“Everything about my daughter’s bridal shower was perfect! The venue looked beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was excellent- so nice and friendly. Our guests were impressed with the venue and I’m sure they will recommend it to others, as will I. Thank you to Jackie and all the staff for making our experience exceptional.“

“I like the cheesesteaks. I'm not a fan of the pizza but I do enjoy the cheese steaks. And so does my husband. I'm a picky cheesesteak eater I don't like the meat to be stretchy as I'm trying to bite into it and I dont like when the bread is wet from the grease their cheesesteaks are good! My daughter enjoyed the mozzarella sticks.“

“First time going earlier. Ordered 3 cheesesteaks after seeing images on another page. These cheesesteaks are super heavy and packed with so much flavor. Of course on a seeded roll. This place has hit my top 5 and will be going back to try other things in the menu. Super well worth it and not as pricy as other places as well. Highly highly recommend this restaurant!!!!“

“Came here for my daughter's 2nd birthday with family. I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate 20 people on a Saturday! Very welcoming even called ahead when we were on our way to have a couple of pizzas ready when we got there! Great food. Great staff. Also off street parking and not in Camden were important to us when choosing a lunch spot after the Aquarium. Will return next time we're in the area.“

“It was the cutest little pizzeria. The tables all had tablecloths on them and flowers that were fresh. The waitresses were attentive, and the food came out so quickly. The food was amazing and the portions were huge. I can’t wait to go back and try all the different varieties of pizza. The kids love that they had hot bread and marinara sauce while we were waiting for food.“

“Pasta lovers, you have to try Pasta Trio Thursdays at LaScala’s 😍 Three pastas, one plate, all incredible. Perfect way to kick off the weekend early! #LaScalas #PastaNight #Thursdate“

“You can't beat the 2 slices and a can of soda for 5 bucks for that quick bite on the go. The cheese steaks are tasty and my grandson likes the pizza, great for game night.“

“atmosphere, service, food-all incredible. Heck I ate here when I was visiting Philly and the meal was so inspiring I moved here. None of this fake trained service, no obnoxiously complicated explanations of the chef or the food, just genuinely kind people serving genuinely good food that doesn’t hide behind any smoke and mirrors. If you haven’t had an amazing time here it’s probably cause you’re not much fun to begin with. Get here, order one of everything, enjoy it, you’ll fall in love.“

“Great restaurant - highly recommended“

“Worth the wait. This was our last Philly Michelin m-starred restaurant to try. It’s the absolute best. The food was extraordinary and I’m already dreaming of my next meal there. My particular favorites included the buckwheat tart with morels and both pasta courses (one was an add on). Sadly I will now never feel satiated unless I’m eating Chef Schulman’s triangoli. A beautiful and intimate space with incredible care by the entire staff. Amanda Schulman was incredibly welcoming and engaged with the diners. Wine pairing was outstanding as was my Negroni made with Bruto Americano. The marzipan rhubarb cake was the stuff dreams are made of. So, so, so happy after this meal. Did I mention? Attentive and wonderful, wonderful staff. Thank you for an amazing evening!“

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!!“

“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.“

“Awesome experience! Great food! Excellent service!“

“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!!“

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.“

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.

Super cute place with different food items for sale as well as a gelato counter.

But yeah if you live in Philly, let your coffee ☕ here!“

“I’ve heard about Fiorino for so long, especially from someone who lives in Florida! I finally went and it was all they said it would be! Absolutely delicious! I asked our server what entree I should get because I couldn’t decide between 2 of them that I wanted. He said “No problem! I’ll bring you a half portion of each!” WHO does that in today’s world?! So absolutely kind and cool. I loved every single thing I had there and can’t wait to go back!“

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

“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.“

“Phenomenal service and a great atmosphere. Everyone was friendly (and tolerant of our louder than usual crowd). We got the family style menu which was a great bang for your buck. My only issue was the crab gnocchi had a surprising number of shell pieces. Otherwise an amazing meal and very happy to have dined here.“

“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.“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“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.“

“Exceptional food, staff is incredibly friendly. Paesano's hosted a private event, the results were spectacular. A very welcoming environment. Pete, the chef, accomdated allergies, took the time to talk a bit about the courses. I will definitely be back to Paesano's.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“
