Rutolo’s

I TOTALLY Agree with Mike.
And to be quite honest, I am SHOCKED and APPALLED… lol…that this review board isnt flooded, because from the time that I walked thru the door at Rutolo’s Gourmet Specialties and Café’, I was in HEAVEN.
Not only does Mike take great Pride and care in choosing his menu and dishes to please your palate… BUT it is like taking your taste buds on a journey, I kid you not, and exaggerate NOT… For the money and dining experience, it is one that TRANSFORMS you. Your belly will thank you and bow down to you later that evening… hahaha…
I work in the area and became aware of the little café that was going in on High Street in Mount Holly and watched as the building and décor evolved. it is a very charming place and a GREAT first date location…
respectable prices and OUT of THIS WORLD food.
The aromas that seeps out of the lovely store front is one that will take you back to Olde World Italy. Guaranteed, your mouth will water.
Whether if it is a salad, panini, fresh baked cookie, You are certain to savor every morsel and moment that the home made creations dance upon your tasetbuds.
Also, they have a great MEAL DEAL, Friday Night Four Play. It is a wonderful choice of 4 Courses, some dishes to share and some dishes to hog. LOL.
You are seated in their rear courtyard, which makes the experience more of a garden-​like villa patio dinner…(Weather permitting)
and you enjoy appetizers… a salad, … an Entrée’ and a Dessert.
Wellah! Bellisimo!
I hope that you will add this charming little spot to your «NEXT PLACE TO DINE» List…
See ya at Rutolo’s!

My wife has been talking about Rutolo’s for a few months now. She’s told me that it’s this great little secret place in Mount Holly that has great sandwiches at a good price.
This past Friday, we both had the day off from work and decided to take a trip to check it out. For some reason, I was expecting a deli/​grocery store. What we got was nothing like that… this was a cute little sandwich shop in the middle of what looked like a small town shopping area.
First off, I love the décor… something about the tile work and the freshly painted red walls made the interior very inviting and warm.
Within seconds of walking through the front door, we were greeted by the owner/​chef, Mike. He gave us a welcoming smile and even shook my hand when my wife introduced me.
We placed our order… two pannini’s… I got the chicken parm and my wife got the turkey with swiss and red peppers (if I remember correctly). We also ordered a garlic Parmesan french fries.
Both sandwiches were fantastic!!! Fresh and perfectly pressed comfort food!!! As a pleasant surprise, Mike gave us a side of potato croquettes. WOW!!! My wife and I couldn’t get over how good these were. So creamy and warm!!! You could easily find these in any fine dining restaurants in Philly for 3 or 4 times the price.
The bottom line, Rutolo’s is a hidden gem that I’m sure if it were in Olde City in Philadelphia, the place would be packed all day long!!! It’s that good!!!
I can easily see us taking the 30 min drive in a heartbeat.
This place is really one of those special places that everyone should check out at least once.
