"Jerry Longo’s is an excellent up-scale restaurant at Bally’s. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and I really loved it. The sauce was more sophisticated than your typical marinara sauce and blended in very well with the tender chicken. The service was also quick and our server made great conversation. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant with views great views of the Boardwalk and oldies music playing in the background. The prices are high, but this is Atlantic City and the overall experience was well worth it. This is a great restaurant overall and it has my full recommendation."

"So glad to see a new restaurant open in Bally’s! You had me at Meatballs and Martinis! Definitely check out the martini menu. They have awesome drink selections. The calamari is spicy but we found you can ask for it to be made without the peppers. The meatballs were definitely worth ordering too!"

"You absolutely must visit Longo's when you're in Atlantic City. The atmosphere is great, especially on the weekends when they have a late-night DJ. The food is phenomenal in my opinion. I've been three times so far and I haven't had a bad meal. The crab spaghetti and carbonara were great. Large portions! Their Manhattan is also dangerously good! Oh.. and the chocolate brule and Italian donuts are also really great! Go see for yourself..."

"Food and service were AMAZING. We had the best time at Jerry Longo's this weekend! We tried every single appetizer on the menu lol and they were all super tasty. Literally have nothing but praise for this establishment. The meatballs were everything they advertise and I had "Life is Beautiful" martini's which were so good I asked for the recipe before we left . I would recommend Longo's if you want a true Italian experience. The music, the ambiance, the movies on the screens around the restaurant... Everything was on theme. Loved it. Highly recommend."

"We discovered Jerry Longo’s Meatballs & Martinis about 5 years ago and have been a regular at least once a month ever since. It’s located in Bally’s Casino offering double the fun on a night out. If you are looking for GREAT Italian food look no further! Of course spaghetti and meatballs and martinis are their specialties. All their martinis are great, but we particularly enjoy their 9 Streeter. It’s a secret recipe that includes: Lemon italian ice infused with botanist gin, grey goose melon vodka, italicus liqueur, citrus, agave, and lemon bitters. For appetizers, we enjoy fried calamari. For entrees our favorites are: Veal Milanese, Eggplant Parmigiana, Salmon Romano and their Bronx (Pepperoni) Pizza. While the food is most important in any restaurant, the ambience is a close second. There are several large screen televisions that play old Italian movies from the 50s and 60s with music from the same time period. The lighting is low and romantic. The service is second to none! Jerry Longo’s is the closest to a night out in Little Italy that you will find. Try it, we hope you will like it, as much as my wife and I do!"

"I want start off by saying the food my hunnie and I had was amazing. The food was seasoned really well. The environment was comfortable and upbeat. The decor was nice and delightful. Our server, Jason, was amazing. He provided great service and on point getting everything we need. Everyone greets you with a smile and great conversation. I felt like I was at home. Whenever you go there, ask for Jason if you want all of your needs met. He went above and beyond. If your man watches sports, they have plenty of televisions."

"Food is excellent, service is good. Really enjoyed the Chicken Parm the first trip and the Gnocchi Sorrentina on the 2nd trip. Only issue is that they play the music so loud on Friday and Saturday nights, you can't have a normal conversation while dining. Dined there on two Saturday nights...May 29th and June 19th. No difference in volume after letting the server and the manager know of our displeasure on the first trip. Knowing they have had plenty of feedback since then, We figured they would have corrected the issue but no. Obviously, they want to set a "club feeling" to the place which would make sense after 10pm when they have dancing. Makes no sense during dining hours prior to 10pm."
