Dessert: Chocolate heaven flourless cake and salted carmel creme brulee were heavenly 😋 Our waiter Griffin was wonderful and very knowledgeable, especially since we needed gluten free options. Highly recommend and will be going back!!“

“Love Franco’s! The only place for Panzarotti done right!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant! I'm a pizza snob and this is honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Always get cheesesteak and veggie pizza. The crust is thin and crispy and they load up the toppings for both. Highly recommended!“

“Rexy’s consistently delivers exceptional food and service. Every meal I’ve had has been expertly seasoned and prepared with care, and the quality is remarkably reliable. Their beverage program is equally impressive—Geno’s handcrafted drinks are truly outstanding. His creativity and attention to detail result in cocktails that are both unique and memorable. Rexy’s remains a standout choice, and I confidently recommend it to anyone seeking an excellent dining experience.“

“Whenever I call I always get the best ordering experience!!! My Maddie is the best and then there is Cynthia who is also quite awesome!! Keep up the great work girly girls!! You make the customers feel like they matter and remember what we like so it isn’t repeated constantly every time I order. ( which is several times a week ). Delivered in a timely manner and hot or cold it’s the right temp! Tonight I spoke to a Crystal 🤨🧐🤔 I’ll have to check back in on her. Great place great food!!“

“If I could give 100,00 stars, I would. Service was incredibly friendly, down to us saying how much we loved the sauce and our server brought up a little side of sauce and another piece of bread just so we could savor the flavors a little longer. Each dish truly got better and better. This BYOB spot is a complete standout and you need to RUN HERE. Shoutout to our servers, Maggie and Mary, and Chef Ben for a memorable, absolutely delicious experience.“

“My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of attending a special fundraising dinner at Her Place Supper Club benefiting Sue's Produce Market, a beloved neighborhood business that we regularly shop at and genuinely love. Knowing that this dinner was organized to help support Sue's and keep this important community staple open made the experience even more meaningful. The evening featured a beautifully executed seven-course meal served in a communal dining setting, which created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Sharing the experience with others who clearly care about the community added something truly special to the night. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me was the wagyu steak. It was absolutely incredible and easily my favorite dish of the evening. What impressed me most was seeing the chef and owner of Her Place Supper Club use her talent and platform to support a local business that so many people in the Rittenhouse area know and love. It was a wonderful example of a community coming together through great food for an important cause. A memorable dining experience, an outstanding meal, and a reminder of how powerful local support can be. Thank you to Her Place Supper Club for hosting such a meaningful event, and here's to continued support for Sue's Produce Market. ❤️🥕🍽️“

“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.“

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.“

“We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed great service and excellent food!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I’ve heard about Fiorino for so long, especially from someone who lives in Florida! I finally went and it was all they said it would be! Absolutely delicious! I asked our server what entree I should get because I couldn’t decide between 2 of them that I wanted. He said “No problem! I’ll bring you a half portion of each!” WHO does that in today’s world?! So absolutely kind and cool. I loved every single thing I had there and can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“We had our son’s rehearsal dinner here, everything was great . We Had Taylor , who did everything, she was by herself, due to someone calling out . She severed over 30 people from Appetizers to dessert all with a smile . She helped set everything up and was amazing . Great food and atmosphere! A super special shout out to Taylor , she’s an absolute ROCKSTAR!“

“Great dinner and wonderful service!“

“Highlely recommend...Food was fantastic, service was dialed in, and atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. The star of the appetizer round (ciccheti) was the dragon tongue bean and honey nut squash, sauteed on a grill top with simple seasoning that showcased the fresh ingredients. For pasta we loved the stuffed farfale - basically italian roast pork with rabe and provolone in a well executed homemade sachet of goodness executed to perfection, decadent but not overpowering. We also had the lamb tagliatelle ragu, also excellent but tough to follow the farfale. Service was friendly, attentive and relaxed how we like it. Note... wines are Pennsylvania sourced from Wayvine, which we were not familiar with but were good not great. Especially enjoyed the dry reisling with the appetizer and farfale followed by the carmine (earthy) with the ragu pasta. We'll be back for sure...“

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

“We were just there to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from TJU. Impeccable service, delicious food and cocktails. Our server, Michael was amazing from start to finish! 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!“

“Too difficult to buy a cup of coffee here, the coffee ordering set up should be in the front, not the back and why is it so dark in the back? I want to like this place but it has no vibe…just the sight of staffers running around. The Hostess always looks bored and the back is like a madhouse. It’s one of the only places to get a cup of coffee ☕ near to Rittenhouse Park but where it’s well lit, it’s a quiet upscale grocery shop but the back feels like you’ve entered a subway station at rush hour!

Not sure what the remedy is but I’d suggest that you open up the front space, remove the annoying velvet rope and stop putting “reserved” signs on all of the tables (just sit people there who want to enjoy a cup of coffee for 15 minutes). This is a beautiful spot, but boy does it stress me out once you walk in the back.

Put on Italian music and hire some drop dead gorgeous guy or gal who knows how to convey ITALIAN WARMTH to customers!!! Every time I walk in the hostess is shy. She should be greeting guests and be IN FRONT, not planted at the podium.

Your restaurant is gorgeous ✨ , but it never feels welcoming 🤷🏽‍♀ it’s bright and pretty but it’s hectic feeling in the back - sorry, someone had to tell you..“

“Came in on Saturday last week for my birthday and tonight for my girlfriend’s birthday. The atmosphere is chill the views are amazing. Our servers have been engaging and knowledgeable. And the food is outstanding. Last week we did the chef’s tasting with the whole fish as the main course ($90 per person). Tonight we got the fritto misto, the eggplant and eggplant caponata, and the swordfish with green garlic for the apps. The rigatoni, spaghetti, and the trophie for the second course (pasta full plates) and the half chicken for the main course. Everything was delicious but the trophie pistachio pesto stood out as the best dish for my girlfriend and I. We finished the night with two cappuccino’s and tiramisu. It is a little pricey but worth every penny. If you’re looking for excellent food, a great atmosphere and beautiful views Irwin’s is the place. In my opinion Irwin’s and Meetinghouse in Fishtown are the two coolest restaurants in Philly.“

“We held an 80th birthday party at Verona. The service was top notch and owners beyond accommodating. The guests said they want to come back! The clams casino is my favorite. The outdoor seating is great.“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“Was very nice people friendly“
