50 Best Italian Restaurants near Penns Grove

“We went for my son's birthday celebration. I got the Surf and Turf special. I wasn't asked for my salad selection so I was disappointed when one was chosen for me. I made it clear on the reservation that we were going to celebrate my son's birthday. I also told the waiter why we were there. I was confused when he brought out my dessert with a candle and wished my son a happy birthday. I thought they would provide him with a small piece of cake or something to congratulate him. It was awkward.“

“Love Roman pantry so much. We order regularly and once or twice a year I do a large (16ish) breakfast sandwich order for my teacher coworkers. It is phenomenal every time and everyone always loves it. Thank you guys!“

“My guys have the best pizza and cheese fries!!!! Board walk pizza is the best. When working I will run and grab a slice or 2 of their pizza always great!!!! Remember they are always busy, so deliver may take longer but worth the wait. And if you don’t believe me walk and see how many orders are going out the door!!!!“

“Scalessa's gave me 2 great things. The first was the happy flashback of eating at Priori's at home. The secons was that Scalessa's food was out of this world. I had the Four Cheese Gnocchi which bards would write poems about. I cannot say enough about the awesomeness of this fine establishment! I will definitely come back when I visit my sister again.👍“

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“

“Italian kitchen is a great one stop shop for all your catering orders. I showed up to pick up the sandwiches for our church lunch and I had put the wrong date on the order!!! They were able to accommodate me and worked like crazy to get it done. The cake I ordered was superb!!! If it had not been for the kindness of this store today, I don’t know what I would have done. The cashier, God Bless you. You went above and beyond to fix my mistake. Love you all!!!“

“BEST WATER ICE IN DELAWARE and Pizza Perfect!!! We love you Bernie...The Wise Family💕“

“On our way back from doing a last-minute Estimate We had the absolute privilege of being broken down in front of their restaurant! The owner and staff both asked if we needed anything and offered beverages! Very very welcoming establishment, staff, owner! So amazing to be treated so nicely even though we were an inconvenience to parking! Thank you again for your kindness! Mike, Raniyah!“

“Great experience, excellent food, and the staff were very friendly. The owner also spent a few minutes speaking to us. A really nice guy. Awesome all the way around!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The owners are really nice and serve all of the food themselves.

The bread is great and the sauce was really flavorful. The arrancini balls were good.

The pasta was a bit dense and the gnocchi had a slightly weird taste to it.

The carpet makes the restaurant feel very mildewey and has a smell to it.“

“Outstanding foor and service. Unique menu that is full of delicious surprises. Not one thing disappointed.“

“I have been going there from the age of 3 or 2 ye,s Old..."PNM thanks. I miss the food. I live in the middle west now.“

“Food was absolutely delicious ? & Rosemary our waitress very nice and helpful. My honey took me here for a date. We love to experience new spots and I love byob“

“Lobster ravioli with blush sauce was amazing. Calamari was very good!“

“First time back since last months fiasco. Today was a 100% improvement. We had Will today and he made it an enjoyable experience. Salad was fresh and entrees were great. Thank you Will for restoring our faith. Even had dessert.“

“Ordered the lamb shanks with risotto and the pasta with mussels, clams, shrimp and calimari. The food was phenomenal, well seasoned and packed with flavor. One thing kept this from being a 5 star review....the bread. I wanted to sop up all of that delicious seafood broth but the bread was not edible. Think Olive Garden breadsticks, but WAY worse. Chalky, flavorless, horrible texture. So bad that I told the server not to bring anyone else that bread for the rest of the evening.“

“Update: We have lived here nearly a year and this is still our go-to place. My oldest daughter is now vegan and they custom make her vegan breadsticks. Love these guys! We order from here usually once per week. Their plain pizza is classic. I think they put cinnamon in their crust—there is something special. It’s the only pizza that all of my kids like. Win! Oh, and the guy that answers the phone and does the register is always so nice! Highly recommend!“

“Just had a client dinner here and everything was AMAZING! Service, food, wine….. can’t wait to go back!“

“Food is all homemade and delicious. Sandwiches are very good filled with deliciousness service is right on and spotlessly clean“

“I had a wonderful dinner at Rocco’s! The crab spaghetti was absolutely delicious full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Our server, Kay, made the experience even better with her friendly, attentive, and welcoming service. She made sure we had everything we needed and truly went above and beyond. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Rocco’s, and if you get the chance, ask for Kay!“

“I enjoyed the food. Ordered a hoagie and Stromboli. Both were excellent. My son and I loved the sauce as it wasn’t sweet.“

“After 32 years out of NJ pizza has been disappointing. So now that I am in NJ for work until July, my quest is to eat 2 slices of cheese pizza at every place the locals recommend. Today, it's Joe's, and they did not disappoint!!! Highly recommend to any visitor and other locals. The test of good pizza is the point folds off the plate and it leaves a nice red oily stain on the paper plate...both were spot perfect...the crust was perfect, the cheese was gooey and flavor top notch. if I work in the area tomorrow, it's calzone or stromboli!!“

“have been going here for twenty years never had a bad sandwich or a bad interaction with anyone working for them. I have been home bound and on oxygen for three years now and the kindness the staff has shown when I call to order or the regular two drivers who always take the time to make sure I get my delivery knowing it takes me few minutes to make it to the door is nothing short of amazing. I had a concern today with my delivery and they as usual said will be handled. thanks for always putting your customers first thanks Merle McClintock“

“We visited last night. We were greeted right away. The service was so good. I had Shells Aurora. Simply amazing. Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.“

“I really enjoyed the grilled chicken salad because it had a lot of veggies and wasn't just lettuce. I also really enjoy getting the penne with meatballs in blush sauce because the dish is so full of flavor.“

“Please please bring back the burrata and soprasetta appetizer!! It was the best and so many patrons miss it!!“

“Best time to come is early morning or in afternoon. Not very busy then. Great food Also like 2 minutes to 95.“

“AWESOME EVERYTHING GUYS!!KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK!“

“If the Concord Mall is a dying husk of what it once was, Café Riviera is an oasis in the desert. We've been stopping in this little hidden gem for more than 20 years, but hadn't visited in a long while. Tonight we made a special trip, and were greatly relieved to find not only are they still open, but the food is still top notch. We were seated right away by friendly staff. Server was attentive and obliging. Our food took quite a while, but it was obviously made to order and totally worth the wait. There's not much our family of four can agree on, but we all came away happy. Amazing pizza, beautiful calzone, delicious garlic knots. Serving sizes were more than we could eat, plenty of leftovers to bring home. In a fast-changing world, it's nice to find some things exactly the way you remember them.“

“I love everything I ordered. I highly recommend Cafe Sitaly. Even when I have to wait, it's worth my time. It's Delicious 😋🤤“

“Mike B. was our waiter and we enjoyed his service. He was down to earth and he opened up to my table about some of his personal experiences. Mike also recommended some great places to see while we were in the region, since we were visiting for a double relative’s funeral. The sites he recommended really lifted everyone’s down disposition from our funerals. It was just what we needed. Thanks Mike, your service made our whole trip all the better. Because of you, when we think of our Delaware trip, we will have happy memories along with the sad ones. Your thoughtfulness and kindness touched us all, signed your table out of Virginia and Detroit, MI“

“So, so, so good. What a great little place with perfect service. All our meals were superb. Kudos to the chef and the staff at this gem of a restaurant!.“

“Amazing pizza ♡ friendly service♡ love this place!“

“The owners are very nice and the food is great!!!“

“The morning/afternoon crew is the greatest! They make the best pizza around. But if you order after 6pm not so good! Whoever makes the pizza then is afraid to use cheese!! Can you have the morning guy (probably the owner) teach the late day guy how to make pizza?!“

“Pizza was tasty and atmosphere was welcoming“

“This was a place recommended by a friend and it absolutely didn’t disappoint. It’s an independently owned business mostly breakfast and lunch specials. I truly wish people appreciated more family/independently owned businesses as they are the heart of a small community. I had some time before a car appointment and wanted something quick and easy before my appointment. This space is truly cafe sized. It’s small but the community vibe is so sweet and you can enjoy the folks you are with or even your own company. Miss Betty welcomed me and asked how I found them which was word of mouth and told me their specials for the day and I decided to get the Taste Budz special breakfast. I was really hungry from working the night before and didn’t eat at all. I left completely full and the food is made to order so it was hot and the portions were huge. When group of veterans and local fire company they asked me if I was gonna eat all the food I ordered 😆. I smiled and said “I sure am!”. When you walk in you seat yourself and they have tables and booths (more tables than booths). The coffee as strong but tasty. I throughly enjoyed my food and got out in time for my appointment. If you are ever in the town of Aston please check out this hidden gem💎! the people are so friendly and you guys got your selves a new customer especially after my long night shifts at the store!“

“one of our favorite places to stop...we moved to Philadelphia proper but still find this one of the best pizzas around“

“Everything we had was high quality, delicious, and very affordable. Started off with the Buffalo Chicken Tots for the table and they were devoured in seconds. We had the Philly Dog, a Chicken Cheesesteak, Triple Decker BLT, and the Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and we were all very happy with our sandwiches!“

“Yatz's is the BEST. Definitely in the top 3 of Delaware. The Ladies who create those delicious mouth watering subs are tremendously nice and very kind. The best part for me are the Tomatoes that Yatz's uses. I do not know where they get it from but when its laid on that turkey sub with a bag of chips and a cold one from their great juice selection....food ambiance at its finest. I usually pay for extra tomatoes!! Oh and the water ice in summertime, salud...“

“Place is better then your regular Primos! They really seem to all Care and seem like they put heart into each hoagie!“

“Thank you to Carlos & Pat’s Pizza for donating 15 pizzas to PS DuPont’s 8th grade formal! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!“

“I order from the catering menu often for work lunches and every single time, Ciconte’s delivers great food and amazing customer service! I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs! They provide everything you need! The prices are reasonable, the portions are huge and the food is delicious!“
