Who doesn't love a good Italian restaurant?

There's always something tasty on the menu for meat-lovers and vegetarians alike, right?

Gloucester Township has plenty of options when it comes to Italian eateries, and we're not even counting the spots that primarily serve pizza and take-out sandwiches.

Gloucester Township Patch wants to know which is your favorite.

Is it Coppola Restaurant & Pizza, Bensi Ristorante Italiano, Salvatore's Trattoria, Bertucci's, Filomena Cucina Italiana, The Italian Terrace Restaurant, Villari's Lakeside Restaurant & Bar, or Cotardo's Ristorante Italiano?

Vote for your favorite in the poll below and don't forget to click on the links above and rate the business on its Patch "Places" directory listing. You can even leave a review.

If there is another local restaurant that we missed here in our poll or in the directory, be sure to tell us in the comments section below.

In the event of a tie on our survey, we will break the tie by counting the positive comments written below about the tied businesses, so please let us know why you think your choice is best.

The poll will close at 9 a.m. Friday, as will those on fellow Camden County Patch sites Haddonfield and Collingswood.

Editor's note: Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reader reviews in the Patch "Places" directory. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

Be sure to check back next week when we focus on family-friendly activities in Gloucester Township.
