Went here the Philly Jawn menu to celebrate my Birthday. It did not disappoint. The Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmigian, pasta and desserts were all well worth this visit. Definitely will be going back. Our server Mustafa was very attentive, each course was timed and definitely not rushed

We had such a lovely experience at Nunzio’s. We all wanted to eat at an Italian restaurant for our ladies night dinner. We were the first ones in when they opened, which gave us a chance to really enjoy the calm and cozy atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind and checked on us multiple times throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect.
We ordered mussels, the seafood platter, the half chicken dish, and raviolis—all of which were absolutely delicious. There wasn’t a single bite left on any of our plates! For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, and carrot cake. Every bite was sweet perfection. It’s BYOB.
I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxed and tasty dining experience. We already plan on coming back!

This restaurant was out of this world. First of all they accommodated a vegan tasting menu for me (with 24 hours advanced notice) and my friend had the 7 fishes menu. The service was great and every dish was superior. Not to mention the homemade table bread was out of this world. Do not hesitate to give this place a try. Remember it’s BYOB.

We did the Sunday menu, $50 for the entree, pasta choice, appetizer, and dessert. Food and service were impeccable. Especially loved the burata and calamari appetizers. My husband loved the dessert and beef medallion entree. BYOB but we forgot to pick up wine. They had a small selection of local wines that were well priced and we enjoyed a bottle of red. I highly recommend!

We stopped in Nunzios for dinner recently in Collingswood and man what a incredible experience. Every dish was presented beautifully and was seasoned to perfection. Each dish had levels of flavor and was executed flawlessly hats off to the chef. The decor inside the establishment is like your sitting outside dining how it’s designed. Its very cool and welcoming. Our server Tara was amazing she was spot on with everything and very kind and helpful. Overall we had such a great dining experience here and will happily be back to try new items on the menu. Definitely give them a try if your in the area you will not be disappointed!

We frequently had dinner at Nunzio’s before the change of ownership. I’m on record then of saying “If you don’t think Nunzio’s is one of the two best restaurants in Collingswood then you’re on crack”. It was one of the best places in the area to go out for a great dinner and one of our favs.
However, the change of ownership and the post-COVID era have not been kind. We’ve been there (three times I think) since then. The first within a month after the change in ownership I think. We weren’t happy and gave it a bit of time. We tried them again but were no happier and the disappointing “new” Nunzio’s was off our list for a couple of years.
We started talking about trying them again just in time for my mother’s birthday. She also was a Nunzio’s fan pre-change of ownership. So we figured a good amount of time has passed, maybe they’ve gotten it together and figured it out.
This may come off fragmented as I’m going to skip over a lot of the chaos of a family dinner and focus on the things that I found most impactful as it relates to having dinner at Nunzio’s.
Here we go.
They had the regular menu, a Sunday Tasting Menu which included choices for app, entrée, and dessert, and a Wild Game Menu that was fixed 5 courses. Three went for the Sunday tasting. My mother and I went for the wild game.
Here we will focus on the wild game selections as it’s what I had and hence what I can provide the most insight on.
First course was good with a balance of sweet salty and umami. It made me hopeful and perhaps a bit optimistic for the rest of the meal.
Second course, or was it third (they flip flopped the pasta course to keep it in sync with the rest of the table which was cool, but the order, rather than building the palate, becomes irrelevant) was put in front of me and the first thing I noticed was that the sauce was broken and oily. You can easily see this in the pics.
Boar ragu cavatelli is easily remembered because it tasted like beef, and the cavatelli had a weird overly firm consistency, almost as if it were not cooked but even firm for that still. If I blind tasted it I would have said it was some sort of beef.
Main course Venison stew: the venison was dry and chalky. I guess venison is just too lean for the long cooking time of a stew. I don’t know what I can say here except to ask: “Does the restaurant not sample this stuff before they put it on the menu, or do they actually think it’s appropriate for a nice restaurant to serve this mediocrity?”
About here for the main course came the wife’s chicken Milanese. I don’t know what she got, it wasn’t bad, but It wasn’t the Milanese we expected. That may be due to what is normally seen as Milanese, or it may be liberties as “Milanese” is rather broadly defined.
The game menu stuck me as someone who tries to get away with putting small portions into a decent plating, try to be a bit fancy and hoping for the “check this out it must be good”. Well, it was mediocre at best.
Service was really good and deserves commendation for dealing with my family.
We’ve been there three times since new ownership. It’s not going to be four.

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and wow…the seafood is fresh, delicious, and just pure bliss in one’s mouth. The pasta and bread – perfect. Ambiance is gorgeous and very clean. Staff is super nice and service was great. We will be back! Definitely the most delicious Italian meal I have had in a long long time.

Super Impressed! We had a party of 6 for their “Feast of Seven Fishes” special menu. 4 Courses plus desert. It was awesome. Special shout out to the chef and your servers. The food was amazing. We will be coming back to try the Italian Sunday dinner. Can’t wait!

We had an enjoyable dinner on a busy Saturday evening, pleasant staff and servers. We were seated right away for our 7:30 reservation. We sat in the middle room which was nice, plenty of tables but the noise level was not to loud. A nice menu with a variety of options and several specials that change weekly. For appetizers, mixed green salad with pears which was very tasty, caesar salad which was good just a bit to much garlic and muscles in red sauce. Dinner entrees were salmon, pasta and sausage special and a mixed seafood pasta which was loaded with shrimp, crab, swordfish and muscles. The portions were generous and no extra charge when we asked for more bread which came with a seasoned dipping oil. We ended with a tiramisu to share and coffee. Its BYOB so bring your favorite wine and very nice for a date night or special occasion. It has made a nice change over with their new chef and new menu. With a lot of competition in the area with a variety of Italian restaurants we were pleased we dined and will be back.

Had reservations at 5pm on a Saturday night and was seated immediately. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food came out at a good pace, and our waiter was attentive. The restaurant was clean and had a cozy vibe.
The bread that come out to the table is awesome. Bread was soft and fluffy. The pesto/tomato oil tasted great.
For apps we ordered the Octopus. The the app was seasoned perfectly and the octopus was so tender! Loved the garlic aioli and fried basil. The only thing was wish it came with more octopus and less potato. The potato seemed a bit out of place. Too tangy and flavor didn’t blend well with the octopus itself. Think it would pair better with some greens.
For one the Spaghetti Al Frutti Di Mare had a brilliant sauce that coated the homemade spaghetti so well. I really enjoyed the tomato and fennel broth. Scallop lovers will appreciate this dish as there was plenty of it. I would have wanted a bit more sword fish than scallops. Only got 2 small chunks of sword fish. Some bites were a tad gritty, perhaps from the mussels. However the overall dish was delicious and pasta cooked perfectly. I feel this dish could have added a little more noodle. If I compared the portion size to the other pasta dish we ordered, it was smaller.
Another entree was the Squid Ink Malfaldine which was part of their specials for the day. Anyone with a heart condition maybe should avoid it since I found it to be quite salty. Other than the salt level, the dish has some amazing flavors. Plenty of crab scattered about. The shrimp was superb and the pasta was cooked very well.
For dessert we got the vanilla gelato. It was creamy and delicious. Tastes like french vanilla with vanilla beans throughout.
