“Great pizza and a great location with a really unique pickup window. Highly recommend the panzerottiParking: Plenty of parking in the lot and adjacent lots nearby, but a little tricky to come in behind the side street, luckily there's a sign to point it out“
“Went here with friends and had a great time. Loved the Korean gochujang wings. They were so crispy and the texture was great; not to mention the sauce is addictive. I got the smash burger and added long hots—it was delicious! Their fries are also super crispy. The cocktails were also very good. I can’t wait to come back.Vegetarian options: The menu is all vegan. So happy to have a place with so many options. We also met some non-vegans there who were also trying them for the first time and they loved it.“
“Terrific dinner! We had the burrata appetizer and the beet salad to start, cacio e pepe ravioli, rigatoni parmagiana, seafood gnocchi, and chicken Milanese. All were delicious and well-executed. Ricotta cake, orange sorbet and a cannoli for dessert, also delicious. Service was attentive and great.“
“10/10, we got there 15 minutes late due to heavy rain, no problem at all! My babe booked the 5 course meal in a private wine cellar (it’s only 1 down the basement) very romantic w/rose petals and candle lights, I’m vegan and the chef really threw it down in the kitchen just for me :-) very happy about that, you have to pay in advance and beverages aren’t included, will definitely go back.“
“The service was excellent. The food was also good, we enjoyed the tasting menu which had some surprising dishes such as the carrot & egg custard. The bread and nduja was also a nice addition. However, we spent over $800 between the two of us with tips included (with the tasting menu priced at $215) which I think is way too overpriced. The wines especially are overpriced, for 150pp I would expect more upscale wines than what was on offered. We ended up going with a Barolo instead which was more reasonable but still $170 for a bottle. For these prices, I would expect Michelin 1 or 2 star quality food, which it wasn't (as nice as our meal was). That said, the service was really good with our waiter being extremely attentive and considerate.“
“Headed to South Philly on a Friday evening to try out Saloon and had a fantastic experience. The dinner in every area was above and beyond, from the atmosphere, to service, to options, and food. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service was excellent throughout. Prices are high, but we left with enough food for 2 more meals in leftovers so I felt less concerned about the cost. Highly, highly recommend.“
“The space is small. Very small. A dozen or so stools along the bar and 4 or 5 other 2 tops along the wall. They also have a few outside seats.Drinks were good, unique and flavorful without “shock factor”Everything was cooked perfectly. Firm but great texture. My wife and I split each item and were both full at the end. Serving size of these classics were generous.ESCARGOT ARANCINI. Two golden round balls of love. Perfect crispness on the outside and smooth savory center. The saltiness of the sauce really brings it together. One of the best Arancini I’ve had.RIGATONI - forella sausage raguSpicy (but not in your face) and savory. Great texture and smoothness to the sauce.TONNARELLI -cacio e pepeReally good. The pepper is flavorful without being intense.The focaccia is a must to sop up all the extra sauce!“
“The food was excellent and the service was good. We went for an event and I just don't think this space was right for it. We also ended up at their 2nd location by accident and ended up crashing another private party. It was overall a nice time and we enjoyed the food, just wish there was more space to enjoy it in.“
“Great Italian spot in center city. One of the best Caesar salads around because of the polenta croutons. The short rib pasta is one of the best options on the menu. The spaghetti and meatballs is massive so be prepared. Portion sizes for the entrees are generous.“
“The chicken was so tender and delicious that I really wanted 3 more helpings but went for the amazing butterscotch pudding dessert! The Brussel sprouts were crispy and deliciously tossed in balsamic vinegar reduction. The pasta was served perfectly al dente which ever sauce you chose. The pomodoro sauce was just superb! It was just a little tight but otherwise the atmosphere was great as was the staff!!Parking: Best to park in the lot just off of 3rd and Bainbridge as trying to find a spot on the street is near impossible. The lot was convenient and close by, less than a block away. $15 for as long as you want on Saturday or Sunday or weeknight after 5pm. Worth it for the impeccable cuisine!!“
“My wife and I dined at Osteria for a special occasion and the experience did not disappoint. From the moment we entered the door to the end of our meal we felt welcome and cared for. Our meals were exquisite. This is easily my favorite restaurant in the city now. Bravo to the Osteria team, Chef, and the host Kyle. We’ll definitely be back!“
“We were there Saturday night and loved the ambience and hospitality. We ordered appetizers, entrees and dessert and I loved their entree and dessert. I and my husband are vegetarian and they were able to suggest us few options with no meat. Linguine Fra Diavolo and Vegan Orecchiette Pasta were so yummy. We tried tiramisu and dessert of the day (something with Pistachio) both were amazing. They even have opera performances every 20-30 minutes.Vegetarian options: Server was well aware of what dishes can be made vegetarian and vegan options are clearly specified on the menu“
“Had “The Paesano” from Paesano’s in Philly yesterday. This is in the Italian market area of South Philly which I love (aside from finding parking) and the people who worked here were all super friendly and helpful.I posted a picture with the ingredients for this one. This had a flavor that I’ve maybe never tasted before all wrapped in one. I enjoyed how it all played off each other (I could eat pepperoncini on anything and be happy too) and the roll was wonderful.Unfortunately I will say that the brisket was a bit tough, which surprised me. I believe it was cut on the wrong angle but there were multiple bites where I really had to tear at it. Had this brisket been as tender as it should have, I’d put this sandwich up against most sandwiches in the city…and I mean that. Put a properly trimmed and roasted brisket on this one and it’s up there with the best roast pork’s and cheesesteaks around imoDefinitely Didn’t Suck, but did leave room for improvement for sure.Check out video and more content on this spot and many others on my social media pages here - https://linktr.ee/Didnt_Suck“
“Great Italian Hoagie spot in the heart of the neighborhood. The Chicken Cutlet is the real deal. They have just enough crunch to it on a worthy Philly hoagie roll. The people here- including owner- are warm and responsive dishin’ out these beauties. Pricing quite reasonable.Thank you guys for breathing fire into an area that needed a for-real hoagie spot.Now easily on the rotation.“
“True old world Italian cooking artistry. Opened in 1899 Dante and Luigi's is one of the oldest restaurants in Philadelphia PA. It is certainly the oldest Italian eatery in Philly. Cozy with well dressed wait staff and old world decor. The food tells the story here. I have eating there since college. I took my dates there when I was 18. I go for the food. Delicious is the keyword. Savory tomato sauces, tender meats and exquisite desserts if you have the room after eating your meal. On my recent visit I had pasta fagoli and a side of roasted peppers and provolone to start and their homemade lasagna for the main course. Everything was scrumptious. Even though I was bordering on I can't eat another bite I had the tiramisu for dessert. I couldn't resist. Dante and Luigi is easily my favorite Italian restaurant and a cut about the rest.“
“Excellent!! White mussels, hot sausage, dinner included salmon, pasta in a delicious and delicate white sauce, lamb, and a pasta in a rich red sauce! Consistently perfect! Don't miss Verona! order anything on the menu and you'll leave completely satisfied. We ended with cannoli and an angel layer cake made with milk and so light and perfect!“
“Great food & drinks! My boyfriend loves That Nicholas Cage. Like coming here for a late night, fancy stop. It’s very small & cozy. Bartenders are cool. Definitely on the pricey side (food that is). The cigarettes are a cool touch. Although I don’t smoke, “
“Ever since the new owners took over this place, the level of detail throughout the experience has really exceeded expectations. Every single pizza slice I've ordered here has been exceptional, their staff incredibly friendly and accommodating and I just can't think of a better pizza place in the area that offers this level of service. I highly recommend this place for any occasion!“
“The pizza is really good. I like the flavor of the pizza and the chicken tenders. The garlic knots are fresh and they taste just as good if you eat it the next day. The staff is friendly and ordering online is easy and quick. I would recommend this place.“
“Took the family here for a birthday dinner gathering. It was very good and we throughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great, the food was amazing and the waiter & staff were terrific! First time visiting and they didn't disappoint at all food was absolutely wonderful well prepared hot and fresh! A very good experience and I would definitely recommend“
“A very fun and unique experience. This members only club has a speakeasy style for access. Everything we had there was top notch. Highlights for me: the lamb chop, the gnocchi, crab pasta and the espresso martini which had 24 hr churned brown butter somehow infused into it. If you know someone with a membership, you should really try to go.“
“We had a delicious meal here! Highlights were focaccia with whipped ricotta, the squash pasta (forget the fancy namebut it’s the interesting shaped one below), and the chocolate mousse cake. Service was great too! We were originally slotted to have an outdoor table but they were able to squeeze us indoors. Would definitely come back.“
“It's been a long time since I've been to Sapori and definitely regretting not coming back sooner. The food was outstanding, from the bread and olive oil, to the fresh calamari, main, and dessert. Everything was great in terms of service and the waiter was attentive and charismatic. Heated patio was excellent and everything was reasonably priced. Will definitely be back soon.“
“One of my favorite places in Philadelphia!Member’s only, been a member since they reopened.Superb cocktails! Amazing dishes, great food. Menu changes often enough and they do specials throughout the year for events. Top tier experiences there always.Wonderful staff and an intimate space.Don’t have any favorites to share as things change enough that what I post about might not be on menu next time.“
“GO TO ELMA! Seriously I cannot say enough great things about this place. My wife and I went for her birthday last August and had such an amazing time that we decided to go again for my birthday this week. Both services were truly outstanding. The seatings are so intimate and personal that it literally feels like Chef James and his team are cooking for you in their own home. They go above and beyond in their service and the quality and creativity of the food. You can taste just how much passion there is in this tiny little spot. But the real standout for us is that they will make modifications based on dietary restrictions. My wife is pescatarian, and so we are often at the mercy of restaurants with this format. But Chef James not only caters to her needs, he specifically crafts incredible dishes exclusively for her. If we could afford it, we’d eat here every month. Seriously, GO TO ELMA!“
“It didn’t taste the same as how they used to taste to me. It’s been a few years since I’d been there. It was missing something. I remember the hoagies being so so good. I don’t know. But it just wasn’t mouth watering like I remember. Service was great. They were nice and friendly. But I’m not giving up that easily. I’ll be back and try them again.“
“Literally if you live anywhere near fish town Come here !!! My fiancé and I got the meatballs and ricotta for an app AMAZING tasted like moms meatballs .. we ordered and spilt the tagliatelle with filet and truffles OH MY GOD ! My taste buds are SCREAMING I am 100% Italian and know flavors but this right here MANNNNN best thing I’ve eaten in a long long time ! Bartenders are so attentive and the atmosphere is awesome !!! Check this place out yalllll amazing“
“The best restaurant in all of Philly. From the exceptional service to the to-die-for food, this place is a hidden gem that you need to experience The vibe is authentic, and the drinks are delicious. Just make sure you save room because you won't want to miss out on their desserts!“
“My brothers rehearsal dinner was here. Anthony was amazing to work with. The food was fantastic, service was amazing, and everyone had a fabulous time. The room looked so classy and elegant when decorated and set up. Would highly recommend for any event and we cannot wait to return!“
“The owners are the nicest people around and also provide a level of service that is unmatched. Oh and the gelato is the best my family has ever tasted In our lives and we don't have to go to Italy for it. Thank you dolce vita, you have customers for life.“
“Food was amazing! We almost didn't come here because they didn't have many reviews but we are so glad we did. Food was exceptional and the service was fantastic . We started with the beet salad and octopus, shared the branzino and finished with the tiramisu. We can't wait to come back!“
“From someone who loves Wawa hoagies, let me tell you, I have been wasting my money!The Super Mario hoagie at Mario's Original Deli is one of THE BEST hoagies i have ever eaten in my life!! I love hoagies too!! (My buddy got the Roast Beef, and he loved his as much)–They even accept EBT cards, so you can get any cold hoagie put on your EBT card!!–The Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent! Delicious hoagies, top of the line meats and cheeses, soft tasty rolls. I used to work in a deli, so i know. My new hoagie spot!–The Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent! Friendly, in and out quickly, reasonably priced!–The Atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Its a South Jersey Hoagie shop and Deli, disguised as a South Jersey Hoagie shop and Deli! Its a nice clean deli with good food reasonably priced. What else do you want!?–This isn't an advertisement. Come here, grab some food for the family, and you will not only have a new hoagie spot, you will have a hoagie night every week from here.–UNFORTUNATELY, i didn't take any pictures!! I was starving, and my Super Mario was Bangin! I will remember to snap some pics next time.Dietary restrictions: I don't know exactly how "Healthy" a hoagie is, but they got top quality meats and cheeses. Not that waxy, glossy, processed stuff. Real Meat, and Real Cheese. And then they got fresh rolls! Everything else is up to you, and what you like. You can hold the oil and mayo, or whatever. You can order a pretty healthy, conscious sandwich if thats what you want.Parking: There's a side lot, a big back lot, and a side street right there you can pull up to. If you're handicapped, you can park, but there are steps to go in the store. The people were so nice, i bet if you ordered, and pulled up, they would bring it out to you, so don't let that stop you from coming here.“
“Wonderful first experience at Albertino's for a birthday celebration. All of the food was delicious and the staff were warm, friendly, and helpful. We went on a Wednesday, so we got to experience the Cacio e Pepe (cheese wheel), but there's plenty of entrees to enjoy. Portion sizes are pretty good and we felt all the plates were well worth the price.The space is small and a little tight, but it didn't take anything away from the experience. We were there when the restaurant was packed, but we felt like we could still hear one another and have great conversation without shouting over people around us.“
“We had a great experience at Tulip! I want to come back every time they rotate the menu to try the new dishes. Our waitress told us about the family style option (forget exactly what it was called but it was $55 per person), so we went with that so that we could taste a bunch of dishes. Best gnocchi I’ve ever had. And the food didn’t feel heavy, which was nice. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs, who were not only skilled, but also kind, which made the whole experience even more special. Thank you!“
“We had a reservation and ended up waiting for more than 30 min to get our seats. The food was good; typical Italian. We ended up waiting again for the food once we were seated with the whole endeavor taking several hours.The underground vibe is very cool and it seems to be run by a family ☺️ just maybe needs more staff on Saturday nights.“
“One of the only original real Italian food, and people. I'm part Sicilian. I love it. The other 100% Italian pizza place is Riccardo's in Beverly city, NJ. Highley recommend. If not I will reimburse you. For either place. They definitely need to deliver.Parking: There is about 500 spots to park, and for pick up you can park out front.Kid-friendliness: Bring them all john will make them laugh.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at the door, low bumb at the door and plenty room to wheel around.“
“I ordered a plain cheese pizza for take out on a Sunday afternoon. I had to wait 25 minutes but it was worth it. Like most places in the city, parking options are very limited. When I walked in to their shop I saw several happy customers eating away, enjoying their food. The place seats about 20 people. Nice low key , no frills, South Philly Italian pizza parlor vibe with very good food. It beats standing in line at Angelo’s.“
“Food is really good I got the fettuccine Alfredo, I got a small pizza half pep that they forgot to deliver with door dash. And a cake … my dasher went out of his way to go all the way back to the store which he didn’t have to do. But a hour later we received the pizza cold as ever but it was still good. I just wish the pizza store would have cooked us a fresh pizza since they forgot to give it to the dasher. But other then that I will be back in person for more food“
“We ate here while staying at the Mint for a birthday. We had a good time and the food was good but felt that it was a little over priced (i.e. $42 for an eggplant parm dish and over $100/person without alcohol). Staff was friendly but felt maybe a little under experienced/trained. Timing between courses was a little off (very long between one and then others right away). Cleanliness was perfect but noticed a lot of chipped dishes. Atmosphere was cozy with very comfortable seats. Overall we're glad we experienced it, would recommend to others but may/may not return.“
“best hoagie place in fishtown/nolibs. Liberty kitchen is a museum of millennial cringe and they charge double what castellinos does for a product that is half as good. This place rules and honestly nothing in the entire city compares, the cheesesteak at Angelo’s and the roast pork at John’s dont hold a candle to the Franklin or the aunt Lucy“
“Ordered a large pizza through Slice app. Pizza was ready on time and staff were friendly. The best part was the pizza tasted quite good. I am fairly picky when it comes to pizza. The crust had a nice crunch, sauce was tasty and the cheese was quality. Had a slice before I got home because it smelled fantastic.“

“Best vegetarian cheesesteak ever! Got the Cajun portabella with onions, peppers and cheese. Phenomenal!!!Vegetarian options: The portabella section can be done with only mushrooms, no meat! Cook cleaned the grill and used separate utensils to maintain a vegetarian area, lovely!!!“
“Stella has made me happy with its excellent employees, taste and visuality. We ate pizza, pasta and dessert. The place is beautiful from the decorative acid. There is a pizza oven that you can watch in your case. The employees are cute. The only point I stuck on was that the girl standing at the head of the oven did not put a cap on her hair. Especially, it can be ensured that an employer in the eyes of Boyle pays a little more attention and does not have the mind of the customer. The customer quality is very good. Also, the waiters and the employees who stand for the door to meet are also very respectful.“
“Visiting Philadelphia over Easter. Ended up at Prunella Sunday afternoon. The Honey Fitzgerald cocktail was amazing! Ordered the Caesar salad which was a great surprise to the tastebuds, and the pizza was just so damn delicious. The service and atmosphere was perfect. Had dinner the previous evening at The Capital Grille, but I enjoyed Prunella for the casual feel and experience we had. Prunella will be first on my list when visiting Philadelphia next. I just loved everything about it!“
“If I could give ten stars, I would. This is some of the best food in town. You really can’t do much better. The menu is innovative and fuses deliciousness from different cultures. It is always fresh. It’s also consistent. The chefs there (yea they are chefs, not cooks) also help reduce food waste by making their own soup stocks. Have you tried the birria Raman? That consommé is liquid gold. It’s heady and dense. The soup alone is a meal.May I also add that the people who work there are solid individuals that genuinely love to cook and create.Please eat here.Kid-friendliness: All people welcomed here. All ages too!“
“I occasionally deliver mail along this stretch of town and when I do this is where I stop for lunch. I've lived in Philly for over thirty years now and I've had my fair share of cheesesteaks. This place has one of the best I've ever had. I know it surprised me too! I recently strayed and ordered mama's lasagne and mama knows exactly what she's doing. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite. There are daily soups, homemade Spanakopita and all the other regulars. Pizza, sandwiches, burgers and breakfast! Enjoy“
“Siena is a terrific neighborhood Italian restaurant that punches above its weight in terms of food and service given the reasonable prices.White tablecloth service that's exceedingly friendly, homemade pasta, terrific focaccia in the bread basket, entrees come with your choice of a beautifully-dressed salad or homemade soup. desserts are good, seafood is fresh, and you can bring your own bottle of wine!“
“A must go to in the Italian market in south Philly, as soon as you walk in you get hit with an aroma of so many good Italian foods to pick and choose from. The pasta is a must try can’t go wrong getting a few cuts and finding your personal “
“This is seriously terrific pizza. We've gotten pizza from here twice and it's been excellent both times--honestly don't quite understand how this place doesn't get more buzz. Also, it's apparently founded and owned by an SJU grad named Anthony Pizza??? C'mon, it's just too perfect.The green olives and broccoli rabe are an A+ combo“
“Chicken franchise and quatro fromage pizza.Pulling into Lorenzo's as a first-time customer i was not prepared for the food to be so delicious. The pasta fagioli soup i could have had on its own. Hands down best pasta fagioli i have had in years. Hands down will be back with more updates ?“
