"This was our third trip to this retaurant. We recommended it to friends because we loved it so much and we especially love the courtyard. Eating in the courtyard is a must as long as the weather permits. It was a little chilly but we
didn't mind dressing a little warmer in order to enjoy the ambience. We ordered the crab and avacado appetizer special which was outstanding, as well as the long hots and gnocchi which were very good as well. However the entrees were not as good as we have had in the past. No one was in love with any of their choices. Not bad, just not great. Maybe just an off night in the kitchen. Still, all in all, I highly recommend this restaurant.

"Had an enjoyable dinner with friends. Everyone enjoyed their dinner selections. I ordered one of the veal dishes. The veal was tender and yummy. Only complaint is despite having a reservation we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. We could have been seated right away if we wanted to sit outside but it was too chilly for that since the patio heaters were not on. Would go back."

"Really fine food and impeccable service. Our waiter was Michael for two consecutive Saturday evenings. He's a true professional and understands the Bistro menu from top to bottom. He was not only attentive to our group, he remembered us by name when we returned one week later."

"Bistro Di Marino was a great find. The food was spectacular especially the award winning gnocchi. It is a BYOB and there was not a corking fee. They also allowed us to bring in a birthday cake and did not charge a cutting fee. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a great way to celebrate a birthday with family."

"Food!! If any other reason to come here it is for the food. Every thing we had was excellent. And the Gnocchi's.....OMG works. Best iv'e ever had. The sampler is good enough and large enough to also be an entree. Staff is friendly and fast.Place is clean with beautiful hardwood floors. Table settings nice and clean Parking is street on Haddon ave or side street so be prepared to walk a block if needed. Only issue, is the chairs. Not very confortable and most were loose and wobbly. Even my 8 yo daughter had to switch one out. Was afraid would fall apart under her. Prices are fair becuase of how good the food is. Id say $$ for apps and $$$ for entree's. And remember to BYOB. No bar here. I would recommend to friends and family for sure."

"My wife and I went here for our 8th anniversary. We had a good time. Great food, excellent wait staff. Usually it's a very romantic environment. But we were put in the same run as a suprise 60th birthday party. Ruined the romantic mood. The hostess was not the friendliest person either."

"The food was great. The service was outstanding. The wait staff is one of the best I have ever experienced. I find it hard to believe the wait staff is that good all the time. I do need to find out by going back.
It was very noisy but that's because we had 2 birthday tables near us, but better to be noise and energetic than quiet and dead.
Great place."

"What an illusion. When I first saw the place I was wondering how the restraurant was going to feed alot of people. But, as I walked through the first door, my guest and I were greeded then was asked if we wanted to sit in the courtyard. Inside, they did have great sitting but the outside had GREAT sitting also. The sun was about to go down and we had music and in my opinion the best server was(Chris). I am very light hearted and very amusing. So Chris really got all of my kidding and laughter. I must say, Bistro DiMarino hired the right server to greet and serve. By the way, the appitizers and the meal was amazing. Great restraurant. Definitely will be back."

"We went for the first time to celebrate my son's birthday based on the reviews from Opentable. The food and service was fantastic! I was extremely impressed at our waiter's sensitivity to my mother is elderly and walks with a walker. He offered to help her with her walker, hold her to get down the steps - we go out to dinner fairly often and have NEVER had that kind of service and caring!!! We were incredibly impressed - beyond words! The after dinner shot was perfect - delicious and hit the spot. Very nice! We will definitely go back!! I highly recommend!!!"

"We were a party of seven on Saturday night. The restaurant graciously changed our party size from six to seven at the last minute. We shared 3 appetizers and all were amazing. The gnocchi did not disappoint despite the glowing reviews. I highly recommend the baked gnocchi in cream sauce with panchetta. My ribeye was good (not great) but all of the other entrees were exceptional."

"Several customer reviews recommended the gnocchi, so we tried the sampler (choose three of six types offered). I am not a gnocchi expert but the texture was buttery soft, not chewy, and the sauces were savory. One thing for which I praise the chef is that he uses salt sparingly in his sauces. It is easy to make a sauce seem tasty when you have loaded it with salt. The sauces stood on their own merit without unnecessary saltiness. I would suggest you bring a wine which is not too tannic or robust. The portions are generous without being ridiculous. Dinners were prepared quickly, without a lengthy wait. Staff was warm and welcoming. I will return."

"We had a great time Saturday night. Even with a reservation, we had to wait 20 minutes. Once we were seated, our waiter, Michael, was very attentive. Food was really good, and of course, the gnocchi were to die for. Restaurant is a little loud, but the vibe is great (the place was packed). Would definitely go back!"

"Awesome! Every time we go to Bistro Di Marino it is terrific. The service is always prompt and friendly. The food is homemade and delicious.
We enjoyed two specials. The artichoke crab dip appetizer and the flounder with shrimp. Many times with fish the sauce is so overpowering that you can barely taste the fish. We usually push the sauce to the side. Not so at Bistro. The sauce complimented the fish well and we found ourselves double dipping.
The complimentary shot of chocolate cello was awesome as was the attention from one of the owners Mike.
Can't wait for warm weather and the Bistro patio. If you have not experienced the Bistro patio then you are missing a gem. Great experience complimented with terrific food and ser"

"We had a fabulous meal and service. Wonderful place for many occasions, big or small! The only downside to the night was that our table was lopsided and despite our waiter trying to fix it (which we greatly appreciated) it continued to wobble the rest of our meal. Other than that I would highly recommend bistro to anyone!"

"Our reservation was for 8:30 pm, so it was quiet. That's a good thing to keep in mind. The food was very good and our waiter, Chris, was attentive and made us feel welcome. It was too cold to dine outside in the courtyard. Maybe next time!"

"I have been to Bistro many times and have always enjoyed it. It is one of my favorite restaurants. Everyone in my group really enjoyed their experience as well. All but one are repeat customers and all would definitely come again, including the one newcomer to the group. Thank you for making our dining experience a very pleasant one."

"I hadn't been to Bistro di Marino in a while and boy am I glad I went back. Our waiter, Tim, was outstanding. He was very attentive, knowledgeable and just plain sweet. We enjoyed an appetizer special of grilled asparagus with roasted red peppers, mozzarella in a balsamic reduction that was to die for. Dinner was great too! We didn't have any room for dessert, but will definitely be back soon! You have got to try this place!"

"Rib-eye steak arrived over cooked from the requested medium. The rib-eye was devoid of marbling, consequently it was very dry.
My five other companion diners enjoyed their respective meals immensely. All considered their meal good value for the price, especially the meatball first course."

"Dined during the 3 course for $25 weekly special. Excellent choices and food was delicious. Portions were more than we could eat even at the special price. Our waiter Christopher handled our table as a true professional -something not seen at all the other local restaurants. We will make sure this at the top of our dining out schedule."

"This was our first time dining at this establishment and we were so very impressed with the entire experience. This is a BYOB, so I like that , but I have to praise the chef...the food was superb. The gnocchi was second to none and the filet was prepared exactly to our liking. What impressed me the most was the owner came to our table to check and make sure our meals were good. Not only that but he offered us his homemade chocolate cream cello which was awesome. Now that is how customer service is supposed to be....I would absolutely recommend this restaurant and I will be going back very soon."

"I can't believe I am saying this but it was almost too much food. Our party of four each had a soup, salad or appetizer which were very generous. Then our entrees came and the portions were humungous. We all took some home. Oh yeah, we shared dessert. Our palates were tantalized. Our server, Jeremy, had just the right degree of attentiveness so the meal was very enjoyable. We will be back as we are bringing a business/friend this next weekend. Owner came by and that is always a great chance to let them know how it went. We are very happy with Collingswood as our go to meeting place for a good meal."
