Hearthside

Hearthside is a restaurant in Collingswood, NJ, located at 801 Haddon Avenue. It is a contemporary wood-fired American restaurant led by Chef Dominic Piperno, a Cherry Hill native who focuses on local and seasonal products, creating dishes that represent the season across rotating set menu themes. The restaurant holds a rating of 4.60.

The kitchen centers on a custom wood-fired hearth, which is the focal point of the restaurant's design, and the dining room uses earthy materials and textures meant to complement the flavors prepared there. In March 2023, Hearthside transitioned to a reservation-only tasting menu format, a change the restaurant made to improve work-life balance for its team and their families while creating more opportunities for collaboration and evolution in its kitchen. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients and wood fire cooking. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, guests may choose between the seasonal prix fixe menu or a limited a la carte menu; on weekends, only the prix fixe menu is offered. Reservations are for indoor dining only, while outside dining is first come, first served. The restaurant has partnered with Cook's Liquors in Westmont, NJ to offer wine pairings from independent grower/producers whose wines reflect the terroir and whose winemaking practices are sustainable.

Hearthside also hosts private events during normal dinner hours, beginning after 5pm. Cocktail parties are designed for larger groups of up to 50 guests, with limited seating and a heavy selection of passed hors d'oeuvres. Dinner parties accommodate 20 to 36 guests and include an abbreviated cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres, followed by a seated, four-course, family style dinner.

The restaurant is known for its food, ambiance, and service, and for being part of the Collingswood community. Its 4.60 rating reflects the positive response of the customers who have reviewed it.
