About Us
In 1993, brothers Mark and Dan Stragapede had a vision to create an casual fine dining experience dedicated to excellence on Long Beach Island. Their creation became known as La Spiaggia, which translates to “the beach” in Italian.
A Mediterranean style ristorante, it is located at the base of the Causeway in Ship Bottom. The cuisine presented by Chef Daniel is imaginatively presented and the dining room is artfully adorned with elegant, decorative touches.
In past years, La Spiaggia has received a “Best Undiscovered Restaurant” award from NJ Monthly Magazine and the prestigious DiRoNA Award.
