During our recent stay at Oceans Casino in Atlantic City, we had the pleasure of dining at Linguini’s, a restaurant that masterfully blends classic Italian flavors with a touch of modern elegance. Our experience at Linguini’s was more than just a meal; it was a culinary journey filled with delicious food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that made the evening unforgettable.
An Inviting Atmosphere
Walking into Linguini’s, we were immediately struck by its warm, inviting ambiance. The restaurant’s soft lighting, cozy decor, and attentive staff set the perfect stage for a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re seated by the window with a view of the bustling casino or tucked into a quiet corner, Linguini’s makes you feel like a cherished guest.
Appetizers That Set the Tone
We started our meal with a selection of appetizers that perfectly showcased Linguini’s dedication to quality and flavor. The Caesar Salad was a refreshing start, with crisp hearts of romaine, focaccia croutons, and a creamy Caesar dressing that struck just the right balance. The Chilled Shrimp were plump and juicy, served with a zesty cocktail sauce that added a delightful kick.
The Blue Point Oysters, accompanied by a flavorful mignonette, were a highlight, offering a taste of the ocean that was both fresh and briny. We also enjoyed the House-Made Meatballs, which were tender and flavorful, served in a rich pomodoro sauce with a dollop of creamy ricotta on top—a comforting and satisfying dish that set the tone for the rest of the evening.
Main Courses Worth Savoring
For the main course, we indulged in a variety of dishes that highlighted Linguini’s range of offerings. The Steak and Lobster was an absolute standout, combining the rich, buttery flavor of lobster with a perfectly cooked steak that was tender and juicy. The addition of a side of garlic-infused mashed potatoes made this dish a true indulgence.
Another highlight was the Bucatini alla Carbonara, featuring bucatini pasta coated in a luscious sauce of pecorino, pancetta, cipollini onion, and a perfectly runny egg yolk. This dish was a perfect blend of creamy and savory, with just the right amount of black pepper to give it a subtle kick.
The Berkshire Pork Chop, seared porchetta-style and served with roasted long hots and a rich pork jus, was another winner. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to a tender finish, making each bite a delight. The Chicken Parmigiana was classic comfort food at its best—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and smothered in pomodoro sauce, mozzarella, and parmigiano.
Delightful Drinks and Desserts
To complement our meal, we enjoyed a variety of expertly crafted cocktails. The Smoked Old Fashioned was a perfect start, with its smoky aroma and smooth bourbon flavor. The Venetian Margarita, with its blend of Don Julio Reposado, orange, pineapple, and prosecco, was refreshing and perfectly balanced.
For dessert, we couldn’t resist the Espresso Martini, which was a delightful blend of coffee and spirits, offering a sweet yet bold finish to our meal. Paired with a second Smoked Old Fashioned, it was the perfect way to end the evening on a high note.
