We had our holiday party at Lo Bianco in Collingswood, NJ. It is a fantastic new restaurant that should have much success in this hot location for great food. We started with roasted portabella covered in cheese, onions, and spinich. Each serving was a great bit or two. Next we went to the mussells which were in a delicous garlic and saffron sauce. The bread was also very good with a great crust and just chewy enough.
The main meals were all fantastic. The braised beef shortrib was easily a standout. A huge rib with meat that melted in your mouth served over mashed potatoes and some grilled scallions. The scallops and steak au poivre was also great. Several people raved about the scallops. But the portion was a little small. But overall everyone was very pleased with their various meals.
For the food, the only disappointment was the dessert. We got the chocolate tort which was fair at best. I recommend the restaurant perhaps outsource their desserts to a local bakery.
The service was relatively prompt but a little unpolished. The waitresses did not adequately describe the food in detail. Also one was chewing gum.
Overall, a fantastic new place in Collingwood. I wish them many successes.
