This brand-new concept from Buddy Valastro’s Restaurant Group will offer guests a tempting array of Jersey-style sandwiches, a diverse selection of pizzas, an innovative new pasta station, and of course, Valastro’s iconic desserts and cakes fresh from New Jersey’s own Carlo’s Bake Shop.

Buddy’s Boardwalk Empire is the latest creation by celebrity chef Buddy Valastro and is set to become a popular favorite in the outstanding lineup of dining offerings at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City.

Taking the very best, most popular items from their respective menus, restaurant-goers can expect to dine on the popular Jersey Roast Beef focaccia-style sandwich and bakery pizza from The Boss Cafe, while enjoying watching house-made ‘mutz’ made daily before their eyes; enjoy hot-from-the-oven East Coast pizza with unique flavor profiles from PizzaCake; and be transported to the boardwalk with a variety of Italian fair favorites from Jersey Eats. Unique to this location, guests can also dine on a variety of fresh pastas.
