Spiaggetta Italian Seafood Trattoria
you must wear a mask inside the restaurant and maintain 6 feet apart from the closest person
Spiaggetta, our namesake, means little beach in Italian. When you are here, it sure feels like you are on a little beach in Italy though. We go through great lengths to ensure an authentic experience, from hand making our own pastas, to sticking to traditional Italian kitchen rules when we source only the best, freshest local ingredients for their flavor. The Tarantino family excitedly welcomes you to see what real Italian food and hospitality is like, and invites you to spend a night in their dining room in the same way a close friend would host a dinner party. We expertly prepare delicious Branzino or serve our handmade gnocchi as if we were trying to impress our mothers.
At Spiaggetta, you are always assured of three things: fresh fish, handmade pasta and Italian hospitality. We can't wait to seat you!

Excellent food!
Great live music Friday 9/25 and food was excellent and tasty as always.
Great food; all fresh and tasty. Pasta dishes are best shared
Because it was our first trip to Avalon, NJ, we checked TripAdvisor and the restaurant was recommended by them. We sat indoors and ordered a simple dish of spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta wasn't salted so even asking for extra sauce didn't help with the taste. I remarked that the same dish at home was so much better.
While we ate, small bugs kept flying around us so we had to keep waving our hands to get them away. I wonder what the kitchen looks like if they are bad at the tables.
In addition, we thought the price for such a simple dish without a salad was excessive at $66 plus tip.
Food was just okay; we had a lovely server but hostess was not pleasant.
As far as the pasta, go for the fettuccine not the gnocchi!
Nice room w good spacing.
Good fresh food
Great food and fast friendly service. The octopus was prepared perfectly and the entrees come with spectacular sauces that put the entire experience together nicely.
Excellent service and excellent food.
What a great place to eat! It's everything you would expect from an Italian restaurant. All of the food is freshly made. The environment has the energy and spirit of an Italian family kitchen. And the food is fabulous! It's a BYOB kind of place so bring your favorite beverage.
Always makes us feel appreciated !
The bread and appetizers were very good. I loved the dipping oil they had for the bread. We had the calamari for an appetizer which was outstanding. My husband had the bronzini which was good but nothing to rave about. I had a pasta dish which had potential but was over-sauced and thick. We had the chocolate cake for dessert which was quite good. We ate outside. The wait staff was all very friendly to our dogs which pushed them to a 4 overall instead of a 3.
Great food, authentic Roman cuisine. Great ambiance.
Great food and service!
The food was ok... Not very flavorful. I would not go back for a second time.
It would be nice to know beforehand that they are BYOB
Entrees were substantial and excellent. Outdoor eating was reasonable considering the COVID realities, although getting a bit cool in September! Fight the seagulls!
Food and service were good.A little over priced.Disappointed that they charged extra to substitute a different type of pasta,but overall it was good .
Good was good. Service was very slow.
A bit chaotic waiting to be seated, but terrific cuisine so worth the wait.
Delicious, authentic italian food is hard to come by at the jersey shore, but Spiaggetta solves that dilemma! Pasta dishes are fantastic! Love the fact that it is also BYOB! Highly recommend!
Excellent service and food. It was our first experience with indoor dining since February. Tables are spaced out nicely and felt comfortable. Highly recommend this ristaurante.
Great food. Great location
Great food and great service. We all thought our meals were outstanding. The bruschetta Was the best we ever had the bread was incredible. We needed a good Italian meal and we got even better. Thank you soooooo much
Great food, will be back soon! Order the veal parm!
Great service, delicious food
Spiaggetta Restaurant is our favorite restaurant in Stone Harbor, we try to go at least several times a year. Food is alway terrific and the owner and staff are very friendly.
Until the next time....

Very accommodating under challenging circumstances. Food was wonderful, from the presentation to the outstanding taste.
Best food in town! Can not wait to go back! We had a large group service was great! Could not have been friendlier! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Started the meal with long hots and tripe, delicious. I had the veal parmigiana. It was good. My husband raved about the salmon with a side of risotto. Our guests had the Amitricana which was outstanding and the chicken in a limoncello sauce. Will definitely go back again.
Delicious Italian food. I had gnocchi with bolangese sauce while my dining companion asked for it to be paired with just a red sauce. They were very accommodating. A bit pricey at a bill with tip of over $60 for 2 plates of pasta and tap water but it was homemade and tasted as such and as a bring your own I know they have to make a living so we were fine with it. Especially happy to support a local business who no doubt has been affected for the months and months of Covid issues. Thank you for great service and delicious food!
Excellent meal and service. Homemade pastas are the best!! Love it here. Our 2nd trip there this summer.
Food was delicious. Waiter was helpful but got a little bogged down when it got busier.
Great service and delicious food!
Best dinner we have had in a long time The Porchetta was to die for. Portions were generous service was very good We will be repeat customers
Food was delicious and service was great. The outside eating area was set up very nicely with plenty of distancing.
My friend and I dined there last night.
I got the chicken special, he got the sausage broccoli rabe pasta dinner; both of the meals were awesome.
The waitress was attentive and the owner was great as well.They were very aware of the Covid situation and we felt very safe.
We will definitely return.
Food is excellent!
Went with the family on Labor Day Weekend and was worried we’d be rushed, but perfectly paced. Food was excellent and nice it’s byob. Definitely Recommend 👍
First night of NJ indoor dining, so very busy night. Seated right away at reserved time, wait staff very attentive and the meal was excellent. Well done!
Great place to eat in Stone Harbor!
A little pricey but it’s in line with other restaurants in this area.
