48 Best Italian Restaurants near Chadds Ford

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“

“Please please bring back the burrata and soprasetta appetizer!! It was the best and so many patrons miss it!!“

“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!“

“Always exceptional food, service, atmosphere & an added bonus if Marty is your server?. It’s our #1 eatery in West Chester for many years & appreciate their excellence . A delicious & wonderful dining experience . Highly recommend chicken parm, chicken limoncello, calzones, or any of the amazing specials.“

“Food came out very fast. Atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The food alone was amazing and very fresh every time we go. The pasta dishes are better than most if not all of there other restaurants in wc. You can tell when effort is put into every dish and the chefs put full effort to make every bite as good as the last.“

“Our stay here has been absolutely fantastic. The front desk attendant and valets guys are amazing. The staff has gone above and beyond to meet all of our needs.“

“We really enjoy the Porkette with Broccoli Rabe, long hots, and sharp provolone; it’s absolutely delicious. My husband tried the chicken parm sandwich this time, and it was also fantastic. If we lived nearby, this would be a regular spot for us. I highly recommend it!“

“Went for a celebration in large room and had a delicious Chicken Marsala dinner. The service was excellent, especially with the large crowd and the wait staff was very, very nice. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“Absolutely delicious! Service was amazing!“

“Celebrated a birthday with guests so we did the Brunch. Food was generally good; however, the meat carving bar was disappointing. I sampled the roast beef which was not very warm despite heat lamps. Also, the portion was improperly carved (with the grain) making the slice stringy and awkward to slice for consumption . No gravy or au jus was provided to warm it up. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience.“

“The small plates were delicious and beautiful, nice atmosphere and Maria our server was outstanding. It was a very enjoyable dinner and they made my husband's birthday special.“

“Great day to be outside. Sat on your deck, quiet and great views. Food, drinks, service was really good. Highly recommended giving these guys a try. Prices were very reasonable We will be back“

“The staff was so amazing. There ability to recall the menu and make suggestions for me was nice/helpful. We were celebrating my friends birthday and they brought out a nice cake and candle. Loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious, and desserts were out of this world tasty.“

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

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!“

“The service, food and drinks are always on point. The have a wonderful for private room for events.“

“I have been going there from the age of 3 or 2 ye,s Old..."PNM thanks. I miss the food. I live in the middle west now.“

“The service was exceptional, atmosphere was peaceful which we genuinely needed in a trying time with my health. The food was perfectly made, including the bruschetta that was heart shaped and the dinner portions were more than enough. We will be back once I recover from my upcoming surgery and whatever treatment follows. Our waiter had no clue how much we needed the extra touches of caring service today.“

“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!!“

“😀We went there last night and it was AMAZING , food ,service ,selection , . Outstanding . Dan Is on firer & paying great attention to his food & guest . Once again one of the best in Wilmington .“

“Enjoyable experience. Food was enjoyed by all of our party. Of particular note were the pasta sauces and the homemade pastas which 2 of us ordered. Portion sizes were generous and our server was personable. We brought our own wine (BYOB) and were pleasantly surprised by the fact that there wasn't a corkage fee. Would have been nice to not have a "technology fee" added to our check for using a credit card. In this day and age, not many folks are carrying cash in the amount of our check (over $200.00). To me, it seems as if credit card use is pretty typical and " the cost of doing business."“

“On 9/4/25, I ordered the Chicken Parm. It was a very large portion, and I had enough for two meals at home.“

“Food is always consistently good. We were there a few weeks ago when on a Wednesday. Apparently there was some group in a side room. Our waitress was MIA most of the meal after she dropped off our food. No refills on drinks when we needed it. Then it took twenty minutes to get our check. Everyone around us was also complaining. One waitress for ten tables? It is obvious they were paying more attention to the larger party in the side room. . They need to hire more waitstaff. It spoiled the outing.“

“Really good food good cocktails“

“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.“

“Service and food were absolutely amazing! I can't wait to go back!“

“BEST WATER ICE IN DELAWARE and Pizza Perfect!!! We love you Bernie...The Wise Family💕“

“Absolutely love V&M's. Their Margarita pizza reminds me of fresh pizza in Italy. Lovely people who always greet you with a smile! One of our favorite places to dine in and take out!“

“Great experience with an expansive menu. Waiter and owner handled allergy questions and provided multiple options. Portions large enough for dinner the next night. We enjoy the experience every time we come.“

“Phenomenal experience at Fiorello Cafe’ ! The food was on point, everything was absolutely delicious. The Family was great“

“First time back since last months fiasco. Today was a 100% improvement. We had Will today and he made it an enjoyable experience. Salad was fresh and entrees were great. Thank you Will for restoring our faith. Even had dessert.“

“Had a lovely family dinner for four adults. sharing 4 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 2 desserts. Everything was excellent. Standout starters were the apple and kohlrabi salad and the duck leg. We also really liked the braised short rib entree. Lauren was an outstanding server and coached us well in our selections.“

“Great experience, excellent food, and the staff were very friendly. The owner also spent a few minutes speaking to us. A really nice guy. Awesome all the way around!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“As always a traditional delicious Italian meal.“

“Went in last night for the first time with the new chef. Amazing! Menu us updated, and food is maybe even better. Same excellent service and welcoming environment. Glad one of our favorites is better than ever.“

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

“We visited last night. We were greeted right away. The service was so good. I had Shells Aurora. Simply amazing. Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.“

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

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

“Capellini Positano dish is delicious!! 🦞“

“Update: We have lived here nearly a year and this is still our go-to place. My oldest daughter is now vegan and they custom make her vegan breadsticks. Love these guys! We order from here usually once per week. Their plain pizza is classic. I think they put cinnamon in their crust—there is something special. It’s the only pizza that all of my kids like. Win! Oh, and the guy that answers the phone and does the register is always so nice! Highly recommend!“

“First and foremost yes it’s inside of what seems to be a dieing mall. But to get to the point there is basically more food spots in the mall then actual interesting stores in my opinion so I went there to eat because I hadn’t had food yet. With that being said I kept walking almost to the end of the mall by where sears was and there it was. I have to say the place is great from service to food everything was amazing! If I was more local I would definitely stop in often. Our server was super friendly and outgoing she had no issue getting us anything that was needed she even took a soup back that I didn’t like without any hesitation or attitude that most other places would not do. The food was great the place was clean bar options were great like I said I have not 1 complaint . Picture was from the complimentary bread they give , and a special of the lobster/crab and shrimp ravioli . We also got the chicken parm sandwich so cheesy and the special steak which was pretty loaded! Crinkle cut fries with cheese were also great! Unfortunately didn’t take pics of the other stuff but if you like Italian food do not hesistate to stop by!!!“

“I love everything I ordered. I highly recommend Cafe Sitaly. Even when I have to wait, it's worth my time. It's Delicious 😋🤤“

“My Husband and I just got the Bianca pizza. Everything else there doesn't taste good(reg pizza, fries) This location was our first date over 27 years ago. We will never stop coming here. As with all food places, prices are way too high.“

“Order anything with the garlic bread and amp up your gastronomic experience to epic proportions. Lauren has that way of scanning the bar/restaurant for a refill, making sure everything is cool, or the check. It’s not loud so you can converse with friends-and new friends! Community vibe. Oh, and did I mention the garlic bread?“

“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.“
