Giumarello's

Be sure to make your reservations month's ahead of time if you want to come here for Valentine's Day. I would recommend this place above all else on this day. The food and atmosphere is non-comparable.

I have been going to Giumarellos Restaurant since it was in the heart of Haddon Heights. Even when it moved to Haddon Twp, I continued to frequent this place. They have awesome entrees and great appetizers!

Giamarellos is family owned and operated. A fantastic, romantic place for a meal. Black Angus steak is cooked to perfection!! Unbelievable Maine Lobster!!! It is worth the trip just for the Martini Bar. They also boast an extensive wine list. Top of the pick!!!

the food was good. my steak was definitely a high quality steak, very very tender- but i would say preparation was average. the caramel gelato was delicious, probably the best part of my meal.
all of this, however, was completely overshadowed by the terrible service. it was 20 minutes after we sat down before anyone saw us or brought us a drink, and for any subsequent drinks i had to flag my waitress down. for $135 (apps, coffee and dessert, no drinks), i expect better service.
then to top it all off, the guys in the valet area were completely rude. it was our first time there (and last) and weren't aware the parking lot was VALET ONLY. (there is a small self park section in the front that was full). since we didn't know it was valet, we had no cash, as usual. i realize not tipping the valet is completely tacky, and felt embarassed and awful about it UNTIL the valet person (dressed like he was working at the car wash, not a nice restaurant) made a comment about how he didn't realize he was working "charity service".
maybe if they worked on their staff i would return, but not otherwise. i would much rather go elsewhere and spend less than half as much and be treated much better. the food wasn't nearly good enough to outweigh the rest of my experience.

A friend took me to this place for my birthday. I loved it. My meal was delicious and the portions were big enough to provide me with lunch the next day. I didn't sample the desserts, but I'll be back to do that. Service was very fast and friendly.

We have been eating at Giumarello's for years now and there is no comparison to any other Italian restaurants around and they keep improving. We always have friendly, knowledgable servers and the food is always cooked to perfection. They have an amazing martini menu and their new bar area is better than any we've seen. We have gone with friends to different restaurants in the city and we'd much rather go to Giumarello's, where we know we always have a great time and an exceptional dining experience.

I recently was taken to dinner here. What a wonderful restaurant. I'm sorry I didn't know about it. The service was great, food was superb, and the atmosphere is lovey. An area treasure.

This place has a great ambiance, fantastic food, adn exceptional service. There Crab cakes were moth watering, the best in Jersey! You have to try the lobster mac & cheese.

Though I can see why many other people would like this place, I think that this place is overrated. I have been here on several occasions because my friends like going here, but I would not recommend it. The same sauce, though good, is on virtually everything. My salad was too oily, as was my friend's. The martini list is great, but we ended up leaving because the music was so dreadful. The best part was definitlely the service, which I can see is why people might go back. Just don't go with high expectations.

During my adult life I have had the pleasure of having many dining experiences (personal/professional). Over that period I have had my share of both good and bad experiences . However, I have never "actually" written a review until now. I have been to Giumarello's on a few occasions . During this past holiday season I convinced eight of my neighbors to have our annual night out at Giumarello's. Overall the experience was "fair" for me however, it was not good for the other seven members of my party. SInce that time I have had one additional experience at this place and it will be my last! I am writing this review because I would not recommend this restaurant per the poor service, however, mainly the rude and prejudice management/owners.
I live roughly 20 minutes from Westmont NJ and would NEVER visit this place again even if the food and drinks were free. Fortunately, there are numerous other restaurants within walking distance of this place that are nice and treat their customers with respect.
I hope this review helps others avoid a very bad dining experience.
