This Bayville Spot Is One Of NJ's Best Italian Restaurants

NJ.com recently ranked the top 50 greatest Italian restaurants in New Jersey, and this Bayville spot made the cut.

BERKELEY, NJ — It's impossible to live in New Jersey and not love Italian food. Of course, every person has their own favorite place to get it. And with the sheer amount of Italian food in the state, each of them is probably right. But NJ.com recently took on the task of ranking the top 50 greatest Italian restaurants in the state. And this Bayville spot made it.

Coming in at number 32 is Senza at 333 Atlantic City Blvd. The report admires the spot's lack of cliched dishes, despite its strip mall location.

The report recommends trying the Polpette della nonna, which are "slow-baked meatballs over Sardinian cavatelli in a tomato ricotta sauce." The report describes the dish as "exquisite." Sounds delicious!
