Anyhow, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The service was great (even with the crowd). And the food was delicious! I'll recommend this restaurant to my friends.“

“Excellent Bolognese and Tiramisu!“

“Checked out The Victor Cafe founded in 1918, a little gem of an Italian restaurant in South Philly. All staff are also opera singers and perform an aria every 30 minutes. Also, this place was featured in Rocky Balboa and Creed as Adian's Restaurant. This place is definitely worth a visit. Recommend having a reservation.“

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

“We enjoyed ourselves; my daughter ordered the ravioli, which she stated was very tasty. She just wished it was s little more, she didn't know the portion was small. My husband and I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich...excellent, just needed a little more pesto or a special mustard sauce“

“Amazing atmosphere with incredible service and great food! Thank you Bellini!“

“My wife, son, and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at Saloon to celebrate my 65th birthday. All of our dishes were delicious, especially the soft-shell crab appetizer. The cocktails were also nicely done. I enjoyed a Manhattan before dinner and a chocolate martini with dessert. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Saloon is one of our favorite restaurants in the city.“

“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!!“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“I have been to many course meals, but this is the top 5 best restaurants I have ever been to. Philadelphia is so lucky to have Elma. Amazing food, incredible service and hospitality. I was reminded of childhood meals and reveled in the incredible blend of flavors and textures. I will absolutely be coming back to dine at the incredible Elma.“

“Came here on the weekend but in the middle of the afternoon to celebrate a birthday.... Nice clean restaurant, tables fairly close but still roomy enough.The servers did a great job and the food came out surprisingly fast, which was nice.
We thought that the casesar salads were excellent. The romaine was fresh and a nice dark green and the croutons were a great texture, not too hard.
The eggplant and ricotta sandwich was very good, especially the cheese which has a fantastic texture!..the only criticism being the roll could have been larger to fit in the contents of the sandwich. We were blown away by the Prov Pie (upside down) and thought it was one of the best pizzas we ever had (we're Philly natives and all over age 60, so that must say something!)“

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

“Came in from Denver and was craving some great Italian. They did not disappoint! Service was excellent. Food was amazing! Clams Casino and Meatballs appetizer set a high bar for the rest of the meal, and they nailed it. Seafood ala Scannichios and the NY strip longjohn were hugely portioned and delicious. Others in our party had the Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parm and a few others- and they raved about them. Tiramisu and Bananas Foster were sublime. The owner Christian and his family really made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back on future trips.“

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

“We have been dining here while visiting from another state at least annually for the last 13 years. The food and service have been consistently excellent and we have had large family gatherings in a private room here. All family members were very pleased with food quality, selection and service. Highly recommended !!!“

“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 homemade pasta is really excellent. The texture was perfectly toothsome. I got the cacio e pepperoncini (vegan option) and it was quite good, though the sauce wasn’t my favorite. It felt very oily and I’m not sure if that’s a product of veganizing the sauce. I loved the tangy spice of the pepperoncini though.

The shishito peppers were good, but fairly standard blistered peppers like I’ve had at many other restaurants. The almond / mint sauce was quite nice though.

The plates are generously portioned.

Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian options that are clearly labeled. They also have clear labels for dishes that can be made vegetarian or vegan.“

“Gorgeous location, great service, and most importantly the food is amazing. I fervently wish Irwin’s existed in my hometown as I’m sure I would become a regular. As it is, I will definitely be going back the next time I’m in Philly. The setting, on the 8th floor of an old school building, is extremely cool and aesthetic and they styled the space beautifully with lots of plants. The view is wonderful. I went with a friend and we shared a “girl dinner” of four desserts followed by pasta. I keep thinking about the gelato I had, which was flavored with sweet cream and topped with a layer of honey and a mound of pistachios. The sweet and salty combination was amazing. Another standout was the orange olive oil torte with a bay leaf-infused cream. The lemon pasta was simple with a depth of flavor and strong umami. The bathroom also gets excellent lighting for selfies. Highly recommend.“

“Cozy quiet atmosphere, impeccable service and every dish was delicious. 😋“

“Amici Restaurant exceeded all expectations! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for both a quiet dinner or a lively family gathering. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor — from the fresh bruschetta to the creamy risotto and perfectly cooked seafood pasta. You can truly taste the quality and care put into every meal. Don’t skip dessert — the tiramisu is out of this world! Amici is now one of our favorite spots in town. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine and genuine hospitality. We will definitely be back with more friends!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Nunzio’s this evening for a work gathering. Every course was excellent! I cannot wait to bring my family back. The food was fresh and delicious.“

“I had dinner at La Sera the other day and was impressed. The appetizers were delicious--we had the calamari, cozze, and mushrooms. All were delicious, but the mushrooms were phenomenal. For entrees, our table had the ribeye, veal ripieno, spaghetti and meatballs, and ravioli rosa. Everyone loved their food.

And I must give a special shout out to Meritan. I realized the next day that I left my hat at the restaurant and I had already left for the airport to return to Florida. I connected with Meritan who I coordinated with to have it shipped to my house.

In all, La Sera offers delicious food and service from good people. I will certainly be back.“

“Great cocktails, delicious food, and overall great atmosphere“

“Parking: Yeah they had a nice big window with a big flat screen television with the eagles game on it so sitting in my car and ate our sandwiches as we watched the game it sort of reminded me of being at a drive-in movie atmosphere only we were watching Eagles game.“

“I originally gave this place 1 star, now they have new owners or new management or both. So far, everything I have order was good, no problem with pick up or delivery. I haven't tried everything yet, just the pasta dishes and they were all delicious. Customer Service was good too“

“Our server was great. i think her name was Natalie. The food was great. We did the family style. Very tasty, superb.“

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

“Great, tasty food. Wonderful service. Great drinks.“

“I’m a SJ native and have been going to Scotto with my girlfriend for about 5 years. It is hands down the best pizza around. We will drive well out of our way to get it. It’s a travesty that all of these “best pizza” lists don’t choose it as it should be better known. Look at the reviews.

If you want brick oven pizza or a fancy sit down, yes that is not here. But Scotto is the place to get the best pizza.“

“We had the most amazing meal on Mother’s Day at Albertino’s Italian! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented as each dish was crafted with care and bursting with authentic Italian flavor. The desserts were equally impressive, a perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive and efficient without ever making us feel rushed. Their genuine hospitality added so much to the evening. Albertino’s is a true gem. We’ll absolutely be back! Paul“

“Food was very good. Disappointed in portion size for price $35 dollars for pasta seemed a lot for this amount“

“Great dinner and wonderful service!“

“Pizza was absolutely amazing! The best pizza I ever had at room temperature.“

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍“

“Highly recommend this local Fishtown family owned establishment. The grocery selection is fabulously curated and don’t get me started on the hoagies 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤. Love to love this place. All the vibes. ♥️✌️“

“What a great place with great food! We had my daughter's baby shower there yesterday and everything was perfect! Thank you to Justin, Norene and the rest of the staff for making it one of the best days ever!“

“Great dinner and great service. I had the crab cakes and my partner had the Rib-eye special both were outstanding. Worth every cent and we can’t wait to go back!“
