50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bryn Mawr

“Nice place to enjoy a great dinner. BYOB“

“I want to change my original bad review. On 07/28/2023 we placed an order with Antonella’s Italian Kitchen thru Uber Eats for us to pick up. Antonella’s called us and said they did not have the food available and cannot complete the order. They were going on vacation. We agreed to their cancellation.However, Antonella charged us $32.86. We appealed to Uber but Uber said Antonella noted they began the order and we cancelled, when in fact they cancelled. However, my wife went into Antonella's and discussed the problem. He graciously refunded the mistake. We definitely plan to patronize Antonella's in the future!“

“One of our favorite restaurants on the main line! Perfect place for a special occasion or make it a weekly dinner spot.“

“While working in this industry…. What a pleasure to dine here. The service was amazing and food was delicious. You must have good leadership ❤️ THANK YOU!!!“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Great service and food! Very affordable“

“This place is definitely one of the top OG cheese steaks in the area. If not THE top.

I was born and raised in Bryn Mawr. I've since moved to VA, but visit family here 2-5x a year. Every time I come, I get a cheese steak from somewhere.

Most of the OG places have either changed their menu or quality, or are gone and have been replaced. The new places keep trying these "artisanal" breads and other stuff...

Just go here. Zesto's knows how to keep the tradition going.“

“First time ordering from here. The pizza, garlic knots, and wing dings were all very tasty. We asked for the pizza cooked well done and it was done just to our liking. The delivery was very fast and the driver was polite too. We will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing!! I would highly recommend the pickled seafood conserva, it comes with fresh baked bread and almond butter. It was to die for!!!! The pasta was unbelievable and so fresh!!! The best part of all was the impeccable service. It has been a long time since we have found a restaurant where not only the food is over the top but has the service staff to match. We will definitely be coming back!!!!!“

“Our server, Katiey was pleasant and took care of all of our needs. We had the rigatoni abruzzi and it was excellent along with the delicious bread. Even had enough to take home for next day. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!“

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.“

“Luna is a charming and intimate Italian BYOB that comes SO close to nailing it. I like coming here for a cozy and romantic date and am excited to continue doing so, and while many parts of the experience are wonderful there are definitely a few oddities that could bring the dinner down.

If I were only judging Luna on its pasta dishes, this would be the easiest 5-star review ever. Every dish has been richly flavorful, cozy, and just with enough intrigue to elevate it above basic more standard pasta dishes. There is a great variety of quality pasta dishes, from seafood to lamb and there's almost certainly at least one you'll be excited to order when you go. There are also rotating specials that the waiter will let the table know about, and we've had positive experiences there as well. We've only ever ordered off the "entrees" section once and it was solid enough, but my recommendation has to be for the pastas.

The appetizers and sides on the other hand are a bit of a mixed bag, to say the least. On the positive, the calamari app was exquisite with an incredibly flavorful and spicy/briny tomato sauce. On the other hand, the "roasted" beets were almost comical- they were slices of canned beets (uncooked) sprinkled with feta and drizzled with balsamic... I could have made that at home in maybe 30 seconds for the same result. We also ordered a side of asparagus which for $10 we would have hoped had had any salt or flavoring, but it was not impressive. I also have to comment on the hilarious free bread at the start of each meal. It's kind of just 8 bite size cubes of normal bread with some olive oil and it's odd enough and small enough to make me question why they bring it at all.

The interior is cute and cozy- it's a small and narrow space with elegant decorations and modern paintings that I think succeeds in curating a familiar and pleasant atmosphere while still remaining upscale and not pretentious. That said, it is a smaller space and as a result we have been sat uncomfortably close to other tables on multiple occasions. It's alright, but maybe something to be aware of if you are sensitive to having less personal space. The service is also kind of interesting- it's good enough, but a bit of an odd and small crew that doesn't feel quite as professional as nicer restaurants, but it's fine.

Overall, I do recommend Luna BYOB! Great pasta, cozy vibes, and it being a BYO is a big plus! Just be cautious with some of the apps and sides.“

“Burrata in Havertown never disappoints. Can’t go wrong with specials.“

“Great service, great food, great atmosphere!!!!!?“

“Amazing food! Start with the Caesar salad.“

“Driving from Broomall to Philadelphia. Finding Scoogis was kismet! Following my guy I pulled and thought “eh, why not”. Greeted my the gem of a human that is Sophia. Scoogis is everything you want in a dining experience. Great energy in the dining rooms, high-quality service, atmosphere, great menu, great desert. Scoogis feels like home and the staff and owners should be proud of what they have accomplished here. Will certainly be back for more. A truly special restaurant.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

The service by Tina and Alyssa at the event was exceptional. Tom worked with us to plan a day that we wanted. We would 100% recommend Pepperoncini for all of your catering needs. They took our event to the next level. The food is first-class all the way!“

“Warm and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. George I’ll assume the owner/manager, came out and chatted with us. Shared the history and that everything is made fresh like in your own kitchen and the pasta is mass daily. Very very perfectly seasoned and moist, everything ♥️ Thank you George. Max & Gary.“

“Had a terrific dinner on their Trattoria. Great food, fun“

“A charming spot with the warmest people with olde school Italian food that hits the mark. Buona Sera Havertown has a warm welcoming atmosphere, excellent staff and a great menu of everyone’s favorites. Since 2022, this throwback has been a favorite in town. The shrimp pastas was excellent But the hit was the Scaloppine Alla Cardinale veal scaloppine sauteed with white wine, prosciutto, mozzarella and topped with roasted peppers.. The menu includes enough veal, seafood, chicken, sausage, and steak entrees to make choosing just one a challenge. Oh and yes the calamari and fresh mozzarella apps were bellissimo! Homemade desserts galore…need more reasons to go? No.“

“10/10 do recommend. Excellent pup cup served. Filled to the top and swirled with love. Non dairy so belly doesn’t get upset. Mom loves their coffee and generally picks up some baked goods as well. I can generally convince her to share. My favorite is the lemon cake.“

“A group of 10 of us met here yesterday for lunch. The food was absolutely fantastic and the owner and staff are the best!! Multiple people said this is the best(fish,ravioli chicken)I’ve ever had. This will be our place to get together from now on!! Thanks for having our loud bunch and coming out to be loud with us😀“

“Love this place! We come here 1-2 times a week! The staff is fantastic and the pasta is incredible..“

“Always good. Easily the best restaurant in DelCo.“

“I was at the restaurant with my husband Jeff to celebrate my cousin Kristy’s graduation to be a doctor in Psychology. The appetizers wine my pasta primavera was delicious. They give big portions which I had to take home. It was a great time to be with family this afternoon!!!!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is outstanding—everything from the authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and rich, flavorful sauce, to the homemade pasta and classic Italian dishes was absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the flavors speak for themselves. But what really made our night special was the amazing service at the bar, thanks to Nick and Jack. These two are hands-down some of the best bartenders in Newtown Square! Not only are they knowledgeable about cocktails, wine, and beer selections, but they also make every guest feel like a regular. Their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart. Whether you’re looking for the perfect craft cocktail or just great conversation, Nick and Jack make the bar experience at Carmine’s unforgettable. If you’re in the Newtown Square area and looking for delicious Italian food, a great bar, and top-tier service, Carmine’s is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back!“

“For 15 years, Angelino's feels like home“

“The BEST piece of steak i have ever eaten, melted in my mouth!!!!!“

“Came in and was immediately greeted. We sat at the bar area and the food and service were both PHENOMENAL! I will be coming back soon!

My husband ordered the lamb burger and he licked his plate clean (very unusual for him). I had the bolognese subbed with linguine noodles and it was one of the best bolognese I’ve had in a while.

10/10 experience.“

“it feels like a restaurant in Paris France but more friendly service and welcoming“

“I love Maria’s! They were so helpful in 2023 when I was hosting my Fiancés 30th and needed to order pizzas, salad, and wings for delivery. We recently dined in and loved the chicken picata and Parmesan. The Maria Martini was very good too.“

“We just had our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was great! We had 26 people and the space was perfect! The food was amazing and the server was awesome! One server for all of us and she did great, very attentive and accommodating. We would definitely have another event there again.“

“My sister had her rehearsal dinner tonight ! It was absolutely stunning ! Service was amazing ! Julie girl they should train you to bartend more your service and personality rock! The manager was more than inviting and accommodating !! We’re not from the area but from being in the service industry and owning multiple bars and restaurants! They’re killing it !! Thank you for a great experience!“

“Awesome food, staff and entertainment!“

“Definitely lived up to its reputation. We showed up without reservations and they accommodated us. The food was delicious! The veal Saltimbocca was cooked in the authentic fashion and delicious. The shrimp special with cavitelli and spinach was extraordinary. Our server Simon was attentive and fantastic. We will definitely be back.“

“One of the most impressive Italian meals I've ever had. Everything we ordered was superb. cannot wait to go back!“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! Everything was delicious. Roz and Rocco's chef is a pro, and the waitress was congenial, and on point! The restaurant is a whimsical, eclectic blend that combines a traditional "family home style" celebratory vibe showcasing the owner's Italian grandmother's recipes. I am a salmon snob, and "Roz and Roccos" delivered: my salmon was cooked to perfection with that delicious crispy top layer that I love. The fresh charred, roasted broccoli had that brilliant green color with the right amount of tenderness and crispiness that made it so yummy. Our table of seven agreed that the food was bursting with unique flavors, as we passed around our plates to sample the entrees. Rox and Rocco's is a festive restaurant and I could feel "Grandma's love" with every bite.. So glad we picked this restaurant for Mother's Day.“
