Reviews for The Twenties Italian Bistro in Atlantic City, NJ

We had Saturday 6:30pm reservations. The place was not very crowded. When we arrived there was a couple in front of us... requesting to be seated. The hostess (also the bartender) told them is was going to be a 30 minute wait, the kitchen had themstop seating. So it didn?t matter if we had reservations or not, we weren?t getting seated until the kitchen told them it wasokay. When we got seated our waitress was very nice. She apologized for the wait. She was definitely over worked. We orderedappetizers, they came out at a decent wait time. But when it came time for our dinner to come out, we had to have been sittingthere for an hour between finishing appetizers and receiving our dinner. Again the waitress apologized for the kitchen. Youcould tell she was doing her best but she was probably the only one there doing her best. Food was okay tasting. I had thechicken franchise. It was good until 4 hours later I got very sick with food poisoning. Our whole table ate the appetizers andwere fine. I was the only one who got the chicken franchise and got very sick from it. I think this restaurant needs someserious help with managing the reservation times, receiving food times and how long the food has been sitting. I definitelybelieve the food poisoning could have been prevented if this place wasn?t so understaffed. The only reason I?m even giving thisa 1 star is because the waitress and solely because of her.

I literally just walked out of this place!! We came in at 11:14 asking how long until breakfast. They told us 11:30 so we sat to... eat. The hostess picked a nice window seat. It was not until 11:28 that we walked out. We were never greeted by a server or evenbought a glass of water!! After sending people to this place all weekend just to go myself upon my departure I was very upset!!I was not going to have anyone rush my food order because they were not aware! There were only 3 other tables being occupied sothis should have have happened!!! Read more

We wanted Italian while staying at the Claridge. I have to say I saw the reviews were only 3 stars, but it was so nice to stay... in the hotel to eat. Our party of 7 all loved it. I had chicken parm. My husband had bolognese. My daughter had egg plant parmlook Three friends had sirloin. All 7 of us would definitely recommend. And our waiter Roy was excellent. Food portions werehuge. Read more

It took 1 1/2 hours for our meals to come out and they were cold. The server was very apologetic and felt bad. He did everything... to try and make it right. The manager took 20 minutes to come to our table after we tried tracking him down. The guy was dressedin a tshirt and jeans while the rest of the staff was dressed up. The food was eventually comped but never will go back there!Advise to owner...promote that server to manager! Read more

Terrible service, food tasted and appeared to be tv dinner quality, and took over hour to come out. Only offered water waiter... never came back to ask if we wanted anything else to drink and our water was never refilled. Food came out lukewarm. Breadsticks were delicious, we were served 3 breadsticks for our table. Chicken not completely cooked. 3 stalks of asparagus. Terrible anniversary dinner( at least we're still married!) Read more

Worst ever restaurant I have ever been, it is an insult to Italian restaurant. Please shut it down if you do not how to cook,... one thing appreciated was our server that?s all. Too much salt in the appetizer then in the entree Chicken Marsala was toosalty, returned it back and ordered Chicken Franses which had hair in it. Big shame! Read more

Visited this restaurant during my stay at The Claridge. The eggs Benedict was slightly bland but nothing a little added salt... couldn't fix. I understand that they are cooking for everyone with everyone's health in mind. The next time I had breakfasthere, I had pancakes with toast and over medium eggs as requested. It was delicious. No complaints here and food was reasonablypriced in my opinion. Also, I didn't wait long to be seated but then again I came here during the off season (November). Read more
