“Just had Montegrillo cater my client event. Everyone raved about how good the food was, especially the eggplant parm. Would highly recommend.“

“Very pleased and impressed with the decor, service and friendliness on our first visit. I judge a restaurant's food by the quality of their fresh salads, if not clean, then I go no further. The salad was clean, fresh, crisp but a bit overly salted, for me. We devoured the Margherita pizza which was SUPERB! Crispy, chewy good flavored crust, the red sauce was excellent, could use a bit of evoo drizzle and a few more slices mozzarella, for my tastes. Can't wait to return for their pasta and dessert offerings.“

“We had the most amazing meal on Mother’s Day at Albertino’s Italian! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented as each dish was crafted with care and bursting with authentic Italian flavor. The desserts were equally impressive, a perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive and efficient without ever making us feel rushed. Their genuine hospitality added so much to the evening. Albertino’s is a true gem. We’ll absolutely be back! Paul“

“I’m a SJ native and have been going to Scotto with my girlfriend for about 5 years. It is hands down the best pizza around. We will drive well out of our way to get it. It’s a travesty that all of these “best pizza” lists don’t choose it as it should be better known. Look at the reviews.

If you want brick oven pizza or a fancy sit down, yes that is not here. But Scotto is the place to get the best pizza.“

“It was a new place, so we decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and sandwiches were so good. I got The Guido and tried a bite of my mom's Nonna's Special. The fact the ingredients are fresh certainly helps. I'll definitely order from here again. I dug their vanilla cream soda as well.“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Nunzio’s this evening for a work gathering. Every course was excellent! I cannot wait to bring my family back. The food was fresh and delicious.“

“Lovely atmosphere, very good food and our Waiter Nick was wonderful!“

“The homemade pasta is really excellent. The texture was perfectly toothsome. I got the cacio e pepperoncini (vegan option) and it was quite good, though the sauce wasn’t my favorite. It felt very oily and I’m not sure if that’s a product of veganizing the sauce. I loved the tangy spice of the pepperoncini though.

The shishito peppers were good, but fairly standard blistered peppers like I’ve had at many other restaurants. The almond / mint sauce was quite nice though.

The plates are generously portioned.

Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian options that are clearly labeled. They also have clear labels for dishes that can be made vegetarian or vegan.“

“Great cocktails, delicious food, and overall great atmosphere“

“I had a delicious lunch meal with my family. The bread was a great start to the meal. All of the dishes were delicious and so was the dessert. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Our waiter was lovely & gave great suggestions.

We hate across the menu. I had the Costa Smeralda with veal, but the favorite at the table was the ravioli di aragosta - we asked the waiter if the carrot sauce would be super vegetal and he described it perfectly. So happy we got it.“

“Great dinner and great service. I had the crab cakes and my partner had the Rib-eye special both were outstanding. Worth every cent and we can’t wait to go back!“

“I have only had the bar pie with extra pepperoni but as a PA transplant that has been searching for a good pie I have found it!!! Absolute gem of a pizza and I can’t wait to try other things from them.“

“Wonderful service - outstanding food (the Penne Arribratta was one of the BEST pasta dishes I’ve ever had anywhere). Friendly owners - we can’t wait to go again!“

“This past spring my family and I took a roadtrip out east and after spending a day in Philadelphia watching the Union (MLS) we ventured into NJ in search of some local Italian eateries. It was a Sunday evening and not many establishments were open however we were fortunate Vitale's Italian Bistro was the exception. Warm welcoming staff greeted us, prompt and attentive wait service, and delicious food in abundance! It was a wonderful evening and a fine way in capping off our 10 day east coast road trip!“

“The staff are cheerful and on their toes. My veal parm was a gargantuan portion. All our dishes were authentic and savory. Our bartender, Angelo, has a warm and fun personality - very helpful.“

“I ordered a Johnzarotti with extra cheese extra sausage extra green peppers Iforgotthe onions. But still excellent very tasty hats off to the Chef who has been there since I was a child in the late 70s early 80s. Back when they wr near the location of the current bank in the shopping center see picture below johns bought it from a family who used to sell burgers. Every time I have a Johnzarotti it brings me back to simpler times what a great comfort food ty for continuing to serve our community.“

“I came all the way from North Jersey and had stopped by for a quick dinner with my family. The Cesar salad was so good and I’m not a big fan of salads. I had the chicken parmigiana with gnocchi and OH MY GOODNESS! Bless the chef it was delicious and so filling. I had to take some home to make sure to have some the next day. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I love the atmosphere of the place.“

“We just had our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration at Marco's. Can't say enough about Lexi, who coordinated our event. She was so attentive to all our needs and made things so easy for us. The food was fantastic and I asked my guests and everyone raved about the food. Joe and his waitstaff were "The Best". Everything went so smoothly. Check them out. You won't be disappointed!

Tonight we had an anniversary dinner and it couldn’t have gone better. They know how important service is to their clients and it is their number one priority with a close second being there incredible food, which is always so impressive.

This is the Cherry Hill place to go when you want the meal to be perfect and the service to be Top notch! Thank you Amici for your focus on every detail.“

“Carollo’s little Italy is awesome everything we have ever gotten there is great. All the chicken, pasta and seafood dishes are great. We Also love the mussels in red sauce and the bruschetta was the best we ever had. The staff is so nice and friendly and do an awesome job.“

“Chris, our server, was excellent, making food recommendations and frequently coming to our table for follow up. We started with shared appetizers of fried calamari and whipped ricotta with fig jam and crostini. Both were delicious. My linguine with succulent clams in white wine and garlic/EVOO was very tasty and the portion size was plentiful, so much so that I had to take some home with me.“

“Super nice place and service and food was so delicious Everything was so excellent. I will give five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
