New Jersey Real Estate Agent

Home buyers relocating to Princeton often ask me about things to do and good   places to eat in Princeton area. Today I would like to suggest Cammillo's Cafe in Princeton. I am not a food critic (I am a NJ real estate agent), although traveling, eating and getting paid for it seem like a dream job:) This review brings a bit lighter subject then usual on this Princeton real estate site, which usually is focused on helping Princeton home buyers and sellers become better real estate consumers.

Lately Princeton real estate has been a heavy duty topic and may not bring much enjoyment to some of the Princeton home sellers. With that in mind, let's talk about some thing more enjoyable , especially if you are considering relocating to Princeton and are wondering about good places to eat in Princeton.

When I lived in Italy I was too poor to eat out and my cooking then was mostly Russian. I have to confess I love good food and later in life got to eat in some of the best restaurants in New York and Europe, so I am a bit spoiled when it comes to good food.

At Camillo's Cafe in Princeton the food is very good. The restaurant has already been reviewed or written up by professional writers in Princeton Business Journal, Princeton Packet, Town Topics and even New York Times, and this post is not to compete with real food critics. I am describing my own experience at Camillo's Cafe as a customer. Quality of food and service, which are two most important criteria for me, was excellent the several times we ate there.

The chef/owner Camillo Tortola describes his food as authentic Italian.
He came to this country several years ago having run Italian restaurants in Scotland. He opened this small restaurant in the Princeton shopping center.

The service is more like when visiting a friend, then a restaurant. The last time we were at Camillo's it was a very hot day and I was in a mood for their cold sea-food salad which was not on the menu. We asked Camillo and he said he would come up with something based on what he had in the kitchen, and he did. He made a different sea-food salad, but it was very good. It's hard or may be impossible to get this level of personal service in most Princeton restaurants.

Something similar happened on another occasion, when the chef offered something not on the menu to satisfy his customers.

The dinning room is not large, but pleasant with many windows open when the weather is good. There are wall pleasant painted murals on the walls, that don't look cheese like in some Italian restaurants. There is also a n outdoor patio for good weather. The kitchen is open, so you could see the cooking as it's being prepared. The menu is not very extensive, and I don't think has changed since the first time we visited. It still have many choices and a few special of the day.

The wines offered are from Hopewell Valley Vineyards. Not being a wine conosseuir, I support using local products. The seafood also comes from a local distributor and the vegetables from local organic farms.

Camiilo's Cafe is located in the Princeton Shopping Center at 301 N. Harrison St, Princeton, NJ 08540. Tel 609-252-0608.

They are opened foe lunch Mon-Sat 11:30am -2:30pm, and dinner Mon-Sat: 5pm -10pm; Sunday -5pm- 9pm.
