LOVE this restaurant ?
We've been going here 40 years. Always good. Reasonable prices. Sam our server did a great job.
I recently discovered this hidden gem of a restaurant while visiting the aquarium. I decided to try it out and I am so glad I did. The food was excellent - the eggplant Parmesan dinner was delicious and the crab salad was awesome. Next time, I will definitely bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with my meal.
Best small restaurant around ?... food is great been coming here sense I was a teenager
Everything was perfect and delicious! A must-visit in South Jersey, the whole family was delighted. The BYOB option makes it even more affordable for groups of families. We will definitely be going back!

First time there. Food was to die. Gave you plenty of food. It was 8 of us. And not one of us left hungry. Gave you soup and salad with your meal. And you never feel rush to leave. Waiter was very friendly. And would keep asking if there was anything we needed. My husband and I plan on coming back often. Thank you for a great visit, and we will be back.
I came in with a few friends who have never been here before, and they were beyond impressed. The portions, prices, and quality of food were outstanding. Our server Ryan was the best and filled them in on all the details. He made sure we had everything we needed and, though he was very busy he made us feel like we were his only table. Needless to say we were all very pleased.

We visited Cotardo's for my birthday dinner and were promptly seated and attended to. Our server, Donna, was outstanding—friendly and accommodating, always eager to help with a smile. We truly felt welcomed. With our meals, we enjoyed fresh garlic bread, soup, and salad. The food was fantastic! We'll definitely be returning!
I had my birthday dinner here with my mom and it was EXCELLENT. truly five star experience. The service was the best I’ve ever received anywhere. The food was cooked perfect and everything was quick. Raul was our server and he was very attentive and nice. The meal portions are big you get your moneys worth for sure. I can’t wait to eat here again. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Haven't been here in years...Figured we'd give it a go.. Waitress was a hot mess... Forgot what she came to the table for 2x... Then...handed out salad before soup...Apologized... wrong salad dressing.. Blue cheese instead of ranch... Apologized. Okay minor mistake.. Then food came out COMPLETELY wrong... Apologized... for mishap... 45 minutes later... Oh. You can keep your wrong meal, we will give you a new meal but you are fully charged... Okay. No thank you. Took mine to go... We will not be back any time soon!

Great service, generous portions and delicious dishes. Reservations aren't available however so be sure to either arrive earlier for dinner or patiently wait. Seating was done quickly.
This was our first time here and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back
I just have to say that every time I order the chicken Alessandro, I am never let down! I couldn't dine in tonight, so I opted for takeout and was incredibly pleased. Plus, I know they will have enough left over for a delicious lunch tomorrow! Their salad is fantastic, especially when paired with their Italian garlic bread. And their soup is always a comforting choice. Overall, I highly recommend it - chef's kiss!
