Cape May’s Culinary Gems:
Our trips to Cape May wouldn’t be complete without indulging in delicious Italian cuisine at Sapore Italiano (located at 416 South Broad Way, West Cape May). This restaurant offers a taste of old-world Italy, with recipes that bring back warm memories of my mother’s cooking. The atmosphere is enhanced by wonderful Italian music, making it a truly nostalgic experience.
Another favorite spot is Freda’s Cafe (located at 210 Ocean Street, Cape May). This charming cafe embraces a farm-to-table philosophy, ensuring the freshest ingredients in their unique and flavorful dishes. Despite its small size, the cafe boasts a quaint ambiance with beautiful artwork adorning the walls. The waitresses are incredibly helpful and provide excellent recommendations to guide you through the menu.
