Food = Service = Ambiance = Food was great and in keeping with the quintessential South Philly Italian restaurant fare. Our servers were fantastic and very attentive. The dining room was, unfortunately, extremely noisy and it was not conducive to conversation.

Food was good, not great. There was no bread or salad offered. Additionally, my chicken parm did not come with a side of pasta, which is fine, but I didn’t know that and I wasn’t even asked if I’d like to add it for an additional fee. I feel like that should have been communicated a little more clearly.

This is by far my favorite restaurant. The food, the service and everything in between is amazing! This is a family owned business and when you're there they make you feel like family! The Cavatelli is the best dish if you're in the mood for pasta, it is homemade and the sauce is incredible. If you're in the mood for meat, the veal mare e monti is amazing! For dessert the ricotta cheesecake is like nothing I have ever tasted! If you haven't gone it is a must try! You will be back!

From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Concetta, I knew this was going to be a wonderful dinner. We didn’t have reservations, but it was obvious why we would need one. Everything was 5 star from the service by multiple staff and in particular our server Eric to the fantastic meal. We came the day before Easter and were served house bread with a special Easter bread as well and a marinated carrot dish to start. From there we had a surprise bruschetta, fettuccine alfredo, a veal penne dish, and a veal medallion dish with prosciutto, mozzarella, and shrimp with a mushroom cream sauce, side of rosè pasta and house veggies (spinach and roasted potatoes). We were constantly being attended to and made to feel like the most special guests, but looking around that was the standard for the service here. We started with a glass of the house Pinot noir but decided to grab a bottle from there. We finished with an apple tart and a banana crème dessert and a couple of cappuccinos. Never have I been to a restaurant so welcoming and happy to provide an exceptional experience. This was best part of our trip to Philadelphia. Thank you Concetta, Eric, the chef, and the rest of the staff who made this our now go to place in Philadelphia. We will always remember our meal and how special you made our night. Thank you!Kid-friendliness: They served my son just like they would an adult and he loved the wonderful food.
The meals and drinks were fantastic. I loved the family atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and the service was great!

We came here for my family members birthday and there was quite a bit of us (13), the owner Connie was an absolute gem and hooked us up with a private room. She came in numerous times to check in and make sure everything was okay and staff was so nice and quick. I have to say it was worth every penny, everyone was so nice and the food was AMAZING. We had a wonderful time, I would definitely recommend coming here.Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free options!
