“Everything we have ordered has been fabulous. My personal favorite are the homemade soups--they are my go to dinner on a busy night or a chilly day. I felt under the weather today and ordered the chicken orzo soup. It came piping hot with warm fresh rolls....just what I needed! And of course...finish off with a cannoli!“

“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.“

“Bravo! Dinner was delicious. This place is a gem.“

“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.“

“Lovely atmosphere, very good food and our Waiter Nick was wonderful!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food Bette than Olive Garden food wise but slow service“

“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.“

Entrees: Miso glazed sea bass or filet with stuffed lobster tail both Devine! 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!!“

“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!“

“Awesome Place to host your Family and Friends. Management goes above and beyond. A perfect support when entertaining Veterans as well. We were treated Royally on November 10. Thank you Mario, Liza and Staff. Happy Thanksgiving“

“Most amazing food & excellent service!!!“

“I ordered a Johnzarotti with extra cheese extra sausage extra green peppers Iforgotthe onions. But still excellent very tasty hats off to the Chef who has been there since I was a child in the late 70s early 80s. Back when they wr near the location of the current bank in the shopping center see picture below johns bought it from a family who used to sell burgers. Every time I have a Johnzarotti it brings me back to simpler times what a great comfort food ty for continuing to serve our community.“

“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!“

“Finally decent pizza in Collingswood! After shopping on the avenue, we stopped in for lunch. Honey got a gourmet “Chicken Marco Polo” pizza and I opted for a Sports salad, loaded with fresh grilled chicken and really enough for two people. We have been to the Montegrillo’s in Pennsauken but this is closer to home with the same great menu“

“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!“

“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.“

“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,“

“My niece had her law school graduation party here the other night and the entire family, 21 of us, cannot say enough about the excellent food and service that we received. My elderly mother and I were early when they were still setting up, and they welcomed us with open arms and got us some coffee because it was so rainy and cold. The food was excellent. We had many courses, and my sister-in-law said that they were extremely accommodating and offered many choices at a good price for the menu. The owner was lovely to work with. I cannot say enough about how excellent the food was as was the superb service that we received from the entire team. They were on every need amidst a very busy restaurant while navigating around walkers and people like absolute pros... with a smile on their face the entire time. I sincerely hope that the owner and staff see this review.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Our favorite place!😍 the service is also amazing!“

“Most underrated pizza in city“

“We ordered a half pan of chicken parm for Christmas Eve dinner. It said it serves 5. They lied. So much food! Of course it’s delicious so we’ll happily eat it for days. Just be warned that catering portions are very large. Also they have the best vodka sauce I’ve had.“

“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“

“Everything we ordered was great .“

“I attempted to get another carry out order on Sunday, January 11th. App indicated the restaurant was open for business. Then I got a cancellation on the online order app. A 5 minute ride over to the restaurant Showed the proof of it not being open. Disappointing! I ended up going over to another italian restaurant up the street. I told the person what I encountered , and immediately , he said , yes , they have a reputation with being a little sketchy , sometimes with operation.“

“This was our second time here. I had the Keylime gelato and my husband had the pistachio cheesecake gelato. Always so delicious! Thank you guys for having the best gelato around!!“

“The gentleman who helped us accommodated kid and adult preferences, made a fresh pizza, and worked with us sufficient slices at a good price. I wish I could remember his name, but he went above and beyond. The pizza itself was delicious, with thin crust and an excellent combination of flavors.“

“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.“

“Genova Pizza is a hidden gem that has been delighting locals with its unparalleled flavors and inviting atmosphere. This cozy eatery may not have the flash of larger chains, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with its dedication to quality and authenticity for nearly 50 years - let that sink in. There’s a reason this place has been featured on nearly every Philly tv station and publications. What I can say is this… as soon as you step inside, the warm aroma of freshly baked pizza fills the air, instantly making you feel at home. The menu boasts a delightful selection of pizzas (and much, much more) each crafted with care using high-quality ingredients. From a classic cheese slice to inventive specialty pies, there’s something to satisfy everyone’s palette. What truly sets Genova Pizza apart is its commitment to customer satisfaction. The friendly staff headed by Ali and his brother are always ready to greet you with a smile and provide personalized recommendations, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Whether you choose to dine in or take out, you can expect the same level of attention and care in every order. So, if you find yourself in Audubon, don’t miss the opportunity to discover Genova.“

“Bruno’s has the best pizza for miles around. Although the pizza is good to take away, it’s best enjoyed on premises. The tomato pie is excellent. Their dining service is great and really makes up for the lack of atmosphere in the dining area.

Vegetarian options: Vegans can really enjoy the tomato pie.“

“ilove the food m the staff....“

“Fairly new, we decided to give this wine bar a try for Valentine's Day. Cibo Vino is a quiet, welcoming wine bar with house made pasta and incredible specials. Our server consistently checked on us as my husband can down a Diet Pepsi in record timing, and was pleasantly surprised when she'd swipe his glass and bring it back full before noticing. 10/10 overall experience & will be back soon for their entire dessert menu!“

“Franco's (part of the Tarantini family, creators of the Panzaroti) is a great place for authentic panzarotis. Service is pleasant, food is the best, the number of choices for fillings are amazing and they're always served hot out of the fryer. Minor gripe: just occasionally, when carrying out, they'll get the orders mixed up so be sure to check that it's yours.“

“Nice people, good food, the delivery people are Top notch!“
