What the experts agree on

Hidden Atlantic City basement gem serving old-school Italian-American classics—veal milanese and luminous pastas—in a speakeasy setting. Expect tight quarters and waits, but BYOB pricing and generous portions make it worthwhile for serious red-sauce

No matter how much you consume, don’t miss house-made desserts like ricotta cheesecake so light, it practically levitates.
