“There were 6 of us @5:00 celebrating a 91st BIRTHDAY! The service from the time we sat down was warm, friendly and did not hesitate to answer all of our questions and bring whatever we requested. (butter, extra garlic, a different dressing, candle on the dessert) Most of us brought home part of our main course! Certainly give it a try if you've never been.“

“Awesome food, a great beer selection and my favorite Margarita Pizza!“

“We love this place! My only issue is that they consistently stop selling their hot sandwiches over an hour before they close. During the week, its been before 5 pm and I couldn't order a hot sandwich. I think they would get more customers at dinner time if they stayed open longer. Super frustrating.“

“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.“

“My family had a great experience there. Delicious cocktails and wine, wonderful food, and very attentive, professional, and friendly service. The servers were expert in the food and drinks they were offering and gave great recommendations. Our party of 5 tried very varied menu options and everyone loved their dishes. The cellar dining room feels like an old wine cellar (in a good way!) and was beautifully decorated for the holiday. For us, at this price point, it’s special occasion dining, but we will be back!“

“Spectacular food and ambiance! First time here last night - was for my dad’s 70th. The food was unbelievably fantastic! Erid (our server) was excellent and very attentive. The bartender Patrick made the most delicious espresso martinis I’ve had to so far anywhere. The chicken parm took up the entire plate and the chicken carbonara tasted other-worldly! The wine selection is excellent and it was just an overall excellent experience. I’m already jonesing to go back!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My all time favorite Philly restaurant! Delicious food, amazing service, and the best atmosphere in Fitler Square! 10/10!“

“We were able to take advantage of the $45 special. The caponata and bread were excellent as was the salad with walnuts and goat cheese. The fried calamari was cooked perfectly and the marinara sauce was delicious. My husband enjoyed the salmon and fiussile dish which was a very generous portion. Zuppe de pesce was chuck full of a good variety of seafood and a lot of spaghetti. The tiramisu was delicious. The gratis red wine was mediocre.“

“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!!“

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

“I absolutely love the selections and the quality of the food is fantastic. The atmosphere is pleasant and the table lay out is remarkable. To describe the service, it is super excellent and stupendous. I would definitely come back again and with that being said i would definitely recommend it not only as a family outing, but as a place for occasions like date nights, birthday parties, and wedding celebrations. For the service food and atmosphere, they get a 30/30. The wait staff are accommodating did a superb job and deserved a raise for their hard work dedication and results.“

“My family is from Northern Italy. My grandmother and great grandmother were the best cooks in the world. They would have loved the food at Dolce. My family was at home in Memphis making raviolas that same day my daughter and I were in Philadelphia. It was our first visit to your beautiful city. When we return someday, we will definitely be coming back there to eat. Thank you for a wonderful 70th birthday dinner. Mille grazie!“

“The nicest staff and owner. Always extremely friendly and love to make sure everyone is satisfied. My go to place for gift cards for teachers and coaches!“

“Food was fantastic! All of the wait staff was extremely attentive and very nice. We ordered their version of chicken parm, which was crispy and flavorful, the marinara was delicious! We also got the seafood pasta in a pink cream sauce which was also fantastic! BYOB which is always great and they also have a comprehensive drink menu!“

“Went to Adelina's five months ago the week they opened. It was a disappointing experience on multiple fronts and my review said as much. Last night was completely different and I thought it was important to say so. The service was attentive. The wine list was expanded and had more affordable options. But the star of the night was the food. Eggplant fritters were crispy outside and pillowy inside and came with a delicious complementary dipping sauce. A charcuterie board is not usually something that excites me. But the selections we tried were transportative. The pecorino tartufo with our Pinot noir were the perfect pair. The other meats and cheese we tried made every bite a party. Our entree selection was the lasagne, which we didn't realize was vegetarian. The dish completely won us over. Inventive and flavorful, the lasagne in not like something you've had before and is a must try! I'm so glad we came back and gave Adelina's another try. Cheers!“

“Best food and customer service in Delco, hands down. If you haven't tried Fourno and you live in Delco, you're missing out“
