Perucci's - Millville

This is the cutest Italian restaurant ever! The menu offers a great variety of classic red sauce dishes along with some unique culinary specials. The tables are dressed with nice linen tablecloths and napkins, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I can’t wait to return!

During our vacation in Bethany, we decided to order takeout from Perucci's. The bar was bustling, suggesting it’s quite a popular place. Most of the entrées were priced between $28 and $30, which I understand given it’s a resort area and prices tend to be elevated. However, I felt that the portion sizes and overall quality fell short of expectations. While the experience was average, I’m not sure I would choose to order from here again.

The menu boasts a diverse range of Italian offerings, including pasta, pizza, seafood, and veal, with options available for vegetarians and those needing gluten-free meals. I highly recommend making a reservation — you’ll need to call and leave a message, and they will return your call to confirm. When my family of three arrived at 5 PM, we found a parking spot conveniently located near the entrance. There was another couple ahead of us, and we were seated at the first table on the right. It was a bit chilly, given that it was January, but I quickly warmed up with two Maker's Mark Manhattans served up, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We also requested some bread, which was promptly brought to our table. To start, I had a crisp Caesar salad, followed by my favorite cioppino, which featured clams, mussels, shrimp, hot sausage, linguine, and a flavorful spicy Sunday sauce. I can confidently say we will likely return when we crave some delicious Italian cuisine again.

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!
