Hours: Mon–Thurs 11 am–3 pm, 4:30 pm to 10 pm; Fri and Sat, 11 am to 3 pm, 4:30 pm to 11 pm; Sun, 11 am to 3 pm, 4 pm to 9:30 pm.

Price: $$

Style: Hearty, classy Italian at wallet-friendly prices.

Don’t Miss: For starters, the antipasto Freddo salad ($7) strikes the perfect balance of spicy Italian meats, olives, and cheese, all over a bed of spring mix. Or go with the funghi trifolati ($6), which marries three mushrooms in basil and olive oil.  For dinner, your best bet is the veal. Il Fiore prepares the thin sliced and succulent meat three ways: ai limone, marsala, and ai carrciofi (all $13). Not a meat eater? Try the ravioli Il Fiore ($12), a hefty pasta and cheese dish doused in a creamy blush sauce.

Heads Up: Because its prices aren’t that high for the quality of food served and the white tablecloth setting, it gets busy almost any night of the week, so call ahead for reservations. Il Fiore is also BYO.

The Scoop: Il Fiore is the new kid on the Collingswood dining block along the town’s main street of Haddon Avenue. The site used to be home to a jewelry store, which was renovated for Il Fiore’s May opening. For the best people watching spots in town, try to grab one of the two bay windows—but good luck. They’re popular.
