Best Casual Restaurants in Ocean View

The grilled octopus appetizer and fried calamari appetizer were wonderful! The cheesecake and lemoncello cake were excellent! The lobster ravioli and fettuccine with shrimp and scallops were very good. The sauces were just a little richer than we expected. The waitress and staff were exceptional. This may sound silly, but my only complaint was the charge for a refill of iced tea. I have no problem paying for good food and service, but I wouldn't have had a second iced tea if I had known. It's just ridiculous. It's not the money. It's the point. Reconsider this outdated practice, please. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Food and service were very good. We will be back.

Enjoyed the early bird/ prix fixe menu today. And there was live music. Enjoyed the evening!

Such a great place to go for dinner! I had the Pasta bolognese and it was fantastic as always. My wife had the Bronzino special, and she really enjoyed it. Our waiter was phenomenal. Generally everything was great. The bread served at the table was just ‘OK’, as was the olive oil, which seemed like it was infused with something. But those are just nitpicks. Overall, we were very happy with our experience dining at Buona Vita and will definitely be coming back.

It’s our go-to place every time we visit Sea Isle! Quizzo is an added bonus on Friday nights! Food was amazing and our server was awesome!
