    We decided on the price fixed menu, which at $59 was a true deal. Before you even order your dinner, you are gifted a piece of excellent Parmesan cheese, spicy and delicious bruschetta, amazingly, thin, sliced, and spicy zucchini, and many choices of bread. My husband is a bread guy and they let him have two pieces! I got the chicken Parm and couldn’t finish it. There was just too much food. My husband got the rigatoni with meat sauce, which is what he always gets and he loved it. We both had excellent salads for starters and I had the most delicious and light and airy cheesecake for dessert. My husband loved his chocolate cake dessert. The servers were efficient and very pleasant. there was an item on the bill that provided a space for you to tip your captain. We’ve eaten in many places all over the world and we have never seen that. We were a little bit stumped at how much to leave. We probably under tipped. Wish we had known better.

    I've had dinner several times at the Bally's Atlantic City Jerry Longo's and each time the food was excellent. I had the Veal Marsala for the first time at my past visit and it was absolutely wonderful!! Can't say enough about how delicious this meal was and how much I enjoyed it. Jimmy, my waiter, who I've known for years, is so warm and friendly and very attentive and makes the visit all the more enjoyable. The whole staff, from the hostess, to all staff involved in service are terrific. Always a wonderful experience!

    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.
