Thanks to our listeners' suggestions, comments, and recommendations, we have compiled a photo gallery of 16 South Jersey Italian restaurants locals can't get enough of.

How Were These Restaurants Chosen?

We asked for your thoughts on the radio and posted on Facebook, asking about your favorite much-loved Italian restaurant in South Jersey.

Were Any Restaurants Mentioned More Than Once?

I believe all of them were suggested at least three or four times by the more than 300 people who commented on social media. A few were mentioned 20 times or more.

Do these Restaurants Have Similarities?

Aside from preparing Italian food well, the biggest similarity I saw is the number of restaurants that are family-owned and operated. This was a recurring theme when it came to South Jersey Italian restaurants.

Not All These Italian Restaurants Are Landmarks

Many of these restaurants have been in business for a long time and definitely rank as locally or nationally famous.

Some of the others were more of a surprise, including a few I wasn't that familiar with. But our listeners knew them and raved about their food, so we included them.

The newer Italian restaurants appear to be on the way to becoming established landmark restaurants in South Jersey.
