50 Best Italian Restaurants near Haddonfield

“It's a hidden gem in Haddonfield NJ great date night ambiance. Food and dessert are amazing it's also a BYOB. Staff and service are great. I been coming for date night for years love the place. Always packed so reservations are a must.“

“There are a number of outstanding, topnotch restaurants in Haddonfield. They all offer great food, service and ambience. What sets Mare Monte apart, is that the placement of the tables allows diners to enjoy a great meal and engage in pleasant conversation without competing conversations from other diners.“

“We were early, but were seated and the staff was warm and welcoming. We were there for the Spring Early Bird Specials and the choices made it hard to decide, but we each chose different apps and entrees and each of us was delighted with our choices. We chose the same dessert and were very happy with it. The grilled salmon was cooked perfectly and the risotto was so creamy i could have had an entree of just that! My sister, it was her 89th Birthday, got the Gnocchi and said it was excellent, she almost asked for a doggie bag because it was so filling, so she opted for the Sorbetto for dessert instead of a cannoli. The sound level was quiet, the music was soft. More people came after us and the staff still acted as if we were their only concern! As senior citizens we don't like to drive at night, especially since we were coming from Marlton. We will be looking to do this again.“

“Fantastic sandwich! (Soprano) Best I’ve had in South Jersey so far! Fresh crusty roll, the chicken was flavorful and not weirdly textured like other places I’ve been to. Everything was well seasoned (I’ve had very bland pesto sauces before). Highly recommend!“

“The most solid place around! Consistently delicious every time we order and easily the best pizza in the area. We recently ordered from their Saturday Specials when we had friends over and it was a HUGE hit - especially their stromboli and chicken cutlets. We love Nocellas and can't recommend it enough!“

“We were driving thru Haddonfield and happened upon this great place. What a neat concept they have. When you walk in, they give you a card. They have several food stations: Pizza, Pasta, Sandwiches, Salad, and Soup. You go to the station you want and give the attendant your card, you tell them what you want. They enter your meal on the card. You sit til your meal is ready. Go to the counter and pick it up. On your way out you give the cashier your card which shows everything you ordered, and you pay. This restaurant is family owned. Very nice decor, very clean, nice selections of meals, friendly and efficient staff. Prices weren’t too bad, I ordered chicken Marsala. I got two large pieces of chicken in Marsala sauce with mushrooms and 2 sides. There was plenty of food on the plate. I highly recommend.“

“"Tony's! Pick-up or delivery?" That famous voice you hear every time you call! She (who is noted in several of these reviews) adds just the right touch. Oh, yes! The food! Very good...and many items are a bit more reasonably priced than other places. I've ordered 50+ times from Tony's, and never been disappointed. Special shout out for the pizza and wings. Very tasty!“

“Food = Service = Ambiance = Food was great and in keeping with the quintessential South Philly Italian restaurant fare. Our servers were fantastic and very attentive. The dining room was, unfortunately, extremely noisy and it was not conducive to conversation.“

“The service was phenomenal. The food, delicious. Best italian restaurant in Philly, the closest thing I've seen so far to an authentic italian restaurant in Philly (I stayed in Italy for 6 weeks). We got the tiramisu and gelato, and we got the carbonara and pappardelle al ragù. All of it was just so good. I wanna come back again, but I need to save up for it because it was very pricey. But worth it.“

“This restaurant is located on East Passyunk in South Philly. I love the ambiance and service was great. Meat and veggie platter was delicious. The platter also came with pizza dough which was surprisingly really good. I am also currently obsessed with their gnocchi, it has the perfect texture and the sauce was amazing. Will definitely come back!“

“Excellent meal. The artichoke starter -a special the night we were there - was fabulous. Waiter very pleasant and accommodating. I am on a low salt diet and they were very helpful with menu recommendations. It is nice to see the chef and watch him work.“

“I enjoyed dining at Her Place, I definitely felt like I was having a meal in someone's home. The restaurant is tiny and every table has a view of the kitchen. I dined by myself so I was placed at one of the two window seats. My back was toward the kitchen and I had to turn around each time the chef was describing the dishes. The menu wasn't something I would have normally chosen for myself, it was very seafood focused but it was all around tasty. The main dish was a quail and morels. My favorites of the night were the chicken liver pate with radishes and homemade Ritz cracker. They really did taste like a Ritz but much elevated. My other favorite of the night was the dessert: the rhubarb, cream cheese semi freddo, and meringue was to absolutely die for. You could really taste the cream cheese. Also notable was the sauce Americaine in the quenelle/lobster dish, I wanted to scoop it up and lick the plate. I see people complaining how it wasn't enough food since you had to share, I didn't have this problem, as I was solo and was able to eat full plates of everything. I enjoyed the final touches at the end, giving out cookies and a bag of Chex Mix. Bravo. I'd maybe come back if I were to travel to Philadelphia again. $120 after tax and tip.“

“My girlfriend and I decided to come in for happy hour and I’m so happy we did! The food and cocktails were delicious but we were really blown away by the service. Our server, KB, was incredible. She was on top of everything, knowledgeable, personable, and gave great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!“

“I was visiting Philly for the Broad St Run and wanted a pre-race pasta dinner. I had been scrolling through Instagram and found a highlight of The Victor Cafe and it looked delicious. I loved that there was a rich history and thought it was cool that some scenes from Rocky were filmed here. What I missed, though, was that the staff perform opera pieces throughout the service. I'm not familiar with opera but wow wow wow, those arias were incredible. My jaw dropped and my eyes teared more than once. The food was also incredible. I opted for a virgin version of a Paloma that my server suggested, calamari fra diavolo and broccoli rabe. It was the best broccoli rabe that I've ever had. 13/10 recommend visiting The Victor Cafe.“

“Hadn't been in years but glad to have returned. Started with house white wine and a cocktail for hubby. Shared their Caesar salad, then we each had a pasta entre: ravioli with butternut squash and linguin with clams. Also shared a mushrooms side and foccacia. All the food was delicious! Ended with sharing a cannoli and a cappuccino. Overall great experience in a romantic setting (2-person booths in the lower level) with an our wonderful server Rachel.“

“I was here in Philadelphia for work and I wanted to find a nice little Italian restaurant and I was NOT disappointed with Little Nonna's. First, they accommodated my friends wife and her wheelchair even though the restaurant is small. And the sign outside said they have the world's best garlic bread and you know what? THEY ARE RIGHT! Comes with fresh roasted garlic! Every dish was delicious, thoughtfully plated and absolutely perfect. We took Cannoli to go and I enjoyed it back at my hotel. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!“

“I ate at L’Anima for the first time last night … it was perfection from the service to the food preparations … I had the Bronzino which was so delicious … their salad special was excellent too … if you’re in Philly check this restaurant out …“

“The service was excellent. The food was also good, we enjoyed the tasting menu which had some surprising dishes such as the carrot & egg custard. The bread and nduja was also a nice addition. However, we spent over $800 between the two of us with tips included (with the tasting menu priced at $215) which I think is way too overpriced. The wines especially are overpriced, for 150pp I would expect more upscale wines than what was on offered. We ended up going with a Barolo instead which was more reasonable but still $170 for a bottle. For these prices, I would expect Michelin 1 or 2 star quality food, which it wasn't (as nice as our meal was). That said, the service was really good with our waiter being extremely attentive and considerate.“

“Cozy restaurant with a lot of energy. Hold off on eating the complementary bread because you'll need it for the outstanding mussel appetizer. Another must order is the orecchiette. One of the best pastas I've had in Philadelphia. The lamb shank was just ok. Unfortunately I just recently had it at another Philly restaurant and it was so much better. Barramundi which was a special was a huge disappointment. I've never seen so many things added to a fish dish to overwhelm what I consider to be an amazing fish. This is my second time at this restaurant where the entrees feel short. Stick to the appetizers and pastas. Service was outstanding.“

“My boyfriend and I came early on a Sunday evening hoping to get the sweet potato gnocchi special advertised for the weekend but they were all out. The Brussel sprouts and smoky rigatoni were very good. We also had the sweet potato soup which wasn't as flavorful as we had hoped.“

“Always great from the food through the cocktails (who doesn't luv Franky), atmosphere and attentive service! Even the parking lot shines! Shout out to Nicky for being very responsive, and enjoyable to talk too. Perfect for a special occasion or just to have great food. By far one of the top Italian restaurants in Philly!“

“Came here Valentine's Day weekend and it was packed! Luckily we had a reservation and this place is the perfect cute date spot. The interior and ambiance is amazing! We had a drink at the bar and then headed to dinner. The food was good especially the pizza but I think the drinks stood out - they were strong and flavorful.“

“The food is delicious at Via Locusta. I'd particularly recommend the agnolotti, which changes seasonally. Service is also good. My only complaint is that I really wish they'd add some sound panels on the ceiling inside to quiet the dining room down. It gets so loud that you can't hear the people across from you. We've generally had better meals outside than in the dining room for that reason.“

“Illata is truly the perfect restaurant experience. Amazing food and amazing service with the perfect ambiance. Everything wowed us but the chicory salad, tuna, and banana cream puff were to die for. Illata deserves every accolade! Highly recommend to everyone!“

“We have been getting take out from here for years but never sat inside to eat. We decided for our 1 year wedding anniversary that we would go here and it did not disappoint! We have always called the gnocchi "pillows of heaven." They are the absolute best! We also had the lamb which just fell off the bone and was so tender. And we definitely recommend the buratta for a starter. You can tell that everything is homemade including the bread. The service is also stellar! The staff is so attentive and so nice. We felt like family the whole meal. It's also a byob which is great to bring your favorite bottle of wine. I can't say enough about this tiny south Philly gem!“

“As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Osteria, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The venue's unique location, impeccable food, and outstanding service make it perfect for an intimate wedding. The guests couldn't stop raving about the food and drinks, which were a huge step above the standard wedding fare. Located in an area of the city close to photo ops, Osteria is gorgeous, especially at night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing time, and the dance floor was going off like crazy all night! If you're looking for a unique setting for your wedding, look no further than Osteria.“

“What an AMAZING and DELIGHTFUL shop!! The sandwiches were literally to die for! I got the Knucklehead on a Sesame Roll toasted and jt was SO good!!!! I went with my boyfriend! They played soft Sinatra music and the vibe was totally chill. The Host was funny and laid back and the food was impeccable! We didn’t even notice but the Owner was at a table in the shop and was so friendly! I literally felt like a welcomed guest in his home! He gave us free drinks on the house and gave us pointers on how to get to the concert venue we were going to!! Such great service! Adorable place to eat! Really happy we chose here to eat before a concert!!!!“

“Great Italian Hoagie spot in the heart of the neighborhood. The Chicken Cutlet is the real deal. They have just enough crunch to it on a worthy Philly hoagie roll. The people here- including owner- are warm and responsive dishin’ out these beauties. Pricing quite reasonable.Thank you guys for breathing fire into an area that needed a for-real hoagie spot.Now easily on the rotation.“

“I started my experience at the valley parking gentleman in charge, he was friendly, kind and patient. I walked in and it seems that the excellence in customer service is their currency in this restaurant. The service was excellent, the food was excellent, the order in everything they do was excellent and even the wine selection they had was excellent. I made a voyage into a dream place called Dante and Luigi's and I advise everyone to get his voyage there...“

“Picture the quintessential neighborhood corner sandwich shop of your dreams - this is it. This is the spot. Found it today and knew at first menu glance it’d be dope. The daily specials (kielbasa & egg sandwich, and Italian melt) were great and already thinking about the next ones I want to try (ex. The Bobby). Slaw, pickle, and Vietnamese iced coffee were great too!The place was happily busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon - line inside but I ordered ahead online since I was walking my dog, and their service was great — I literally stepped inside and within 2 seconds someone came out to greet me, I said I placed order, they said my name and handed me my bag and coffee.I don’t know what we the people of Francisville did to deserve Sandwich Corner Market, but my heart is full (and stomach)(Can you guys maybe make like, a little sandwich sample flight? Like 3 little sliders somehow? I want to try so many at once but can’t be slamming like 3 sandwiches and foresee myself stressing in the future over which 1 sandwich to pick per order)“

“We were twenty minutes late due to traffic but the host was more than accommodating. Our server Robert brought a lot of energy and knowledge to our choices. Branzino was excellent, the veal medallions very tender in a delicious gravy. Lemon cello cheesecake was a nice way to end the meal. We've never been disappointed eating at Bellini.“

“Ever since the new owners took over this place, the level of detail throughout the experience has really exceeded expectations. Every single pizza slice I've ordered here has been exceptional, their staff incredibly friendly and accommodating and I just can't think of a better pizza place in the area that offers this level of service. I highly recommend this place for any occasion!“

“LOVED IT HERE! Truly authentic Italian cooking, with authentic ingredients to purchase. The staff was so friendly and accomodating on their menu. We had to make a slight change in order for a vegetarian, and they had no issues. We tried their breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches, and each bite was jam packed with substance & flavor (I mean, just look at the layers in my photo.) Fresh ingredients, and an overall quaint/bright spot. This would be an awesome place to post up and get some work done, do some people watching, and enjoy delicious food. Not to mention, their baked goods looked out of this world. We wanted to get so much, but I landed on their passion fruit donut, partly because it was the last one left (so I figured something must be good!) And let me tell you, their dough is different. The donut was dense & fluffy at the same time, and their passion fruit flavor was y-u-m-m-y. I can't wait to go back to try more sandwiches and get some grocery shopping done!“

“Our first visit to Noir was great! TJ our server couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. The food was delicious! The arancini and the stuffed artichoke were awesome. All of our entrees were very good but the special Pork Chop was exceptional!!!“

“This is a fabulous local restaurant and if I lived in the neighborhood I would be there at least twice a month. I was hosting some out-of-town visitors and we enjoyed between the three of us, two plates of pasta and a caprese salad and it was more than enough food and we also enjoyed our red and white BYOB wines. Afterwards we went down a block Dirty Frank's on the corner of 13th and Pine for a nightcap which completed a full circle Philadelphia experience.“

“Fiorella is an excellent restaurant. The quality of the food, ambiance, and service lives up to the hype. My only BUT is a reflection on portion sizes, which vary greatly by dish. The ragú could feed a small village. It is a literal cauldron of pasta. The cacio é pepé is also a generous portion. Even the gnocchi, while a smaller dish overall, are jumbo sized and likely filling. Some of the other dishes and specials however are just as pricey but much less substantial. If you are dining as a group, this is not an issue. You can share smaller plates and fill up on ragú. As a solo diner, I wish I was advised in advance as my dish was impeccably prepared, but I left needing more. At least I was in South Philly so I could grab a slice on my way home.“

“I love this place BUTI love this place—the relaxed vibe, the incredible drink menu, friendly staff, and the Super Bock on tap takes me straight back to Europe.BUT I do feel swindled by the auto 20% with minimal/ no indication on the receipt.“

“Excellent BYOB restaurant. Authentic food. The experience of the 3 or 4 courses is just amazing. Great service and attention. I would only suggest (if possible) to offer a smaller plates option of the same menu. Portions are abundant, so be sure to be hungry hehehe.“

“Absolutely delicious! We were early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our server brought us a tasting of the rosé which perfectly matched our appetizers. Food was paced perfectly and we loved every single small plate and entree. Cannot wait to return!“

“We decided to make a reservation to try Anthony's for our anniversary last night and were very pleased! Our waiter, Brandon, was so friendly and made our experience a great one! We were seated right at the time of our reservation in the upstairs section. The restaurant was extremely quiet even with it being crowded. We started with the special strawberry salads. The strawberries were extremely fresh and vinaigrette and Asiago cheese made it very tasty! The complimentary bread and olive oil were very unique. The olive oil was some of the best I've had with a strong olive taste. For entrees, we had the pesto and burrata gnocchi and boar bolognese pasta. They were both AMAZING! We finished with the chocolate chip cake to share. This cake was extremely good as well and I am interested to see if you can buy it from them. We really enjoyed our experience and all of the food! We will definitely be back and tell all our friends about how great it is here!“

“Wow! Unbelievable experience. Great staff, ambiance, decor, chef, FOOD! The list goes on. I love the idea of this being member ship only as it's not accessible to just anyone, which makes it that much more exciting of an experience! I will be talking about this experience until I am lucky enough to get back again... 10/10! Love it!!“

“Where do I even start? From top to bottom, start to finish, this place is an absolute gem and a banger!It’s been around forever, I grew up going here and recently came back to the area and knew I had to stop in the see what was new….Ali, one of the owners, has some of the most outstanding customer service skills and his smile and charisma light up when you walk in. Nothing else like it. This guy is straight up awesome!!Omar, the other owner and Ali’s brother is in the back cooking up some of the best food in the area.I got garlic knots, pizza, fries, tenders and mozzarella sticks.The garlic knots are hands down the BEST garlic knots I’ve had in my entire life. No joke. Legit. And my standards are high / picky for garlic knots. They’re fluffy, pillow-like, chewy and PACKED with garlic. Tons of garlic and the texture is PERFECTION. If you like dry overcooked no flavor garlic knots that skimp on garlic, go elsewhere.The pizza is in my Top 2 and I’m very particular about my pizza….fresh, perfectly cooked, ratios of ingredients ideal and not too thin (I hate cracker-like crust pizza. If I wanted that, I’d get a flatbread) it had the perfect texture, chew and nice amount of cheese. Has a very very awesome unique flavor that’s hard to describe that I’ve never tasted before all the way through to the dough and the cheese is FRESH. These guys know what they’re doingOh and by the way, the tenders are hand breaded and house made to perfection. Nice and juicy, melt in your mouth fall apart just picking them up.The mozzarella sticks are also house made and you can tell they are fresh.These guys are charitable too, involved in the community and with donations.Literally everything about this place is amazing from the people to the food. I can’t get over how amazing those garlic knots are. I’m mad because now I have to go back regularly lol.Genovas is the definition of QUALITY!“

“It didn’t taste the same as how they used to taste to me. It’s been a few years since I’d been there. It was missing something. I remember the hoagies being so so good. I don’t know. But it just wasn’t mouth watering like I remember. Service was great. They were nice and friendly. But I’m not giving up that easily. I’ll be back and try them again.“

“Had a wonderful dinner experience here! Everything from the creative dishes to the cozy upscale vibe to the excellent service was perfect. We loved every part of the tasting menu and can't wait to go back! Also super grateful that they accommodated celiac dietary needs and made the meal fully gluten free. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: chef accommodated gluten free for celiac with advance notice“

“My husband and I went to Spasso for our 45 anniversary dinner. We have been to this restaurant many times and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, the portions are generous and the staff is friendly and attentive. This is one of my all time favorites.“

“Bacio Kitchen & Catering was a great venue for hosting an on-site dinner party! The price was reasonable for renting the space for 3+ hours. Chef/owner Robert was accommodating and met all our needs. The pub dinner served buffet style was very good-our guests loved it! We brought adult beverages, which were chilled beforehand and served to our guests. I would highly recommend Bacio’s!!“

“One of my favorite places in Philadelphia!Member’s only, been a member since they reopened.Superb cocktails! Amazing dishes, great food. Menu changes often enough and they do specials throughout the year for events. Top tier experiences there always.Wonderful staff and an intimate space.Don’t have any favorites to share as things change enough that what I post about might not be on menu next time.“

“It's been a long time since I've been to Sapori and definitely regretting not coming back sooner. The food was outstanding, from the bread and olive oil, to the fresh calamari, main, and dessert. Everything was great in terms of service and the waiter was attentive and charismatic. Heated patio was excellent and everything was reasonably priced. Will definitely be back soon.“

“Went to Home Depot to get some paint but was distracted by the smell coming from this place and had to stop in. Ended up getting the sweet sausage on a long roll, with fried onions, hot peppers and brown mustard. Delicious food, on point roll, friendly atmosphere and good prices. What more could you want?“

“Did the Porchetta dinner which you have to reserve ahead of time. It is a great value and lets you try a bit of everything. The Porchetta is served with tortilla like piadina which allows you to make the most wondrous little bites. Though called pork belly porchetta, this isn't some sort of unrendered fat glob that lesser restaurants sometimes serves. This is more like lightly cooked bacon that just slaps. If you have any self-control, try bringing some home for a crisped up porchetta and eggs breakfast.“
