Pope's Tavern

"Excellent restaurant experience, really first-rate every time we go. Food is consistently delicious and never disappoints. Scott and Jean are wonderful hosts. Great authentic Italian recipes, fresh ingredients, well-sized portions, quaint atmosphere, very civilized and manageable size means you can talk at a normal level and hear all your guests. Love this place — my favorite restaurant on the Eastern Shore. Recommend without qualification."

"We were very surprised at how good the food is here. We split the linguini with clam sauce and it was so good I almost licked the plate. Highly recommended. Homemade pasta was perfect! We are going back again!!"

"Had the best weekend staying at the inn and eating incredible meals at the tavern. The owners Scott and Jeanne are friendly and hardworking and such an asset to this charming town. The dinner menu boasts amazing authentic Italian food including delicious homemade pasta that is light enough to keep you wanting more but hearty enough to satisfy you. Brunch was wonderful as well with some of the best fresh fruit I’ve had and amazing service. Will definitely be back for more!"

"I had the raviolis. The raviolis itself were really good. The sauce on top was a little bland. The tomato salad was excellent. They could definitely improve their bread. This tasted more like loaf bread when I was expecting an Italian crusty bread. The service was slow, but the waiter was working really hard and I understand that it’s still hard to get staff. I would highly recommend eating out on the porch. We ate inside finding it difficult to talk because they have a man singing who does his best but like I said, I would recommend eating out on the porch."

"I took a small vacation over to the east coast and had to stop by this amazing restaurant!! I had the fried calamari for an appetizer, the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken Parm and for dessert the Cheesecake. I don’t think I’ve ever been this satisfied at any restaurant before but this one checked all the boxes. The service was amazing, the food was all homemade which kept making me dig into it more even after I was getting full. The portions are generous. I couldn’t believe how tasty everything was. And don’t let me get started on the cheesecake…. To Die For!!!! Definitely not like any other cheesecake I’ve had before, you’ll have to order it to see what I mean. Everything was just superb. I will definitely be flying back to this spot!"
