It…read morewas only after the whole meal was over, and realizing that it was utterly awful that I felt directed to share my experience. My boyfriend and I sat in the bar area for a quick lunch on Friday. It was busy but not overly so. I got a drink that was decent. The service was also good but that's where the positives end. For a starter we tried the Hamachi Crudo. What came to the table was far from acceptable. Large hunks of tuna, some pieces with the white part of the skin still attached. It just looked botched. Bloodline and different sized pieces. You couldn't chew the white part so we had to cut it off. Then when we tried to eat it, it was full of pin bones. We picked out 4 pieces with bone. No real sauce on the plate. No flavor other than the chilis that were placed on top. One of the worst things I've ever been served. When our entrees came out first off, the French fries that we paid extra for were spare. My chicken avocado wrap tasted like nothing. It didn't have much chicken, I didn't notice any of the cheese or avocado ranch that was supposed to be on it. It was full of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. My BF said his turkey sandwich had no taste either and he wasn't sure it had what it said it should have on it. Very little turkey, undercooked, limp bacon and bread he said that was stale. Walking away we were just shocked. A bad course is one thing but every dish was just abysmal. You know it's bad when the people that were dining next to you grab you outside to see if your meal was as bad as theirs. I know, I should have shared by displeasure with staff but I'm so uncomfortable doing that. I don't need places to be perfect, I understand businesses have off days but this was a train off it's tracks kinda meal. I really hope Braddocks turns this around. But we will not be back.

The Italian restaurants in Haddonfield and Collingswood are among our all time favorite…read morerestaurants. The fact that these restaurants tend to be BYOB adds to their value propostion. (Note: It seems that BYOBs in New Jersey can sell bottled wine without a liquor license, meaning you don't have to bring your own if you don't want to. Tre Famiglia will sell you a bottle of wine they have in stock if you wish). We went to Tre Famiglia for Haddonfield Restaurant week because of the variety and creativity of their Restaurant Week Menu. (I hope this link works: https://trefamiglia.com/2026-restaurant-week/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQX6hVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETExUEs1ZFR5cnlQbWs4OUdZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHhWb5U_Ab0U6bD1QFqOxCW8_k7OfsW7Mu3womhaMCuz8gKu29YsyHkAXmRnP_aem_g-4Nva6oFciuK29x7P2Pzw). We both had the Grilled Caesar Salad with Shrimp. I enjoyed the Burrata with Roasted Peper Salad while my partner had the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. My partner enjoyed the Spicy Shrimp Puttanesca while I had the Papardelle Psta with Lamb Ragu. For dessert we enjoyed the Tiramisu (for a slight upcharge) and the Cherry Amaretto Gelato. Service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. Ambience is a family style Italian restaurant: warm and cozy.

We ordered the calamari, Trio di Mare, and the grilled salmon, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The complimentary house salad, fresh bread, and cheesecake dessert were all excellent and made the meal feel complete. The atmosphere is comfortable and perfect for a relaxing dinner with family or friends. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the restaurant charges a credit card service fee without informing customers in advance. A simple notice on the menu or by the register would go a long way in avoiding an unpleasant surprise at the end of an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, the food and ambiance make Cucina Carini worth visiting, and I would gladly return.

I rounded down instead of up because of my personal experience that night, but I could see that half star going either way. ANYWHO, Cucina Carini.....a local pizza shop that has an attached dining room that, while pretty small, is also pretty nice. BYOB, which we didn't know heading in, and unless we are missing something, the only beverage options are either water, or whatever YOU bring. (We weren't asked what we would like to drink, nor saw any beverage options on the menu.) SO, water it was, which was fine with ME anyway. ALSO, another thing not listed on the *dine in menu,* is that they DO have a kids menu, which consists of what you would think it does; chicken fingers, fries and the like. We sit and get to work looking over the menu. We land on crab ravioli for me, (crab meat, asparagus & plum tomatoes in a sherry cream sauce), potato gnocchi for The Misses (With spinach & bacon simmered in a gorgonzola cream sauce,) and the chicken fingers meal for The Little One. Entrees comes with soup or salad (soup for her, salad for me). Where CC is losing some points is on service. Our server was fine, but the kitchen was very mixed up. When we sat, our Little One was being a kid, so while getting her situated, we ordered all of the mains. About 5 minutes later, when the server brought the bread over, we asked to order an appetizer of fried mozzarella (which I assumed would be the fresh mozzarella, breaded and fried, but instead was the packaged Sams club type breaded sticks variety..the menu says "Fried Mozzarella, Breaded mozzarella, fried golden crisp & served with marinara sauce. Nowhere does it mention "sticks." *shoulder shrug emoji*). In rapid succession after that, the kids meal came out, and then, and I mean probably 3-4 minutes after ordering the mozz *sticks,* THEY hit the table. Still no soup or salad. The mozzarella sticks were made suspiciously fast. Maybe 15-20 minutes later the ENTREES hit the table. The server does recognize that she never brought the soup or salad, and offers to put them in To-Go containers. *second shoulder shrug emoji* The entrees themselves were good, not great. Decent flavor, but both dishes underseasoned. A little salt would have gone a long way. I had to add parmesan cheese, red pepper flake, and some salt myself to coax a better flavor out of my ravioli. The Misses's gnocchi also needed some doctoring to bring out some true flavor. The kids meal was a generous portion size, but then again, it WAS $13, so..... We decided to actually do dessert, as The Little One wanted cake, and I had seen a picture of the Peanut Butter Bomb, and absolutely wanted to try it. One bomb, and one Lemoncello Cake slice was the order. The Lemoncello cake was good, but again, lacking in deep flavor. You got a hint of lemon, then the rest of the bite was chewing on air. It speaks to the lightness of the cake crumb, but the flavor needs to be punched up. The Peanut Butter Bomb however; no notes. Delicious. Chocolate mousse on top of a peanut butter mousse, on top of a chocolate cookie type base, the whole thing covered in chocolate and peanut drizzle (?) and sprinkled with peanuts. Definitely the best thing I ate here. SO, all things put together, it wasn't a bad night. Service was a little slow, which was only really a problem because we had a squirmy 7 year old. I probably would have appreciated the pace if it were The Misses and I just sipping a bottle of wine. But, the kitchen course timings and mix up, plus the muted flavor of pretty much every dish knocked it down a few pegs. I could see Cucina Carini easily being a 4 star spot and a go-to, "our spot" type place, it just didn't get there for me on my one visit. It's a little far from us, but if I'm in the area, I would definitely give it another shot.

The server starts you off with a complimentary serving of peppers and onions in olive oil with thinly sliced crusty bread. I started with the clams casino appetizer which was hot and enjoyable, nice consistency of chopped clams, bread crumbs and seasoning The salad was next with which I ordered with honey mustard dressing which the server told me was not available. When the salad arrived I noticed the server went out of her way to top it with honey mustard dressing. I enjoyed the main course of a 6oz. filet mignon, which was a large enough slice for the number of courses served. Absolutely tender and delicious and as always a perfect medium rare. The meal was ended with a delicious creamy NY style cheesecake. The patronage is a testament to the value and quality of the food, always a crowded dining room. Wednesday night features a singing entertainer Always a byob which many of the patrons enjoy, which also adds to the value of the dining experience. This is one of the best restaurants in this part of south Jersey.

The food is still awesome. The Prime rib is great and if you love salad, the salad bar is so fresh. Truly worth the price. The only thing that I would say has dropped off considerably is the service. Used to be so attentive and great but now there always feels like a slight attitude. And I don't blame them necessarily as there always seems to be some table with old folks who just want to complain and be annoying. I also miss when they stayed open super late but I understand post covid things got too expensive to justify it. Overall do not be disturbed by the Yelp rating, it's great steaks and salad for a premium price.

The ambiance channels an old-school speakeasy with dim lighting, vintage charm, and a relaxed, intimate energy that sets the tone for a memorable evening. The service was adequate--friendly enough, though not particularly standout. For dinner, I shared the bone-in ribeye steak for two. The cut was impressively tender, moist, and cooked to a satisfying finish. That said, it could've used a bit more punch in the flavor department. A touch of garlic butter or an herb-infused glaze during the cooking process would've elevated it from good to unforgettable. The lobster mac & cheese was rich and comforting, and the salad bar? A true highlight. Fresh, well-stocked, and clearly curated with care, it's the kind of detail that keeps me coming back. I genuinely love the salad bar experience here. They offer a mix of daily specials which are set for the days of the week, alongside a solid set menu, which gives diners a nice balance of variety and consistency. Overall, it's a place with character and potential worth a visit, especially if you appreciate atmosphere and classic steakhouse staple. With an old speakeasy, feel dimly lit, just cozy.

It added a rich, buttery flavor with just the right amount of kick. My wife ordered the prime rib, and she absolutely loved it. It was flavorful, tender, and cooked just the way she wanted. Our server, Tyler, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome throughout the meal.

The scallops were perfectly cooked, the bacon was just right, and they were served with a horseradish cream sauce that complemented everything beautifully. We also ordered a tableside Caesar salad, which was very good and a nice touch to the experience. For our main course, we both ordered the 16 oz ribeyes. I had mine topped with black truffle butter, and my wife chose the espresso rub. Both steaks were cooked a perfect medium rare -- tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly as ordered. They were served with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans, which were excellent sides. For dessert, we shared tableside bananas foster and I had a cup of coffee.
