Albertino's Italian

My wife and I went to Albertino’s for our one year wedding anniversary after a friend of hers recommended it. We had such a great time. A family owned and operated restaurant in my eyes is almost always better than a chain when it comes to service and hospitality. These folks are very passionate about what they do and the service they provide to their guests. They have the whole bloodline there with a smile on their face. To start off, I am Italian and grew up eating Burrata my whole life and at every restaurant, this was hands down the best that I’ve had. It was a perfect combination (I’ll share a photo below). We went during the cheese wheel special where they serve table side. My wife got it and really enjoyed it. I went with the fettuccine and shrimp which was not something I normally get but I’m glad I gave it a go. It was delicious. We ended the night with a large piece and chocolate cake and ice cream. Very happy overall and price was very reasonable. If you’re looking for good for in collingswood, check them out. We went on a Wednesday night and everyday was full by 6:45 so make sure you have a reservation. We will be back.

I’m part of a South Jersey food group on facebook. After hearing great things about this place I decided to try it out myself. For starters we got the artichoke heart in oil and garlic. The leaves of the artichoke was nice and crispy but it was a bit on the salty side. Overall it was still yummy. We order a basket of bread to dip into the oil from the artichoke appetizer. We went on a Wednesday night so we can try out their famous pasta toss inside a cheese wheel. The pasta was cooked perfectly. My own complaint with that dish was I find the sauce to be a little on the watery side. We also got the double pork chop. The pork was cooked perfectly. It was really tender, juicy as marinated well. The servers were really friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going back to try other dishes

Everything about this restaurant is a 10/10. Our sever Victoria was amazing and so sweet. The food is out of this world. Something about the comfort when dining at a family owned restaurant. Every recommendation from Victoria was spot on. Can’t wait to come back!

First timers, this place is Delicious- family oriented- amazing taste- friendly. Pork Chops were simply amazing. OMG. WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO DESSERT. The staff were as good as the good. 12/10. Chefs kiss!!

first off, Victoria is AMAZING!!!! so so sweet and took the time to explain everything about their family, restaurant, and menu! it was our first time so we obviously had to try the tableside cacio e pepe which was phenomenal and i got the seafood special and my boyfriend got the pork chop. everything was amazing and my boyfriend said it was his favorite meal we’ve had together (which is quite a few after 4 years)! also the ice box cake!!! most people don’t even know what it is let alone serve it at a restaurant, truly felt like i was at home in my mother’s kitchen. we absolutely will be back, i am in love with the small family business and friendliness of everyone. a 10/10 thank you for a wonderful meal and experience!

Exceptional! This exceeded all of our expectations. How can you not support a family-run restaurant that serves up such great dishes?! Best artichoke appetizer I’ve ever had; excellent tableside cacio e pepe; delicious beet salad with cheese and mint; maybe the best red sauce I’ve had outside of my own kitchen; perfectly-cooked salmon; perfect affogato dessert! No excuses not to go back.

We had the most incredible dining experience at Albertino’s Italian! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is genuinely kind, attentive, and efficient, and the food… absolutely phenomenal. I had the double bone-in Berkshire pork chop, and it was hands-down one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The desserts were all homemade and equally outstanding, beautifully presented and so delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting Maria and several members of this amazing family on Mother’s Day, and their hospitality left a lasting impression. You can feel the love they pour into everything they do. Albertino’s isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. We can’t wait to go back and bring friends and family with us. Highly recommend!

this is a hidden gem. i would come here every week if possible. the food is insanely good. the cheese wheel pasta is perfection. the porkchop is big enough to feed 3 people and cooked perfectly. even my kid who is picky ate ALL his food. the staff is so nice and they’re all family. i love it!

Wow! I was looking for somewhere that did the cheese wheel, wife's request, and I'm glad this place was recommended. Small, quaint, authentic, family, quiet-ish, intimate, outstanding, I could probably keep going but let me get to the food. Not a ton of seating so I would highly recommend a reservation. We started with a bottle of wine that we brought (BYOB), a basket of bread, and the Burrata salad app. They were prefect. I followed with the Caesar Salad and asked to add anchovies. The salad was amazing, dressing was creamy, egg based, and delicious. Omg, I'm still thinking about it. For entrees my wife had the Cheese Wheel, served table side, not just a fun novelty, it was excellent. I have never in 14 years seen her eat that much pasta and that fast. Our guests also ordered it as an app and raved about it. I had the pork chop entree, fantastic! The demi glace sauce with caramelized onions and panchetta, sweet carrots, creamy potatoes... so good. Our guests had seafood dishes that they said were so good as well. Dessert was delicious coffee and cappuccino with the ice box cake (yum) and an excellent Lemon cream cake (all made fresh daily). The service was top notch, all family, all friendly, all attentive. Prefect 40th birthday dinner for the wife. We will certainly be back. Check them out.

My family came here recently for a celebration. It was our first time here and it came highly recommended by my supervisor. So rather than going to one of our old staples, we decided to try a new place. We absolutely made a great call. The dimly lit restaurant seats about 30 or so and brings you back to a lovey Italian home with pictures and cross-stitch on the walls. It's definitely a family-run restaurant with mama making the rounds to make sure all is going well, poppa in the kitchen, daughter as wait staff with all the stories, and I'm sure there's others. Our eyes and ears were bigger than our stomachs today and we had plenty of leftovers for additional meals. We shared our appetizers and tried each other's mains and desserts. We were more than full. We had appetizers of the Caesar salad, eggplant Parmesan (special for today), the vegetable burrata, and the artichoke. Wow, wow, wow, and wow. The salad had the best light dressing that you couldn't tell had anchovies within but it did. The eggplant was lightly fried and had some really good gravy. My wife said she could eat 10lbs of it. The veggie burrata had a great drizzle of balsamic and the burrata itself was so creamy. It wasn't runny like I've had with other burrata. We also ordered the focaccia bread which came first. A wonderful bread with some olive oil. We were about to order a second one but glad we didn't. For our mains, we had two pastas. One was a rigatoni with pancetta crumble in a butter sauce, the other was a special of fettuccine in a mushroom sauce with shrimp. That was just divine. Some of the best pasta we've ever had. The three colossal sized shrimp were delicious. Our server said that not only is everything homemade, but many ingredients are imported all the way from Italy. Does it make a difference? We think it does! Even if it was just psychological, we were very happy with these dishes. We also ordered two servings of the Berkshire double-boned pork chop. This is a house speciality and saw plenty of tables being served this two inch thick piece of meat with a nice glaze and some mashed potatoes with carrots. We savored a little of each and took the rest of this outstanding dish home for another meal the next day. Had to cut off a hunk for my kid to take with her. Of course we had to go for dessert even though we were already full. We had the special blueberry cannoli, box cake (which is a chocolate/vanilla custard with Graham cracker crumble), and a "chocolate lava" cake with vanilla gelato. The cannoli flavor took me back to Maine and all the blueberry festivals I've been to. The filling was not heavy at all. I wasn't a fan of the lava cake but my wife loved it. The vanilla gelato was admittedly not made in-house but was quite good. We also had some of the strongest cappuccino I've ever had. Maybe a little more cream, please? Overall, we were so impressed and happy with Albertino's. On Wednesdays I'm told the place gets packed for the tableside pasta with the large cheese wheel. I bet it's quite the spectacle. We're going to be making a return. BYOB here, and everyone had their favorite whites and reds on the table. They surcharge 3% if you pay with a credit card, so save some money by bringing cash. It's street parking and you pay by app. Our meal came to $265 not including tip for bread, four appetizers, four mains, three desserts, and two cappuccinos. It was so worth it to take the trip over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to come to Albertino's.

Family owned Family run restaurant ... and it feels that way from the moment you walk it. Beautifully decorated. I wanted the cheese wheel table side experience but they do not offer that on the weekends. I will go back for that. We ordered the dish anyway as an appetizer so the whole table could share and it was very good - cacio e Pepe con tartufo. Everything we ordered was delicious. The tuna was cooked perfectly and paired with a light and refreshing salad. The fettuccine was amazing with the shrimp and mushroom sauce. The calamari was tender in the appetizer but not a fan of the mushrooms in that dish. Overall a wonderful meal. Friendly service which was very good in the beginning of the night but as the evening went on and the more crowded the restaurant got the slower the service became. We had an early seating which was lovely not too loud and not too busy but by the time we were finishing our meal it wasn't the same.

The food was exceptional, but even though we had a reservation for 7:45, had to wait outside in the heat on the pavement, and we were not seated until 8:25. We had driven over an hour to meet family there for dinner and did not get our main courses until almost 9:30 . The restaurant was a sauna inside. The fan was set to 81 degrees. We were baking. The amount of time in-between courses was super long. Not sure we will return. We did not get home until after 11:30.

This restaurant was amazing! We came here for our one year anniversary. We went on a Wednesday since they do the cheese wheel on Wednesday's and Thursday's. It was cool to see the pasta made table side. The Caesar salad, and burrata were also delicious. The chocolate cake came out warm with vanilla ice cream. This is family owned and they are all so welcoming!

Albertino's is a must make reservation! This meal easily falls in the top 5 I've ever had and I don't make that claim lightly. It's been a couple of years since we've dined at Albertino's and I'm not quite sure why because we loved it so much at our first visit. We decided to make reservations for New Year's Eve this year as my fiancé's parents have been wanting to try it. The NYE menu was pre-fixed at $100 per person and everybody was able to choose an appetizer, a pasta, an entree, and a dessert. Many of their signature dishes were included as options such as the Carciofi alla Romana Giudea (Jewish Style Artichokes), Costoletta di Maiale (double bone-in Berkshire style pork chops), and Cacio E Pepe served in their famous and popular cheese wheel. All of which are absolute MUST orders. The restaurant is small and reservations are a must regardless of the day, but it's very cozy and homey inside. I love the decor and the walls almost make it look like you're dining in an old building in Italy. There were two separate seatings (we chose the later one) and we never once felt rushed. The entire experience was relaxing and the courses were spaced out perfectly allowing for time to enjoy our food and company. The service was impeccable as each staff member we interacted with was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Albertino's is BYOB which is a major plus. We were started with house made focaccia and an antipasto that consisted of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and olives. For our appetizer, my fiancé and I decided to order the fried calamari and artichokes with the intentions of splitting both, and her parents did the same. Great decision on our part as the calamari was very tender and lightly fried to perfection. As I mentioned before, the artichokes are a must order. Also tender and beautifully presented. They're served on a plate with olive oil perfect for dipping bread in. The entire table chose another one of the most order dishes at Albertino's, the table side Cacio E Pepe, which is typically offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We all loved it and it was even better than I remember it being the first time I had it. The spaghetti was Al dente, it was creamy and cheesey, and the freshly ground black pepper added a perfect finishing touch. Just when you thought dinner couldn't get any better than the artichokes and Cacio e Pepe, Albertino's presents us with the stars of the show. The absolute BEST pork chop and Bronzino we've ever had. A double bone-in Berkshire-style pork chop that had a to-die-for crust and was melt in your mouth tender. I was speechless and don't know if I'll ever be able to look at any pork chop the same again. I asked my fiancé to describe what she loved about her Bronzino and she said: the outer crust was great but it was soft, juicy, and tender underneath, it was seasoned very nicely, and was finished with a refreshing lemon/citrusy flavor. Miraculously, we still had room for dessert. My fiancé's dad and I both got the grilled peaches in a brandy brown sugar reduction, my fiancé got the double chocolate ganache cake, and her mom had the tiramisu. I'd venture to say the peaches are another must order as I've had them before and loved them both times. I'm neither a peach fan nor a dessert fan but they're just too good to pass up. Everybody enjoyed their dessert which I wouldn't have expected differently judging by the quality of the rest of the meal. I can't believe it's been over two years since we've dined at Albertino's. We couldn't have asked for a better all around dinner experience, especially on New Year's Eve. The atmosphere was upbeat, the service was great, and dinner was elite level and was worth every penny. Whether you've never been to Albertino's or it's been months or years since your last visit, this reservation is a must make for your next night out.

I caught a feature on Fox 29 a few weeks ago and made a reservation for Albertino's. I have been trying to catch a place with the famous Cacio e Pepe "Cheese Wheel." My luck didn't allow it until Wednesday, 11/27. We had a 5:00 pm reservation and entered the establishment around 4:50. We were the first diners there, so we had a short wait. We were seated and greeted by our waitress. She shared the history of the restaurant and advised that Albertino's was a family run establishment. Her dad was the head chef, sister was the sous chef and mom made all of the desserts. Needless to say we were excited for our experience. We started with the buffalo mozzarella. It was one of the specials. The mozzarella was stuffed with crab meat, capers, and topped with a balsamic vinaigrette. For entrees, I went with the Cacio e Pepe and my partner had the famous pork chop. Our appetizer arrived promptly and we devoured it. The crab and mozzarella were delicious. The capers and vinaigrette paired perfectly with the cheese and crab. Next up, our entrees. The cheese wheel was pulled up to our table and we got to see how the dish came to be. I enjoyed the experience and couldn't wait to taste the dish. At first glance you would think the pasta would be heavy, it wasn't. The fresh pepper and cream were so airy and light. The pasta and sauce were flavorful. I didn't think my plate would be so full, but it was. My partners pork chop was massive. I asked for a piece and it was juicy, tender, packed with flavor and just simply delicious. He didn't have much to say bc he was too busy enjoying his dinner. We wrapped up the evening with full stomachs and happy hearts. Thank you, Albertino's. We plan to revisit you guys again soon.

I am confused by all of the reviews and had to write a review. Staff and owner were very nice but everything else went downhill from there. Food was average at best. Portions were small very small entrée list and the entrées were between $40-$50 which did not come with bread for the table salad or soup or any extras. I have been 200s of Italian restaurants and I've never been to one that doesn't at least give bread for the table. This is crazy. Ordered the pasta Alfredo wheel definitely below any type of expectations. Use plain spaghetti and try to kill the taste with black pepper because the taste was just not there. I always hate to give bad reviews to small Italian restaurants, but I just could not help myself with this one. The other meal we had was below average as well with small portions., the other meal said it came with jumbo lump crab meat, which was four little morsels of crab, which had a fishy taste and was definitely not lump crab meat. The veal was tender, but the only thing you could taste is olive oil so disappointed the appetizer we had was average at best as well won't be back.

I can't believe tonight was my first time here. A friend had been wanting to bring me here for a while and I'm so so so so so glad. Wed/Thurs if you want cacio e pepe. So delicious. I'll be dreaming of it and I know it'll be one of my cravings. The apps were good. My husband loved his pork chop dish. And their desserts are wonderful. Ice box cake is a must if you're not sure which to go with first. Our servers were great. We were able to have a lovely conversation with the owners and I realized why the whole dinner experience was so satisfying. Their work is all out of love. You can sense the warm comfort in that space. Thank you for a lovely meal!

First time visiting this lovely restaurant! From arrival to exit, the whole experience was warm and delicious! A warm welcome by owners daughter and she was super friendly Wonderful dinner choices and definitely something for everyone! The artichoke appetizer was fabulous and so authentic, we loved it. Dinner was delicious and I was HOOKED and knew they were getting five stars as soon as I saw my dinner was served with polenta! Delicious salmon special! Thank you for a wonderful dinner. If anyone hasn't been, definitely go!

Family owned business in which everyone who works there takes great pride in all aspects of the restaurant. The service was great and the food was amazing! I loved that our server shared her favorite recommendations with us. The pork chop was the biggest chop I've ever seen and well worth the thirty minute wait that is listed on the menu. Desserts were also on point-I especially enjoyed the strawberry shortcake but the bun that our server's sister made was excellent as well. We will most definitely be eating there again!

It's a quaint family-owned BYOB that makes you feel like family as soon as you sit down. So, an A+ for the atmosphere! We started with the Caesar salad, which was a good size, not overdressed for a change, and fresh and crisp! My husband ordered the antipasto salad (app), and he wasn't crazy about it. He said the salami wasn't high quality (his words, not mine) and didn't feel it was worth the cost. I ordered the spaghetti with bolognese sauce, which was incredibly good, and a large portion. Two things that I didn't like...I was frustrated by their limited pasta options and was insulted they made me pay for bread, which was $5. Bread should be accessible in an Italian restaurant. For those reasons, we won't put this on the top of our list.

I was looking forward to our reservation at this seemingly beloved, family owned restaurant. We love to support small business and I really thought this would be the first visit of many. The hostess was kind, and she seated us promptly. From there, the rest of the night went downhill -- fast. First, our server did not greet us for nearly 15 minutes. She introduced herself as a daughter of the owner, went over the menu and said she would be back. We asked to put in our appetizer order because we were famished. And off she went. We didn't see her for another 10 minutes. She had no recollection of our appetizer order, so we placed our order again. She started walking away while we were still ordering. We were surrounded by other tables with servers who were friendly, engaging and checked in with their guests often. Unfortunately, this was not our experience. Our server visited our table exactly four times; once to greet us and take our appetizer order, a second time to take our order (and our appetizer order again), the third to drop the check and the fourth to take our credit card. As for the food, my entree was dropped to the table 15-20 minutes before my husband's table side meal was served. By the time his meal was served, my food was ice cold. He enjoyed his table side pasta prepared in the legendary cheese wheel. My dinner was collected from the table mostly untouched and no one asked whether everything was okay. Not the experience we expected. And while I firmly believe in second chances, we were also charged a mandatory gratuity on our check, despite being a party of two -- restaurant policy states parties of five or more are charged a gratuity on Wednesday and Thursday nights. I spent most of the night wishing we had been seated at any other table.

Awesome food and family!!! Pork chop was the best I ever had...was amazing, you won't regret ordering.

We had a reservation for 3 people. Unfortunately, my friend could not make it. Instead of sitting us at the table we reserved, they put us at small table against a wall. We asked to be moved and was told with an attitude we had to sit at the small table.We started we Antipasto and Gamberi. The Antipasto was pretty good. The Gamberi not so much. Two medium sized shrimp with 4 pieces of calamari. My dinner Fettuccine Mare was good but 2 medium size shrimp and a couple mushrooms were not worth $28.00. The desert for $10.00 was small bit tasty. The place is large hallway in a cellar type atmosphere. Adding to the experience was that they automatically charged a 20% tip to the bill!!!!. No one mentioned this. Try Fiore, Sapori, Villa Barone, Kitchen Consiglere if you are in Collingswood. The food is just as good if not better.

Wonderful service. Treated us like family. Food is authentic. Fantastic artichokes. Best cacio e pepe I've ever had. The restaurant reminds me of restaurants in Italy.

This has got to be the worst food I have ever had along with the worst service. For the price I would have rather gone anywhere else. Staff was not friendly at all and if it's an anniversary dinner don't expect them to do anything special for it even though you told them. Also a 20% will be added to your check regardless. Place is small and stuffy. Don't waste your time. Go somewhere else...literally anywhere else. Worst "Italian" food I've ever had!!! Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Full disclosure - I haven't been able to make a reservation and THAT is the reason for the 1 star - because I can't give a zero. To make a reservation, you have to put in your cell phone number - not a problem as I do it with Resy all the time. HOWEVER, the confirmation SMS never arrived, I tried several times across several days. No luck. I also emailed the restaurant and received NO ANSWER. 2 weeks later, still no response to my email but I now see that they have a "reservations temporarily down, please call" notice up. I may try again but then again, with so many other restaurants to choose from - is Albertino's worth the effort? Based on the other Yelp reviews, Albertino's is either great or dismal. We wanted to try it based on a recommendation from Saverio at JuneBYOB who said Albertino's "is fantastic". I'll try again in a couple weeks - and I will update this review at that time. Albertino's - if you're going to make it, you have to do better.

Service was not good, the veal was overcooked and when we quietly asked about it, the server (Not our server). Loudly admonished our guest, stating they buy the best veal. She embarrassed our guest. A very disappointed experience.

Our Favorite restaurant in Collingswood! The minute you walk in you feel at home .. such a wonderful ambiance. The family owned restaurant has such a wonderful atmosphere and the dishes are all so delicious!! Save room for the homemade desserts also . Service is amazing and the staff is mostly all family that make your dining experience even more special. My favorite restaurant in South Jersey and the BYOB is a plus .

If I could give 10 stars I would. Must make reservations. Family owned n operated n. BYOB!!! From the moment u walk in u r treated like family. But let me tell you about the food, we start with the arugula salad, their homemade bread is unlike any you have ever eaten. My favorite dish is VEAL ALBERTINO, sautéed veal on top of angel hair in a delicious sauce I wanna say a very light cream sauce. Hubby always gets the fish of the day!! Which is cooked awesome. It's mom, dad, 3 daughters, n a granddaughter. The deserts, ready to go to heaven omg every last one is incredibly homemade. LOOKING FOR A GREAT ITALIAN RESTAURANT THAT NOT ONLY MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE UR AT HOME BUT IN A SMALL VILLAGE IN ITALY. Tell them John n Joanne sent u. You will get the best seat in the house. But reservations are must. TONTHE GALELLI/ROMEO FAMILY AWESOME JOB. GOD BLESS ALL OF U!!! Joanne John Phila pa...

Food was good. Here is what was un-acceptable. They add a 20% Tip, not advised. They appear to overbook. ( Seated 40 Min. after reservation time ). Never offered dessert, or coffee. Very small, and not inviting at all. Here is a suggestion. Avoid Wed. & Thursday. 90% of patrons, order the Cacio e Pepe. They have one cheese wheel, and they really can't handle the order volume. They claim it is prepared table side. Not true! it is prepared, and then wheeled to the table, and served. I doubt I will return.

This is not your normal Italian restaurant. This place is like going into someone's home. The staff were super welcoming. We were seated immediately when we arrived. The ambiance is very much like a restaurant in Italy. The food was fantastic. The burrata and roasted peppers were delicious. The cacio e pepe lived up to its reputation. The star of the meal was the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare. The sauce tasted just like my mother in law's. It was to die for. The dessert was a good finishing touch. Great job

The food here was great and the staff was super friendly but I wouldn't go here if you don't have 3 plus hours worth of time. Our reservation was at 8, it took an hour to get our appetizers, the table next to us sat down well after we did and got the same appetizer we did and they got theirs way before us, we have a huge family so we're used to waiting since it's a lot more people to accommodate, but still it's not like we ordered more of it than they did. Plus there was a chunk of hard plastic in ours, I added the photo of it next to the knife handle. We didn't get our entrees until 10pm, 2 hours after we arrived even though we were told it was going be out shortly 40 minutes before that. We wanted to try the dessert but decided against it since it was almost 11pm by the time we had finished eating dinner and we didn't want to be there all night waiting for dessert. The food was very good, but I don't think I'd go back with a big group again, it would probably be better for a smaller party. We were all ready to fall asleep on the table by the end of the night. I'd probably go back with just a couple people though, it's definitely worth checking out if you have the time.

When Wednesdays feel special, you know you're doing something right! When I heard about Albertino's and their Wednesday table side cacio e pepe I knew I had to try it as soon as possible. Tonight was the night we were able to make reservations and eagerly looked forward to our dinner all day. From start to finish Albertino's impressed. We were warmly greeted at the door and brought to our table where there was a short wait for our server to arrive. She explained the history of their restaurant- family owned and operated, her father is in the back cooking, her mother makes the desserts, her sister makes the bread and family members are all around serving. The best focaccia I've ever tasted was brought to the table with olive oil infused with herbs. The focaccia was impressively fresh and flavorful. Crusty top, soft fluffy middle and a hearty, crunchy bottom. For appetizers we shared the artichoke and charcuterie board. The charcuterie board was tasty and fresh with two meats, two cheeses, olives, roasted red peppers and pickled eggplant. However, the clear star of the show were the artichokes. They were broken down so that the entire portion was edible. The leaves were golden brown and crispy, the middle and stem buttery soft. They came drenched in a garlic olive oil which we immediately used the focaccia to sop up. Phenomenal dish. I will dream of those crispy, garlicky artichokes until my next meal at Albertino's. For our entrees we both had the table side preparation of cacio e pepe. Creamy, salty, spaghetti heaven. Our server offered us red pepper flakes imported from her father's home town in Italy. How could we say no to that!? They were much different than your typical red pepper flakes. They were plenty spicy but had a whole unique sensory experience when they hit your tongue. It tingled with flavor and heat. Delicious! For dessert we both had delicious and strong cappuccinos. We also tried their famous ice box cake and grandmother's lemon ricotta pie. The ice box cake was perfect. Flavorful and creamy with nice texture from the graham crackers. The ricotta pie was short and dense. It reminded me of the filling of a traditional Easter pie/grain pie but without the grain. Simple and tasty. The meal was paced perfectly and took 2 hours total. The restaurant is small and narrow but does not feel overly crowded. Lighting and decor added to the ambiance of coziness. Highly recommend! My fiancé and I will certainly return. It is the best meal we've had in a long time.

Dried out gummy Alfredo, worst service ever! Eat anywhere else. When I asked about beeron tap the server told me he doesnt sell beer. We arexsitting 20 feet from the bar. No drinks for us then.​

Nice little spot in Collingswood. Had all the appetizers. The Carciofi alla Romana Giudea (artichokes) were very good, crispy and tender. The Caesar salad was unique, not like your typical restaurant Caesar and I make a good homemade dressing but this one was solid (tasted heavy on the eggs and I detected more fish flavor other then anchovy, it was very good) Fettuccine Mare e Monte was very good. Robust mushroom taste, thick sauce thst clung to the pasta The pork chop was the best dam pork chop I have had in my life!!! It was flavorful and hot throughout. You could literally cut it with your fork If you haven't gone and you are in the mood for good unique Italian check it out.

From the moment you walk in, you feel like family in this family run restaurant. Dad is cooking, mom is the hostess, the kids are waiting tables...the inside is inviting and warm. Make reservations for the nights they do the cheese wheel. We opted for the appetizer of it, so we could taste the other offerings from the chef. The pasta cheese wheel was delicious! Add the truffle to compliment the cheesey goodness. The linguini frutti de mare was awesome. Seafood and pasta done to perfection. The ribeye steak special was amazing. And leave room for dessert...a peanut butter cannoli! BYOB

This place is incredible!!! Small restaurant BYOB first time here was recommended from a close friend and I can't even say enough good things about it. I wish I had a picture of my pork chop because it was the best thing I ever ate my life.! You may have to wait a few minutes past your reservation. It's a very small restaurant and some people just don't want to get up from the table which happens everywhere - that's not the restaurants fault they were very apologetic and kept saying we're sorry. That's people just being ignorant. You cannot lounge around especially in a BYOB they need to turn tables over people are just rude The whole family is in the kitchen the mother of the father of the daughters. Every single thing is homemade and fresh to order! This place is just incredible. I can't even say enough good things about it but don't walk there, RUN!!! 10/10

The food was great and the service amazing! Make sure to bring a big appetite into this cozy, Collingswood gem. You won't be disappointed.

Went for the first time and all the food was great. Had the Cacio e Pepe Cheese Wheel entree portion. Lived up to what I was expecting, presentation of the preparation tableside did not disappoint. Artichoke appetizer was unique and absolutely tasty. Had to try dessert and we got the vanilla/chocolate pudding with cookie dirt was soooo good. Highly recommend!

I loved this family run Italian restaurant! The food was delicious and the Christmas decorations were beautiful! We ordered the artichoke hearts for an appetizer since it was recommended. Normally I do not like artichokes, but this appetizer was amazing! Their home made bread was also super warm and tasty! We also had the gnocchi, shrimp & mushroom fettuccini. All of the dishes were very good and we are excited to come back soon!

We are new to the are and trying out new restaurants. After reading such great reviews I bookmarked it on yelp. Made reservations on their website which was easy. Restaurants is cute but space is limited. We went with our two elementary age kids, which I do not recommend to do. It's not a kid friendly as in there aren't kid menus and the waitress wasn't too happy to see two kids. Waitress made us aware that everyone at the table had to order an entree but this time they are making an exception; Which we appreciated. It's an adult kinda vibe which would be great for a date night. The food is mediocre. We ordered Cesar salad and bread that took forever to arrive. Table next to us that sat after us got their apps first even though we ordered the same things. I was hoping she would bring over the bread at least since the kids were so hungry. Entrees are overpriced and underwhelming on the taste. I ordered the chicken limon which was over cooked, old and overwhelmed with rosemary. Other dish was linguine frutti di mare which didn't have much taste and was skimmed on the seafood. The worst part was that we were rushed out of the restaurant. A patron waiting pointed to our table to the hostess to give them our table. Hostess immediately came over cleared up our table and said,"you don't want any dessert, right?" She had not come to the table the whole night as we waited for our food or service but as soon as this fellow came she was ready to kick us out. Although, we didn't want dessert only because I was tired of waiting it was just rude to get rid of us. It's just unacceptable. I'm not sure if that would have been done to any white patron in the restaurant. So, obviously we will not be going back.

We dined at Albertino's during their soft opening for my wife's birthday. I made the reservation with Maria via e-mail and she got back to me quickly with a confirmation for our party of seven. Albertino's has taken the spot once held by Indya. Indya has mover over to the space that used to be home to Woksabi. The dining room is rustic and charming old world. Albertino's is a family owned and run restaurant and we truly felt as if we were eating at their house. Mara and her sister were our servers. Her father is the chef and her mother prepares the in house made desserts. The chef even spent a little time with us after dinner and showed us some family pictures. By the way, the food was great! Covid protocol was followed by the staff. Everything is made to order so relax and enjoy Albertino's,

Was not impressed. They present as a unique experience but don't serve that experience. The food was hit or miss across our group of foodies. Making the reservation was difficult. They argued against allowing my parents to be seated before the rest of their party arrived, although the restaurant did not fill up during our stay of early dinner. You must view the menu on your phone by scanning a QR code. That's fine for a bar but not an expensive restaurant. We were locked in to a pre fix because of the size of our party, and the waiter might have mentioned to me that the same salad I ordered as an appetizer also came with my entree. I wound up with two of the same meal. Our party ordered veal that was served hard and dry. They argued with us about the veal. They offered me a dessert, but later retracted it. Overall they talk a big restaurant game but delivered a novice experience

I would go as far as saying the pork chop was one of the better meals I've had in a long time. It was, nothing shy of incredible. Is it summer in the garden state and accompanied by 3 measly slices of zucchini when they are nearly giving the produce away all over the state ? Yes - no points removed for that - but when I shared my picture it was brought to my attention. Had I got this dish alone I'd go 4.5/5 and let it be. Ordered artichoke from appetizer menu - very good. Reminiscent of Jewish Rome and tasty. Bread from the house also - very good. Quality oil. Got the Veal Albertino - veal medallion dish with crabmeat and I would say it was very forgettable, rather skimpy, and overpriced for what it was ($38) Crabmeat seemed a far cry from jumbo lump. Would not recommend this dish and if you are so inclined to order veal medallions, I'm thinking you have better options in walking distance. Albeit, probably just the wrong dish to order on what was a rather small menu Ambiance was cool yet tough to compare to the other places in town. Staff was friendly and emphasized they are family owned. Nice. I will be back in the future likely to mix up the dishes a bit.

If you go with 6 or more people they charge you $65 a dinner even on a weeknight! Dinner is not worth it.

Wow! It's difficult to find an experience such as the one you'll have at Albertino's! Family owned, hard working, knowledgeable wonderful people who make the most AMAZING food! The Calabrese salad was the best I ever had, and I don't prefer to eat salads! The pork chop and the salmon were primo! The bread was so delicious. And the pasta in the Locatelli cheese wheel (Cacio e Pepe) was the best part of the night! Re Re worked so hard at perfecting the entree! If you haven't been here, you are missing out on a unique dining experience, with a wonderful family!

We went here for my boyfriend's birthday Friday night and we are still dreaming about the food two days later. The service was absolutely amazing and the scenery was so beautiful. I loved all of the different artwork on the walls. Our waitress, Monique, had the sweetest personality and an impressive memory. She recited the whole menu without skipping a beat. She recommended the bread basket, which was to die for. I got the arugula salad and it was one of the best salads I have had in a while. Our entrees were even more delicious than we could have imagined. I got the eggplant parmesan while my boyfriend got a seafood linguine. Last but not least, the dessert we decided on was the strawberry cheesecake. This cake was homemade MADE by the mother. I wanted to swim in the filling of this cake. My boyfriend didn't hesitate when it came to devouring this cake. This beautiful family owned restaurant definitely made our top favorite list of new restaurants to try. We will definitely be coming back. I have a date with that cake

A true mom and pop family business. A real gem in the South jersey restaurant Mecca of Collingswood. The little 50 seat place is run by a Calabrian family with the husband (chef) wife (hostess) daughter (chef 2) and the other daughters (servers). The food from the minestrone soup to the homemade desserts were excellent. the rack of lamb cooked perfectly. their signature pork chop was HUGE melt in your mouth tender. Homemade gnocchi outstanding. This place is a must!

This family owned and operated spot channels their love and passion for food though delicious dishes and A+ service. One of the daughters served us and gave a nice summary of the family's history in the food business. Can't wait to go back!

Very good service, family owned and operated. Delicious and worth the reasonable prices for the quality.

Delicious food! Friendly service. Artichoke appetizer done well. Pork chop cooked to perfection! Cacio e Pepe yummy.

We had such a fabulous time at Albertino's. Table side cacio e peppe wheel was amazing, not to be outdone my the appetizer specials, deserts, service and ambiance. If you've ever been to Rome and loved it, you'll feel like you're back there for a short time at Albertino's. Do not be in a hurry, everything is made to order by the family. Enjoy the time and experience.

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Collingswood!! Last Sunday, nine of us were here to celebrate my husband and son's birthdays. Since this was the first visit for most of us, our server explained that the restaurant is family owned with the parents and sister in the kitchen and the rest of the family working in the dining room. From beginning to end, everything was wonderful! We started off with several orders of burrata, artichokes and the charcuterie board. Entrees consisted of gnocchi, cacio e pepe, fettucine mare e monte.. But the highlight was the Berkshire pork which is a double bone-in style chop served with carmelized onions and pancetta. I had brought in a birthday cake which they kindly cut and served. Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a wonderful evening. Can't wait to return!!!

I really was rooting for this place, the concept of a family restaurant with authentic Italian food sounds great, but unfortunately our dining experience matched a lot of the bad reviews We sat down had bread and artichokes which were good. The rest of the appetizers came an hour and a half later. The waitress apologized for the delay and said "you're next" which translated to wait another half hour wait. The cacio pepe was good, but not worth a ninety minute wait The mains were mediocre, the bolognese was the star of the table, the chicken limone was over cooked, chewy and most likely old. The flavor was completely overpowered by the rosemary. Hoping they get their act together, but for me it's a hard pass. Poor service, food and way overpriced.

I've been here two times. My first experience was with a group of friends for a birthday. We were seated promptly and the food was very tasty. Service was great and the place wasn't busy. We all had leftovers to bring home. My friend commented that the bread was delicious. The second time, I came with my fiancé and it took 30 minutes to seat us (yes we did call ahead). I immediately noticed that bread was not included and there is an upcharge for it. All food on the menu seemed pretty overpriced as well. Food was very good but I got only 3 pieces of shrimp as my entire meals protein. Devoured the entire meal and my fiancé and I both felt hungry after. Gratuity is also included on the bill. Service was slow. Restaurant was extremely loud and we couldn't even hear each other talk. The table next to us was very rowdy and brought liquor to take shots. I would recommend this place on a slow night.

Absolutely loved the entire experience! The food: authentic homemade Italian The decor: cozy & intimate The atmosphere: it's like having dinner with family Growing up in an Italian household gives me a deep appreciation for this family run business. One of the owner's daughters ( 3 of the daughters work there) Victoria, was our server & she couldn't be more welcoming & warm. This is the closest you will come to going over an Italian neighbor's house for dinner as their guests. We will definitely be back to visit Maria (owner-mom) & her family!

We came for dinner and was very disappointed in the service. We had to wait a long time to receive our food and felt ignored. Usually when you go to resturant the bread comes with your meal but at this one everything is a La cart. We probably wouldn't be back. Not a fan.
