Food & Service were AMAZING!!! Everything we had was delicious. The servers were so kind and attentive. This was our second time eating here and we will definitely be back!
Kid-friendliness: The servers went out of their way to make our 6yo feel comfortable.

I love this restaurant…. It takes me back to our family’s time living in Italy…. Exceptional example of an Italian family trattoria.

My Mother, Aunts and I recently had dinner here for my one Aunt's birthday and the food and service were fabulous! Pino was so attentive and thoughtful in offering wine, explaining the specials, bringing complimentary bruschetta and giving my Aunt a piece of birthday cheesecake! He even joined in singing happy birthday with us, which was so sweet! If you get the chance to eat here, I highly recommend it!! ??

One of the worst “Italian” meals I’ve ever had. We ordered takeout: penne alla vodka, chicken parm, caesar salad, and a tiramisu. These are all simple, classic dishes that should be second nature to any Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was flavorless- lacking salt, pepper, herbs, and any sense of character. While the pasta was well-cooked and the chicken parm sauce was tasty, the rest of the meal was utterly bland. The salad was mushy. The tiramisu tasted like it was made with box mix and was served in a puddle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup. The total bill was $58 and would have been more if we didn’t opt for the “2 person dinner special”. I’ve had better pasta and chicken on an airplane. I love Italian food- cooking it, eating it, learning about it- and I wish Fellini the best and hope that they improve in the future. The one bright spot was that the gentleman who answered the phone was lovely. He’s the reason I’m giving two stars rather than one.

I realize I called at 8PM (they close at 9) on a Friday night for pick up… However, to receive water logged fettuccine and sauce that is incorrect is unnecessary especially for a $28 plate.

TL;DR — It’s a shame that this place is directly next to that Americanized italian place… the minimalist ambiance threw us off and we ultimately chose Fellini for its warmth. And thank god - every single moment was worth it.
Quite literally the ONLY authentic Italian place on the main line/lower merion/delco area. I’m talking truly Italian where you’ll be addressed as senora, the owner is taking orders, and everything is resemblant of hole in the wall family places in the heart of Tuscany. The owner welcomed my family in and immediately offered a complimentary glass of wine. I’m not even a big red wine fan, but it was fantastic.
Ordered: Arugula salad, homemade lasagna, the capellini alla fruitti mare, fettuccine alfredo, and the penne alla vodka. even though the alfredo and vodka are American dishes, they put in authentic Italian methods. It’s not just cheese or vodka sauce. It’s in the details. The owner immediately offered a complimentary appetizer, the bruschetta, along with what we ordered. We will definitely be ordering it next time.
Everything came out in record time; I think I’ve waited longer for a cocktail at a bar. The owner communicated so clearly and promptly to us, including the kids, how long the food would be often. And honestly, it was maybe 10-15 minutes after the appetizer. So fast! My brother also spoke Italian so they conversed!
To end it on a high note, he offered the adults a complimentary *homemade* coffee liqueur. Better than anything you’ve tried. And I’ve driven the length of Italy - it’s comparable!
Do yourself a favor and get everything on the menu.
Oh! And the prices? Fair and worth it. The bill made me want to hug him. Tip them well.
