"When one of my best friends turned 50
recently, I had to find the perfect spot to
celebrate on this appropriately shaky day. I
needed a place that was not too pricey but
cozy. I needed a little haven that offered
something we could all use more of on a
daily basis — heart.
In my mind, Camillo’s Café in the Princeton
Shopping Center had the right mix and
warmth for the occasion. And, while the
décor is cozy and the menu is authentic, it is
the tall man with the lovely Italian accent in
the floppy chef’s hat that infuses Camillo’s
Café with the ambience that makes it special.
This is a chef — his full name is Camillo
Tortola — who has no problem using the
word love when describing one of his favorite
dishes, Mozzarella D’ Buffalo." — Read the entire article from the Princeton Business Journal by Diane Landis Hackett

"...my husband, the mollusk lover, tried his favorite, zuppe de pesce, and pronounced it the best he has ever had. That's because the clams and mussels, salmon, and shrimp floated in a delicate red sauce with more heft than the usual fish broth."- U.S. 1, January 25, 2006 by Barbara Fox
"...this newcomer to Princeton Shopping Center makes you feel as if you're dining in the home of a friend...Mr. Tortola's cooking philosophy rests in the clarity inherent in fresh ingredients ...the veal milanese is just right. Breaded veal cutlet is crisp outside, tender and buttery inside. It is topped first with tomato, then with a bright mound of zesty arugula dressed with lemon vinaigrette. I love the interplay between savory, sweet, sharp and citrus. It's all such a perfect combination, and Mr. Tortola prepares this with complete confidence." - Princeton Packet, April 28, 2006 by Antoinette Buckley
"...Camillo's Cafe is delighted to offer Princeton diners authentic Italian cuisine... says Chef, Sommelier and Owner, Camillo Tortola, 'an Italian chef is like an artist. Italian food is so popular because of the culture of the country. The music, the way of life, the atmosphere. That is what I want to bring to my clients here. I want to bring the romance of Italy to you." - Town Topics, March 1, 2006 by Jean Stratton
"...Thanks, Nonna...A Red Sauce Trattoria with Style, in Princeton... pasta dishes are pleasing! ...the best was a dish of fresh pappardelle, thick sleek ribbons arrived in a ragout rich with Italian sausage, pecorino cheese and a drizzle of white truffle oil..." - New York Times, May 28, 2006
