Illiano Cucina - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I recently visited Illiano's with a large party, and we had an excellent experience. Our server, Dina, was fantastic—she was attentive to all of our needs and managed everything with ease. Her great sense of humor made our evening even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious! Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we'll definitely be returning soon!

We ordered Togo; the mozzarella sticks: they weren’t homemade, however they were good! The salad was good, The wings were tasty but if you prefer crispy let them know! We ordered a calzone that was very tasty!

Excellent food and excellent service 👌

My family visited Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge and came here for a late lunch. The food was delicious and the service was great. (The bathrooms are very clean!). We were a party of seven and were seated in a large round table. The restaurant offered us a delicious bread basket with “red bread” that was piping hot from the oven. It was focaccia with marinara sauce the rolls were delicious too. Pasta dishes come with a choice of salad or minestrone. The soup was homemade and delicious. My family enjoyed the house made dressing in the salad. I had the Sicilian which was sautéed eggplant in red sauce with linguine (my choice of pasta). I was full from the bread but ate my entire lunch. My smarter family members took home leftovers.

My favorite restaurant. Quantity and quality of food is excellent and the service is great.

So many restaurants have come and gone, but Illianos continues to deliver spectacular meals and they don't hit you over the head with their prices! The Halibut special was off the charts and our server Nunsio had a perfect sense of timing and humor! Illianos delivers EVERYTIME!

Always great food and great service. Have been coming here since I was a kid and will continue to!

Lovely Italian restaurant with very friendly staff and owners. The patio is just beautiful with a view of the lake with a fountain and a landscaped stone waterfall in the middle. We've also sat inside with a window view. The food is consistently delicious (even the meatballs and red sauce, which I'm very picky about). We've had several parties there and everyone has loved their meals. The people couldn't be friendlier. Overall eating at Illiano Cucina is consistently a wonderful experience, we highly recommend it!

Food is very good, the service was excellent, atmosphere was nice.

Excellent Services And Fine Dining 🍽 👌 😍 👍 Great Atmosphere 👍 😊🍽🍷🍸 Waitress And Servers Did A Excellent Job

I didn't like that they charge you a percentage for using your credit card and their desserts for what they are are extremely expensive I was disappointed or not

Excellent meal. The server was very personable. I would go back and do recommend you try it!

The food was absolutely delicious. I felt in touch with my Italian heritage! The service was also top notch, our waitress was very kind and made sure to check on us regularly. Shane, who was the charming busboy for our table, was also extremely kind and made us feel like family. Highly recommend! 10/10

HOLY MOLY WAS THIS JUST THE BEST FOOD IVE DONE DID EAT IN MY LIFE! BREAD-PERFECT, WATER-QUENCHING, FOOD-FULFILLING, SERVICE-ASTRONOMICAL GET YOUR ITALIAN CRAVINGS FIXED HERE! (shane was a very good bus boy, handsome too if I do say so myself) ;)

Travel 40 minutes to experience the great Italian food...

Amazing food. Reasonably priced. Great service.

Staff was excellent, food was decent and very affordable, especially since it's a byob. We'll be back, and thanks for the great service!!!

Just wanted to post that this restaurant has been consistently serving great food for nearly 35 years and they should be recognized for their excellence. #Lamberti’s

We had my mother‘s 92nd birthday there last year. We’re gonna probably go there again for her 93rd birthday the food there is great I would highly recommend it. There’s not one thing I would say about being bad excellent I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been there every years I highly recommend you make reservations

Ordered a new dish (Carry Out). Didn't know what to expect, but I was thoroughly happy when I arrived home. Will definitely be back and will definitely order this again!!!

My favorite go to ! The bar is perfect for a nice cocktail and apps. Great food, nice portions, wonderful service.

The food is good, best part is dessert. Very loud atmosphere

I ordered chicken parm it was a small portion and ordered I soda and near got it

The food is amazing! The team members are incredible! My Italian boys and I love love love this place!

A true Italian restaurant. Has stood the test of time. A beautiful restaurant with amazing food with a family dining experience. Plenty of parking and take out available as well. From pizza to pasta to seafood and poultry you will enjoy whatever you choose. BYOB.

Always come here when I visit my parents. Food is always great!

Great food, friendly service. BYOB

Great pizza bread and salad. Loved that we could get chicken parm with veggies as a side. Staff were welcoming and we brought our own wine.

Excellent old world Italian food in a great neighborhood/family restaurant. Great wait staff. One of those places you'll want to meet family and friends at on a .lonely basis - a "GO To" place.

Called in for take out since I was going past on way from Drs appointment. Yummy, yummy salad and house dressing, penne salad vodka and of course large pizza bread.

We have our office end of the year meeting/party/get together every year at this establishment and I have not been disappointed yet, the staff which I will include the host/hostess, the waiter/waitress and overall atmosphere and the food of this restaurant are superb and I look forward to our dinner every year thank you for your excellence

I'm not a fan of Italian food. The choices were only mediocre.

Delicious authentic, Italian dishes, served hot, quickly, and with fine attention to detail. Friendly, warm atmosphere with wonderful employees, all working as a team. Loved it!

I ordered a very simple grilled chicken and roasted red peppers and my wife Ceasar salad. The service was great, and the food was fresh and tasty.

The food was terrific! Our server was very attentive, accurate, pleasant! We enjoyed Illiano Cucina!

Top notch italian place. Ingredients were very high quality and my only complaint was perhaps a bit heavy on the oil on the free marinara bread...but that's more of a matter of taste than quality as it was still great.

I visited for take out pizza the last time I was there, but I've eaten there many times, and I have never been disappointed.

Excellent food, fresh seafood, traditional Italian cuisine with friendly staff. Great place for our small family reunion!

Authentic Italian dishes. Owners are from italy. The black ravioli is fabulous! I have not had this anywhere in Italy. It's unique. This restaurant is a favorite of mine. I have taken several guests to this restaurant, and they all rave about the food when they are finished. My husband ordered a cheese steak this time. He couldn't finish it, so he wrapped the rest and brought it home. I thought, "This is going to be horrible the next day." He reheated, and lo and behold, he said, "if it's possible, it's even better today!" I had spaghetti and meatballs that I enjoyed. I have had their clams casino, so good! And of course, the pizza! Just having come off one of many trips to the Mediterranean, I can tell you Illianos is the real deal. If you go for dinner, I would suggest a reservation. They get very busy during this time.

Delicious Italian food, fresh salads and home made deserts. An elegant atmosphere as well as outdoor heated area. Plenty of parking.

This was the most amazing Italian restaurant I've ever been to. I can't say enough about it. The staff was beyond friendly, professional, and prompt on everything! There wasn't ONE morsel of food that wasn't impeccable! The bread (2 kinds) that comes to the table before you order is unbelievably flavorful and worth the take home! My husband got the Chicken Paesano ( I think I spelled that correctly), absolutely delicious and so fresh! I got their special, which was pumpkin ravioli. 😲😵‍💫🤯 I have always wanted to try pumpkin ravioli, and when I say I hit the JACKPOT deciding to do it at that time and that place. It was a pumpkin ravioli in a savory, creamy marsala sauce, an explosion of savory, sweet, savory flavor bouncing all over the place. It was a party in my mouth!!! Portions were very generous and therefore resulted in doggy bags for both of us. We enjoyed it so much that we had to try desert, didn't feel complete since everything had been so perfectly perfect up to that point. We also usually never order dessert, but we did. Hubby got cheesecake, probably, LITERALLY the best I'd ever put in my mouth. Also a massive slice at that. I got the Limoncello Marscapone cake...📢🎆🎆 THAT, it's a MUST try for all. Even their coffee was amazing. OMG, I can't believe I almost forgot about the out of this world red pepper, roasted cauliflower, sharp provolone soup. There is so much flavor, it blows your mind! Silky smooth texture, rich and so creamy. It was so good I ordered one to take home! Finally, we found an all-around FABULOUS restaurant! We will definitely be frequenting this establishment! Thank you for the awesome date night y'all provided for us!!!

Food is always top-notch! One of our favorite italian restaurants. Waitress was very attentive during our last visit.

Great friend, great food, great service, great atmosphere!

Excellent pizza at a great price on Tues. And Wednesday 12.50 plus tax

Always happy with their food and service. Our waiter, Dave, made the night fun and festive. Everything was delicious.

Everytime I enjoy the restaurant, I have always been 100% Thrilled with the service. Also the food quality is magnificent. Oh so is the atmosphere. My absolute favorite place, I never regret and never had buyers remorse as I usually do when not cooking at home. Illino's will be a complete Pamper experience.

Great food and customer service by the servers and owners.

Delicious mussels and tomato pie

Really good calamari appetizer. I had scungilli marinara, and my partner had the sacchetti purses with champagne cream sauce. Both were very good. The bread there is always a favorite.

I ordered take-out today which included a large plain pizza. Their website boasts that large pizzas are $11.25 (take-out only) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays...a discount from $14.50. It should be noted that the sub-total bill was $101.00 plus a I left a $10 tip. Upon my arrival, I mentioned the price difference for the pizza to the cashier who said that I needed to talk to the manager. In doing so, the manager said there was nothing she could do because that's the way the app is set up on the computer. Well Miss Manager...how about opening the cash register and giving me the CA$H?????? She didn't even apologize; she just walked away. The cashier hands me the food and says "have a good one"; I looked at her and said "this is the point where you say 'thank you for the tip' "! She was a bit stunned and then sheepishly "thank you". I am SO TIRED of ill-refined and unappreciative employees who want tips just for handing me a bag! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! One last opinion regarding the food: the Chicken Francese was tasty but not plentiful for the price ($23.00).

We eat here often and have never had a meal we did not love. We recently used their catering service and the food was amazing quality I will be catering with Illiano’s in the future as well. The service and management are hand in hand excellent. Classic Italian restaurant and our favorite in South Jersey.

Good place to eat great food and service with a relaxed friendly atmosphere....

Wonderful family meal with very good service. Outstanding food and atmosphere!

Best old country Italian food I had in many years. Even though we live in ocnj will be going here many times Service is unbelievable

The worst meal we ever had the salmon was undercooked we sent it back. My wife's dish was wrong mentioned it three times,.my father sausage was so tough he started choking. Very disappointed. Won't return!

It is just like mostly all other suburban Italian-American restaurants in this region. They have a menu that probably hasn't changed in decades, and people love it! ...but not much innovation or excitement. My chicken dish was covered in way too much cheese, which I thought was unnecessary. BUT, the tomato bread is awesome, and the service was impeccable.

Best Italian place I've ever been to, everyone so nice and the food is to die for. Gotta get the pizza bread, it's a must-have

Good service and Italian food. Ambiance fair. Parking no problem. Very busy on weekends.

Great place to come for lunch or dinner. Food is always great and staff is friendly. Be sure to bring ur own wine and leave full.

My Wife and I had a Delicious Meal. I had the Black Ravioli stuffed with shrimp, Yum. My wife had the Regular Ravioli and the sauce or gravy if you prefer, was Amazing! For Dessert, we had this Lemoncello Cake, that we shared. It was Great. Our Server Vinnie was Outstanding. Would Recommend Highly 👌

We keep coming back bringing friends and coworkers, because the food is amazingly good and portions are great. The best Italian place in the area!

The food and service were excellent, highly recommended ! Food portions were plentiful. We had to take some food home, but made room for our capacino.

Food was delicious, service was great, didn't hurry us out since we stayed quite a while.

Food was delicious and abundant, service was excellent, we will be back again.

The food here never disappoints. Staff is friendly and always accommodating. Italian at it's best.

Went with my cousin to celebrate our birthdays. The food was excellent, staff was excellent, and we got a good portion of food that we took home with us that we could not eat. The chicken was cook just right, you did not need a knife to cut it, a fork was only needed . I would go back here again !

Went there on a crowded Saturday night and our reservation for two was misplaced. They sat us in the patio area which was chilly, even though it's heated. We asked for a table change. They quickly responded and found us a table inside apologized and checked on use throughout our dinner. The service was attentive, and the food was high quality Italian comfort food! This was our 4th visit and never disappointed! Can't wait to go back!

Wonderful restaurant to go to for dinner for two, or a family dinner. Always great food and fantastic service. Make reservations!

Bellissimo! What I like about this place is that nothing is overcooked like in many other restaurants. The food is tasty and healthy. Maybe unusual but definitely better than fried to death like some chiefs do.

Really delicious food, good size portions and a family atmosphere. A real gem in Medford!

Some of the best, most flavorful sauces. We love their marinara, puttanesca, gypsy, carbonara. Everything we've had has been fantastic. Their eggplant is nice and thin and lightly breaded with flour.

Love this restaurant! I hope the grilled calamari is a special appetizer forever! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly grilled, served over arugala. Osso buco was fork tender. I keep ordering the dinner specials, so I still have their extensive menu to try! Wait staff is outstanding. Polite, smiling, patient, professional. Our favorite Friday night out. Go early!

Amazing staff and amazing food highly recommended!!!!

Sooooo good! It was a happy accident that we ended up here, but so glad we did! Had the mini arancini, zucchini fritti, penne alla vodka, and chicken francese and everything was so dang good we booked our Christmas Eve catering on the spot! OMG and the bread basket… whatever the bread with the tomato sauce on it was, it was absolutely delicious!

Food was fantastic and their staff handled our party of 55 with ease. Our club would highly recommend.

Had lunch there today. I grew up with an Italian father who loved to cook; and this was the absolute worst Lasagna I've ever tasted. I couldn't even eat it, it was tasteless and contained some kind of meat perhaps ground pork or turkey, and some slimy cheese; no sausage meat, no ricotta cheese, no spices, no parsley, no garlic -Blah. Won't go back.

This is a gem of a restaurant, with an expansive menu and great food. Portions are large and prices are competitive with other Italian restaurants. It's on our list now!

Our new favorite restaurant! You have to try the Monterosa! The tomato pie bread is so tasty and crisp!

Portions are large. Great location.

We had a six-thirty reservation and they were already sold out of several specials. It seemed very noisy for the number of customers. Our waitress was very nice and the food was good but portions were too large

We were seated in a room adjacent to the pizza pick up counter. The waitress was attentive, but this is not a BYOB where your white wine is placed in an ice bucket nor does the waitress pour it in your glass. The food was good and the food price was reasonable. However, the dessert menu had no price on the menu and was overpriced. Each piece of cake was $10 and the coffee was $3. This was rip off compared to the dinner prices.

Happened in late evening on a Sunday when in search of a decent Italian Hoagie. Good heavens did this place deliver! Now mind you, Illiano Cucina is not a sub shop/deli, but more of a fine dining establishment. But they absolutely nailed it and my craving was satisfied for sure. The roll was exactly what I had hoped for - not too soft, not stale whatsoever, yet had a nice chew to it and stood up to it's ingredients without falling apart. The condiments were expertly distributed, and as ordered. I enjoy mayo on my hoagies, and there was just the right amount. The LTO was crisp and fresh, with a light addition of oil and vinegar, and a shake of oregano to finish. And as for the main attraction, the meat and cheese: So good! I ordered the sharp provolone and it complimented this masterpiece perfectly. And the meats - my God the meats!- made this sandwich unreal good. They're not listed on the menu, but I want to say capoicola and prosciutto, just rounded this thing out. I just wish there was more! So yeah. My apologies to the owners or any staff who may read this for only reviewing a hoagie when the entire menu is likely straight 🔥🔥🔥 if this was any indicator. But like I said, I just kinda happened upon Illiano Cucina while driving nearby. 5 stars! Definitely recommend! Will be back for other offerings!

Nice place, dinners 22 to 28 dollars.

We've lived in Medford for about 5 years and have visited Taunton Forge shopping center without ever knowing this existed. On the recommendation from a lady at a great winery on my SO's birthday, we decided to give it a try. The server David was AWESOME, attentive, fun and reminded you of your cousin Tony at the family get-together. He made us feel welcome every step of the way. The food choices were extensive and our bread, drinks, appetizers, salads and entrees came out quickly. David kept an eye on us and brought things out one at a time. Everything was fresh and hot. The food was astounding. The pasta, fresh and clean, the fish was cooked perfectly. Just overall one of the best eating experiences I've had in awhile. Nothing was priced unreasonable, the portions were huge and we left with lunch for the next day. They do take out pizza and we will definitely be dining here again soon. Five-star rating for five-star service.

Our friends told us to try this restaurant. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the fountains, so great atmosphere. We ordered the special which this evening was Branzino, which came with a Ceasar Salad. Everything was delicious and Vinny our server was Fantastic.

Excellent food, exceptional service. A great experience you should have for yourself.....soon

It was a busy Saturday night, but that isn't an excuse for the frequent absence of our server, or the fact that the veal for several at our table was tougher than it usually is. Food was mostly good, but we might skip visiting when we come back to Medford next year.

Tremendous byob big night out place. Michael and his wife and the staff are awesome.

Pretty good food, they were able to accommodate a large party of 12 on the patio

Once again Lucy Illiano and her amazing staff did an incredible job during our celebration of life for my husband Paul. We have been enjoying Illiano’s for our years while living in Medford. They have provided us with consistent excellent service and food and were friendly, treating their patrons like family! Thank you Lucy and staff! As long as you are there we will keep coming back time and time again!

Food was fantastic and the service was awesome! This place is a gem.

I Read about this restaurant in my own backyard on NJ.com "50 best Italian restaurants in NJ" may 23 2022. I can't believe I never heard about them before! My wife and I made a reservation for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary on a Wednesday night. Very clean and comfortable, Excellent attentive service and an outstanding Menu. We will be going back, you should plan on going!!!

Food was excellent. Service was wonderful.

We started eating here decades ago, when the owner, Tony Illiano first opened and his kids were young and soon too, learning the business, and what a great job they all did. Bravo!!! So after, I’d have to guess, having eaten almost 1500+++ meals, (if you include take out) all of which was as delicious as the last, we were delighted to have been back last night after having retired to NC. It was like a warm hug and coming home. Thank you Lucia for a delightful time, and yet again, another “most memorable meal”. We will savor the memory until we are up this way again!!! ❤️🤗 Susan and Sal

Consistency is the word here. Always great service, excellent food and $$ won't break the bank. Can't wait to return

Delicious food, excellent service, amazing family owned business.

Great food but can get busy. Make reservations

Place is amazing. Great food, exceptionally nice people and great service. First time here, Definitely will be back!

This place is terrible when it comes to take out! From the extremely unpleasant and unfriendly girl who answers the phone and takes your order to the gross carelessly prepared food you pick up….just bad. I’ve had great meals at the restaurant but the same meal is terrible if ordered as take out. Never again!! Too many other places that care about the quality of food for dine in and take out.

I have never been disappointed! Great food and service!
