    I enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch at Cafe Aldo. We shared a Caesar salad(I would have liked them to split it in the kitchen). I had excellent Veal Saltimbocca and my friend had sweet potato gnocchis. I had indicated on the reservation that it was a birthday lunch and at the end of the meal two biscotti arrived with the best sparkler I’ve ever seen in a restaurant!

    Quaint dining spot in the heart of Haddonfield. Amazing brunch menu. The house made sausage is the best I’ve had since my dad’s. It had lots of flavor and loved that it had spice, too. Will be back for dinner and save room to try the Canolli.

    The restaurant was perfect for a Valentine’s Day dinner. The ambience was romantic, the menu had a very nice variety for the select Valentine’s Day three course meal, and the signature drinks were delicious. One of the best espresso martinis we’ve ever had at a restaurant. My girlfriend was given a rose with the bill, which was a great final touch. Highly recommend!

    Had the most lovely birthday dinner during the Toscono menu. Chef Liz & Co. served a fantastic dinner that had my fiancé and I stuffed to the gills (in the best way possible!!). It was such a wonderful treat to experience Tuscany through Chef Liz’s eyes! The boar ragù with fresh pappardelle was out of this world! Don’t miss out on this culinary gem!
