Sardelli's Italian Steakhouse

Thank you to Jamie, her boyfriend, & the wonderful staff here at Sardelli’s the food was absolutely amazing. Had great conversation with one of the staff members with the bald head known as “Diablo” great man! Me and my friends will definitely be back.

What an experience! This restaurant is a hidden gem two steps away from the beach and very close to the broadwalk.
Sardelli's is four stories high with a different vibe on each floor. The food was absolutely delicious. We were started off with focaccia bread with a whipped ricotta spread. We were also served a complimentary cream of vegetable soup that was delicious and served on beautiful bowls. I ordered the rigatoni and it came with sausage, short rib, and a humongous meatball. It was so good! We finished the night with the ricotta cheesecake. Each course was perfect. The service was 5/5 as well.

Make a res by calling the phone number, but otherwise sitting at the bar was a great experience as well. Very classic Italian place where portions were generous, quality was great, salads were crisp and fresh, and the menu had anything you your heart would desire, from a hearty steak to a very well done bowl of pasta. The focaccia bread to start was also AMAZING with the creamy tomato soup.

The general ambience was very familial and friendly though be sure to dress up. Love this gem in Hollywood.

Ambiance = 5. A beautiful elegant setting. We loved the white tablecloths and the crystal chandeliers. Food = 5. The included roasted garlic soup was sublime. Bread was served warm. The crust had a nice crunch, but it was just okay. Butter was whipped and tasted a bit cheesy and herby but lacking salt. The burrata crostini had a fun presentation under a glass smoke-filled cloche which imparted a subtle Smokey flavor to the burrata. Branzino piccata with wilted spinach was divine. Skinned, boned, both filets in a delicate lemon, caper, butter and white wine sauce. The rigatoni (fresh and house made in the third floor) was delicious as was the pomodoro sauce. Dish included a flavourful large meatball, link of Italian sausage, and a tender hunk of short rib. Enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Service = 3.5. The hostess/owner was gracious; we’d called as we were 10 minutes late for our reservation because of transportation issues. They allowed us to move from a 2-top to a 4-top without question. Our server started off great but seemed to lose interest in us as another table was ordering more of everything. Overall would most definitely return as the food was very good. It was a wonderful evening marred only towards the end by our server who seemed to imply that we could not afford the glasses of port we wanted to finish off our meal.

Authentic italian home made pasta in a fancy place. Great service. A little bit pricey. A gem in the area. Half a block away from the boardwalk, perfect for an after dinner walk. I Absolutely recommend!
