Reviews for Italian Affair Restaurant in Glassboro, NJ
We went on a Wednesday around 245p and there was barely anyone there. It took around 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge I was... waiting to be seated. I did ask for us to be seated outside, if it was possible. Outside was beautiful with the waterfall andfish, except it reeked of cigarettes (he did say people were allowed to smoke freely). Our waiter was nice, but it took a LONGtime in between getting our drinks (water), ordering our food, ordering dessert and the check. We wanted to eat and leave, whichwas confirmed with the man who seated us, but we were there for 2 hours due to the long wait in between. We ordered pizza anddessert. The pizza was the best pizza we have ever had! The desserts were rich and flavorful. Pricing is on the higher side, butit is a fancier restaurant. They didn't have vegetarian options (not that I saw) which was upsetting. The bathrooms were upkeptand clean. Read more
Laura our wait staff was excellent, sweet and attentive. I had Seafood Julianne which doesn't come with pasta. Laura saw my... disappointment and went to get me a bed of perfectly cooked linguini . My husband had chicken parm which he said wasdelicious. Prices were fair for serving size. Read more
Haven't had a bad meal yet. Ravioli alla Jojo is our favorite. Can't seem to steer away from that anymore. You can also upsize... it from a small plate to a dinner portion. Service is always good. Read more
We had a great experience at Italian Affair. The ambiance was nice, the hostesses and waitstaff were friendly and attentive and... the food was very good. We came in from out of town for a concert at a local university concert hall, so we were seeking arestaurant that was close by and possibly the best we could get in the area. Extensive bar list and menu. Met Giuseppe, theowner, and had an overall great time. Read more
Welcomed to the restaurant by three people at the front desk each less interested than the other in helping us find a seat in a... nearly empty restaurant at 4:30 PM on a Saturday. Spent five minutes trying to prove we had a reservation at 4::45 pm (which we finally did show them). Hardly made eye contact and not a single friendly comment with masks covering the smiles we assumedwere absent. We should have known what we were in for at the restaurant. We made it through an awkward dinner and asked for theleftovers to be packed with 2 desserts we wanted to bring home. The food left the table and a small plastic bag came back outobviously missing something. We asked if the desserts were with the food or if the food was put in the same container. We wereyelled at by the waitress, “I put everything in there!!” A few minutes later she brought the forgotten items in a separatebag without even a hint of apology or comment. We had seen reviews where the management went ballistic on the reviewers. Wethought it was an anomaly, but attitude that evening seems pervasive. The waitress started off super pleasant and literally hadher head spinning in a circle at the moment we questioned the small to-go bag. We really wanted to like this cigarette odorladen Italian restaurant and support local business but from front door to doggie-bag we were unpleasantly surprised. Read more
My mother and I were going to go for dinner, but instead opted for lunch and let me say it was no mistake coming here. Our... server, Laura, was very knowledgeable about the menu and the available options. She was extremely kind during our whole timethere and was prompt to correct an error regarding our check. I think she is close to the owner or somewhat an owner judging byhow she explained she had made our dessert, strawberry shortcake with fruit, just the day before. The food was freakingwonderful! Our appetizer was called Caprese something. Never ever had it before but boy it was delicious. My entree, which wascalled something like "Tenderloin Tips", was absolutely stunning. (Photo pictured with ravioli.) I was actually quite stunnedfor the fact it was simply like nothing I've tasted before. My mother had the chicken parm sandwich which she enjoyed. With myentree I got a soup. It was also delicious, but I forget the name. The bread was also warm and good, an amazing touch was theolive oil provided. The cake mentioned earlier was also lovely, and I don't even eat cake! The resteraunt was clean with theexception of a lot of flies in the bathroom. Good atmosphere out on the floor; the resteraunt is gorgeous. Our tab was $64.00.Definitely pricey, but worth it with all things considered. Need to go again! Read more
My wife and I had a very good meal. I believe one of the owners served us. She was a extremely friendly and helpful lady. The... calamari was crispy, light, soft & tasty (basically perfect). The risotto was very rich and creamy (delicious). Everything wasvery good. Read more
