Tre Famiglia
This Saturday night I went out to dinner with my family to Tre Famiglia in Haddonfield , New Jersey Haddonfield , NJ South Jersey . The décor is very quaint, old school Italian décor, darkly lit, a very romantic place for couples. I have been here a few times before because my cousin lives down the road and has told me about it, and I have yet to be disappointed. Their menu is very good. They offer many different options from fresh made pastas to old school Italian favorites like chicken parmigiana and twists on classics like sausage a figs with a balsamic drizzle (delicious by the way).
So I went with my aunt and uncle, whom I live with, and my cousin and her fiancé. I was a little less excited about going out to eat than I normally was because my throat was bothering me and it made eating very unenjoyable, something I did not really think was possible until my throat started hurting last week. But my love of food prevailed and I went to dinner at Tre Famiglia anyway because the food and experience are usually so fantastic. We brought two bottles of New Port Great White with us, which is a truly delicious Reisling that you can only get inRhode Island
As is the problem with a lot of great restaurants, if you really consider it a problem, the menu has a ton of different choices. These choices offer a lot of diversity for those eaters that either want to try different things, or may be picky eaters that need that wide variety of choices. While this is great, it leads me to have quite a bit of indecision when I look over the menu because each dish offers me something I would like. so many different dishes offer me things that I would like. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the waiter came over to tell us about the specials, and the curveball locked up my knees and I was completely baffled. After a few minutes I gathered my composure and ordered something very interesting that I had never seen or heard of on a menu before.
In the meantime we of course talked and drank some wine, while enjoying the delicious bread and olive oil. The olive oil has all kinds of spices in it which made it extremely delicious. The ones that I could discern were garlic, black pepper, and red pepper.
I wound up ordering a special purple potato soup with lump crabmeat in it for an appetizer. I am a potato soup fanatic, so I will order it in almost any restaurant that offers it, so taking into consideration that I have never had purple potatoes before made that soup a must for me to order. I was not disappointed. The soup was silky smooth, very creamy, and extremely delicious. The chunks of crab that were dispersed throughout were a nice touch as well. I was worried that the texture would get muddled together, but they were very complimentary.
For my main course I had ordered pork Milanese which is a dish that I have seen on the menu in quite a few restaurants before, but I have never actually ordered. Pork Milanese at Tre Famiglia is served breaded, over creamy risotto, topped with baby arugala and shaved Romano cheese. It came out much better than I had expected. The pork was super crispy on the outside, while remaining very moist on the inside. The lemon wedge served with it added so much flavor when squeezed on top of the pork, and the arugala added a nice peppery element to the pork when eaten together. The risotto underneath was super creamy, a dish that I would order all on its own if they offered it. Definitely a winning dish in my book, and something I would recommend to anyone else heading to Tre Famiglia for dinner any time soon. I also tasted the bronzino filet special that they offered which was very good. The fish was delicate, yet firm, and it was extremely well cooked and seasoned.

For dessert I had the chocolate and vanilla tartufo, and I tasted the peanut butter tartufo. Both were excellent. Tartufo is quickly becoming my favorite dessert to order whenever it is offered because it is so delicious and so rare to find on menus in my experience. The contrast between the creaminess of the ice cream and crunch of the hard outside is the best part of the experience of eating tartufo. Everything that I had I would definitely recommend to anyone, while also recommending the sausage and figs appetizer and the apple cake for dessert. I truly do not think that Tre Famiglia has anything that will disappoint even the pickiest of eaters. Get out and try it if you get the chance, and let me know what you think!
