    5 stars no hesitation. This small, dimly lit, cozy Italian establishment is the perfect intimate setting for date night. We came for the name, and the Zeppoli's were fantastic -- perfectly lightly fried dusted with sugar and melt in your mouth delectability. However we did not expect to have some of the best, most authentic gnocchis I've had. These large plump pillows were flufffy perfection, spinach and herbs embedded into the dough. My only complaint is that I did not have more! The sous chef knew us from town and gave us utmost excellent treatment with a wonderful dessert and a flavorful antipasto starter.

    Very much enjoyed our early, Sunday supper at Zeppoli. Our 4-top BYO'd some white wine and beer and decided to go with the "4 courses (salad/appetizer, pasta side, meat/fish entree, dessert) for $75.00" so we could taste/share as many dishes as possible. The complimentary bread basket with dish of olives/olive oil was everything: came with three types of bread: (1) one of the best tomato pies I've ever had, (2) a fluffy focaccia, and (3) a dense olive-oily bread. All together, we tried the: Salad/appetizers: - Gamberetti e Fagioli (whole shrimp sauteed with garlic, parsley, lemon, chili, served over cannellini beans) - Panzanella Catania (tomato and bread salad with capers, Sicilian white anchovies)--highly recommend this dish, so flavorful! - Finocchi Salsiccia (housemade fennel sausage, broccoli rabe)--delicious, if slightly salty. - Special: Burrata--wished it had a little more salt. Pastas: - Gnocculi alla' Argentiera (spinach and ricotta gnocchi topped with Sicilian caciocavallo)--giant pillowy gnocchi! - Tagliatelli al Limone (housemade pasta with lemon topped with prosciutto)--such well-made pasta with a light lemon sauce - Rigatoni alla Disgraziata (mezze rigatoni with eggplant, tomato, ricotta salata and basil-breadcrumbs)--highly recommend this dish, so flavorful! - Pesto Trapanese (Sicilian-style fusilli pasta with almond-pistachio pesto from the town of Trapani)--loved the Sicilian-style extra-long fusilli! Entrees: - Pollo di Sicani (half-roasted free range chicken with rosemary, garlic, lemon and cippolini argodolce)--chicken was moist and well seasoned - Sicilian Fisherman Stew (mixed Mediterranean seafood stew with saffron and Tunisian couscous)--delicious, but wish it was served with bread for sopping up the delicious broth! - Coniglio Pizzaiola (stewed rabbit with tomato, fresh oregano with rosemary oven roasted potatoes) - Special fish steamed in paper Desserts: - Zeppoli Siciliano - Torta Cioccolato e Mandole - Cannoli Classico--shell was thinner/crispier than expected, but the pistachio sugar was nice Service was timely and friendly, lighting was dim, chairs were slightly uncomfortable for a 4-course meal, but would definitely recommend a visit!

    An evening at Zeppoli's never disappoints! Appetizers were a fantastic start to a delicious, tasty, perfectly curated meal last evening.  We started off with whole shrimp sautéed in garlic, parsley, lemon, and chili, along with cannellini beans, bringing a perfectly balanced amount of spicy, velvety flavor to complement the shrimp.  The Grilled Octopus special was cooked to perfection, fork-tender, silky, and succulent.  Moving onto the pasta, the Pesto Trapanese has a vibrant, nutty pesto sauce w/fresh pasta that brings a bright & bursting flavor through and through with each bite.  The Gnocculi alla' Argentiera has a delicate texture that melts in one's mouth in the heavenly sauce.  The pasta special was the Pappardelle Pasta w/Short Rib & Volcanic Tomatoes in Bolognese Sauce.  The house-made Pappardelle pasta was rolled into wide strands, offering a tender, silky texture with just the right bite.  The short ribs and tomatoes brought bold, succulent flavor to the bolognese sauce.  Moving to the entrees never disappoints when visiting Zeppoli's.  My daughter ordered her favorite meal, the Pesce Spada alla Griglia.  The swordfish was beautifully seared and crusted, giving way to a moist, delicate, light, pearl-white, tender, flaky fish, emphasizing the mild, savory & citrus flavors, paired with delicious seasoned and sweet fennel and oranges, bringing the perfect partnership to this dish. The Scallops were on top of a bed of mildly seasoned lemon Risotto, mixed with Pancetta, which had me speechless.  The scallops were flawlessly cleaned and prepared, with a beautiful, seared, caramelized crusted, golden-brown presentation. The lemon reduction added richness to the soft, silky Risotto, enriching the dish with a savory texture from the Pancetta.  Mouth-watering with so much flavor.  We did get the Zeppoli Siciliano and Cherry Sorbetti that we were not able to get pictures with us being so full.  I want to thank Chef Blake, Taylor, Arturo, Nick, Jackie, Dan, and everyone at Zeppoli's for another brilliant meal! Excellent Service.

    What can I say? This "neighborhood" spot is not the usual. It's a special treat, yet nearby. Excellent, attentive service. Delicious menu with flavors. Small and cozy. Yes, I'll be back to see you Chef Joey Baldino. Maybe at Zeppoli, maybe at Palizzi!

    Zeppoli had been on our list to try for several years. It is not easy to get a reservation because of the great reviews. Zeppoli constantly shows up as one of top Italian restaurants in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas. The space is small but has ample parking behind the restaurant. Zeppoli is located in West Collingswood and not in the downtown area on Haddon Ave. It is across the street from La Beiruit. The inside is small and charming but loud as to be expected. The service and food was very good. It definitely lived up to expectations and the hype. The squid ink pasta was probably the best we have ever had. Everything was delicious, flavorful and excellent. The only problem or problems we had was when checking the menu on Zeppoli's web page there was a prix fixe and a la carte option and prices listed for both options. However, upon arrival on a Sunday night we were told only the prix fixe options were available. Not a big deal, but this could have been clarified on the web site. Appetizer, pasta and dessert is $45.00 and appetizer, main and dessert is $55.00. Add $10 for the steak. Not inexpensive but not outrageous for the quality of food. If you want additional bread it is an extra $5.00. This is worth it as the bread was home made and delicious. 4.5 Yelp stars for Zeppoli and we would definitely go back.

    We had the full four-course meal to celebrate a special occasion. The food and service were amazing! The standouts were the shrimp with cannellini beans appetizer, the lemon pasta, pesto pasta, swordfish, and seafood stew. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate almond cake and the lemon panna cotta cake, which we had to take to go, because we were too full! Everything truly was phenomenal.

    Prime time dinner slots were hard to come by, but I managed to snag my husband and I a 6:30pm reservation for Sunday dinner. Going into dinner, I had high hopes for Zeppoli. Inside, it was casual but intimate. There were about 11 tables. For dinner, Zeppoli offers a 3-course dinner for $55, or if you're hungry, a 4-course dinner for $75. We saw people around us who ordered the 4-course dinner, and their entrée courses were massive. Ribeye steaks, whole fish, half roasted chicken, etc -- the 4-course dinner truly is a great deal. We decided to go with the 3-course dinner anyway. For our first course, I had the Whole Shrimp sauteed with garlic, while my husband had the Tomato and bread salad with capers and Sicilian white anchovies. Salad was pretty good, but the whole shrimp was amazing. You have to get that. After the whole shrimp, everything started to go downhill. For our pastas, my husband and I both had the same pasta course -- the Tagliatelli al Limone topped with Sicilian bottarga, a salted cured fish roe. The dish itself would have been perfect if not for the excess lemon juice. The pasta was way too sour to enjoy. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake, and my husband had the Zeppoli Siciliano. The Zeppoli Siciliano were two perfect zeppolis sitting on top of Nutella spread and was good. The chocolate cake was disappointing. It was like a poorly made brownie with cream on top. I will not be getting the chocolate cake next time.

    Complimentary Bread

    With so many restaurants in the world, it's rare I like something enough to order twice, but as my pictures (two orders of almost all the same stuff) suggest, I like Zeppoli enough. For take-out, the complimentary bread/olive oil are actually worth eating and as far as the pastas go: - My partner loved the pesto trapanese, although I would pass. - Usually I'm a hard no on tomato-based pastas, but the rigatoni is mind-blowingly seasoned. - The tagliatelli was just wow. Truthfully, I'd never had a lemon pasta before, but it's right up there with cacio e pepe for me now. The only thing we didn't order twice was the gnocchi, which wasn't special compared to everything else. I didn't dine-in, so I don't know what the experience is like (although I imagine a bit "chaotic" because the restaurant is so small/packed both times we picked up food) but I definitely recommend Zeppoli based solely on the food!

You can feel that it's family-owned-and-operated. The 3-course set menu was great--we had three in our dinner party, so we automatically received 8 mezze + paper-thin pita (refilled without asking when the staff saw we were running low) to share, we each picked 1 of 10 entrees, and each chose 1 of 3 desserts for the final course. Some of the mezze (all delicious!): fattoush salad, hummus, baba ghannouj, labne, mouhamara, warak enab bel zeit, soujouk, batata harra. I had the Mixed Grill for One, which allowed me to try the Shish Taouk (grilled marinated chicken with special garlic sauce), Shish Kebab (grilled marinated filet mignon), Lamb Chop with grilled onion, tomato, jalapeño, roasted potatoes. And for dessert, I chose the cotton candy (halva floss) ice cream with pistachios (another diner had the rose water milk pudding)--both desserts had great flavor in the toppings, but little flavor in the ice cream/pudding.

    WARNING: THIS RESTAURANT REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY CHANGE WITH A CASH PAYMENT…read more Stopped here for lunch with some friends during the Haddonfield Arts Festival. It was a chance to refresh from the heat and grab a bite. With all the choice of restaurants, we did not choose well. The three of us were in there almost an hour to have lunch. Two of us ordered the shrimp kebab entrees, one ordered the chicken kebab. It took almost half an hour for those to come out. The shrimp plate had only THREE shrimp! For $21. The chicken plate had FOUR small pieces of chicken. Service was terrible and the food was just OK, although the vegetables were good. The surprise came when the bill was delivered. They do not provide change!!! If you pay a $61 check with a $100 bill, or any bills greater than the amount, you get nothing back! They just presume that's what you want to tip!

    Meh Mediterranean in a daycare setting…read more Before I even reached the door, the walls of a crying infant arose from a family dining al fresco at Norma's in Cherry Hill. Restless little ones blocked the entry, setting the tone for my overall Saturday evening experience. That Norma's is popular, there can be no doubt. We had no reservations, and felt lucky to snag a table. The place was bustling, servers had their hands full, we were obliged to be patient until ours arrived. I love Norma's menu -- my partner is vegetarian, so Mediterranean works great for us. I went the veggie route as well, starting with a lentil and ckickpea soup that was hot and savory and the high point of my meal. Other appetizers we enjoyed were the spanikopita and the cheese manaeesh, second to none. My veggie skewer was perfectly charred yet light. After such a promising start, then, our entrees came as quite a disappointment. My partner opted for the falafel salad, and while Norma's falafel are indeed superior, the salad was a bit of a mess, too ... wet, diluting the dressing, leaving runny runoff on the plate. But the greatest misfire wss the mixed kabobs entree I ordered. Everything about it was underwhelming -- these are signature items that should be stand+outs, but weren't. The kabobs were just okay, lacking in appeal, resting on a bed of rice that was unremarkable except for how cold it was. I suspect my plate had been held too long. I know they would have fixed it had I asked -- but seriously, I was up to *here* with all the kids. While I was eating, a woman behind me gathered up her gaggle of tots, squeezing out of the way to make room for a baby carriage the size of a Volkswagen. Does Norma's deserve a second chance? Sure. Next time, I'll stick with the appetizers and stay close to my wine glass lest the kindergarteners in my vicinity cause my nerves to fray.
