I live in Haddonfield and we eat at Mare Monte regularly, most recently 6/15/23. The specialty is Italian seafood dishes. I always start with escargot and really like the seafood risotto. The daily seafood special is usually a great choice. My wife is a vegetarian and loves this place. So if you like great food and attentive service with reasonable prices this place is for you. Bonus - it's an easy walk from the Haddonfield Speedline station on Kings Highway. Mare Monte is a hidden gem check it out. Jim Conway read more

Wow! Hidden Gem! Sunday 6pm, not many people in the establishment, this had me worried, thinking it wouldn't be too good but on the contrary, we were blown away!. And a BYOB to boot, great find. Nice atmosphere and a very friendly wait staff made this a great experience. Arugula salad, delicious,cold & fresh with a buratta, prosciutto & roasted red peppers. Good size & satisfying. Then I had the squid ink pasta seafood fradiavolo, Awesome! Homemade pasta with tender shrimp, delicate calamari rings & flavorful mussels in a perfectly spiced tomato sauce. Good stuff right there! This all pared nicely with the mellow red wine we brought. Finished off perfectly with an espresso. Just a really good meal. It's a pleasure to post a good review. I hope you try this place. It won't disappoint read more

Oh how I wanted to love this place. The good - meat sauce on the pappardelle pasta was really good. It had a nice flavor, and mixing the ricotta cheese into it gave it a lovely texture. Portions were generous. Two of us shared one pasta dish and saved a full second entree. The not so good - the pasta was dense, so cooked al debate, it was tough to eat. The Diablo sauce didn't have enough spice - there was nothing wrong with the sauce, but it wasn't close to spicy. The cheese board looked like blocks of cheese were just broken by hand and thrown in a pan. We ended up putting it away until the next day's lunch so I can actually slice the cheese. It would have been nice if a small salad was included with entrees. Most local places do, and it breaks up the heavy pasta dishes. Overall, not bad, but competing with so many other good Italian spots, it's not going to be a return visit for us. read more

Such high expectations, presentation was sad, the Veal Mare Monte, (a signature dish), was far below diner fare, Crab cakes were bread cakes. Service was attentive, friendly but the kitchen needs help. Front of house can never make up for kitchen/back of house. Not a recommend. read more

Went for dinner on a Monday night. Made a reservation, but didn't need one, as it wasn't busy. Street parking was easy. This restaurant is right near the train station, so u can park there for free if no street parks. BYOB. Bread and butter is given for free. Ordered the octopus salad...very good. For entrees, had the shrimp scampi over thin pasta, and braised short rib with spinach papardelle noodles. Re: the shirt rib dish. Loved the noodles and sauce, but too much meat. Instead of short rib on the bone, it was kind of shredded. It was tasty and tender, but just too much meat for my taste. read more

Tried this restaurant for take out on a frigid pre-holiday evening when we didn't dare to brave the outdoors. We chose it simply because the delivery wait time was not as long as some local favorite spots, and are so glad to have discovered this gem! Our order arrived quickly and was piping hot, fresh and delicious. Everything we ordered was excellent, from the crisp Caesar salad with crunchy homemade croutons and a perfectly seasoned creamy dressing, to our incredible entrees of the risotto Mare Monte and the mafalde with crabmeat and scallops. For me, the standout surprise was an artichoke appetizer -- impeccably grilled Roman artichoke hearts over a pile of sautéed spinach glistening with a cheesy, lemony sauce and scattered with salty capers. I'll return for this lovely starter again and again. Looking forward to dining in at Mare Monte. 10/10! read more

This place is a Little Italy of delight. In the time of Covid it's still wonderful to know that you can find quality food restaurants that will deliver. I had a friend who stopped by to visit me and we wanted to get a good meal that was comparable to a dining out experience. This place popped up on my Grubhub app. What a nice surprise! There's a vast menu to satiate anyone's pallet. Appetizers to desserts, the food was a hearty portion and absolutely mouthwatering. This is definitely a date place if you're single. The price was very good for the amount of food.(An app and two full meals.) I will definitely order from them again. When the world opens up, I look forward to having a sit down meal for the full experience! Number one on my list of new places! read more

Absolutely amazing. From the unique dishes to the attentive staff! The Pappardelle (homemade) di Granchio was to die for especially followed up with their tiramisu and creme brûlée. Truly a dining experience, already can't wait to come back and show more friends/family this gem! And it's a BYOB :) - picture is of the Artichoke Burrata app special. read more

Where do I begin? The 2 stars go to the hostess and the bus boys. My husband, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and myself came to celebrate their birthdays. We arrived at 7:10. At 7:25 no waiter had approached our table. I went up to the hostess to ask for a wine opener so we could at least open our wine. At 7:35 a gentleman approached, didn't introduce himself and said "did you get a wine opener from the hostess?", to which we replied "yes, we don't have a waiter yet". He replied "yes that's me", and then just stood there. He was waiting for his wine opener!! Didn't introduce himself, didn't apologize that we were waiting 30 minutes for a server- just let us open our wine and took his wine key back, then walked away! We waited until 7:45 and then flagged down the hostess to order appetizers. 10 minutes after that the waiter came back and took our order. Still never introduced himself or apologized for the wait. Out of our table, 3 of us are former servers. We know what it's like to be in the weeds. We tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he didn't even acknowledge us. At 8:45 the food arrived. Bland at best. My brother -in-law ordered the Penne Medici, it arrived with not one piece of crab meat. I had the Veal Mare Monte it was flavorless. My husband and his sister had the Pappardelle Cavatore which was very good. The calamari, muscles, and grilled cheese were also good. The restaurant is extremely loud. The waiter never came back to ask us how our dinner was. We were very disappointed as we both paid for babysitters and were very unhappy with the service. My brother-in-law did talk to the manager/owner (?) who comped our meal. We weren't looking to get the meal comped, just to let him know about our experience. We won't be back. Kudos to the hostess and bus boys!! The only good part of our experience. read more

Made reservation thru open table for Saturday (yesterday) @ 6:45pm for 4 people. -I called before my reservation to ask a question and the hostess was very nice, she answered my question and told me if I needed anything before my reservation to call her back. -when we arrived she remembered speaking to me on the phone. She asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, my husband chose outside (excellent weather). - A young girl came and really quick gave us water. We told her we were waiting on 2 more people. -My brother and wife arrived, after about 10 minutes, the waiter came and gave us the specials and left us to look at the menu. -The waiter was very nice but he took so long to come back and take our orders. -Our orders came out timely. -The food: Bread came nice and hot. Appetizers *Bruschetta- it was good. I think I can make better at home. *kale salad-Husband wasn't wow. *Cesar salad- sister in law didn't talk about it, lol Entrees: *Chicken parmigiana-brother ordered this plate and I tried it and can't even remembered what it tasted like. It was blah! *Gnocchi allá Vodka- my sister in law- I also tried it and it was actually pretty good (honestly the best pasta plate we had that night). *Penne allá Romana- I ordered this. And it was supposed to be spicy and it was not. Half of the pasta was hard, it tasted a lot like sweet peppers. And I was bothered, I ordered just because the sauce was supposed to be spicy. *New York strip-Husband ordered- I tried it and the flavor with the peppercorn sauce it was good but meat not tender (medium well). My husband said that it was ok, he was certainly not impressed (and that's difficult since he loves anything food). It came with mashed potatoes and some other vegetable(I can't remember what it was) Our annoyance of the night was because the waiter took so long (thanks to the person who brought our food, he was more attentive to us that the actual waiter). My brother ordered a soda which came late and it was flat. The rest of us had waters. This is a BYOB place. None of us drink so water was good enough. At the end of the night my husband said to me "baby this time you didn't hit it on the spot with the restaurant (sad face)" LOL The bill came and the prices were very reasonable. I think this is an Italian restaurant own by Latinos, LOL. Why I think that? because Laura Pausini kept playing all night,(Same songs the whole 2 hours we were there). She's an Italian born singer that sings in Spanish and very famous in the Latin community. Brought memories. This restaurant didn't leave me with the desire ro come back. I didn't like the food. I was looking forward to eating at this place for a long time because of the great reviews. I am always looking for a amazing Italian place (my favorite food) but this place wasn't it. read more

Mare Monte - Penne allá Romana (no good). That portion left on the plate was the hard pasta portion. Was looking forward to the spicy sauce. - Italian Near Me - Haddonfield, New Jersey

Disappointing service -- our server didn't write down our order for 5 people and forgot our appetizer completely with no apology at all. They also started to clear our silverware and plates while we were still in the middle of eating, forks in hand. The kids menu pasta was covered in garnish that the kids wouldn't eat... and we waited forever for the check and a to-go box. Definitely won't return. read more

Such good food! Tried this place (delivery) for the first time tonight and I'm glad I did. Ordered the gnocchi Sorrentino with a side of garlic bread and it was very flavorful. Creamy and rich, but managed to not feel too heavy. Would definitely order again! read more

Mare Monte - Garlic Bread Gnocchi Sorrentino - Italian Near Me - Haddonfield, New Jersey

We went here for my birthday and to say it was an awful experience was an understatement. The service was slow.. we sat at our table for at least 20 minutes before being brought water and glasses for our wine. The bread they gave us could break your teeth. The smoke alarm kept going off. We were initially told it was no cause for concern but 15 minutes in no one would tell us what was actually happening. Our meal was below average. My dad got the risotto mare monte and it only had two shrimp in it. My husband's chicken parm was dry and overcooked. We left disappointed and very underwhelmed. If you want italian I would recommend Verona, only a few blocks away and infinitely better in all aspects. read more

Where do I begin?? I highly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant! The service is friendly and the food is beyond amazing, it tastes fresh and food comes out steaming hot. The meatballs were the best I've had and the marinara sauce was delicious. The arugula salad was tasty, it was light and a perfect start to the meal. My favorite part of the dinner was the four cheese gnocchi, it's the best gnocchi I have ever had. They taste homemade with ricotta filling, the four cheese sauce with toasted walnuts is decadent and leaves you wanting more! And the bread is soft and fresh, goes perfect with the extra virgin olive oil on the table. I would suggest this restaurant if you love authentic and delicious Italian food with a romantic atmosphere! Perfect for a date night or a night out with friends! read more

One word = WOW! It is my wife's birthday and we were limited to delivery (thanks COVID-19!), but Mare Monte was offering delivery so we thought we would give it a try. Everything was exceptional. The Chicken Parm was outstanding, the gnocchi was so delicious. I don't know if we could have ordered a better birthday dinner for her. Thank you, and we can't wait to visit once things return to normal. read more

The food was incredible, I had one of the specials. I was mahi-mahi and shrimp over risotto with sun dried tomatoes, one of the best meals out I've ever had. Service was excellent, polite ver attentive young man. Would very much recommend this restaurant. read more

The food would rank as fine dining. The service was anything but. My entree of mushroom ravioli was excellent - pasta was properly cooked, sauce and filling was first rate. The waiter we had seemed at best bored with the job and at worst annoyed at our presence. There's no excuse for having to request flutes when you bring a $60 bottle of champagne and after the first pour you have to pour your own wine since the waiter was nowhere to be seen. Fine dining is more than just food...it is hospitality and that was sorely lacking. read more

We just left Mare Monte and I just really wanted to let them know that their food and service was Wonderful! Our waiter was helpful and kind and the food was hot and delicious! Everything was spot on! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

We loved everything! We had the Octopus salad, calamari and Burrata Arugula (special) salad as appetizers. For entrees we devoured the Mushroom Ravioli with crab, Gorgonzola Gnocchi, Short Rib Pasta and Veal Saltimbocca. For dessert we had the Affogato, Chocolate Budino and Creme Brulee. BYOB. read more

Wow, what a gem! Amazing food--hands down best food I've had at any Italian BYOB. Homemade mushroom rav, lobster stuffed with crab...both to die for. To add to that, came with a 2 year old and the waiters helped entertain her and allowed us to have a few minutes of couple time. Would absolutely recommend, no brainier! read more

Mare Monte. Never disappoints. Service inside or out. Take out or eat in you will enjoy your meal and service. We will go here with various friends for dinner and not hear a compliant from anyone in the group which is a sign that the restaurant has the ability to appeal to the group. You know how someone in the group has an issue over something right or wrong. Well have not had any complaints here. It's a go to spot for sure add it to your dining out route. We can bike to the restaurant in season which makes it all the more appealing although parking behind place in patco lot is plentiful. read more

It was very good! Did not have a reservation but snagged a table for two by the window inside. Great Italian music playing, low key inside (outside was crowded). Had two entrees and dessert. Had the Chicken Toscanini very good, and the Pasta With meat. We will be back! Service was very nice. read more

Food was very good! Our waiter was good and yes I would go back. We had the escargot, arugula salad, shrimp scampi and the special homemade tomato fettuccine with mussels, shrimp, scallops, clams and calamari! Everything cooked perfectly! read more

This is the best italian restaurant in south Jersey. This is not an Italian-American red sauce type of place (there are plenty of terrific options for that in the area). Instead, this is an upscale restaurant for italian gourmands! You can taste the quality in the housemade pasta and the daily made sauces. Each ingredient sings in the creative takes in italian classics Salud! read more

Mare Monte was a quaint restaurant that provided a classy twist to the Haddonfield area. The menu had several outstanding options to choose from. With the help of our attentive waiter Jori, he recommended a great dish that suited my taste. I would definitely go back again! read more

Me and two girlfriends tried Mare Monte last night after searching restaurants in South Jersey and trying to find one we had never been to. I'm not sure how I've never heard of this place but I am so glad I found it because we had one hell of a meal! To start, we split three appetizers including the octopus, escargot, and scallops special. It was our first time trying escargot and we were pleasantly surprised. It had a melt in your mouth garlicky butter taste. The octopus was cooked perfectly and came on a tasty bed of arugula salad. The scallops special was incredible as well. We then split a Caesar salad which reminded me of one of the best Caesars I have had at a local steakhouse so needless to say I was a huge fan. For entrees we got the spaghetti Silva, squid ink linguini, and the fettuccine special. The homemade pasta really makes all the difference. Each dish was full of flavor and my favorite was my choice, the fettuccine special that came with scallops, sausage, shrimp, and asparagus in a pesto sun dried tomato sauce. That alone was worth going back for. To finish off this insanely good meal, we split the chocolate crème brûlée and tiramisu. Both were very good. It's safe to say we cannot wait to go back to try everything else on the menu. Highly recommend Mare Monte for your next dinner outing! read more

Great food great service. Our waiter Aldo was incredible suggested the beet soup was to die for have again and again. The spaghetti was delicious. Even though we didn't order desert gave us a taste of chocolate pudding for lack of better words. Was also very delicious. A must try or a must repeat again! read more

Absolutely delicious food. Good service. A perfect restaurant. Food was delivered quickly. The waiters are very nice.

Love Mare Monte. Food and service are always great. Ambience is lovely and it's usually packed on weekend nights. Their pasta is made in house and is delish, and their seafood dishes and veal dishes are wonderful. I've tried a lot of different dishes on their menu and all have been very good. read more

Amore, NOT! Dined here and to my dismay the special was borderline edible (NY Strip), fat plugs throughout. No good Joe . Although the wait service was excellent. And 2 more things . Mash looked like mustard so had to assume it was polenta. Amd asparagus came out dressed in Brussel sprouts . What a bargain , the whole dinner was only $75 plus tip. read more

This is such a cute little place, and I liked that they were open until ten. Many of the places in haddonfield close rather early, and I eat dinner later so it was a surprise to see. We started with calamari and it was great. We squeezed a little lemon on it and it hit the spot. For dinner I got the rigatoni all' matriciana. It was a spicy pasta with pancetta. It came out piping hot and i was pleased with my meal. My partner got the gnocchi alla vodka. The pasta was delicious and had prosciutto and spinach. Our meal was great, and the service was speedy as well. We will definitely be back. read more

I would give it more stars if possible, everything was amazing!! The service, food and atmosphere were spectacular! Prices are reasonable also. Even the coffee and desserts were incredible.

We LOVED everything about our meal last night. The waiter was super attentive and kind, the atmosphere was great and the food was awesome. We ordered the escargot to try something different and it was SOO good. Not what either of us expected at all, but I will absolutely get it again. I dipped the rest of our bread in it to soak up every last drop. I ordered the paparadelle based on others reviews and was really happy with it. My husband ordered the gnocchi in vodka and added crab and shrimp to it. I can't say enough about how happy we were. We love to go to Philly to try new places and I feel like we had that same great experience in our backyard. We will absolutely be back! read more
