“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.“

“Not child friendly need more option“

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.“

“Our first time at Bistro Romano and won't be our last. Romantic, quiet and dark with a piano playing softly in the distance. Service is great and food is delicious, especially the Caesar salad. Lobster ravioli was lightly sauced, with plenty of lobster and tender pasta. My partner ordered the strip steak, which he said was ok but I thought it was pretty good. Warm olives, a first for me, was good but more than I could eat by myself. I'd like to try other options on the menu but Caesar salad will be on repeat.“

“Food and service was impeccable. Roasted Chicken and Salmon dish arrived hot and were delicious. Servers were attentive and water and bread refilled without asking. I highly encourage you to look past their previous bad reviews. They are much much better than their 3.2 average rating as of this review.“

“So happy to find this restaurant. Sam our server was amazing. The veal saltimbocca was to die for! Only thing I question is the portion of calamari was not big at all. Everything else on point and I won't ding then for that, the food was too good“

“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.“

“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!!“

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“

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!“

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

“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!“

“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 a great experience! Our table got a pie, 1 cheesesteak with, 1 cheesesteak without and a chicken parm sandwich. We loved everything! They were super busy w carryout (1st eagles game vs the cowboys) and we still got our food quickly. Great service and great waiter!“

“This is a very nice small BYOB Italian restaurant in the Fish town area. The food and service were exceptional. Love all the dishes we ordered. The prosciutto, focaccia and marinated tomatoes were all, excellent as starters. The Spaghetti pomodoro was perfectly cooked, especially the spaghetti. Claim linguine was cook to perfection and the claim was so fresh. The fried chicken Caesar salad was so good. Highly recommend to try.“

“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. ♥️✌️“

“one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.

i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.

I love Irwin’s.“

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍“

“Buca D'Oro is one of our favorite restaurants in Philly. It's Italian fare is "light" as opposed to the heavier Italian dishes that are commonplace throughout the city. From Appetizers to Entrees to Deserts, the dishes are delicious. Wines are also very good and reasonably priced.“

“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“

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

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“It was a new place, so we decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and sandwiches were so good. I got The Guido and tried a bite of my mom's Nonna's Special. The fact the ingredients are fresh certainly helps. I'll definitely order from here again. I dug their vanilla cream soda as well.“

“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.“

“Six of us had dinner and we all enjoyed our meals. Four of us had one of the specials which consisted of crab and lobster ravioli with grilled shrimp. Delicious! Veal parm and a fish dish rounded out our meals. Nice portions and service was great. We have eaten here multiple times and intend to head back.“

“Always amazing! Pasta prepared to perfection! Perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion or family dinner. They continue to evolve with special additions to their classic menu. Service is alway top notch.“

“Great dinner and wonderful service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely the Best in the City! This restaurant truly stands out. The food is nothing short of incredible—every dish is packed with flavor. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for any occasion. On top of that, the service is exemplary—friendly, attentive, and professional“

“TreVi is simply fantastic. Whether dining in or ordering take out, the food and service has always been great. Recently, they started making their own wine which is very good at an incredible affordable price. My wife, son, and daughter also love the food.“

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

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

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

“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.“
