“soup and cheese hoagie was great“

“Our go to pizza spot for years..the best pizza..“

“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.“

“Love the shredded sausage on pizza ,,,,wings are really good Nice people good food“

“Bravo! Dinner was delicious. This place is a gem.“

“We had our son’s rehearsal dinner here, everything was great . We Had Taylor , who did everything, she was by herself, due to someone calling out . She severed over 30 people from Appetizers to dessert all with a smile . She helped set everything up and was amazing . Great food and atmosphere! A super special shout out to Taylor , she’s an absolute ROCKSTAR!“

“Highlely recommend...Food was fantastic, service was dialed in, and atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. The star of the appetizer round (ciccheti) was the dragon tongue bean and honey nut squash, sauteed on a grill top with simple seasoning that showcased the fresh ingredients. For pasta we loved the stuffed farfale - basically italian roast pork with rabe and provolone in a well executed homemade sachet of goodness executed to perfection, decadent but not overpowering. We also had the lamb tagliatelle ragu, also excellent but tough to follow the farfale. Service was friendly, attentive and relaxed how we like it. Note... wines are Pennsylvania sourced from Wayvine, which we were not familiar with but were good not great. Especially enjoyed the dry reisling with the appetizer and farfale followed by the carmine (earthy) with the ragu pasta. We'll be back for sure...“

“We held an 80th birthday party at Verona. The service was top notch and owners beyond accommodating. The guests said they want to come back! The clams casino is my favorite. The outdoor seating is great.“

“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.“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating my mother-in-law's 85th birthday at Michael Coastal Italian Grille during restaurant week. Our dining experience was exceptional, marked by unparalleled food quality and exquisite presentation. The owners treated us like VIPs, ensuring a truly memorable evening. The beautiful birthday display and dessert they presented made the evening truly unforgettable. The impeccable white-glove service left us thoroughly impressed, and we cannot praise the experience enough. My mother-in-law was profoundly grateful for the special birthday celebration. We eagerly anticipate our next visit!“

“The service is good but the busers are aggressive when one person is still eating you might want to tell your Hispanic buser not to come and interrupt the meal to clear plates away when the dining room is nearly empty that's why we don't come on Christmas Eve they damn near throw us out“

“Such a hidden gem! I love this family owned restaurant. The inside is super cute and cozy, and everything we tried was amazing. The gnocchi was definitely one of my favorites and so good! I also loved their desserts specifically the tiramisu and the pumpkin dessert. 😍 You can really tell there’s a lot of care put into the food and the overall experience.

Such a great little spot and definitely somewhere I’d come back to!“

“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!“

“Finally decent pizza in Collingswood! After shopping on the avenue, we stopped in for lunch. Honey got a gourmet “Chicken Marco Polo” pizza and I opted for a Sports salad, loaded with fresh grilled chicken and really enough for two people. We have been to the Montegrillo’s in Pennsauken but this is closer to home with the same great menu“

“Giumarello’s Restaurant was delicious! The martinis were great. Appetizers: crab stack with mango salsa and avocado or saffron mussels with shrimp, Yumo! Entrees: Miso glazed sea bass or filet with stuffed lobster tail both Devine! Dessert: Chocolate heaven flourless cake and salted carmel creme brulee were heavenly 😋 Our waiter Griffin was wonderful and very knowledgeable, especially since we needed gluten free options. Highly recommend and will be going back!!“
