Albertino's Italian - Berlin

Saw a review on pasta cheese-wheel-Wednesday in a food FB group and immediately called to make tonight’s reservation for my wife and I on a day off. Spoke to a nice young man who I believe is a brother of this very much family owned and operated Italian restaurant and was rolling silverware and napkin wrap ups when I went to the restroom. Dad and sister cook. Oldest sister was our waitress. I’ll even bet the busboys is related somehow.Started with the homemade bread and olive oil. Sparkling water with lemon (no limes)The house made Caesar dressing and croutons elevated this traditional and delicious version.The star of the show is the Cacio de Pepe, prepared table side by the sister who also chefs. Last time I had this experience it was Parmesan cheese which I preferred yet it was exactly as expected: cheesy rich and delicious. Wished there was more pepper. We enjoyed it.Main course for my bride was their only veal dish as this is a limited to four items menu. She enjoyed it as did I who tasted it. The lemon chicken needed more lemon for my liking. Wished there was a steak choice. Special was a fish. No other specials offeredService was outstanding.For a Wednesday the place was packed at 5:45pm. Clearly the word is out about this family gem in Collingswood.

The food was amazing, as was the service. The artichoke appetizer was delicious and I would love to be able to buy the olive oil it was marinated in alone. We had the bruschetta special which was delicious. For our primi, the cacio e pepe was phenomenal (best pasta I've had since traveling in Italy) as was the fettuccine. Between the appetizers and pasta we barely had room for our secondi, but we aimed to order the classic antipasti, primi, secondi style to try as much as possible. The secondi (chicken and pork) were equally high quality and will be enjoyed for days to come as the portions were very generous. I regret not having any room left for dessert, but we'll pace ourselves better next time.

What a phenomenal experience. Our first visit but it won't be our last. The artichoke appetizer was the best artichoke we've ever had. Family run and we appreciated the personal touch. Best Italian meal we've had outside of Italy!Food: 5/5

We had a delicious and decadent meal. We ordered two pasta dishes and two meat dishes. Pork chop was amazing. Everything was excellent. The service could not be better, I love family owned family ran restaurants. I felt like family by the time we left. Our waitress, Vittoria was absolutely fantastic. And I apologize if I spelled your name wrong start to finish there was nothing wrong with this meal or the entire evening. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

I loved Albertinos. The bread ,the atmosphere, the food, the service all top tier. Authentic cuisine, amazing ambiance. Its warm and welcoming. The owner came over and greeted us, it felt like a old friend stopped by to say hello. It so nice. Make your reservations bring your friends and family and enjoy yourselves we sure did.Food: 5/5
