Saltwater never disappoints. Everything about this place feels polished yet relaxed, making it perfect for a great night out in Margate.
The food was outstanding — the pizza was cooked to perfection with a great crust and bold, fresh flavors, and the gnocchi was absolutely phenomenal: light, pillowy, and rich without being heavy. You can tell real care goes into every dish.
Add in the beautiful setting, welcoming atmosphere, and consistently excellent service, and Saltwater easily stands out as one of Margate’s top dining spots. Highly recommended, and definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. ✨

Had dinner last night and everything was perfect portions were big and Atmosphere was great. Place was pretty busy for off-season. Food was outstanding.

Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The Caesar salad was a big portion with the highlight being the croutons. They taste just like garlic bread. The cheese pizza was good.

Saltwater was honestly AMAZING! Every bite was delectable… square pie was very special! Gnocchi super pillowy and light! Got the eggplant caprese- out of this world! Owner Dave makes your pizza personally and is an old (doesn’t look it) BEAST Wrestler!!! LOVED Saltwater and we will be back!

My boyfriend and I came in for valentines day and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. The food was delicious and we had great portions. If we lived in New Jersey we would definitely come back!

My absolute favorite restaurant! The pizza, gnocchi, cutlets, and sausage and peppers are outstanding. Portions are large, prices are reasonable. Highly recommend this place though the service can be slow sometimes.

Five stars for the absolute best pizza we have had in a very long time, possibly ever, outside of Italy. Perfectly cooked Sicilian crust with sweet marinara sauce and just the right amount of cheese and spices. We also had the giant gnocchi pillows with blush sauce. This gnocchi is not the typical ridged tiny dumpling, it is much larger and more airy in texture. We enjoyed the gnocchi but the pizza was the star of the meal. The pie is huge and well-priced. For a sleepy off-season shore town, the restaurant was pretty busy. The decor of the restaurant is colorful and modern with attractive art and comfortable seating. Definitely check this place out and without a doubt, order the pizza.

Bartenders and servers are fantastic. The place is noisy and crowded. Great vibe summertime vibe. The best pizza anywhere. Sicilian gnocchi and slow roasted pork amazing.

Three of us went to dinner here and each got drinks. The bartenders were maybe 21 and it showed in the drinks, definitely not worth the price. We ordered the toasted gnocchi app but they were pretty burnt, the sauce was good. The dipping oil was gross, no flavor and drops of balsamic, bread wasn’t even worth the calories. We ordered the white mushroom and rosemary pizza, it was more than enough to share with the french fries. The pizza was good but extremely oily, the fries were fine. We sat outside after getting our first drink at the bar. It wasn’t that busy but the wait staff was scarce and difficult to get their attention. The water was served in plastic cups with a water carafe but no ice. Uncertain if I’d return honestly because of the cost and the kids running the place.
