Bistro Di Marino
492 Haddon Ave, Collingswood, Collingswood,
Bistro is fabulous. Great food and even better service. The free bread that they give you with the pesto dipping sauce (I'm assuming it's pesto) is out of this world. I recommend the vittello michaelo. excellent! The specials are usually fantastic as well (even if they are a smidge out my price range usually, but then i'm just a poor 24 year old). If you can get there during restaurant week, go! It's a great deal and a great way to get a feeling for what Jimmy Marino does best: make delicious Italian food! Yum!

Casona
563 Haddon Ave, Collingswood, Collingswood,
I'm from Hawaii where hospitality reigns. Casona seems to have that same spirit. Even with the occassional delay with our table or the food. It's one of my favorite places in South Jersey. The seafood is always fresh and tasty. The steaks are prime and grilled perfectly. They have won awards for their menu and especially brunch. It's a great place for private parties. I have gotten to know the owner and manager there. He is a kind and generous person. I don't normally review places on line, but he asked me to. I am a regular customer at Casona and some of the other restaurants in Collingswood. Grillo cares deeply about his customers and employees. This is a beautiful restaurant with very good food and service. Like any place they have occastional minor problems. You won't be sorry you went there.

Geno's Steaks
1219 S 9th St, Philadelphia, Collingswood,
Pat's and Geno's are both horrible places for steak sandwiches. They live on their name reputations from unknowing tourists and late night local drunks who don't know the difference. If you like fatty meat and gristle both of these places will do. There are countless better choices in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area. The real telltale sign is that these places never make the top 10 of cheesteak places in local Philadelphia publications.......most locals know the truth.
