Looking for a good italian restaurant in SJ. My fiance suggested olive garden, however.... forget about it.
Is there a decent place in SJ that doesn't ask for an arm &...

Maplewood in Hammonton is very good. The prices may be higher than OP is willing to pay.

DiPaolo's Italian restaurant in Penns Grove. Is kind of pricey but food is great! When you're driving through the town you will be wondering "what the hell is a nice restaurant doing in a run down town like this". Upshot, you could buy some crack on your way out of town. Check Collingswood. Its like the Food Mecca of South Jersey Edit.. fixed cell phone typos

I've already mentioned on a few other comments, but Il Fiore and Bistro di Marino, both in Collingswood, are fantastic choices. Great quality service, food, and decent prices. Both places are also BYOB. I prefer Il Fiore's food, but Marino's service and atmosphere (awesome outdoor seating area). You can't go wrong with either. I'd recommend that you call and make a reservation just in case though.

Cotardo's in Blackwood, on Blackwood Clementon Rd near (in the same parking lot as) the Kmart is pretty good. You'll pay around $50 for two, not counting booze.

Martinos in Vineland is alright. Though I'm picky and only ever get the salmon. The rest of my family seems to like it and it's not too pricey.

Il Fiore in Collingswood is the best and cheapest restaurant at an intersection that has 3 Italian restaurants. BYOB, awesome food, excellent service. There is often a line out the door so make reservations!

ITA101 in Medford is rather new, but has been getting great reviews.

Mannino's in Pitman. The owner is straight from Sicily. Prices are pretty good, the food is fantastic.

barone's tuscan grille is pretty good. can't remember where it is though.

Gambino's on 38 in Cherry Hill is a great little spot. Not fancy, really good food, and a very nice owner.

Gourmet in Galloway. It's inexpensive and the only place I know to get good linguini and white clams.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions. I really appreciate it. :)

Amici's on Kresson Rd in Cherry Hill is my absolute favorite! Their service is the friendliest I have seen in the area, which is really tough competition. The prices are pretty decent. I especially love the seafood. It is byob. I'd also like to mention that my very traditionally Italian family even orders takeout from there each Christmas so that my Italian Nonna doesn't need to cook so much on a special holiday for us. Although we do still make our traditional Seven Fishes on the 24 th!

Never been disappointed with Nunzio's in Collingswood

I always recommend Fieni's in Voorhees. It's on Burnt Mill Road, near the Voorhees Town Center. Really small place (it's actually a small house that was converted to a restaurant), all homemade dishes, and really affordable prices (on par with a place like Olive Garden). If you're looking for a great little BYOB place with a very different atmosphere from the traditional restaurant, I can't recommend Fieni's enough!

Rustico in Winslow is a small mom and pop place and is really good. It's in a little strip mall, so it's easy to miss.

May be a little pricey, but its BYOB... Zeppoli in Collingswood is awesome. I think it is the only NJ restaurant on Philly Mags [Top 50 Restaurants in Philly](http://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/50-best-restaurants/#23) I believe the Chef/Owner is a former Vetri Chef. Edit:nice typing

Highly recommend Botto's in Swedesboro. Very high quality, not too expensive, very good atmosphere. They also have an italian market right next to the restaurant with very good cuts of meat and pasta sauces.

Bistro di Marino in Collingswood is supposed to be great. My family loves it. BYO
Need a restaurant recommendation for the shore area. A Saturday night for a small gathering for birthday celebration. BYOBs are fine too. NOT Atlantic City. Thanks.

Boris Kazansky. Russian. Cantor also- so he has a great voice. Very Zen and new wave in his beliefs.My daughter learned Hebrew shee needed to do her reading, understood it very well and generally speaking, had a spiritual experience. Highly recommend him. Look him up in the Russian papers.
Romantic restaurant suggestion? Nothing in or around Medford - they're not romantic . Somewhere else .

I second Rats at the Ground for Sculpture. Steven Starr and cozy. Food is excellent. Stroll through the gardens after dinner. Lovely spot. Check ahead as they sometimes have music or speakers. One of our favorites. (Hamilton NJ)
