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. read more

Best pasta dish!! I've had it table side and from the kitchen and there is a difference! Table side hands down is the way to go. Beautiful decorated for the holidays. The veal dish was okay but nothing I would order again. The only thing I didn't really like was they adding the tip for a party of two. Didn't feel that was necessary. Nor did the waiter explain to our table that there was a set menu option for a set price. read more

My husband and I dined here for the first time and it was wonderful. The restaurant is nicely decorated and very intimate. I recommend making a reservation as seating is limited. Our server was incredibly friendly and made sure we enjoyed our meals and visit. Portions are large and you can taste the authenticity. I ordered the cacio e Pepe and my husband ordered the special of the evening. Food came out very quick and our dishes were presented so beautifully. Our favorite meal was dessert. Hands down the BEST cannolis we've ever had! The crust was light and flakey and the filling was so smooth and full of flavor! My husband and I will definitely be coming back. read more

After much thought I decided to write this review. We had a party of 4 on a very, very hot Wednesday night for dinner. We had reservations and upon arrival we were seated next to the kitchen which had only a curtain for closure. We immediately noticed how hot it was in the restraunt and sitting right next to the kitchen made it more uncomfortable. Not long after we sat down smoke from the kitchen surrounded our table to the point that our eyes were burning and tearing. We spoke to the waitress and mentioned how hot it was and she stated that they had a repairman for the AC that day. We decided to try and bear with it. It was not crowded at all only a few tables filled and the service was extremely slow. It came to a point that we couldn't take the heat or smoke from the kitchen and asked for another table which they accommodated us and we moved. During the course of this 3 hour dinner we stepped outside or retreated to the restroom for relief of cool wet paper towels I brought to the table. That being said the food was good but not great. Upon receiving our check for $295.00 we were told they comped the $5.00 bread basket charge for our troubles. However, they added a 20% gratuity charge to our 4 person bill without letting us know. Clearly on their website it states 6 people or more an automatic 20% will be added to the bill. For this reason alone we would never go back to this restaurant. We found this very sneaky as well as taking away our ability to choose a fair gratuity for a 3 hour long, horrendously hot, and unbearably smokey meal. The sad thing is we were going to give a 20% gratuity anyway. Thank God we noticed their sly move they pulled. People who dine out frequently are aware of the 6 or more gratuity charge this is the first and last for our table of four. Albertino's you need to change your Website as this is false advertising. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Adorable, quaint Italian restaurant. It's really small, so definitley recommend a reservation. Everything from apps, entrees to desserts was freshly cooked and delicious and the entire staff were so friendly and accommodating including the bus boy. I can't wait to go back and try their cheese wheel, sad they weren't doing them the night we were there. read more

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. read more

Went in with high expectations and felt it fell short. Entrees are high end pricing and ala carte.

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! read more

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. read more

We love the family restaurant where you feel like family once you enter the restaurant and you are seated. The ambience takes you to Italy and selections of delicious homemade dishes. Service is both friendly, informative of all the dishes offered and not rushed. The fact it is a BYOB allows you to choose your own wine. I only wish I could give it a 10 star review! If you want an evening out to a fabulous family run restaurant this is a must. I know you will enjoy it as much as we always do read more

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.

I was really looking forward to this place. Both my sisters were jealous my bf got reservations on Valentine's Day and said how great this place was. Well...for starters $100 prefixed meal which I get (in the restaurant business so is my bf and that's a smart move on their part) but the antipast was mozz and olive and tomato on a toothpick...no meat. That was the first disappointment. Had to ask for water and bread twice. Granted it's vday so they're busy. This is my first ever review so also want to point that out. Cesar salad was drenched in dressing. Out meal was delicious (salmon and osso bucco). Yea def get the ice box cake like everyone recommends but for $100 a plate it was not worth it. Especially being BYOB. Going home extremely disappointed. On top of it they automatically put the 20% tip. Again from the restaurant business so I get that. But food was not exceptional or the hype read more

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. read more

This is the second time I have been to Albertino's. The first was very positive experience so I brought 2 friends who had never been there. We were seated at a table practically in the entryway. When the waitress (daughter of the family) came over and we were not ready to order yet, she told us she had to get the order in!!! VERY RUDE! When we received an appetizer (pizza like) and couldn't cut it without hacking it up -- we asked for them to cut it and she said that is what the knife is for!!! REALLY!!!! I will not be returning to this restaurant again. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 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, read more

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 read more

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.

All of the dishes were very good and we are excited to come back soon! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Albertino's Italian - Costoletta Di Maiale. Incredible. Few extra slices of vegetable probably wouldn't have hurt given it's Summer in the garden state. - Seafood Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

Albertino's Italian - Cacio e Pepe - Seafood Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

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! read more

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 read more

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 read more
