Nunzio By Chef Michael DeLone

Food was good, but it took at least 45 mins to get our main dish after apps and we were 1 of only 4 tables being occupied in the restaurant. Will give it another try if I have the time.

A few friends got together for 60th birthday celebration , everything was as expected, the staff was courteous and efficient. We had an awesome time.

Went for a party, the food was horrible.
My salad must have been the bottom of the bag, it was brown, and wilted, other at the table actually had green spinach. Mine had none. The Salmon was so small. It looked like a piece of sushi.

The reservation was made for here in celebration of my 60th birthday. I haven't been to the restaurant in quite a long time so I figured it would be a great meal, as was in the past. I was incorrect in that assumption. I do have to say that the beef carpaccio appetizer was excellent! The mushroom soup was good as well. Cracked pepper would have been a great additoinal touch, but the server, Xavier, never asked if we wanted it on either food. I had to ask for the pepper.

The main meal choices were the seafood in a garlic butter sauce and the steak. The steak and side potatoes, which were creatively displayed, were both very heavily salted. So much so that it took away from the taste of the foods. It was defintely not worth the $58 price tag. The seafood was done to the liking of my friend, therefore I can't comment on that dish. The server never asked how our meals were, nor much of a follow up in simply scanning the table to check status of plates or asking if we need a container for any leftovers. He had assistance from another server and she was on her game, so kudos to her. He also never even said a thing about us being there for celebrating my birthday. It wasn't until my friend and I were leaving did the manager, or owner, not sure which, come up and said happy birthday to me and asked how our meals were. I did share that the steak dish being overly salted. Sadly, I don't think we'll be back.

Excellent food. Recommend the tasting menu.

We had such a lovely experience at Nunzio’s. We all wanted to eat at an Italian restaurant for our ladies night dinner. We were the first ones in when they opened, which gave us a chance to really enjoy the calm and cozy atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind and checked on us multiple times throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect.

We ordered mussels, the seafood platter, the half chicken dish, and raviolis—all of which were absolutely delicious. There wasn’t a single bite left on any of our plates! For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, and carrot cake. Every bite was sweet perfection. It’s BYOB.

I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxed and tasty dining experience. We already plan on coming back!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Nunzio by Chef Michael Delone. It was the perfect evening! The food was superb! Chef Michael is a culinary genius!! Perfection! Service was top-notch! The atmosphere was just amazing, and the vibe made the night even more spectacular! Anything we asked for was accomplished! Don't walk, run!! We are all going back for Mother's Day brunch!!

Do NOT sleep on making a reservation here, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Food is unbelievable, staff was extremely attentive, and the atmosphere is very quaint and relaxing.

The food was absolutely incredible. We went specifically for the pasta tasting menu offered on Wednesdays. We also got the calamari appetizer-the aioli type drizzle and fried olives were an excellent addition, breaded and fried perfectly (not too heavy). First course was a wedge salad-great portion & fresh. Second was a short rib & lobster pasta with lobster sauce-probably the best part of the meal was this sauce. We had to ask for more bread because it was just too delicious to waste. Third course was a French onion pasta-excellent as well & really awesome idea. Fourth course was a cheddar potato gnocchi which was a perfect balance of fluffy gnocchi & crispy potato. Finally a banana foster s'more's-incredible! This was also done table side & couldn’t taste the alcohol. It was also made with almost a French toast like bread. So so so delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try additional pieces of the menu in addition to many more pasta tasting menus. They should seriously consider making some of these options permanent additions to the menu!

Recently went into nunzios to try the game week dinner that my wife and I saw on their Instagram, and all I can say is wow!
We've been in a few times over the last 2 years or so, and have always enjoyed it, but we thought it would be fun to try something different and new.

1st course was chicken liver served with a duck meat fritter. What a way to start the meal! The fritter was fried perfect and delicious, and while my wife and I aren't normally fans of liver mousse or pates, we couldn't stop eating it!

Next was the wild boar with cavatelli. I love wild boar and this was spot on what I wanted out of a wild boar dish. The pumpkin cavatelli was cooked exactly how it should be, and worked well with the delicious pork flavor of the boar.

Quail was the next course, something you don't normally find in collingswood, and it was a Homerun. I especially loved the sauce , it coated the quail and had such a glossy look to it, delicious!

The main course was a hearty stewed venison with veggies. As someone who often prepares venison I've hunted myself in stews, I was especially excited to see how their venison would compare. I was not disappointed, they hit the mark on this on, makes me inspired to try my venison stew differently this season!

The espresso crème Brûlée to finish off the meal was something special, and complimented the entire meal.

While I'll obviously be back to have the regular menu, I'm going to keep an eye out on social media for these special menus going forward. we don't want to miss the next one!

We frequently had dinner at Nunzio's before the change of ownership. I'm on record then of saying "If you don't think Nunzio's is one of the two best restaurants in Collingswood then you're on crack". It was one of the best places in the area to go out for a great dinner and one of our favs.

However, the change of ownership and the post-COVID era have not been kind. We've been there (three times I think) since then. The first within a month after the change in ownership I think. We weren't happy and gave it a bit of time. We tried them again but were no happier and the disappointing "new" Nunzio's was off our list for a couple of years.

We started talking about trying them again just in time for my mother's birthday. She also was a Nunzio's fan pre-change of ownership. So we figured a good amount of time has passed, maybe they've gotten it together and figured it out.

This may come off fragmented as I'm going to skip over a lot of the chaos of a family dinner and focus on the things that I found most impactful as it relates to having dinner at Nunzio's.

Here we go.

They had the regular menu, a Sunday Tasting Menu which included choices for app, entrée, and dessert, and a Wild Game Menu that was fixed 5 courses. Three went for the Sunday tasting. My mother and I went for the wild game.

Here we will focus on the wild game selections as it's what I had and hence what I can provide the most insight on.

First course was good with a balance of sweet salty and umami. It made me hopeful and perhaps a bit optimistic for the rest of the meal.

Second course, or was it third (they flip flopped the pasta course to keep it in sync with the rest of the table which was cool, but the order, rather than building the palate, becomes irrelevant) was put in front of me and the first thing I noticed was that the sauce was broken and oily. You can easily see this in the pics.

Boar ragu cavatelli is easily remembered because it tasted like beef, and the cavatelli had a weird overly firm consistency, almost as if it were not cooked but even firm for that still. If I blind tasted it I would have said it was some sort of beef.

Main course Venison stew: the venison was dry and chalky. I guess venison is just too lean for the long cooking time of a stew. I don't know what I can say here except to ask: "Does the restaurant not sample this stuff before they put it on the menu, or do they actually think it's appropriate for a nice restaurant to serve this mediocrity?"

About here for the main course came the wife's chicken Milanese. I don't know what she got, it wasn't bad, but It wasn't the Milanese we expected. That may be due to what is normally seen as Milanese, or it may be liberties as "Milanese" is rather broadly defined.

The game menu stuck me as someone who tries to get away with putting small portions into a decent plating, try to be a bit fancy and hoping for the "check this out it must be good". Well, it was mediocre at best.

Service was really good and deserves commendation for dealing with my family.

We've been there three times since new ownership. It's not going to be four.

We stopped in Nunzios for dinner recently in Collingswood and man what a incredible experience. Every dish was presented beautifully and was seasoned to perfection. Each dish had levels of flavor and was executed flawlessly hats off to the chef. The decor inside the establishment is like your sitting outside dining how it’s designed. Its very cool and welcoming. Our server Tara was amazing she was spot on with everything and very kind and helpful. Overall we had such a great dining experience here and will happily be back to try new items on the menu. Definitely give them a try if your in the area you will not be disappointed!

We have been following Chef Michael Delone for years due to his exemplary culinary skills. When we found out he bought his mentor's restaurant, we were so excited to try the new menu. We've been there several times as Nunzio's has become one of our favorite restaurants. Some of our favorite dishes include: truffle gnocchi, any of Chef Mike's handmade pastas, the octopus, veal, arancini, zeppole, and more. His specials are to die for, all food is locally sourced from NJ farmers. Also brought people there for business dinners and they raved about it. Give it a try!

Vegetarian options: Chef will make something delicious once you let him know you're vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: Has accommodated my vegetarian daughter. Will also work with food allergies.
