I learned during a past visit that they probably put parmesan in the breading so I got grilled chicken and pasta with marinara sauce. It was delicious.

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.

“my fiance and I were in Philly (from Maine) and she treated me to Osteria for my birthday dinner. The service was amazing throughout the meal, I wish I got the servers name as he was really an incredibly friendly young man who clearly knew the menu very well. The atmosphere is wonderful and the interior is just lovely. In terms of the food, I had the wild boar bolognese which was a special that night, and it was AMAZING!! Really, all the food was impeccable, from the focaccia to our mains. Super pleased and the next time I’m in town, I will most definitely be coming back!!“

“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.“

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 care and concern for my Dad’s well being did not go unnoticed and was appreciated! Will definitely be in again! Thank you for a great evening!“

“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. But I must know if the tira misu was made with mascarpone. Please ler me know. I will definitely come again!“

“The good food here is really good. The Ponza was perfect and seasoned well. My husband had the crab ravioli with pesto sauce. I'm not even a fan of pesto but this was amazing. My baby who hardly eats anything, cleared a plate of spaghetti. The only issue I had was there isn't a changing table in the restrooms. The staff was nice enough to find a room I could change my baby in but just an FYI if you have little ones.“

IT IS OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN PHILADELPHIA AND THE UNITED STATES, FOR THAT MATTER!!! IF YOU ARE IN PHILLY, DON'T MISS THE SALOON!!! DEM“

“Great dinner and wonderful service!“

“My family had dinner at Albertinos today for my mom and husbands birthday. Because there was 9 of us they require a fix price meal for each person. This price includes an app, main, and dessert - anything on the menu. The service here is outstanding. The food is better than anywhere else in town, and for me- the best Italian I have ever had. Dinner for 9 of us took about three hours. To me, this is amazing. There was no rush. They made sure everything was perfect. We were able to relax and enjoy our time. We have been there two other times and have had the same waitress. The daughter of the owner (Jsut another plus). She is bubbly and kind and makes sure everyone has a great time. Thank you for a great evening.“

“My family is from Northern Italy. My grandmother and great grandmother were the best cooks in the world. They would have loved the food at Dolce. My family was at home in Memphis making raviolas that same day my daughter and I were in Philadelphia. It was our first visit to your beautiful city. When we return someday, we will definitely be coming back there to eat. Thank you for a wonderful 70th birthday dinner. Mille grazie!“

“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.“

“I had a delicious lunch meal with my family. The bread was a great start to the meal. All of the dishes were delicious and so was the dessert. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We have been wanting to go here for a while and finally snagged a reservation for my birthday! It is worth all the hype and accolades. We ordered 6 plates and it was the perfect amount. The mussels are perfection, I could eat those everyday. The cavatelli - superb! Honesty, it was all amazing. The staff is so warm, welcoming and personable too. We can’t wait to go back!“

“We had a great last night in Philly. The food, location, and our server, Tyler was friendly, courteous, and had a good sense of humor to handle 3 Southern woman. Thank you!“

“I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always been fantastic. Tonight especially so. The setting is obviously unique but the food and service would deliver in any location.

From the second we got off the elevator we were friends. The host welcomed our kids and us (we normally don’t bring our kids to dinner) more naturally than those closest to us. We had a temporary diet restriction and the chef came out and talked us through it and tailored something specific to what we needed.

I work in this industry and spend pretty much all my free time in it too. Places like this are rare sources of both inspiration and aspiration for me.“

“celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday last night and everything was perfect.“
