50 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .

“It was our first time and the food was amazing!! Lobster bisque was unbelievable as were the sausage egg rolls for appetizers. We had gnocchi with steaks tips and prosciutto sachetti which we wound up splitting because we loved both. Canolli and rum cake were outstanding as well. We also ordered sausage eggrolls and lobster bisque to go to have for football Sunday. Service was impeccable. 100% recommend. Will definitely be going more often.“

We will be back the next time we are in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“As always a traditional delicious Italian meal.“

“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.“

“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.“

When it came to a minor confusion with an order, the staff, more specifically the owner, Susan, went absolutely above and beyond in resolving the matter. Rocco's continues to be our favorite restaurant when the Italian-cravings hit and would recommend anyone and everyone to experience this local gem for themselves.“

“Capellini Positano dish is delicious!! 🦞“

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

“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!!!“

“Your food was excellent when we got married 6/9/10 and we had a wonderful lunch there today as well for our ten year anniversary. Everything was great!“

“Hidden Gem indeed! Great meal for take out. The lobster ravioli is fantastic!“

“Five of us had lunch at Cafe Verdi today. I only wish we had discovered it sooner! Between us we had four different pasta dishes and 1 salmon burger. Everything was excellent- fresh, nicely presented, and delicious! The family restaurant feel, the lovely music, and the people on staff made for a most enjoyable and memorable afternoon! We will definitely return- thank you, Sylvio!“

“Friendly staff, timely arrival of food to the table, and clean facilities! Nicole ensured we never had empty cups and was punctual throughout our dining experience. If these things are important to you, then you will absolutely have a great experience as well.“
