Italian food lovers rejoice: Antonio “Tony” Gonzalez and Ergys “Eric” Rakaj have joined forces to open their first BYOB restaurant, A Modo Mio Ristorante.
This modern yet charming BYOB restaurant welcomes diners with warm colors, comfortable seating and plenty of natural lighting. Guests can eat in the dining room or on the outdoor patio while enjoying the peaceful sounds of the ocean.
The menu consists of Italian cuisine with refreshing, seasonal influences. Menu items include homemade pastas, braised short ribs, and grilled filet of branzino. Chef Antonio adds a modern twist to his dishes, all while staying true to classic Italian recipes. Be sure to come in for lunch and try an authentic panino!Cafe Loren

For four decades our menu has kept pace with American culinary trends. Over the years our heavy French influence has given way to American cuisine, a happy hybrid of styles, methods and ingredients from around the globe. Our menu can best be described as "American Coastal Cuisine". American because of our diverse preparations and Coastal because of our emphasis on seafood. But meat lovers have not been forgotten. We offer superbly prepared lamb, veal, beef and pork.

Prime rib was excellent, very good portion (took half home). Although a minor thing, even the bread deserved seconds. Clams Casino soup is special for this summer of 2025, I should have gotten a second bowl (creamy, included ham & bacon, clams) Carrot cake desert was very very good, the icing alone was special.More infoAvalon Links RestaurantPrice: Expensive• American• Cape May Court House•4.6
