Il Fiore

Nestled in the charming heart of Collingswood, New Jersey, Il Fiore stands as a beacon of authentic Italian cuisine, inviting diners to embark on a sensory journey through Italy’s most beloved flavors. This elegant Italian restaurant, located at 693-695 Haddon Ave, masterfully blends a warm, rustic atmosphere with a refined dining experience, perfect for everything from intimate dinners to joyful celebrations.

The menu at Il Fiore is a vivid celebration of Italy’s rich culinary heritage. Start your meal with an exquisite Antipasto Freddo, a vibrant assortment of cured meats and carefully selected cheeses that awaken the palate. Fans of seafood will fall in love with the Zuppa Di Cozze—farm-raised mussels served either in a delicate white wine and lemon sauce or a robust plum tomato base. Another standout appetizer is the Grilled Calamari, tender and marinated with zesty lemon, fragrant garlic, and fresh herbs, grilled to smoky perfection.

For main courses, Il Fiore offers impeccable veal dishes such as the Vitello Con Funghi E Carciofi, where tender veal scaloppini are sautéed with artichokes, mushrooms, and fresh tomatoes in a velvety Pinot Grigio white wine sauce, delivering layers of earthy and bright flavors. The Vitello Il Fiore enchants with medallions in a garlic white wine sauce, generously accented with sweet crabmeat and sundried tomatoes—a dish that truly exemplifies culinary finesse.

Seafood lovers can indulge in the Salmone Al Forno, an oven-roasted salmon infused with sun-dried tomatoes and capers bathed in a fragrant white wine and lemon sauce, offering a harmonious balance of richness and acidity. For those craving robust meat options, the 24oz Rib Eye served with broccoli, carrots, green beans, and mushrooms in sauce on the side stands out as a hearty, flavor-packed feast.

No Italian dining experience is complete without decadent desserts, and Il Fiore does not disappoint. The creamy, delicate Tiramisu and the luscious Italian Rum Cake create memorable sweet finales that perfectly complement the savory courses. Also noteworthy are the Cannoli and the whimsically named Dark Side of the Moon Cake, offering a delightful range of textures and tastes that linger on the palate.

The dining atmosphere at Il Fiore wraps guests in an authentic Italian embrace—full of warmth, lively energy, and rustic charm. While the buzz of a busy dining room is a testament to its popularity, some visitors have noted the noise level can grow quite spirited, adding to an unmistakable, bustling trattoria vibe. The service staff generally leaves a positive impression as attentive and respectful, though a few moments of waiting, especially during peak hours, remind diners of the restaurant's high demand and authentic neighborhood appeal.

Il Fiore also offers a BYOB policy, a thoughtful nod to those who wish to pair their meal with a personal favorite bottle, with staff going the extra mile to chill wines in ice, enhancing the overall dining experience.

This restaurant radiates a deep respect for Italian culinary tradition while serving dishes brimming with freshness, richness, and heartfelt craftsmanship. Whether marking a special occasion or simply savoring a night out, Il Fiore invites guests to indulge in exceptional Italian flavors and warm, genuine hospitality.
