Zeppoli: 100 Decibels; 2 Bells

Posted by Foobooz on November 14th, 2011

Craig LaBan enjoyed his dinner if not the din at Collingswood’s Zeppoli.

A baked orata with crispy potatoes gilded by slow-cooked artichokes and caper berries, and oil-cured, was the juiciest whole fish I’ve eaten this year. Goat stewed in milk to sublime tenderness is finished to a crisp in the oven with a crust of herbed lardo. Addictive little twists of Sicilian fusilli come tossed in a vivid green pesto “Trapanese” made from pistachios, almonds, and basil so fragrant it seduces your senses before you even take a bite. And then I took many.

      I think it’s harsh to withhold a third bell due to the noise issue alone.

      Yeah Joey!! I think a loud two bell restaurant is exactly the kind of place I’d enjoy twice a week.

      Plus, Joey Baldino is the man and he deserves every bit of that review.

      Agreed, Joe is the best and is putting his heart and soul into that place. To not give him two bells b/c of the noise is bullshit. At some point is has to be about the food.
