2 Collingswood Restaurants Named Among NJ's Best By NJ Monthly

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Two Collingswood restaurants have been named among the 30 best restaurants in New Jersey by NJ Monthly Magazine.

Hearthside and Zeppoli were both named to the latest list, which was published in late October. Hearthside is located at 801 Haddon Avenue. Zeppoli is located at 618 Collings Avenue.

Here’s what the magazine had to say about Hearthside:

“The sizzle returned to Hearthside in late September, when the restaurant and its wood-burning grill and oven reopened after being closed nearly seven months. The sizzle was literal—servers sending out porterhouse steaks and hot skillets of whole prawns roasted over the fire in chili-citrus butter. Chef/owner Dominic Piperno again allowed himself to indulge in his favorite menu item—ours too—red snapper ceviche in orange vinaigrette with elderflower syrup, garnished with cilantro, shallots and avocado purée. BYO.”

Here’s what the magazine had to say about Zeppoli:

“Chef Joey Baldino’s core menu remains Sicilian, like his roots, but late autumn brings two hearty specials to fight the frost. Both involve pasta, his great passion. There will be tortellini filled with puréed pumpkin and butternut squash, cosseted in a sauce of sage and brown butter. Pappardelle, broad and silky, will be lavished with a cocoa-powder enriched ragù made from braised shoulder of wild boar. One thing you can always count on is peerless pistachio gelato, made from nuts imported from Sicily.”
