“My best friend brought me to this hidden gem last summer for my birthday and surprised me with a return visit this year — and I swear, it just keeps getting better. Hands down, this might be the best Italian in Philly. The food doesn’t just sit pretty on the plate — it jumps out, grabs you by the soul, and gives you a warm, savory hug. Every bite is a bold, beautiful explosion of flavor that hits you in the heart and the taste buds. This place isn’t just dinner — it’s a love story in pasta form.“

“Been eating there since I was a kid with family in the market. Now live in Key West for last 30 years but specifically make sure each time I come up to see family I go to Villa Di Roma, clams casino, asparagus, gravy and the people there that run it all family. Amazing piece of the food history of the Italian market that is a must try anytime.“

“I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary and we had a great experience. The ambience was nice, the staff was friendly, our waitress was attentive and the food was good. The manager Timothy Fisher stopped by our table twice to check on us and as we were on our way out, he ran up the stairs to hand us my girlfriend's purse which was left at our table. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you Tim, Maryn and team for all that you do!“

“The food was outstanding, I had the eggplant & burrito appetizer and the fusilli with crab and cherry tomatoes in a broccoli pesto sauce...delicious. And always my end to a great m a also is a dessert. I am seeker of great tira misu, and their's was outstanding as well and homemade as everything else had been.

“Thank heavens for Colonial Beach Local Foodie’s referral. Meet a gentleman at Thousand Trails resort just outside of Colonial Beach Va. that had a thick Upstate NY accent. We preceded to reminisce about family in Upstate NY,, of course food rolled into the conversation,. That’s how I came across Nonna Lena’s Italian Cuisine. I stopped by the restaurant by myself a couple of later.. Thought I’d get a quick lunch fix. Wrong! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I the chief my plate of Eggplant Parmesan. What a wonderful freshly made dinner (plus leftovers for 2 extra meals). The staff all were very friendly. Chiefly came out to see how I liked my meal. He shared some details about the newly open restaurant & homemade recipes, etc. He mentioned breakfast was also served and somehow in the conversation he decided to send me home with a sample of sausages & gravy along with my husbands meal. OMGoodness, the next day my breakfast was fantastic. Foodie’s note. Their food is prepared fresh from scratch daily😊. Don’t past by Colonial Beach Va. without dinning at Nonna Lena’s Italian several times.“

“The food, the staff, the service…all spectacular!“

“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!“

“Irwin's is one of those rare South Philly spots that actually lives up to the hype without trying too hard. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and intentional—bright, open space, relaxed energy, and a vibe that makes it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a planned night out.
The menu is where Irwin’s really stands out. It’s not overloaded or confusing, just focused and well thought out. Everything feels like it was designed with care, from the small plates to the larger shared dishes. The flavors are clean but still bold enough to keep things interesting. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail instead of just pushing out trendy food. Even simple dishes end up tasting elevated.
Service is another strong point. The staff is attentive without hovering, and they’re genuinely helpful when it comes to recommendations. There’s a balance there that a lot of restaurants miss—professional but still relaxed enough that you don’t feel rushed or pressured.
The rooftop space is also a big bonus. On a nice night, it really changes the whole experience. You get a great view of the neighborhood, and it adds a layer of personality that makes the meal feel more memorable than just “going out to eat.”
Pricing is fair for what you’re getting, especially considering the quality and setting. It’s not a budget spot, but it doesn’t feel overpriced either—you leave feeling like you got what you paid for.
Overall, Irwin’s is the kind of place that works for multiple occasions: date nights, group dinners, or just a solid meal when you want something better than average. It’s consistent, well-run, and easy to recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality dining experience in South Philly.“

“cute little establishment & freindly staff! the Italiano sandwich was to die for! 10/10“

“I love Talluto’s. After moving this summer, Talluto’s might be the one thing I miss most about Delco. The food is always incredible. Highlights are the hoagies, mozzarella balls, and stuffed long hots. My mouth is watering as I’m typing this. God, I miss Talluto’s.“

“Not just good but the best food in the northeast Philadelphia and they don't make no small sandwiches“

“This past spring my family and I took a roadtrip out east and after spending a day in Philadelphia watching the Union (MLS) we ventured into NJ in search of some local Italian eateries. It was a Sunday evening and not many establishments were open however we were fortunate Vitale's Italian Bistro was the exception. Warm welcoming staff greeted us, prompt and attentive wait service, and delicious food in abundance! It was a wonderful evening and a fine way in capping off our 10 day east coast road trip!“

“Piazza Napoli is an all-around great pizza parlor! They offer takeout, but also dine-in, and you can reserve for pizza party. Their delicious upside down pizza is our family fave, yummy inside outs, along with tomato pie. Prompt service, has been consistently ready on time for pick up. (We have not tried delivery.). Menu has so much to offer, everything has been tasty. Give 'em a try!“

“I am lucky to have heard of Scampi from the wonderful queen village residents and south Philly and beyond. As someone that doesn’t include Italian food in their top favorite cuisines, Scampi has me in a chokehold. Chef Liz highlights the various regions of Italy in her monthly prefix menus. The amount of love and care in the cuisine speaks for itself in the gorgeously presented and equally as tasty food; attentive service from the main server Avy; and chef talking points throughout the service. Her prefix menus change sometimes based on the vision and region and her chef mind is exceptional so you’ll definitely be surprised and content when she whips up phenomenal lesser known Italian dishes with a splash of Asian fusion. Aren’t we tired of penne alla vodka in Philly?? Here you may have a swordfish cutlet, gnudi, stuffed mussels, testaroli, patis flavored shrimp, country fried steak, tiramisu calamansi tarts, and ube cake; the creativity is endless. You also may be impressed with the seemingly simple focaccia that is served with some pastas, it’s soft and salty and delightful. When a chef can do savory, pastas, pastry, and baked goods… I'm locked in for good.
My recent visit on an a la carte Wednesday featured classic pastas, unique fishy salads, and an incredible (one of my favorites) smash burger. Avy gave us wonderful service and is extremely passionate about the food and making sure we enjoy ourselves. I don’t think there’s anything chef Liz and the sous chef Bry can’t do. I’m excited to see the future Italian food innovations/creativity here!!“

“10/10 do recommend. Excellent pup cup served. Filled to the top and swirled with love. Non dairy so belly doesn’t get upset. Mom loves their coffee and generally picks up some baked goods as well. I can generally convince her to share. My favorite is the lemon cake.“

“We did the tasting menu and were absolutely blown away by the exquisite flavors of each course. The wine pairing complemented each dish perfectly. The staff and chefs were exceptional as well.“

“The service is good but the busers are aggressive when one person is still eating you might want to tell your Hispanic buser not to come and interrupt the meal to clear plates away when the dining room is nearly empty that's why we don't come on Christmas Eve they damn near throw us out“

“The food and service is always fabulous! The Blackened Salmon was to die for! A shout out to Riley for being a great server and her recommendation for the salmon! My very favorite restaurant in Philly since 1993!!!“

“We just ordered Vesuvio's tonight, for a work party & a celebration for an employee promotion. They let me order off the catering menu same day & we got a half tray of Chicken Parm, Shrimp Scampi Pizza, some Linguini w Blush Sauce (I added crab for an additional fee) & Gnocci with Pesto Cream. Let me tell you, every single thing was perfectly executed & delicious. My team felt so special, getting such great food for our gathering. Vesuvio's never disappoints!“

“Whenever we drive to NJ from VA, we go a bit out of our way to stop at Botto’s. We always buy sweet Italian sausage links, among other items. The plain cheesecake is to die for, so creamy and delicious. I’m ecstatic that it is gluten free!! Thank you, Botto’s!“

“Our pizza was delicious,pepperoni pizza and a white pizza 🍕 outstanding! I’ll be back 👍🏻“

“Exceptional food, staff is incredibly friendly. Paesano's hosted a private event, the results were spectacular. A very welcoming environment. Pete, the chef, accomdated allergies, took the time to talk a bit about the courses. I will definitely be back to Paesano's.“

“Their pizza is probably the best in the greater Philadelphia and South Jersey region, and people don't realize it, because the facade is so modest. I'm a professional taster, chef and food critic, who has been on the judging panel on several high profile competitions.“

“We like their food. For a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, they're fresh, unusual, and innovative. A great place for lunch after picking fruit at Mood's Farm.“

“Great Italian hoagie. Authentic South Philly. I do have to warn you - if you’re not familiar with authentic ingredients, like the crusty seeded bread and aged cured meats, it may not be to your liking. Hoagie commissars will love it.“

“You are so noises and not respectful to the people who live here in this neighborhood. We are coming together to put a complaint in about the late noise which continues late out night outside the bar. W care tired of the late of respect for us the neighbors. We will continue to call the police because some of us have to get up at 6:00 to work at the hospital,“

“Most underrated pizza in city“

“I hosted a family Christmas party here on a Sunday from 11am to 2pm. The food and service were outstanding. Nicole was the point of contact as well as the bartender. She did an amazing job. I highly recommend using Dom & Mia's for your next event.“

“The food here is phenomenal and the staff is Wonderful I get the Shrimp Fra Diablo My friend gets the Manicotti Both dishes are delicious The pizza and bread as well as the oil dipping is amazing. You will not be disappointed“

“Great food but even better customer service!“

“The Olive Restaurant is a hidden gem for sure. The food was awesome with generous portions and our server was very attentive. I recommend this place if your looking for a good dining experience.“
