Windows facing the sand on every side, often left open to the boardwalk, wrap this restaurant inside Shutters on the Beach. Chef Vittorio's menu leans into Southern Italian cooking translated to the coast: handmade pastas next to fire-grilled seafood, grilled octopus, a Maine lobster club, ahi tuna, braised short rib. There's a seasonal cheese course too, and weekend mornings shift the room over to brunch. The dress code is smart casual, and valet parking comes free with dinner.
