“Great restaurant - highly recommended“

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.“

“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.“

“This place is the real deal! Authentic Italian cuisine that is fresh and flavorful! Service was impeccable and the portions are hearty! Definitely a must visit when coming to Philadelphia!!“

“Fantastic dining experience our server Sean Martin was amazing.“

“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 good is absolutely amazing“

“Wow! Great restaurant, small and intimate atmosphere, delicious food and super nice staff. We had the focaccia with meatballs and the polenta fritters for start, followed by the lumache and the dirty martini pork chop. For desert the chocolate tart is mind blowing. Chef James went around during the dinner and is a top-notch guy, very friendly. Will be back many times for sure.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great dinner and wonderful service!“

“Awesome good. Never seen a happy hour with such great choices and the food was fantastic.“

This was one of the best dining experiences with phenomenal entrees, excellent staff, beautiful atmosphere and amazing entertainment with the wait staff breaking into operatic song!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“The atmosphere was romantic, the food was divine (we especially loved the swordfish and the wild boar ragu), and the staff were the perfect combination of attentive and discreet so as to allow us to enjoy our dinner and time together with less interruption. We would absolutely return here without hesitation and highly recommend! Perfect for a date night or any special occasion.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went here last night with 16 people and everything was amazing from service to main course, the main reason why I am writing this review is because my seafood Fra Diavolo was absolutely amazing I will go back and order this again and again and again what a great place I highly recommend this place“

“Wonderful meal! This was a great restaurant with great service and fantastic food. Really enjoyed our meal. We had our kids with us who are accustomed to eating out in nicer restaurants. They were welcomed despite it being a quiet restaurant and even had a small kids menu.“

“This place is great! Service was great and our server/the staff was so attentive. Food was delicious, the family style is perfect in terms of serving sizes! We got the tuna crudo and squash arancini for starters. Then we got the mushroom tortellini, penne ala vodka, and the chitarra with meatballs. Dessert we had like a white chocolate pudding, and an apple pastry. Everything was delicious - our only complaints are that the mushroom pasta was slightly over salted, the peas in the penne felt a bit too hard and undercooked, and the desserts were a bit too sweet for my taste. Our favorites were the tuna, chitarra, and arancini. I recommend making a reservation but we walked in and sat at the chefs table (first come first serve) and it was so much fun watching them make our meal (shoutout to the chefs working tonight)! Note: I cant speak on regular serving sizes and their affordability/value since we only got family style.“

“My wife and I love The Saloon Restaurant.....the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. We eat at the Saloon when ever we are in the Philadelphia area or any where near Philly!!! 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“

“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 went to Haddonfield for lunch this week, and the restaurant we were intending to visit had closed outside of their normal hours. We ended up going to Umile, and it was a great surprise.
The restaurant is located on the ground floor of a residential building with an intimate seating area. The kitchen is right in the same room, so you can hear the orders being called out.

We started with the fried mozzarella and arancini. Both were excellent; the arancini had a great meat sauce, and the fried mozzarella featured sweet peppers in the sauce which was a wonderful touch.

For the entrees, we split a 12” “Bianca” pizza and the Wildfeather Paccheri Alla Vodka. The pizza was crisp with a good crust, and the fresh garlic was great. The paccheri was delicious, featuring a flavorful sauce with ribboned pepperoni, shallots, and chili flakes for a bit of a kick.

Overall, it was a wonderful meal. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Just note that they do not serve alcohol, but they do have a small drink selection.

We will definitely be back next time we’re in Haddonfield!“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating my mother-in-law's 85th birthday at Michael Coastal Italian Grille during restaurant week. Our dining experience was exceptional, marked by unparalleled food quality and exquisite presentation. The owners treated us like VIPs, ensuring a truly memorable evening. The beautiful birthday display and dessert they presented made the evening truly unforgettable. The impeccable white-glove service left us thoroughly impressed, and we cannot praise the experience enough. My mother-in-law was profoundly grateful for the special birthday celebration. We eagerly anticipate our next visit!“

“Panorama was the perfect final stop for our group’s Dine Around through Old City. From the moment we arrived, their team impressed us with a beautifully set table, custom-printed menus (even reflecting last-minute adjustments made earlier that day), and warm, attentive service throughout. Their team was more than willing to work with us to coordinate the details of the visit and were truly wonderful to collaborate with. Our guests were blown away not just by the food and wine, but by the history and ambiance of the space. Learning about Panorama’s world-record wine collection added such a memorable touch to the experience. As a food tour company that’s guided hundreds of groups around Philadelphia, we can confidently say that Panorama stands out. And we’ll absolutely be back! Thank you Panorama!!“
