Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Camden

From the moment we stepped into this gem of a restaurant, it was clear we were in for a treat. The ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect stage for a meal that would become a journey of flavors. This Trattoria exudes charm and warmth, offering a cozy, intimate atmosphere perfect for any occasion. The open kitchen concept steals the show, with tables lining the kitchen, giving diners a front-row seat to the culinary artistry as chefs craft each dish with precision. The inviting scent of fresh ingredients fills the air, adding to the experience. Downstairs, the beautifully designed basement seating area feels like a hidden gem—romantic, rustic, and full of character. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home while delivering a dining experience you won’t forget. Bonus: it’s BYOB, so you can pair your favorite bottle with an unforgettable meal! The food was excellent, home made and well thought out. The combination of fresh ingredients and innovative recipes was nothing short of incredible.

Every December, we celebrate my mother’s birthday at Caffe Aldo and it’s always a special experience. This year was especially festive since it was a Saturday night during the holidays and we were serenaded with accordion music and a high school quartet singing Christmas carols. We’ve always noticed and appreciated the professionalism of the staff; it ensures flawless service and an exceptional experience. Our server, Alana, was very attentive and added to our enjoyment of the evening. And, of course, the food was heavenly! Thanks to all who made my mother’s 90th birthday celebration so memorable!

What a fine restaurant. My husband and I had a wonderful evening. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting experienced and attentive bar tenders. One that stood out was Mark who wiped out a guitar and led the bar area in a few Christmas carols. Thank you for a fun night!!!!

This is my new go-to place for Italian. Everything about the experience was beyond expectations.

My partner and I went to Scampi on its second night open, and it did not disappoint! Chef Liz and her team were incredible, and I really appreciated the time that she took to explain each course and to get to know the guests. All of the food was fantastic - I think our favorite was the scampi scampi shrimp dish! I will definitely be back again in the future. Congrats on your opening, Liz!
