This place is amazing. All of the homemade pastas were absolutely delicious! The gnocchi and pesto trapanese were my 2 favorites. The rigatoni was also AWESOME! They had a burrata special as an appetizer and I should have ordered 2 just for myself- so good! I had the swordfish as my entrée and it was by far the best and most flavorful swordfish I have ever had! I crave this place daily! The service was awesome also! They threw in an additional free appetizer for us in the beginning and some on the house homemade specialty Italian drinks at the end! I definitely recommend trying this place ASAP

This is a review I have been looking forward to writing, Saturday evening two top sitting by the Avenue we shared the antipasto for two, I believe there were 18 different components which were all seasons perfectly.
Enjoyed with a beautiful bread basket consisting of two types of focaccia and one seeded semolina bread which were very fresh.
It was a beautiful evening on the Avenue with wine, antipasto and fresh bread watching my wife clutch her Louie as the local random‘s walked closely by to visit the quickie Mart for their libations.
We had the gnocchi alla argentiera, very soft and flavorful

Absolutely divine. Gnocchi were to die for, light, fluffy with a creamy texture. Served in a brown butter and sage .. not a even tad greasy. The specials .. a full fish served in a light wine sauce with olives. Cooked perfectly. Fileted on the tables melted in our mouths. We also ordered the risotto with shrimp, mussels and cockel clams with spinach. Creamy yet not heavy risotto .. did not over power the freshness of the seafood.

Zeppoli, in my opinion, is the best Sicilian restaurant in the south Jersey/Philadelphia area, and possibly the best Italian BYOB. It's nice to try a restaurant that isn't your standard red sauce fare. Dishes are classic Sicilian like the spaghetti vongole (cockled clams), and the pesto trapanese (almond-pistachio pesto). The scallop crudo with a watermelon granita was one of the most memorable dishes I've had in a while. The gnocchi was also something jot commonly seen, using spinach and ricotta with caciocavallo cheese. The star of the night for me was the grilled swordfish served with lemon

Make sure to make a reservation to this BYO gem. This tiny restaurant serves great Sicilian foods. I was given a recommendation to try Zeppoli when I was in the area. I was not disappointed. The restaurant has 35 seats... not tables, seats. The kitchen is open to the seating area so the aroma of the various foods on the limited menu fill the room. The menu has 3 columns- Starters, Pastas, and Main Entrees. The breads are homemade and served with olive oil with herbs, olives and lemon. The courses are reasonably sized. I started with a traditional panzanella salad with crisp bread, tomatoes and

Amazing! Went in with very high expectations and realized my expectations were not high enough. Yes it’s small. Yes it can be loud because it’s small. Yes it’s pricey. Yes it’s worth it! Only complaint is that it’s VERY difficult to get a table at a good time. That’s not really a criticism but the mark of a fantastic restaurant.
Can’t wait to go back!!!
