About

Chef Michael DeLone

Michael Coastal Italian Grille is redefining what an Italian restaurant in Collingswood, NJ should be. Just minutes from Philadelphia, we are a modern coastal Italian BYOB restaurant focused on executing at a high level, without compromise.

This isn’t red-sauce comfort and it’s not fine dining for show. It’s handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and bold Italian flavor—built from scratch, every day. Chef Michael DeLone brings years of experience from top Philadelphia kitchens, combining classic technique with a sharper, more focused approach. The result is a restaurant quickly becoming one of the best Italian dining experiences in South Jersey.

House-made pastas, seafood-driven plates, and seasonal dishes that evolve with the market define the kitchen. For those looking for a deeper experience, our chef’s tasting menus showcase the restaurant at its highest level—thoughtful, ingredient-driven, and constantly changing.

Everything is intentional. No filler. No shortcuts. Serving Collingswood, Haddonfield, Cherry Hill, and the greater Philadelphia area, we deliver high-level food, consistency, and a place worth coming back to.
