I am orginally from atlanta, ga and I spend most of my time in nnj since I moved to the new jersey area . However , atlantic city is a must see on my bucket list ...any good Italian restaurants in the AC area that are open pretty late ?

Carmines in the Tropicana.  Not sure how late they are open

Thanks so much for the recommendation
