Jersey Shore Italian Restaurant Named NJ's 'Most Iconic,' Report Says

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ — Italian restaurants are everywhere in New Jersey, and chances are you have your own personal favorite spot. But only one takes the crown as the Garden State's "most iconic," according to a new listing by Business Insider.

The outlet named "the most iconic Italian restaurant in every state," and New Jersey's is a hole-in-the-wall tucked away at the Jersey Shore.

Chef Vola's in Atlantic City is the state's most iconic Italian eatery, Business Insider said.

"Chef Vola's has been a hidden gem in Atlantic City since 1921, operating out of a small house in a residential neighborhood," the outlet wrote.

Reservations are required for a seat at the table here, and that's no easy feat. You can only do it over the phone, and need a credit card for booking. It's even harder during the summer season and weekends.

"The famously hard-to-book restaurant is known for classic dishes like veal Parmesan and rigatoni, along with its old-school, cash-only charm and loyal following," Business Insider said.
