Celebrating three birthdays (Jay, Jay's Mom, and Karin), we visited Il Villaggio, 211 Haddonfield-Berlin Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 (856-795-1778), for lunch on Saturday, January 9, 2021. We had a wonderful time. We were seated near the fireplace and everything was delicious! Erid, our server, was fantastic.
