Filomena Cucina Italiana

Stepping into Filomena Cucina Italiana is like finding the heart of Abruzzi right here in Gloucester Township. For nearly three decades, this family-owned premier establishment has delivered rustic, traditional Italian fare paired with a sophisticated, casual bar experience—making it a perfect blend of high-end dining and neighborhood watering hole.

The history here is tangible: the tradition is maintained by Mama Filomena herself, who continues to craft their legendary homemade gnocchi—a signature dish that diners rave about and a true testament to their authenticity. Beyond the pasta, the menu is a South Jersey favorite, featuring classic Italian dishes like Lobster Ravioli, Braised Short Ribs, and Eggplant Parmesan, alongside unique bar bites like their famous Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls.

But Filomena is more than just a magnificent Italian restaurant—it’s a lively destination bar. The dedicated bar and patio area offers a compelling cocktail program that elevates the experience beyond a typical dinner spot. Join the crowd for Happy Hour (Monday–Thursday and all day Sunday at the bar/patio) where you can sip on expertly mixed drinks like The Filo Espresso Martini or their signature Italian Margarita for a fantastic price.

The calendar is always packed with reasons to visit, cementing its status as an entertainment hub. Look out for weekly events such as Wine Down Tuesday, Wednesday Bar Trivia, and regular Live Music performances that give the venue a lively, lounge-like buzz. Filomena Cucina Italiana offers the trifecta of a great night out: history, hearty food, and a high-quality bar program in the heart of South Jersey.
