38 Best Italian Restaurants near Avondale

“Just face it most of the pizza in Pennsylvania is God awful. I am from New York so I know what I’m talking about. If you disagree with me it doesn’t matter because no matter what you are wrong. Bravo is ONE OF TWO places that I can honestly say the pizza is up to NY standards. The cheese is high quality
(Grande probably) and the pizza dough is spectacular. The guys behind the counter are so nice and bust their behinds so you can eat well. Show your appreciation for the good food and hard work Bravo provides. Love your pizza guys! Makes me feel like I’m home! Thanks so much!!

“Great pizza with eggplant! As I was leaving I saw a display of arancini (rice balls filled with meat and cheese) which I added to my order. They were excellent, highly recommend them! I will ask Luigi to make a few more of these!!“

“Excellent food and wine!! Kind to identify which items could be made GF. Nice atmosphere. Best Chicken Marsala I’ve had in a long time. Quiet booth in the back. An enjoyable evening with my favorite person! Thank you @Cafe Napoli! All the best! —just passing through, but pleased“

“Thank you obviously for a great meal but also for the special accommodations you made for my mom. You all made her feel more than welcome! Thank you. Margaret Woodock xo“

“Floga Bistro is a hidden gem tucked in a shopping center in Kennett Square. Our party of four enjoyed dinner there prior to a visit to Longwood Gardens which is only 2 miles away. The food was delicious and servings were substantial. The warm rolls were mouthwatering. Our server was personable and competent. Overall, it was a 5 star experience. We are already planning a return visit on our next trip to Longwood Gardens.“

“The manager was extremely kind and helpful. We arrived very late and the kitchen was closed but he offered us a few pizza options and we were more than grateful!! Pizza was delicious and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu and really appreciate how customer friendly everyone was.“

“Awesome as always ♥️ Awesome as Always 💚“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Gnocchi were delicious. Next time there I'm getting something with meatballs. Friend gave me a bite of her's and it was perfect.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. We had a party of 7 and everyone loved it. We'll be back!“

“Tonight’s visit was very nice. Our server made our meal enjoyable. Prompt, professional and she enjoyed our cheese jokes. Thank you for a wonderful dinner“

“I have been here once before, and mostly just get takeout now.
But they have great workers, great food. And reasonable prices!

It's got a small town feel to it, and can house more people than it looks! Always remember there is parking out back, or else you would be confused about the little street parking!“

“We ate here during a glamping trip. We ordered a cheesesteak sandwich, eggplant parmesan hoagie and french fries. We were not expecting much because it looked like any other pizza joint but what we got was very good. It’s very hard to get a good eggplant parmesan anywhere these days but we took a chance. Usually it’s made with frozen breaded eggplant patties. Which doesn’t make sense because you already have the hoagie roll. This eggplant was not breaded. Don’t know if it was prepared ahead of time but honestly pretty darn good. The cheesesteak was very good. It was prepared fresh to order. The steak was tender. The bread for the hoagie was crisp and fresh. The cheese and sauce was of a good quality. The french fries were made to order and very crispy. The staff were friendly. The place was clean.“

“Excellent service and delicious food at reasonable price for the quality.“

“Have been going to the owner's restaurants for years now. I've always been pleased with the food. My favorite to get is the crab bisque soup with an Italian hoagie. My mouth is watering just thinking of it.“

“We ate here last night, we had the best food and the best waiter! It was a treat all around!“

“We have loved enjoying the delicious food at Cafe Valentina. We have been coming here for more 15 years. We feel like we are dining at one of the finest restaurants in Italy. We were missing Fortuna and Giuseppe for the past six months but finally tonight we had the pleasure to see them at the restaurant. Everyone should come here and enjoy their delicious food. It is real Italian food and they have good prices.“

“Our group had a wonderful late evening meal at Caffé Gelato, and it continues to impress with every visit. Parking is conveniently located right outside the door—a rare and much-appreciated feature in Newark, DE. The food is authentically Italian, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. What truly stands out—aside from the attentive (yet never intrusive) service—is the care that owner took into designing the dining space. Even though tables are only a few feet apart, there's an unexpected sense of intimacy and privacy that allows for meaningful conversation without concern of being overheard. It's a perfect setting for enjoying a relaxed meal with friends or loved ones. Dining here always feels like a family meal, elevated by expert preparation—and best of all, someone else handles the cleanup! One of our traditions is taking desserts to go and enjoying them at home with a cup of coffee. Since their desserts come with gelato, the waiter thoughtfully brought the gelato to the table so we could savor it fresh, while packing the rest to enjoy later. It's this kind of personalized, considerate touch that makes Caffé Gelato a truly special place and a favorite destination we'll continue to return to—and recommend to others.“

“Delicious caprese salad and prosciutto and spinach pizza! 🍕“

“Great place! Site of our first date, were back last night. Great experience at the bar, capped off by Patrick buying us dinner as an engagement gift. Thanks all, but especially Patrick!!“

“went last night as I got my birthday pak and they were one of the restaurants in the program. I got the Cobb salad and it was very good. I had never been there before and I will be back.“

“The gluten free pizza is delicious and safe for those with even the most gluten sensitivity! Highly recommend!“

“Going to Tony's is always a wonderful experience. The owners and staff are amazingly warm and friendly. And of course, the food is mouth watering delicious; the very best around.“

“❤️Oh my goodness! We’ve always loved Casa Italia. Their food is delicious, and their staff are very friendly and courteous. They are our go-to restaurant for ordering pizza and more. So when I saw a FB post asking about pizza place recommendations of course I said Casa Italia! 🙌🏻 🍕 Then tonight we placed a pizza order and what a sweet gift! Surprise Cannolis! 🌸If you haven’t ordered from Casa Italia yet, you’re missing out! Not only is their menu fantastic, but they truly care about their customers. We love Casa Italia!“

“Took grandkids to 896 Pie today after a swim in the pool. Great service and amazing pizza. Brent is the owner and he was so friendly and engaged with his customers. All the grandkids and two adults enjoyed the perfectly cooked pizza. Thanks for a great visit“

“My mother, daughter and myself went for breakfast this morning to celebrate my daughter’s 14th birthday before school. The food was fantastic, the service was amazing and they even decorated my daughter’s waffle and topped with a candle. We come here often for their pizza, sandwiches, and my daughter believes they have the best chicken fingers around.“

“We’ve been coming here for years but this is the first time I’ve been compelled to leave a review. We dined in last night (11/30/24). Our food was delicious, but our waiter, Nathan, was THE BEST. It’s so hard to find good help anymore, and he was a gem! I hope he stays around for a while!“

“It was really good thanks!“

“Good food. Love the chopped chef salad.“

“Love the team at Pasquales Pizza in Cochranville! Michael and Peter and the staff are so personable. It's like coming home to a family dinner without having to cook or clean up. The taste of the ole-country is here! If you haven't grabbed a pizza, a cheese steak, a cannoli, from Pasquales, you are missing out on a quintessential Chester County dining experience. Every night doesn't need to be a black-tie affair. Grab your date, and a pizza, and enjoy the best in local casual dining & take-out. The online ordering works pretty well too! <3 Tracey & Drew Cope <3“

“We get Brothers delivered and take out. The food and delivery is always good and prompt. On the occasions that I have dined in, the owner and staff have gone above and beyond to make sure my family had an enjoyable visit. An example of this happened when my daughter and I came in for dinner. They made us feel welcomed and treated us like royalty! Absolutely great place that makes you feel welcome. The pizza is great!“

“La Mia Restaurant has quickly become my absolute favorite place to order from in Mendenhall. The chopped salad with extra meat is honestly addictive—I’ve had it four days in a row and still can’t get enough. It’s perfectly balanced, super fresh, and packed with flavor.

The pizza is equally impressive—think classic New York-style with just the right amount of chew and crisp. I especially love that they let you choose how baked you want your crust—a small touch that makes a big difference.

On top of the great food, their delivery service is top-notch. My orders always arrive earlier than expected, and the young delivery staff are polite, conscientious, and clearly take pride in their work.

La Mia is consistently delicious, reliable, and a true local gem. Straight 5/5 stars. Highly recommend!“

“Best hoagies EVER“

“A little on the pricey side but all in all a good visit. Ordered the premade pizza (Chicken Alfredo/Cheese Steak). Not great. To be fair, it was end of night, regardless these should have been $1 slices on principle. Real Mozz Sticks, if you have read 1 of my many reviews this is a +. Marinara was tasty & had some seasoning. Cheeseburger Sub was heavy, toasted which was fine but the lettuce was ehhhh… The hot items were piping hot!!! The food was done in under 10 mins, the counter guy was good & … this is the first pizza place that gave me napkins. The little things count!!!“

“Enjoyed the chicken tenders which were perfectly prepared! Nice size portion with moist meat inside and a super delicious crispy coating on outside. Excellent choice. The spaghetti and meatballs is also an excellent meal and very large potion. Very tasty sauce and the meatballs are tasty and moist. Two excellent choices!“

“I ordered a build your own stromboli with 1 ingredient wrong and was mad at myself for forgetting the ingredient and settled for what I was getting. The manager said no I'll make you a new one I want you to be happy. I couldn't believe it it. When it arrived it was amazing so I highly recommend this seasons 5 stars“

“It's a college bar, and you get what you expect. Dirty floor and the atmosphere is clearly catered to 21 year olds. That being said, Grotto's wings are always solid and the grand slam sauce brings it home. The pizza is plain but is done so consistently you always know you can count on the taste and texture. Would definitely recommend if you want to go watch a game and enjoy some quick food.“

“I love their food, but unfortunately yesterday I ordered a spinach quesadilla with sour cream. It came as a wheat wrap, which I didn’t want, and no sour cream. But unfortunately, there was a long hair in my quesadilla. I don’t know if I’ll be getting a quesadilla anytime soon“
