6 Best Italian Restaurants near Temple

“While the general atmosphere of the store is small town and simple the overall service is excellent, quality of food is superb as well as the pricing. When you think you're getting a decent amount for your meal, you're getting more than you bargained for and possibly have leftovers that are just as good the second time as they are the first. I've only gone once, but the day of this post, I am going my second time and wish to eventually go more often. If you love pizza as much as I do, this is definitely a great place to go! “

“The chicken parmigiana was amazing! It came with a cheesy, garlic bread and I had a wonderful, fresh Mediterranean side salad. I’m excited to come back and try several other items on their menu that I saw other people order that looked so tasty. But the next trip I’ve decided on baked Italian Muffeletta.“

“So I ordered to go in uber eats. I can't speak for the atmosphere or the customer service. But my food came fast!The fried ravioli were HUGE well cooked but didn't have a lot of taste.I got some alfredo as dipping sauce and it had a sweet taste to it so that was kind bad.The Philly cheesesteak sandwich though was EXCELLENT. Good amount of meat, great taste. Lots of veggies and well wrapped.“
