Do yourself a favor and go eat at Poppy’s !! Im from New Jersey and missed really good Italian, until I found this place. This is true Italian food and atmosphere!! There isn’t a bad item on the menu but my very favorite thing is the eggplant ! They have an amazing early bird special that we like to get to as much as possible. The service is absolutely amazing and they even have some live music sometimes which is a special treat. Go and enjoy!

Wow! This was my first time visiting and my taste buds were blown away! I ordered the Grouper Francesco and my husband ordered the Grouper scampi. We both absolutely enjoyed every bite of our meal! The waitress was amazing, the atmosphere was cozy, and our time there was priceless! If I were to make any suggestion, it would be to add photos to some of the menu items. Being that this was our first visit, we had no direction with what to order. Photos are always helpful. Besides that, you will love it there!!

5/5 stars across the board. This is my favorite Italian restaurant I have been to so far. Every single time I have come here, I leave extremely satisfied. I have never had a bad experience here, even when it is super busy, they deliver with excellent customer service and the food is always spectacular. The drinks are pretty strong. The servers are always so polite and get you whatever you need. The restroom is always super clean too along with the restaurant itself! I truly love this place. I am so happy spending my money here. I usually get cheese tortellini with the vodka sauce and its delicious, but the rack of lamb is also good and anything with their marinara really hits the spot. I recommend everyone I talk to, if they want really good authentic Italian food to come here!

Fab anniversary dinner at this restaurant. I had the veal (4 thinlysliced and cooked to perfection) and my husband had the fruita da mar. Best ever he said. Lots of seafood in it too. Great family owned restaurant. Loved the family story. Such nice people.

Made a reservation, was greeted warmly, seated promptly and the booth was comfortable. The food was wonderful. Our server was attentive and the only reason for a tick down in service was we ordered bread and butter for the table and it never arrived. I didn’t complain because I order Bruschetta, which was amazing and thought the bread might be overkill. The meal was fantastic! If you want an authentic Italian meal, Poppy’s is the place!
