Perucci's - Millville

Cutest ever Italian restaurant! Menu is a good mix of red gravy usuals and culinary specials. Nice linen tablecloths and napkins and super friendly staff. Can't wait to come back!

We ordered take out from Perucci's while on vacation in Bethany. The bar was packed and it seemed to be a popular spot. Most of the entree's were $28-$30. I realize that this restaurant is located in a resort area so the prices are higher than normal. I think that they portions and quality are a bit lacking though. I probably wouldn't order from here again but it was average.

As you can see from my last review, my first visit was here in September 2023 when I enjoyed my dinner. This was my second visit for dinner. This is a family-owned and operated restaurant that has been serving classic Italian dishes since 1977. They moved here to their new location from their prior location. The restaurant has a rather dark rustic, old-world feel. The menu features a wide variety of Italian dishes, including pasta, pizza, seafood, and veal. There are also vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Reservations are recommended. You must call them to leave a message to request a reservation. They will call back to confirm your reservation. When my family of three arrived at 5 pm we were able to park in the back nearest to the entrance. A couple was ahead of us. We were seated at the first table to the right. It was a bit chilly when we arrived in January. I started with and enjoyed my two Maker's Mark Manhattans up. They warmed me up. Bread was also served per our request. I started with the crisp Caesar salad. I again enjoyed my cioppino with clams, mussels. shrimp, hot sausage, linguine, and spicy sunday sauce. We will likely return here again when we are in the mood for Italian cuisine.

We eat at Perucci's each time we visit the Bethany Beach area. This trip we felt the restaurant took a step backwards. The chicken marsala was very watery. The penne and vodka was ok. Hopefully next year will be better.

Our party of 3 didn't have a reservation bit they were able to accommodate our request on a Saturday evening. The lasagna and rhe sausage and peppers were both fantastic! Can't wait to go back!
