Our favorite choices for dinner were the pork chop and also the brave short rib joined with the duck horn Merlot. A light full complementary salad followed with the delightful sweet vinaigrette for dessert. We had the homemade cheesecake served with the raspberry sauce, and also the homemade tiramisu… they even had some exotic after dinner, LeCours and coffees.. when we are in Cape May we always go to this restaurant we met the owner. Her name is Trish. She is so nice.

The dipping sauce served with a great bread was delicious. Enjoyed the seafood risotto. There was a live band playing, and I enjoyed the music, though it was a little loud. The band stopped by and asked if they were too loud and were kind enough to lower the volume. Many thanks to them and their thoughtfulness.

We have been going to Duffinetti's for about 3 years now and it's part of our vacation schedule to eat there atleast once! They have a dance floor and someone talented is always there performing live the hits of yesteryear and today! The owner is a sweetheart and she always greets us, comes over to see how we have been and how we are doing!

Upon entering the owner Trish was so welcoming and sat us immediately not even 5 minutes waiting .. table bread was warm crunchy outside and soft inside with a seasoned olive oil dipping .. Appetizers were mussels marinara and crab gnocchi .. Wow is all me and the hubby kept saying when we tasted each plate of food , gnocchi was so soft and pillow fluffy and they are not skippy with the crab, mussels were fresh and not fishy , staff was on point refilling drinks and cleaning up the table. Our waiter was awesome ! Dinner was seafood risotto and chicken franchise again a home run . I cannot explain how great the food is you have to go and try this place. The owner even went out her way to thank us and say come back again 5 star dining guys

Wow! This was our first time eating here and won't be the last. I was so surprised by how great everything we ordered tasted. Duffinetti's is an exceptional restaurant. Best Clams Casino and the dishes were so filling. Our waiter James made us feel at home and walked us through the menu and daily specials to the perfect meal. We will definitely return every year we visit wildwood.

OMG! Came here with 9 people, we were sat within 10 minutes of a fully packed restaurant, and we didn’t even call ahead. The service was to die for and the food was heavenly, we did appetizers, entrees, desserts the whole thing and every single item was amazing, not to mention everything came out quick and correct. Truly and honestly I recommend this restaurant to you 1000% , please go!! The owner was the sweetest woman and was so so accommodating. Me and my family will most definitely be returning. Thank you Duffinetti’s for a wonderful time.

I came on a solo trip to wildwood and Dunginetti’s did not disappoint! My mom is from Poland and she makes homemade pierogis, pastas, etc. and the crab gnocchi is the bomb! The pasta is made fresh and MELTS..MELTS…in your mouth. I also ate the Pork Chop (on the bone) and honestly, I am FULL! The portions, the ambiance, and even bartenders all amazing! I highly recommend this establishment, 75 years later you perfect your craft.. one of the “old school” spots with full plates. And an extra bonus: live music when dining!

James was our waiter tonight and the service was fantastic. The food was the best Italian I have had in wildwood and I have been coming to this shore point for 15 years. The atmosphere here definitely feels like family. We loved it. The braised short ribs were out of this world. If you go make sure you ask for James. He made our night! Can’t wait to come back!
