    Will not return after being a great customer having my daughters wedding shower and my sons rehearsal dinner. No lemons no bread and an up charge of 5.00 for mashed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes which is crazy. They lost a great customer. Manager wasn’t of any help

    As always, a delightful meal in a lovely setting. The weather was accommodating so we ate out on the patio. My friends had the Veal Gino while I opted for the Ahi Tuna, and we shared a gnocchi misto appetizer. Everyone enjoyed their selections. For dessert, we tried the chocolate layer cake and the lemon cake. Both were delicious!

    In a word, it was terrible! Nothing like we've ever experienced there since it opened - and we've been there a lot. Our server seemed either uninformed or was very new - as though he wasn't familiar with the menu items. And he seemed to get lost for long periods of time. They were out of many items/ingredients so we really didn't get our first choices. One appetizer in our party of 4 arrived alone - the other 3 were not delivered to us until 15 minutes later!! The Bucatini (Summer special) was bland - no taste and very dry (the bucatini was one of the items they were "out of" - linguini was substituted. It was just an awful night - no help from our server. We thought for sure they would comp the 2 desserts we ordered....or at the very least serve us an after dinner digestif as was served to several of the tables around us - the four-tops that arrived after us but were served well before us. This was not the restaurant I've known since they opened. There was something definitely wrong there (both in the kitchen and with our server) that night.

    Went back after a few years and was pleasantly surprised how improved this restaurant was. The gnocchi were delicious and we liked that we were able to order appetizer portions. My chicken entree and my wife’s seafood entree were very good and we had plenty to take home. Spacious and clean space, attentive servers and BYOB. Will definitely make a return visit.

    Been here many times, usually go to Washington Twp, but closed on Monday. Love the ambiance in Collingswood. Our service this time was less than optimal. The waiter never came back after food was served, never offered any Parmesan cheese, our water was never refilled and never offered coffee or dessert. Even after taking the bill he never even said thank you. First time I have been dissatisfied, seems as though the event going on in the other room received more attention.

    We expected the weather to be bad and that we’d have to eat inside, but it turned out to be fine and we were lucky to be able to sit outside on their lovely patio. We were attended to immediately but for some reason a few tables that were seated after us received their dinners first. I started with the pear and Gorgonzola salad, which was excellent although too large. Between the two of us we managed to eat all the goodies, though. There were many choices that sounded delicious, but I went with a standard- penne vodka, which was good but not outstanding. My husband had the lobster fettuccine, which he enjoyed. We were surprised when we had to ask for grated cheese and cracked pepper, both of which are usually offered when served. The portions were enormous and both of us brought home enough for another meal. No room for dessert!

    Food was really good. No complaints. Waiter was really great as well, some of the backup servers were a bit lost. We sat out in the courtyard/back patio. The ambience was nice but the chairs were absolutely horrible. You honestly couldn’t get more uncomfortable, which really took away from the whole experience. I would go back, but definitely would like to see some better seating outside.

    First of all, when we walked up to the restaurant we could smell the stench of bad fish. So we immediately decided not to order anything with seafood in it. So we had the baked gnocchi (one of their specialties). It was a pile of sticky potatoes in a way too salty coagulated “sauce.” Big, thick chunks of irregular potato stuck together. It was an unappealing startchy pile of potato mush. It was supposed to have mushrooms and greens and barely had either. Since the repulsive pile of mush was one of their “specialties” we opted not to test the waters of dessert or coffee. The outdoor patio is ok. Not very interesting or well-kept in terms of landscape, but the lighting was nice.

    The collingswood location is the best bistro do Marino as they continue to expand. It’s the most consistent and has the best outdoor area. We went for a birthday, we’re seated right away outside as requested and food was quick. Gnocchi was perfect as usual and they bring shots at the end of the meal which is never a bad thing!

    I have been here many times and was always happy. Last night not so much. Food was not up to their usual standards. There were four of us, two of my friends it was their first time. I don't think they will be back. Can not judge a place because of one bad night. Received an e-mail with a copy of the summer menu, none of them where available. We were given menus that had winter written on them. I'll probably go back some time in the future but if it is like this last meal I will stop going forever.

    Wonderful experience despite it being totally hooked for Mother's Day. We had 345p res (2nd seating) so there was zero wait to be seated, and longer wait for our food. However , waiters kept us informed and updated. 3rd seating after us will have a different opinion I am sure.

    We waited over an hour and a half for our entrees and we’re told the kitchen was backed up. When the meals finally arrived my husbands chicken parm was missing the pasta, but the kids were so antsy from sitting for 2 hours we just dealt with it to get done quicker. No one apologized or made any deal out of the delay so I guess it was commonplace.

    SUPER SUPPPppper overpriced. Like by $6-$10 per entrees. How is a SIDE plate of plain penne with red sauce $11? How? Cost the restaurant like .80 cents for that side but they're charging $11? Same with the entrees. How is a pasta dish with some chicken/ other protein $27+!? You flying to Italy for the ingredients or something? The audacity to charge 5 star restaurant prices in a random Jersey suburb. Food was good. Not worth the crazy expensive price though. Especially when you can get the same exact dishes elsewhere for almost half the price tag. On a positive note: the outside dining area is very nice and our server was also pretty good.

    We came here for my son’s 16th birthday. He wanted to go to a “nice Italian restaurant” and we chose an excellent one! The service alone is worth the trip, and the food is outstanding. Our server and the entire staff didn’t kiss a beat and made sure our drinks remained full and we enjoyed our meal. In a time where many places are short-staffed and unpleasant to dine in, it’s refreshing to know that Bistro DiMarino exists. We can’t wait to go back!
