Catelli Duo – A Delicious Twist on Italian Cuisine

by Dana J. Prophet

If you are looking for scrumptious Italian cuisine with a trendy but cozy setting in the Voorhees, N.J. area you don’t have to search high or low to find it. Catelli Duo offers delicious food that is both fresh and seasonal within a spacious location.

On the day of arrival, the skies opened and torrential rain poured from the heavens. Fortunately there was plenty of available parking very close to Catelli Duo’s entrance. If you so choose, the parking valet were on hand to take your car in this and all types of weather.

Choose your seating based on the temperament of the night. If meeting friends or coworkers for drinks, head over to the bar. Catelli Duo also has outdoor seating and live music performing every Thursday night for those who would like to appreciate the warm weather. There is of course the main restaurant with large windows to let in the natural light without the glare.

You will notice quickly notice the staff’s friendliness in making sure you are comfortable and welcomed. The menu offered numerous options for any appetite. If you wanted to share with your companion there was the DUO – twice the size and perfect to share. Perhaps passing the plate isn’t on the night’s agenda, the UNO – a tapas-like portion is better for you.

Catelli Duo focused their energies on their Italian cuisine, atmosphere, and a huge inventory of fine wines to choose from. No matter what you decided to be agenda of the day, you will leave with happy and satiated with the best regional Italian food in the area.

Sit back and relax. You are about to dine on delicious Italian food.
