Il Burloni La Pizza E Cucina

This place was amazing! Great service and amazing food!!! I had the raviolis stuffed with banana peppers and sausage in a creamy tomato sauce and they were the best raviolis I have ever had! I usually automatically love BYOB places but this place was quaint, great service and great food. Lots of menu options and the chef was even able to give suggestions and told us to «challenge» him. We will definitely be going back there!

Excellent! Food is fantastic. Service is excellent. One hell of a good chef! Have sent many friends here! Love it! On my faves list!

Looking for a great place to eat. This is it! Food was outstanding, served hot and delicious. Some might think a little pricey… our dinner was $ 70 for 2, with one app, 2 dinners and one desert. But for good quality I thought it worth it. I had the Balsamico and my dinner partner had the Griglia. Both meals were very good. The Balsamico is done with a balsamic reduction. Just wonderful. Service was really good. If your lucky to get Krysten, she was friendly, funny and very attentive. It’s a byob place so bring a good bottle and enjoy. Reservations recommended.

My boyfriend and I came here on a double date with friends and we’re so impressed! Great little (actually, tiny) BYOB place. The food was great. It seems like the veal dishes at the table were our group’s favorite, and the breaded zucchini appetizer was delicious. The service was so good! I don’t remember our server’s name, but she was so fun, hilarious, and really made or experience that much better.
I will say that the food is kind of pricey. It was all really really tasty, though. Despite its location in a strip mall, we were very impressed and will go back! I would love to see pizza on the menu one day! Hint hint ;)

Pappardelle with sausage and goat cheese was very good. Started with grilled calamari and this was just delicious with the sundried tomato sauce and olives. Dessert was excellent! Key lime pie and wild blueberry pie. Yes there is a huge difference in blueberries and if you haven’t tried wild what are you waiting for?!?
The music was a tad loud but that keeps the conversation confidential ;-)
Take a nice red and enjoy the Italian cuisine!

Found the staff to be rude to the point I wanted to walk out without eating my meal. Almost did except we were with other people. Watched the manager /​owner put on her makeup and lipstick while I ate my dinner. Could hear her on the phone warning people who were making reservations that their table would reset after 90 minutes. Really.
It’s a shame because the food is really really good. The only problem is their all about the money. Turning tables quickly being rude to customers and their well behaved children won’t keep them on business too long.
As for the several comments regarding good friendly service I wouldn’t be surprised if the owners wrote them to off set the bad reviews.
I will never go back no matter how good the food is.

First off our waitress was the nicest person to walk the earth. She kept giving us free bread and when we wanted to share the caprese app she put it on three separate plates for us to make it easier. I had the paparadelle with sausage onion goat cheese and a lite tomato sauce. She let me sub out sausage for eggplant. The portion was enormous, and extremely flavorful. It was a hidden gem for sure!

Hard to find (it was in a shopping plaza) but delicious! Get a reservation and bring some vino. House salad dressing was so good. I wish they sold it!

So yum! Staff is amazing. Had a great valentines party here and everyone was spectacular!!!

Excellent little BYOB place with reasonable corkage fees. I’m partial to the Pappardelle w/​Sausage, Onion, Goat Cheese in a Lite Red Sauce. It is the most frequent thing I order. The bolognese is also excellent as far as the pasta dishes go.
Typically they have a fresh fish special. I have ordered these from time to time and have always enjoyed them. It is not an overly large place so it can be hard to get a table. Given this I have ordered take out from here multiple times and it has always held up well. They also make it a point to give you everything that would be served to a sit down patron such as bread.

I picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner with my cousins. I’m attracted to ‘made-​to-​order’ restaurants that can accommodate someone with a severe dairy allergy, but unfortunately I chose poorly. Let me caveat by saying that the rest of my family had an amazing meal here. The atmosphere is cute, the server was very sweet and accommodating, but sadly the chef was sloppy and careless. After explaining my dairy allergy, the waitress brought me my dinner. After two bites, I felt a tingle on my lip and proceeded to fork a piece of penne, which had a long string of cheese attached to it. The waitress was extremely embarrassed and apologetic & took my entrée to the kitchen, where the chef denied that there was any cheese in the dish, but begrudgingly made another one for me. The second round tasted awful and was missing the shrimp I had ordered, but at this point the rest if my party was almost finished eating, so I just let it go. The waitress was nice enough to take he shrimp off my bill, but not the entire dinner. I mean they only almost sent me to the hospital. In any case, this is a nice restaurant but steer clear if you have any dietary restrictions. Made to order? Not so much.

We have been to Burloni many times over the past few years. Every time we left full, happy and content. Yes this place is very small. They do have a few tables outside when it is warm. Our latest adventure to IB brought a table of 8. I’m sure they were annoyed with us seeing I called the day of to make reservations and called back 2 more times that day to change the number of people. Regardless, our table was ready when we arrived.
We started our meal with the calamari, fried zucchini, and sausage with peppers and onions. The sausage is my favorite app. Not too sweet, not too spicy. Perfectly complimented with freshly sauteed onions and peppers. Although I have tried many dishes at IB, my go to is the grilled chicken (pollo griglia) with vegetables. Two marinated chicken breasts grilled and served with a huge plateful of various veggies-​carrots, broccoli, potatoes, onions, peppers, cauliflower, brussel sprouts. If it’s in season, you’re getting it. I always add a large helping of the shredded cheese they leave for you on the table. Another favorite is the pasta bolognaise which hubs ordered and I stole a few bites of. They also offer a few desserts that change with the season. Unfortunately, I’m usually too full to try them. Overall, small restaurant, not much in the way of décor/​ambience but great food.

Went for dinner last night with an other couple. First off it is BYOB so I am already a fan! The cork fee was a few bucks. The menu changes by season, and they have a few specials. Our table ordered a salad, the veggie plate and the meatballs to start. All very good! I had the penne vodka and it was super yummy! Great sauces and pasta cooked perfectly. The waitress was very good. We were catching up with friends and dining slowly and she didn’t rush us at all. Was a little disappointed that they ran out of Tiramisu when it was time to order dessert.
Some other people commented on the owner. She was very kind and helpful while we were there. Came to check on our table a few times and was very pleasant.

Let me first say that the service is great! So cudo’s to the waitress, however, the waitress only takes the order and brings the food.
The bread served was stale and tasteless, the oil dipping sauce matched.
We started with fresh deep fried mozzarella, despite being cooked, the cheese was cold and soggy. I have had this dish elsewhere and it has been prepared properly. Here I would not recommend at all!
We have been here a couple of times and the food is very inconsistent, perhaps average at best depending on the dish you order. The Veal Marsala was one of the worst I have ever ordered anywhere. The veal was clearly a lesser cut, basically a roll roast cut into thick slices, NOT pounded flat at all. So it was just several pieces of 3/​8″ hockey puck size of veal which was not tender. The Marsala sauce was missing something, tasted bitter or sour, I think it was missing the marsala. The dish was overpowered by an excessive quantity of jumbo shitake mushrooms, I mean overpowered. Not an enjoyable meal at all.
My wife ordered the Bucatini with marinara, now that was not bad, the bucatini is a relatively large round noodle which is like spaghetti on steriods.
Overall the restaurant is very small and very noisy, but that is acceptable. But the food is just a complete hit or miss for the price. Too pricey for hit or miss!

Bring your own bottle. Pedestrian italian, no pizza, little flavor, overpriced and way too small for comfort. Sat next to a space heater. And it’s a strip mall.
Wrote this in Feb 2012 and for some reason it is just now posting. Maybe its better now.

Had the most amazing dinner last night! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, which was amazing, considering she was the only waitress in the entire restaurant for the majority of our meal.
For appetizers, we had the grilled calamari and fried zucchini… both equally delicious, but pleasing in different ways. The calamari was perfectly tender and flavorful in an olive marinara. The zucchini was paper thin and fried to perfection.
I had the caprese salad and then the veal piccata, a little tart, but delicious. Others at the table — caesar salads, veal marsala, veal milenese and the absolute best at the table… parpadalle with sausage and goat cheese. Seriously, the pasta knocked everything out of the park!
We finished the meal with house made tiramisu and a ½ press of coffee.
This meal was absolute perfection. The atmosphere left a little to be desired, as it is in a strip mall and the tables/​chairs/​booths looked a little thrown together. But was quickly forgotten when the food was presented. Also — BYOB with 5 $ corkage fee… doesn’t get better than that!
One suggestion — make reservations in advance. We’ve tried to get in several times by calling that night/​weekend and finally got a table when we called 2 weeks in advance.
We can’t wait to go back! Well done, all!

Still very good food!
Still BYOB! Love that!
Now some of the bad.
Not sure what is with the owner!
We eat here frequently and the owner is so unfriendly and so customer insensitive. Yes insensitive!
Polishing her nails at the counter overlooking the tiny dinning room, what’s the story? Puts her purse on the stainless steel counter were some prepared food is placed, not very sanitary!
Clueless on training the staff and how she or the staff respond to requests.
We asked for the music to be turned down a little because at our table of 4, we had a hard time hearing each others conversation.
First request to waitress; who responded «I don’t think they will allow me to do that.» OK not the correct way to respond. maybe this should be worded differently!
Is the customer important or what!
The music was not turned down.
Later the owner came by to say hello and check on things.
Requested the music be turned down a bit. Her response, «We want to have some atmosphere.» Not the correct response, again! Again, it was not turned down.
This place is tiny and plain and has the tables stacked on top of each other. OK, I understand some music but not so loooooouuuuuuuddddddddddd!!!
The good. The food. A bit overpriced but very well prepared. The Chef does a great job!

Had a very enjoyable evening with friends. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had the grilled calamari in tomato sauce: a little saltier than usual. I also had the linguine with white clam sauce. Good chunks of clams; but mix with a little less oil next time.
A friend had the beet salad which is always amazing. Il burloni hits the nail on the head with its salads.
Chcoloate snowball cake did not have a lot of flavor, either in the white icing or the chocolate cake. French press coffee was very good.

Was in this mall for business, so it was convenient just to walk over to get dinner here after I read the great reviews on this place. First, its a small family owned (I think) restaurant. There was a lot to chose from the menu and this place was packed for a Tuesday night, which is an indicator that it probably has a good following.
Dinner starts off with fresh bread with garlic spread. For appetizers we had the fried zuccini and meatballs. What a great way to start a meal! Then for entrees we had the chicken piccata, veal masala and chicken gagnoli (not sure it was grilled chicken with veggies). All were great. We topped off the meal with desert of home made ice cream. Creamy and delicious with almond flavor and bits of cherries.
Service was prompt and many others brought their own wines. The waitress messed up my order, so I had to wait for it to be redone. She thought that I ordered a pasta dish when I had ordered chicken.
I would definitely visit this restaurant again and recommend it to others. This is the best Italian food that I have had in a long time.

Loved everything we ate here while in PA. We must have had 2 helpings of bread with the bean dip and olive oil. It is so simple, yet so delicious!
The caprese salad is fresh and the mozzarella is very good.
I had the crab and angel hair with piñón nuts for my entrée and my fiancé practically stole it. He ordered the chicken parmesan equally as good, but just different, (obviously) The pasta is al dente, perfectly cooked crab, olive oil/​butter sauce, good parm, and toasted pine nuts. YUM! The chicken is very lightly breaded, crisp, tender, juicy, and flavorful. Just the right amount of red sauce and cheese.
Tiramisu! We ate so much bread and pasta and chicken, I don’t know how I managed to practically lick the plate. (if we weren’t in such close quarters to other patrons, I just may have) It is so good. Creamy and rich. I wish they gave you a bigger slice. :)
This tiny BYOB is cramped, always busy, and has that mom and pop, humbled, great service that feels like family is serving you. I will frequent this establishment every time we come to visit! Try and make a reservation, especially on weekends!
You will have to work out for a week to work this meal off, but it is sooooo worth it!
