Beautiful interiors. Exceptional Italian food. A little challenging to make reservations in the summer but there’s a good reason why. Our server Athena was a delight! Super patient and friendly with the baby. Incredible chicken parm!

An Excellent Meal! I chose this restaurant based on reviews and it didn’t disappoint . Made a reservation for an early dinner – got right in . It’s a BYOB but they do sell bottles of wine if you want ( no wines by the glass). They had early bird specials that we took advantage of since we were eating during that time frame . $35 for soup or salad, entree and dessert. The portions were huge – I got the salmon and it was excellent. Dessert was choice of 2 cannolis , chic moose or sherbet – I got the cannoli’s. Pricing in general was reasonable for non early bird meals which some were also offered as regular choices ).
Service was top notch. It didn’t look line much from the outside but the inside decor and atmosphere was very inviting. I would definitely eat here again the next time we are in the area .

Arrived here 15 minutes early and was seated right away. The restaurant itself is very pretty and the service was fantastic with Athena as our waitress. The fried calamari we asked for not spicy and was delicious! My daughters shared the chicken tenders with fries because it is a large portion and both loved their Shirley temples. My husband ordered the fettuccine al fredo with scallops and loved it. I enjoyed the chicken parm even thought it was a little thicker than I like, with the cavatelli that was cooked perfectly. Will absolutely be back.

Our food from appetizers to entrees and desserts were outstanding and DELICIOUS! We were very grateful and happy! This is a must place to eat. We will be back soon Thank you

I wish I could give this place 6 or 7, maybe more stars. Seriously everything about this place was amazing. Don’t let the location fool you. This is a top quality Italian restaurant. We really enjoy our dinner from start to finish. The starter house salad was huge, definitely enough for 2 to split. My wife and I both had the gluten free option. The staff was very knowledgeable about my celiac/gluten needs. I had one of the specials, which was a spicy seafood pasta dish. It had clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari. Our server, Mariam, was stupendous. She was perfect on timing and was even able to rattle off the gluten free dessert options.
The atmosphere was great too. A smaller place but we didn’t feel on top of any one. The place was also super clean. I can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you’re celiac and miss a good pasta dish.

We had such a great time at Iccara Italian Bistro today! The food was super tasty, the vibe was cozy, and everything just felt right. But what made it extra special was our server Frank — he was awesome! Super friendly, helpful, and made us feel so welcome. Thanks, Frank, you really made our day! Can’t wait to come back again!!!!

Very nice BYOB restaurant! Service was very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend making a reservation as it does get crowded/fully booked. Came here for a nice dinner on a short vacation. We started with the rice balls which were amazing – highly suggest ordering! I got lasagna which was a good size portion and i loved the sauce. My friend ordered the special of blackened chicken over parmesan risotto which was also very delicious. The 4 stars is because the seafood bisque was not a hit. It wasn’t very flavorful and it went uneaten. Despite that, would return again!

The restaurant looks nice inside but our table was tiny and we were crammed in close to people on both sides. Everything we ordered was just off or very heavy, from the arancini that tasted like mozzarella sticks to overcooked pasta. The tables next to us had similar complaints of too much butter or cheese and heavy, hard to eat dishes.

I recently proposed to my now fiancée and I knew this would be a perfect restaurant. I cannot explain how kind and understanding the staff and owners are at this restaurant. There was a small mishap with one of their staffs, this set our reservation back a bit, I felt terrible and like we should try to find another restaurant to dine but we decided to wait. I felt bad for the reason of knowing they were understaffed and very busy, we had a party of 8 and I knew this would put them under even more pressure. Although our reservation got pushed past closing, THE OWNERS STILL SAT US. Imagine a world where a restaurant is not only willing to still take your reservation after such a stressful night, but is willing to do so in a kind, considerate, and non judgmental manner. The owner apologized, explained the situation, then proceeded with the dinner. They did not dwell on this or make it the focal point of our reservation. Instead, they offered us free wine and champagne, gave us incredible attention to all of our orders. The owner even came over to ask to see my fiancées ring and went on to say how beautiful the ring was. This made the entire night that much more personal and engaging. We had the most amazing food, drinks, and service. I’ve never experience hospitality like I did at this establishment. This restaurant as a whole embodies what it’s like to be apart of the Cape May culture. Everyone was so pleasant and kind I am beyond happy and grateful we were able to dine with them. I cannot recommend this place enough. I sincerely hope they know how thankful we were and I am so happy that they are such an integral part of the Cape May experience. If you are ever in town, do not skip this restaurant! This place is more similar to dining at a close friends house with immaculate cooking experience than it is to a regular restaurant.

Horrible experience with the front hostess and the manager was worse. Arrived 10 minutes early for reservation and as told to wait outside in the cold. Then when we came back in at our reservation time, we saw them seat 2 parties before us that arrived for the same time slot. We were then told that our table still had dinners at it so we had to wait as we observed multiple open tables. Then we were talked about behind our backs. We have a video of the incident. Awful.
