Our experience
The terrace is very welcoming, and we are rarely disappointed by the Italian cuisine!
The evening started badly because of a poorly informed employee. Fortunately, the manager stepped in and provided us with excellent service. The food was excellent as well!
Andrea Trattoria Italiana
Located at 412 Bank Street in the historic center of Cape May, New Jersey, Andrea Trattoria Italiana is an Italian restaurant led by chef Andrea Covino. Originally from Naples, Italy, the chef worked in several restaurants before opening his own establishment in 2004. The restaurant relocated to Cape May in 2020 and offers cuisine inspired by the traditions of southern Italy.
The menu emphasizes fresh ingredients, seasonal produce, and house-made preparations. Fresh pasta plays a prominent role on the menu, with dishes such as fettuccine Bolognese, linguine with clams, and gnocchi in a creamy gorgonzola sauce. Starters include carpaccio, burrata, seared scallops, and fried calamari.
Main courses feature various preparations of meat and fish, including veal, chicken, salmon, striped bass, and braised beef ribs. The menu changes with the seasons and may include the chef’s specialties. Italian desserts prepared on site complete the meal.
The establishment offers a traditional dining experience with table service, an intimate dining room, and an outdoor courtyard. Andrea Trattoria Italiana operates on a BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverage) policy, allowing guests to bring their own drinks. The restaurant also provides private spaces and catering services for events.
Located near downtown and the Cape May Stage theater, the restaurant sits in a historic area alongside shops, restaurants, and Victorian buildings.
