Restaurant Details

This 35-seat Sicilian-focused BYOB in Collingswood is run by chef-owner Joey Baldino, the force behind the food at Palizzi Social Club. Where the Palizzi feels, well, clubby, thanks to its checkerboard tile floors, leather bar seats, and members-only rule, Zeppoli is brighter and more spare, though often equally packed. The $55 prix fixe has to be one of the best deals in the greater Philadelphia area, with three dishes included, but add-ons allowed — encouraged, even. The delicate tagliatelle al limone comes with either prosciutto or a shaving of bottarga, balancing the buttery citrus sauce with a pop of salt, while the spaghetti vongole is some of the best anywhere. The restaurant gets its name from the fresh-from-the-fryer Italian doughnuts covered in cinnamon sugar and served in puddles of chocolate that cap off the meal, and you’d be remiss if you didn’t tag them on at the end.
