Cafe 2825 Atlantic City Reviews
The food was exceptional.
One of the best meals I've ever had. But I only gave it four stars because I called to make a reservation two weeks in advance. You only get a reservation if they return your call. I never got a return call. So, a week later a friend called and

From beginning to end our time at cafe 2825 was extra extraordinary. The closest thing to being back in Italy at your favorite restaurant. Thanks for everything and we will most definitely be back.
This might be my new favorite restaurant in Atlantic City!
This might be my new favorite restaurant in Atlantic City! Me and my husband made a last minute trip to AC for my birthday and I couldn't get a reservation in time for my favorite restaurant. I found this place and tried to make a reservation.
I say yes because of the food.
The food is exquisite. BUT I have NEVER been here to experience so many people standing blocking the front door entrance to the point is was diificult for wait staff to bring beverages and food ordered. You can barely hear the people you are dining w

Couldn't get a reservation for one of our favorite places in Atlantic City, because it was too much of a last minute trip. My wife was able to get a later time hear and we were just happy to have a reservation. Once in town, we heard there was a
No reservation response
Sadly I didn’t have an experience. I did as I was told… 2 weeks to the day I called for a reservation… no call back. Called 2 more times … no call back. I had been at this restaurant years ago and loved it. Wanted to celebrate birthday and 49

What an experience eating there! Divine order that two of the four total seats at the bar were open. The front room is dark and boisterous and loud with fun energy and spectacular food. The back room is lighter and brighter and a very different vibe;
Food was delicious.
Staff very attentive and helpful. The room was a bit noisy, people were friendly. Hope to get back soon.
Some of the best food I've ever had in my life.
Cacio e pepe is something I now dream about. Cheesecake is equally amazing.
Very hard to get a reservation for this Olive Garden food.
Stay home and use a jar of Ragu for a better meal.

The food and drinks were heavenly! The service top notch and the ambiance was perfect for our date night! Loved everything about Cafe2825.
Amazing
I seek delicious fine dining experiences for special occasions (everyday is a special day). Cafe2825 did not disappoint. We started with the bucatini in the cheese wheel. Which was delicious but small. It was a tease so I decided to add the mozzarell
Food, service great, but NOISY
Great meal here - creamy lobster, crab and shrimp over pasta, broccoli and potato side dishes, Caesar salad made tableside, and cannoli. Great service from a couple of servers and chef came out to check on us and others. Sat in the patio area in back
The food was average.
I had high expectations. Calamari with honey was too sweet and Pasta was too salty.
Really Disappointing…
Sadly I think Cafe 2825 is losing its mojo. The charm is no longer there. We went for our anniversary this weekend and had a very average..if not below average experience. We were whisked to the back patio (cold room that has no ambience) and f
Among the best in AC
We were finally in town on the right day and snagged an early reservation. They did an expansion since our last visit which is great since they are always packed-this night not being any different. We were graciously greeted by one of the owners and
Must Try
One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Food and service were amazing. Highly recommend to try the table service experience of handmade Burrata.
Lip smacking good classic Italian
What a fabulous meal I enjoyed with a business colleague who was in town to be playing the Hard Rock. He adores traditional Italian food, and when he comes in from California, I do my best to spoil him. 2825 and therir exceptionally attentive staff d
Amazing Italian Cuisine
The best Italian food outside of my own kitchen. The ambiance of an upscale Manhattan restaurant, you would never know you were in AC. Reservations a must. We were able to grab a table early just on accident. Meatball egg roll appetizer was deliciou
Porkchop of the year
Went back once again to Cafe 2825 for my anniversary. All my meals have always been outstanding but I particularly enjoyed me Pork Chop San Marzano. The meat (breaded porkchop) was very tender and it was flavorful with whole tomatoe,sausage cheese.
Outstanding!!!!
Hands down the best meal from start to finish we have ever had!!!! All of the table side items are a must!!!! Especially the mozzarella!!! We are all foodies so we know good food and this was outstanding!!!!
First of all, the food is flavorful, period.
So satisfying. Anything you order is great. We came 6 years ago and the owners were so kind, we came back this year for our anniversary. My husband is mesmerized by the fresh pasta in the cheese wheel with truffel goodness. This is an appetizer. The

STOP! Save your money! The hype is the reason we fought for the reservation. Tiny inside. Only 13 tightly packed tables. Tabletop for 4 was 30x30inches. The menus were 14 inches. Leaving 6 inches for the 10 inch plates. The noise level was off the de
Very average dining experience for this popular local restaurant
We figured that since it was so difficult to get a reservation for our party of eight, that we were in store for a superior dining experience….boy, were we wrong. Where to begin…excellent Italian bread that comes with olive oil ( not extra virgin

This place is a hard reservation to get but it NEVER disappoints. We love the table side preparations of the burrata, polenta with slow roasted pork gravy, and the cacio e Pepe made in the Locatelli wheel. Plus there are so many more mouth watering o

Don't understand how this place has such high reviews when the customer service is terrible. Zach has the worst attitude problem.

Don't you think that a restaurant as expensive as 2825 could afford to have yelp online menus that were in focus and exposed correctly?

We were so excited to get in here again!! Still did not disappoint- amazing food & experience!! This time we got the zucchini flowers, pasta in the cheese wheel, Halibut Francese, and my bf for Salomon oreganatto, which was a special. We love

I pride myself in seeking out mom and pop hidden gems with true authentic gourmet Italian dishes, and this establishment is undoubtedly the best both within and outside of AC. Superior quality compared to the rest! From the tableside fresh mozzarell

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner here last night.
We had zucchini flowers, stuffed artichoke,stuffed calamari, tripe and tableside mozzerella. I didn't believe the zucchini flowers would be fresh in March but they absolutely were. They were the star of the night. They were so light but the filling w

The fresh mozzarella table side is to die for! The food is so fresh and delicious at Cafe 2825. Main dining room and back dining room are equally nice and great options for your dining preferences.
Reservations were hard to secure.
Watching the servers do table side cooking was fun! The fresh mozzarella was a quicker experience than expected but it was soo delicious!! I got the halibut franchise and really wasn't a fan of the dish to be honest. Next time I'll definitely try out
This is a hidden gem.
The food is 10/10, the service is awesome, and the ambiance is perfect.
Stopped here in January.
It was my first time. The food is excellent and the service is too. They get very crowded and it's very difficult to make a reservation since they are always full, but should you be lucky to obtain one, you will be very satisfied. It's a small place
This is the only hands down 5 star review I've ever given.
This is the best restaurant in New Jersey hands down
Very bad customer service if you can even reach customer
Very bad customer service if you can even reach customer service. Go to Chef Vola. You could even get better service at Olive Garden.
Outstanding food and service.
All the staff are professional and courteous. It's without a doubt the best Itialian food.
All I can say is OUTSTANDING.
The service and food are top notch. Can't wait to go back
Best artichoke since Nonna's!
Love this place. Authentic old-school atmosphere, exquisite food! My only disappointment was the hostess/server. She wasn't friendly and even took away my martini shaker without refilling my glass. Over-worked owner? Disgruntled employee? Hopefull
My Absolute Favorite Restaurant
I’m reluctant to share how awesome this restaurant is, because it is already very hard to get into. Again my meal was outstanding. The table side appetizers are alway a hit. Joe and Zack make you feel like you are family.
Absolutely wonderful
Such an amazing and personal establishment. I can’t tell you the last time that I had the head chef and owner come have a conversation with me in my life. The food was amazing and the hospitality was untouchable. We haven’t even gotten to the de
Bellissimo
Tucked away off the Atlantic City Boardwalk this little gem will not disappoint. It's lively, noisy and just delivers on all points. The decor takes me to Europe, the tables are arranged so there is just enough space to wheel the table side carts in

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cafe 2825 Atlantic City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cafe 2825 Atlantic City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Cafe 2825 Atlantic City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cafe 2825 Atlantic City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
