Fantastic "classic" red-sauce Italian American. Everything we had for our large luncheon party (approx 50 people_ was perfection. Crisp Caesar salad, delicious Chicken Parm, Penne a la vodka with Prosciutto and Gnocchi alla Pomedoro. Wonderful service and food. read more

Have been here several times, mostly for special occasions, and it does not disappoint. Food is always delicious and after getting an appetizer, we almost always have left overs to take home. Service is prompt and friendly, and it is BYOB. Would absolutely recommend for either a small dinner for two or a large group celebration. read more

Food is NOT worth the price and not sure why it's listed on RESY. I ordered the Linguini Crabmeat and it needs more flavor - no where it has JUMBO CRABMEAT. The Ravioli Rosa is not seasoned enough. read more

this was our second visit to this rustic Italian establishment and were highly pleased yet again. Tonight's meal was couple's night where we shared the bruschetta and the antipasto caprese board starters which were ESSENTIAL to get the flavors flowing early -- so divine. All three men ordered the classic vodka rigatoni and were pleasantly plump. I ordered the penne tartufo with herb marinated crispy prosciutto, peas, cremini mushrooms tossed in a rich truffle creme sauce... exceeded beyond expectations to the point where all guests had to have a taste. It is BYO but they do offer a local wine selection. The ambiance is so rustic and authentic like you're dining right in nonna's cucina. Needless to say this is a must try and worth the drive read more

It had been a while since I had dinner at Villa Barone, but I remember that they never disappointed. I was walking in Collingswood recently and wanted to pick up a pizza for a casual family dinner. My order for a Margherita pizza was taken by a friendly employee at the counter and I was told it would be 15 minutes. The restaurant smells amazing and there are a few seats if I chose to wait. I went outside to walk a little and came back to my waiting pizza. For less than $25 (including optional tip), I brought home a delicious, perfectly cooked quality pizza. My family was as impressed as I was. read more

It's my go to for great Italian food- the eggplant parm is my absolute favorite. The appetizers are all delicious and they always have great specials. I've been eating here for probably 25 yrs now - it's consistently delicious and a pleasant experience. Servers are also fantastic. The restaurant is a fun and upbeat vibe - lots of chatter and good times being celebrated here. read more

Awesome waiter! Great ambience!Time to sit and relax, we had crab stuffed mushrooms and Ceaser Salad. Lobster Ravioli &. The Salmon Special for the evening both were very delicious! PS BYOB They also sell win from Auburn Winery! read more

Service was wonderful and organized. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Reservations were easy to make. It is BYOB. Complimentary rolls were warm. It comes with an olive oil dip and we asked for butter. All our food came out piping hot and fresh! The fried calamari texture was perfect - a light crisp and tender; not too chewy. I really enjoyed my penne tartufo. The pasta had so many depths of flavor from the truffle cream sauce to the smoked prosciutto and mushrooms. My friend had a short rib pasta and I really enjoyed the flavor of the wine sauce that it was made with. read more

Service and Ambience were very good. The food not so much. I had the linguini with spinach and crab meat. The flavor was poor. Tasted like buttered noodles. The amount of spinach and crab was terrible. If i got 5-6 pieces of spinach and 1-1.5 oz crab meat that would be a lot. Paying $30+ for a mother's day lunch special with an oz of crab in my opinion is not worth it! Not somewhere I will go back to. I give it 2 stars for service. read more

What a wonderful find in Collingswood before a concert nearby. Found parking on the side street, large restaurant with lots of seating opportunties as it quickly filled up around 5:30-6pm for dinner. Our server, Samuel, needs a special shout out for his amazing service. Many good food options, very clean, good paced service, no rushing us out, good value and TASTY food. They also offered to split our dishes for sharing with no added charge. For this evening out we started with a mix (half & half Samuel called it) of their house soup as it was a chilly wet night. Next they spit the linguini frutta mare for us with a side dish of mixed sauted vegetables. To close out we had cappucinos and they accompany that with a piece of biscottti... a very nice and memorable dinner. read more

I know this is long but please stick around until the end. The service was the worst part of this entire meal and it's at the end of the story. From what I've heard this place has really gone downhill. I came here with my boyfriend and his brothers to celebrate his birthday. I had never been there before but my boyfriend's family are Collingswood natives. They have been loyal customers to this restaurant for decades. Every family event is hosted here, so I had high hopes. From afar, everything looks great. Cute place, nice decor, and pleasant people seemingly enjoying their night. We waited a bit to be seated since we were a group of 5 which was no problem. The waiter came over and asked us for drink orders immediately upon sitting down. We ordered our drinks and got them in a timely manner. We were still waiting on one more person which I assume is why he didn't ask if we wanted to put in appetizers. Here's where the issues began. The last person arrived, our waiter took his drink order and then walked away and rolled his eyes. He brought the drink back fairly quickly and then disappeared. We tried to stop him to put in our app orders as we were hungry but he ignored us and walked away. He was gone for over 15 minutes. I'm sure he had other tables to tend to but to keep people waiting for over 15 minutes when we had already been there for a while was unacceptable. I made eye contact with him when I finally saw him to try to get him to come over to the table. He saw me immediately looked away and walked right past our table and into the kitchen. That would've been totally fine if he'd come out with food/drinks for another table but he didn't. He was empty handed. One more round of eye contact and he finally came over. Eventually we got our apps. Not once did the server come by and check on us or ask how the food came out. We finished, and then another 10 minutes later was when we ordered dinner. My boyfriend ordered the filet medium. It came raw. Not even medium rare. RAW. Again, the server never came and checked on us or asked us how the food came out. We couldn't even ask for anything different because we never even got the opportunity. Regardless, we finished with our meal and asked for the check. I left a tip out of sheer obligation. Out of a 270 dollar bill I left a GENEROUS $30 tip. And I mean generous. The worst part of it all was we hadn't even stood up to leave yet, and the server immediately came over and asked if he could take the check. The rudest thing I've ever experienced while dining at a "nice establishment". He should be ashamed. Not only did he immediately look down at the tip line, he ROLLED HIS EYES AGAIN. RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE then walked away. We were treated horribly the entire night. I'm not sure what he was expecting. I understand servers aren't paid well and a 20% tip is standard, but that is if you deliver good service. Every single time this man left our table we would get an eye roll. Absolutely despicable. I don't know what his problem was. Long and short of it all -- we won't be coming back. read more

Good service, good food, loved the appetizer sampler barone style! Quiet even when packed with folks. Next time we'll get the pizza amongst other things! read more

There's no shortage of Italian restaurants in the Collingwood area in Villa Barone is one of the good ones. We arrived for a late night dinner, and were immediately seated and taken care of. They stored you with complementary rolls and olive oil dip. All meals were prepared, fresh and arrived hot. Each member of our party seemed very satisfied with their choice. There are several off menu specials, as well as a large selection of your typical Italian dishes. It's a BYOB so bring your own bottle. Would recommend a friend. read more

On a recent visit back East, my wife and I met up with an old friend at Villa Barone. We have lived in the San Francisco area for 16 years, so you never know how your Jersey favorites fared after Covid. But I am here to tell you VB is as good as we remembered it: same Italian rustic decor, same 3 rooms and same down-home Italian goodness. I also forgot Collingswood is still dry (thank you Carl McIntyre), so I called first to see if anything had changed on the wine front - no - it's still BYOB. (As an aside, you can bring a bottle to CA restaurants but you'll pay a $25-$35 corkage fee.) I had forgotten how good the little bread puppies are; we made short work of them. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana. Which came with an ample side of pasta. My wife had chicken cutlets, which she used to get whenever we visited, and her friend got the same thing, again with plenty of pasta. It's good to know places don't change. They find a formula that works for them amd their customers and stick with it. That's Villa Barone. We will be back on our next visit. read more

Our family doesn't eat out much anymore in general. ($). When we do, we tend to stick to places and even particular meals that are consistently popular with the whole family. Villa Barone is a regular for us. Around once every month or so, we get a takeout family meal (rigatoni with vodka sauce). It's not surprising so much that it's delicious every time. What's amazing is that it's CONSISTENT every time. Like delicious in the same exact way every time. Having worked in the food service industry myself, I know how hard that is to achieve with changes in ingredients, prices, and staff, etc. The one factor I personally think allows VB to achieve this shocking level of consistency is that every time I go, the owner/manager is there. The restaurant clearly means a lot to them to not just put the whole place on autopilot and collect on their reputation/location alone and it really shows in the quality of the meals they reliably serve up. read more

Love it. Food, ambiance and service. Check, check, check. And BYOB. Loved the lasagna.

So many times I've been in Collingswood for crafts fairs and Villa Barone has a table set up where they serve up fresh, hot slices of pizza. And every time I say, DANG, that's just about one of the best, simplest, tastiest cheese slices you can possibly get. It's not foo foo, it's not over seasoned, it's not complicated. On my list for a nice, sit down dinner. read more

Loved the Appetizer Barone to try multiple dishes. Especially loved the flavor of the sauce with the mozzarella bread. Very fresh flavors. We had the special short rib fusilli with figs, which added a hint of sweetness. Beautiful place for a date night. Not too loud and good service. read more

We visited here for dinner before a show at the Scottish Rite Auditorium. Our server was very attentive and nice relaxed atompshere. We had calamari for appetizers, not over cooked and served with 2 dipping sauces; we enjoyed it. You got hot bread with a olive oil mix, it was sooo good! We had the shrimp and salmon dish which was a special of the night, the salmon melted in your mouth and the accompanying vegetables were nicely prepared, not over cooked. We wish they gave you more than 2 large shrimps, it was a delicious dish. We also had Penne Tartufo pasta dish, the portion was enough for leftovers...2 more meals. I wish there were more mushrooms in it, but we also enjoyed that dish. I love that it is BYOB, I would definitely come back again. read more

Greatest eggplant Parmesan and broccoli rabe out there.. can't wait to go back !!!!!!!!!

This was our first dining experience in the strange new world of phase 2 New Jersey out door dining. Tables are set up outside on the sidewalk. There are no menus, the menu is download to a phone using a Quick Scan app and the phone's camera. Diners do not need to wear masks but if entering the building to use a washroom, a mask is required. Our server wore a mask at all times. I felt the protocol was very good at Villa Barone. I ordered the Tagliatelle Cacio e Pepe - traditional Roman pasta with a creamy romano cheese sauce and fresh ground black pepper. They add lemon zest and fresh arugula. I liked this dish. The pasta was home made and the cream sauce was not overly heavy. The pepper gave the dish flavor. My wife had the salmon special with crabmeat. This was also very good. Service was great all night, 5 stars for that aspect. It was a beautiful warm evening and I really enjoyed eating out again. We have to support these local businesses as best we can. read more

We ordered takeout last Wednesday evening, and the food was spot on! My husband loved the side of meatballs and had a chicken Parmesan entrée and it was perfect. I had the salmon special, abundant vegetables, and a sizable piece of fish and I was over the moon. No wonder the place was mobbed on a Wednesday night! Clearly, a local favorite, I highly recommend. read more

It's been a long time since I dined at Villa Barone, but tonight's experience makes me want to go back often! Our server, Angela, was a phenomenal-she was friendly, knowledgeable, and when we had a special request, she talked to the cooks and made it happen-we commented that we were impressed that she could converse in Spanish when needed and she explained she had minored in Spanish in college. My friend ordered the filet special with crab meat and Gorgonzola cream sauce and I had the eggplant rollatini-good sized portions and very tasty! For dessert, the tiramisu was a great way to end our meal. read more

The food is always amazing. Very disappointed though because we were charged $3 up charge to change from marinara to blush sauce. We have been going there for years and I have always changed from marinara to blush sauce and never been charged. We weren't told about it prior either. Just think it's a little ridiculous since it's not a sauce they need to make special. read more

The best Italian food - portion, preparation, service and food - all are made to perfection. This place came highly recommended from one of my mom's group - no wonder it does has great reviews. Everything about this place - decorum, ambience and staff was just fantastic. We will highly recommend this place to people and will definitely be coming back and probably be regular there. The pomodoro sauce is delicious. read more

My server Dana made my first experience here absolutely amazing! On top of the friendly staff and cozy environment my food was 10/10.

Astronomical prices for okay Italian food. We went here for Mother's Day lunch hoping to have a relatively light meal at noon, only to find that they took the pizza off of the menu (one of the biggest appeals of this place.... I mean, it's known for the brick oven...), all of the salads, and anything lunchy and replaced it with whole dinner entrees that were also up charged 10$ a piece. The service was ridiculously slow even with the smaller menu, and there was barely anyone in the restaurant too. I literally just went to parc and spent less money on a dinner with the same number of people, with cocktails. Ridiculous. One good thing I'll give them is they did refund me when I realized on the road that I had tipped on top of an auto gratuity, which was sweet. read more

I've been on an Italian kick and decided to try Villa Barone. I honestly wasn't expecting much. I remember this place from decades ago and for some reason thought it was average.

Delicious as alway! Great byob place. Food = 10, Ambience = 10. Must try if you're in Collingswood.

Came here with a girlfriend for a night out during the pandemic. We both had never been but had heard good things. We couldn't figure out what to get because the whole menu looked amazing! We got delicious bread to start and I could not put it down! Our kind waiter read us the specials and we both knew that we needed to try the lobster ravioli! We also got mussels in white wine sauce for an appetizer. The mussels were delicious! The lobster ravioli was also very amazing! I loved that it had shrimp with it as well. I had wished I saved some bread to dip in the sauce, so make sure you do! Overall, 10/10 food, staff, and ambience. The inside of the restaurant is nice and dim and would be a great spot for a romantic dinner. Wasnt too loud or crowded either! read more
