Hearthside

Hearthside is a contemporary wood-fired American restaurant nestled in the heart of Collingswood, New Jersey, at 801 Haddon Avenue. Since transitioning to a reservation-only tasting menu format in March 2023, this acclaimed establishment has become a destination for discerning diners seeking an intimate fine dining experience. Chef Dominic Piperno, a proud Cherry Hill native, leads the kitchen with a passionate focus on seasonal ingredients and wood-fired cooking techniques that showcase the best flavors of each season. The restaurant's design seamlessly blends earthy materials and textures, centered around a stunning custom wood-fired hearth that serves as both the cooking focal point and the visual heart of the space. Alongside his wife Lindsay, Chef Piperno has created more than just a restaurant—they've built a gathering place that honors the Collingswood community while delivering exceptional culinary artistry. Hearthside offers a prix fixe menu that rotates with seasonal themes, allowing Chef Piperno and his team to innovate and evolve continuously. The BYOB policy lets guests pair their own selections with the carefully crafted dishes. Private event options include elegant cocktail parties for up to 50 guests or seated dinner parties for 20-36 guests featuring four-course family-style dining. Reservations are essential for indoor dining, while outdoor seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
