Dinner party of 8 to celebrate my wife's birthday. Dinner was outstanding, service matched the good food. Honestly, a little gem of a place in Haddon Heights. Bravo! read more

I hate to ding a restaurant. Since COVID most restaurants have gone down hill. Don't know why. Not happy with the freshness. Chicken parm subpar. Seafood subpar although the mussels were awesome. Is it possible the black squid ink pasta caused tummy ache and subsequent diarrhea? Calamari has hot peppers and I say meh! Haddock was like a brick block. Not tender or fresh at all. Customers were coming in the front main door and wondering where do I go to find the hostess. I tried to point and they end up in the kitchen! So ambience is questionable. There are too many Italian restaurants in the 10 mile radius. The search continues read more

Ordered takeout meal. Preparations were ready for pickup upon arrival. Generous well prepared portions. Will return. Highly recommend.

This is a small family run and very rustic Italian eatery. John and staff are amazing! From the octopus appetizer to the Mediterranean Sea bass, this place and its white table cloth presentation are the perfect fit for suburban dining while in Philly. Finally the haut is BYOB and regulars are provided "storage" space for their fruity faves..... It makes one the top of my list stateside.... read more

We decided to make a reservation to try Anthony's for our anniversary last night and were very pleased! Our waiter, Brandon, was so friendly and made our experience a great one! We were seated right at the time of our reservation in the upstairs section. The restaurant was extremely quiet even with it being crowded. We started with the special strawberry salads. The strawberries were extremely fresh and vinaigrette and Asiago cheese made it very tasty! The complimentary bread and olive oil were very unique. The olive oil was some of the best I've had with a strong olive taste. For entrees, we had the pesto and burrata gnocchi and boar bolognese pasta. They were both AMAZING! We finished with the chocolate chip cake to share. This cake was extremely good as well and I am interested to see if you can buy it from them. We really enjoyed our experience and all of the food! We will definitely be back and tell all our friends about how great it is here! read more

Had the most enjoyable meal tonight!! Ordered the salad special, fresh orange wedges over spring mix with candied walnuts and pomegranate seeds, topped with shaved asiago cheese. It was so fresh and flavorful. I loved it. I also had the fish special, sword fish steak over risotto and asparagus. So very delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant ...and do try the Gelato, it's home made! read more

Came for Mother's Day. Not overly crowded and they did not rush us through. Food was excellent with large portions. Service was great. Friendly and attentive. Will return to try more dishes. read more

Anthony's Creative Italian Cuisine - Calamari and antipasti - Italian Near Me - Haddon Heights, New Jersey

See all

Although they have been in business for over 20 years, we randomly stumbled upon Anthony's creative cuisine when surfing through the Open Table app and noticing that they were booked-up between 6pm and 8pm on Friday and Saturday nights. I take that generally as a good sign. The restaurant atmosphere is pleasing overall featuring a house-like setup with a downstairs dining room in addition to two smaller upstairs rooms. My only complaint about the upstairs seating was that the ceiling tiles were very brown from water stains from AC duct condensation or roof leaks. Either way, I tried not to let it dampen our enjoyment of an otherwise elegant experience. Our server's name was Brandon and he was on point all night and extremely friendly and helpful. We will request him again on our next visit! The food was great. We ordered enough for an army although it was only my wife and I out on a date. We each got a salad and they were both delicious. Mine was a Caesar with homemade croutons and dressing and finished with shredded Asiago on top. My wife's was a spinach salad with roasted red bell peppers and a warm bacon dressing/bacon pieces on top. These salads are huge and each could easily satisfy 2 people. We also ordered an appetizer of fried calamari. This was perhaps my favorite course of the meal. The calamari were not heavily breaded, perhaps a dusting of flour or cornstarch, and they were so crispy and tender without any hint of chewiness. A must try for calamari lovers. Our meals were bone-in veal chop Parmesan with side of spaghetti (the veal was tender, with a crisp on the edges and was topped with copious amounts of mozzarella), as well as the homemade gnocchi in a blush sauce with dollops of nut-free pesto and some fresh mozzarella. Both were very delicious. Finally for dessert we split a new offering which was a chocolate cheesecake layered with chocolate cake. It was pretty average I would say. The portions were generous and we literally had leftovers from each course we ordered. We left the restaurant looking like julia Roberts from "pretty woman"' walking out of Bloomingdale's (or wherever) with 2 bags in each hand and a big smile. Overall a great date night place - just fix the ceiling tiles . Funny enough, a man at the table next to us told the waiter to tell the owner that he has 8 new boxes of the exact ceiling tiles in his garage and he'd be happy to give them to the restaurant lol. Well, I digress - anyhow I confidently can highly recommend this spot for your next romantic or family Italian dinner. read more

Very nice cozy atmosphere in the restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service was on point and very attentive. Food was good. The soup special was delicious. It was a sweet corn chowder with crab. It was velvety smooth. The chicken Parm was a big portion, loaded with cheese and bowned nicely. The lobster ravioli was stuffed and the lemony sauce was good. The short rib ragu was tasty as well and all the pastas were al dente. read more

Got to meet the main man Anthony when he came to say hello to our table. Everything was spectacular and will definitely be back in the future. read more

Anthony's Creative Italian Cuisine - Veal Parmesan! - Italian Near Me - Haddon Heights, New Jersey

My family threw me a 70th birthday party at Anthony's recently. I was blown away surprised; not only by the party, but at the venue also. They have an upstairs room to have affairs like this that are private and the perfect size for a small to medium party - we had 20 guests. The food was fabulous. The menu was 3 entrees to choose ( a chicken, a fish and a red meat) for a 4 course meal - a pasta course which was rigatoni with perfect red gravy, a Cesare salad course, the entree and dessert. However, even before that, they put plates of bruschetta, warm Italian bread and olives, red peppers and cheese on the tables. The service was impeccable and the ambience was just right. All that and my daughter said it was quite reasonable. We will definitely be using them again for functions!!! That all the staff that made my night so special. read more

My family went into Anthony's for a birthday dinner for 9 people. We are all hospitality people in one way or another and Anthony's won us over!! Service was smooth and friendly and very accommodating to our lone vegan guest. We shared the antipasto platter.. scallops and calamari that were all flavorful and ample! Dinner was a mixture of Ribeye. Pasta and shrimp with Chicken that was delectable and light! We finished off with desserts done ordered and some complimentary. Highly recommend this neighbor spot that treats you like family read more

l was taken out my my boss,Poma, she is very nice, kinda like a casual interview, we went there during noon time. It's a small restuarant and full of people, relatively quiet one, quite a lot of them are actually seniors, they are definitely locals, so l know this place definitely gonna be good.So if you go there, definitely recommend you reserve first. The interview went well, not interupted by surrounding people at all, and partially maybe the food gives me this good feeling,l mean the food served over there defintely great, l like my grill salmon, fresh taaste, combined with cheif's soup, dinner style of lunch, not doing this often. In a word, based on first impression, l recommend this resaurant if you are on a date,nice environment, friendly server, and budget is acceptable, l would say it's ranked between medium to high end level in a small city. read more

Excellent food and service. Wonderful atmosphere. Started with the crab bisque, calamari and had the halibut for my entree. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Definitely will be back! read more

Food was decent, service was okay. Nothing to rave about. Can accommodate larger parties

Food was good but could have had more vegetarian options. The service was exceptional. Very nice quiet restaurant.

Anthony's really surprised me because unlike any other restaurant or BYOB they have a $30 menu that had really good food to price quality. Example: Particularly the sweet pea tortellini was with lump crabmeat that was not skimpy. You really ACTUALLY get what you pay for. You asked for lump and yes, you get it. Most places try to find ways to give shredded or 1-2 pieces of seafood. It was fine dining in a nice chilled out atmosphere that was not overcrowded. Nearby parking was not a problem and the are located around a few other small businesses. read more

Wife and I dined here earlier this evening. Place looks very nice and we were sat right away. For some reason we had 2 servers for a place that only had like 8-10 tables and only 2 of those had patrons. Us being one of them. Anyway, servers were fine. The issue was the food. We ordered the calamari appetizer which came drizzled with a sauce. It desperately needed some fresh lemon juice, which we asked for. It was also bland so we requested some marinara. We did get that but it was also bland. It definitely didn't taste home made. Unfortunately it didn't get any better when it came to the entrees. My wife had a tortellini dish and I had a homemade sausage dish with gnocchi. Well, again.. both dishes were bland and needed some kind of seasoning. For $22 we expected something better than mass produced quality. We did eventually get some salt and pepper and red pepper to enhance our dishes. This helped with the tortellini but not my dish. Considering we were one of two tables dining at the time we had hoped to get exceptional cuisine but instead were left wanting more. This is a shame because we had a baby shower here and the food then was really good. At this time I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

Made an reservation for an early NYE dinner at Anthony's. This would be our first visit at this restaurant. Upon arrival there was an awkward wait in the lobby with 5 other couples. Not sure why because we all had a 5 pm reservation and the place was empty. My guess is the restaurant staff needed time to figure things out. Eventually, the hostess called out some names and each couple left the lobby. We were escorted to our table, which was upstairs and was surprised to see so many tables since the restaurant didn't look like it had much space. We started our dining experience with the calamari appetizer and seafood bisque. Both were really tasty. I had the sweet pea tortellini and my husband had the salmon. Our entrees were devine. For dessert, I had the cannoli, and my husband had the mango sorbet. I am a cannoli snob had been searching for a good cannoli. I had one recently at another Italian restaurant, and it was not good at all. The cannoli that I had at Anthony's was an old school cannoli (made with ricotta cheese). It was the kind of cannoli you dream dream about and want to have over and over again. Needless to say, we loved the food at Anthony's and will return again and again. read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Anthony's. My wife and I made a reservation for Anthony's on New Years Eve. It was very packed but with a reservation we only waited a few minutes. The restaurant is an old house that has the layout of a Philadelphia row home, two floors that are thin and long. The restaurant has a very homey feel to it and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The overall service was very good. Their menu is Italian but different. They did not have the traditional Italian dishes on their menu. No chicken parm, chicken Marsala, and very little pastas. It forced me to go out of comfort zone and get something I wouldn't have. I got the Veal Francese and my wife got the filet. We both really enjoyed our meal. The quality was very good and again, I enjoyed the menu. We'll be back. read more

I have been a fan of Anthony's for about 10 years. They have consistently been able to coerce me into taking a trip over the bridge to enjoy their offerings. The slightly global Italian fare is always way above average in quality, preparation, and presentation. It competes with the city on every level, except the fact that the jersians have no problem wearing jeans and taking their 2 year olds to a clearly more sophisticated restaurant. The fact that it is a BYO, however, makes the value incredibly attractive. You would have to spend double in the city to enjoy a comparable meal. Buratta, Veal Chops, and ultra rare tuna jump to mind as things to make sure you try. Overall, the consistency makes Anthony's incredibly professional, the staff is wonderfully personable, and the value is outstanding...no brainer. Make a reservation (but leave the kids at home). read more

Lots of regulars here and obviously no yelpers go here. Got a dukedom with my check-in. Friendly service in a relaxed suburban environment. No glitz but pretty good Italian food. The calamari had three different sauces but was lacking taste and soggy. The mussels were much better. Great white broth and perfectly cooked. A fall salad with apples and crumbled blue cheese was well prepared. Entered were good. Chicken dish was alright with broccoli rabe. Crab cake and shrimp with risotto was good but unremarkable. Signature dish of crabmeat and pasta was fresh and well prepared. Service was good with waitress, Kate, working with chef for twenty years! Got cocolate-cello and mini canollis on the house. Nice touch and very good. Canolli had fresh crunchy shell and nice ricotta filling. Overall a good experience. read more

I gave this 3 stars because the service was great it's definitely a neighborhood place. Although, the scallops were blackened with no crispy side and my halibut has soggy skin. It's a pet peeve of mine. read more

Dined here during restaurant week. The overall atmosphere is nice, wait staff was attention and courteous, but the food is missing that "wow" factor. The food was not overall impressive missing indepth flavors. The food I could make at home, and I am good cook. I want to go out to eat and be "wowed" with complex flavors and awesome flavors that make me happy not to make at home because it is complex or takes too long. The overall experience from the greeting to leaving was great, but the food needs to be "bumped" up a bit. read more

My wife and I were here for dinner on Sunday evening and couldn't have had a more enjoyable meal. We had been here before but never on a Sunday. We took advantage of there three-course meal for $25.00. We had soup, a Caesar salad and then the entree: a shrimp scampi and a beef dish. Every course was well prepared and tasty. We always like dining here since it is small and quiet - and let's not forget a BYOB. The service is impeccable. We expect to return in the not too distant future - probably on a Sunday evening. read more

Anthony's Creative Italian Cuisine - First time here with my fiance on her birthday and everything is amazing! Highly recommendl the cast iron skillet pork chop ! 10/10 - Italian Near Me - Haddon Heights, New Jersey

Very disappointing. Nothing creative, just plain weird. I ordered the filet with fresh fig demiglace and polenta and was instead served " the special" filet with a side of ravioli, both smothered in a mustard sauce. Mustard on filet? Mustard on ravioli? This is not creative, it's an outrage! Horrible. The waitress offered to bring me fig sauce . I'm sure that would have been a great combo . We won't be back. read more

Went for restaurant week. Not crowded at all. Didn't have reservations and we were seated within 5 minutes. First course - butternut squash soup was delicious. Pumpkin ravioli would have been good, but came out Ice cold. Second course - eggplant awesome! Dig salad just ok- heavily dressed. Third course - pork osso bucco was the best I've had! Chicken saltembucco was good. Dessert- waited over 20 Minutes for dessert to be delivered while other people got their entrees and checks. read more

It was restaurant week in Haddon Heights and each course they brought out to you was so good! The service was excellent and the food was even better! We sat downstairs and the atmosphere was awesome! I went upstairs to check it out and it was decorated beautifully! I can't wait to go back again. Also, it was BYOB which made it even better! I will recommend Anthony's to everyone I know. Seriously, one of the best restaurants we've been too! read more

My two friends and I love this place. We always try to go for the sunset pre fix dinner or the Wednesday night five dollar per course dinner. They have a huge selection and the food is delicious. Since it is one of our favorites I really wanted to give it five stars so I just might change my mind. I don t like to give five stars anymore because people think you are a friend or relative trying to boost the rating. Not so. Just someone that loves to go out and eat. The five dollar menu is amazing. The platters are not skimpy at all. The food is fresh and well prepared. Nicely seasoned and tastes great. I find they change up the menu all the time. The veal chop is to die for since you can t get a veal chop anywhere these days. Nice and thick and done the way YOU like it. Not dry at all. When i say medium it comes out medium. The short ribs over noodles amazing. And the pork chop with bone in is prime period. The meats are top quality. I know because I buy prime and grass fed. There is a huge difference and I feel sorry for those that have not experienced grass fed or prime. People i know try to insist that the local grocery store has the same quality meat. Sorry, but the don t. The soup when it comes is not a tiny little cup but a nice size bowl. My favorite us the cold crab soup. My personal salad favorite is the caesar. There is nothing wrong with the decorations. It is in no way gaudy Italian. It is very clean and basic. I love going here and Elements across the street. My friends and I go and we actually dine and are not rushed out. We sit for three hours. The nice think is the customers are always so friendly. We end up having a conversation with someone close. Highly recommend. I go to a restaurant for the food and not the decor. I don t even notice the decor for the most part. I would prefer decent prices instead of decor. It can be a dive and I will eat there as long as food is great. And it is here. Far better than a chain like Brio. You can bring your own bottle or they have a limited selection of Jersey wines. Town is dry. Ridiculous. However, they do permit Jersey wine through some silly ordinance they passed. Haddon Heights needs to get with the times. Last but not least kudos to Colin and I think Chris is the other waiter. Both, very nice young men and polite. read more
