50 Best Italian Restaurants near Maple Shade

“Love the Spiedino de mare, I get all scallops. Thanks Carrabbas for the birthday tiramisu....yummm“

“SAL and JOES is the best homemade Italian eats outside of South Philadelphia. Large portions, great service, homemade soups and entrees. 5 STARS!!“

“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.“

“Parking: Went there for lunch and had a cheesesteak and fries and it was fresh and delicious. Then later on that night we got panzarottis and we did delivery, food was excellent and hot when delivered. The delivery person was awesome too.
Definitely recommend 👏❤️“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“I have been to many course meals, but this is the top 5 best restaurants I have ever been to. Philadelphia is so lucky to have Elma. Amazing food, incredible service and hospitality. I was reminded of childhood meals and reveled in the incredible blend of flavors and textures. I will absolutely be coming back to dine at the incredible Elma.“

“Excellent Bolognese and Tiramisu!“

“Came here on the weekend but in the middle of the afternoon to celebrate a birthday.... Nice clean restaurant, tables fairly close but still roomy enough.The servers did a great job and the food came out surprisingly fast, which was nice.
We thought that the casesar salads were excellent. The romaine was fresh and a nice dark green and the croutons were a great texture, not too hard.
The eggplant and ricotta sandwich was very good, especially the cheese which has a fantastic texture!..the only criticism being the roll could have been larger to fit in the contents of the sandwich. We were blown away by the Prov Pie (upside down) and thought it was one of the best pizzas we ever had (we're Philly natives and all over age 60, so that must say something!)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome Place to host your Family and Friends. Management goes above and beyond. A perfect support when entertaining Veterans as well. We were treated Royally on November 10. Thank you Mario, Liza and Staff. Happy Thanksgiving“

“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’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.“

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

“Wonderful Italian family restaurant. Went for our 43rd anniversary. We changed the number of people when we got there and they were very accommodating. Food was excellent. We started with appetizers, fried calamari with marinara sauce for dipping, they kept coming back and apologizing because they were cutting fresh calamari and we said no problem! It was fantastic! Also had shrimp with broccoli rabe and canelli beans, also great.
My main course was Costa Smeralda, Veal sauteed with crabmeat and mushrooms in a lobster sauce. And a side of Pasta Puttanescca both delicious. Portions were very generous and we were so full we skipped dessert! Definitely recommend Fieni's Ristorante!“

“They have so many different foods to choose from. All of their hoagies are yummy! And they sell all different kinds of meats, cheeses, olives, salads, etc.. we love them!!“

“Parking: Yeah they had a nice big window with a big flat screen television with the eagles game on it so sitting in my car and ate our sandwiches as we watched the game it sort of reminded me of being at a drive-in movie atmosphere only we were watching Eagles game.“

“You can feel the love in their families delicious homemade Italian dishes! Loved the experience of Albertino’s ❤️“

Rene and all the employees are so kind and welcoming! The food is always great and I have loved everything from there. Pizza, chicken cutlets, sandwiches.“

“Food was very good. Disappointed in portion size for price $35 dollars for pasta seemed a lot for this amount“

“Food is great, service is great..owner/chef is personable and really cares about his patrons..place is quite small so plan ahead

Parking: There is a very limited amount of parking in the lot, the street offers a vast amount of parking in front or on the side“

“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!“

“We went to Illiano Cucina Mediterranea for our graduation dinner. We had reservations for 20 people at 4:30 but we had a small family emergency. That being said I was able to call and move our reservation to a later time and we were still able to celebrate my son and niece's graduation with family and friends. The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly and the fact they were able to still accommodate us after our emergency was awesome!! Anyone looking for a great place to eat I highly recommend them!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“The food was excellent!!! I was there for a 40th bday party and we all ordered different foods and everything was amazing! The food came out quickly and our server Eloise (sorry if misspelled) went over and beyond. It was a lot of us and she served us without any attitude, went above and beyond making sure our food and drinks were good and she was just absolutely pleasant. There was about 15 of us and we ordered a lot of food and our bill was way cheaper than we expected. We did go at lunch but the dinner prices were not that much different. I’m not from the area but I know that everytime I’m out there, I know where to go for Italian food!“

“Paula is awesome!!! After a terrible night at Mitchell's Steakhouse next door, please see their review in parentheticals (Let's see, where to start, well Mitchell's supposedly has a dress code, but you really couldn't tell by the amount of people who were wearing hoodies, sweats, and the amount of loose women wearing cat suits and ripped up jeans. Taken from your website, Mitchell's Steakhouse enforces a strict upscale dress code. We do not allow beachwear, gym attire including sweatpants, sweatshirts or hoodies. Athletic apparel, jerseys, hats, beanies, bandanas, ball caps, oversized or baggy clothing, tank tops, and sleeveless shirts are prohibited. No excessively revealing clothing will be allowed. Clothing emitting offensive odors is not permitted to be worn anywhere on the property. This is not a true statement nor policy. Considering the fact that the gentleman at the next table over went outside and smoked marijuana and came back and sat next to me smelling like a skunk. Then there's the service aspect. I honestly could have eaten a full meal across the street in the time it is taking to get my filet, 72 minutes and still counting. Finally, having to wait almost 28 minutes just to have a refreshment, doesn't speak to any award winning experience that I've ever had. Terrible experience especially when you claim to be the best offering award winning experiences. UPDATE: Serving cold food was the literal icing on this cake. As Gordon Ramsay would say your food was trash, your service lacked direction, and your chef needs to return to a culinary school to learn. Waste of time and money. McDonald's serves hot food, perhaps you could start there.) There's their terrible review I left, Paula and Due Amici made up for Mitchell's disaster by exemplary service, delicious authentic food, and an absolute passion for making their customers feel right at home. Don't waste your money by going next door and seeing a trollop, come and enjoy a great atmosphere and beautiful, friendly, and warm people with a welcoming and inclusive feel.“

“Food is very tasty ? there is also a wide variety of options ,however, often times more than not the cashier's attitudes stink if the customer is of a different hue , or if he or her has the look and demeanor if a street person ( prejudgment) tht in turn creates an uncomfortable interaction between business and customer all of this is unbeknownst to the owner !!!

Parking: It's paid parking up the street however if it's a concert thts even bad“
