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

“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.“

“We recently hosted a Baby Shower at Fellini’s - and to say they outdid themselves would be an understatement! Anthony was AMAZING to work with from the beginning- very communicative, listened to our vision and helped us bring it to life- including creating menu items they don’t typically serve! Day of, Anthony, his wife and the staff were nothing short of amazing! And the food was RAVED about! We cant thank Anthony and Fellini Cafe enough for the beautiful space, delicious food, incredible hospitality and memories we will have for a lifetime!“

“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.“

“The owners are really nice and serve all of the food themselves.

The bread is great and the sauce was really flavorful. The arrancini balls were good.

The pasta was a bit dense and the gnocchi had a slightly weird taste to it.

The carpet makes the restaurant feel very mildewey and has a smell to it.“

“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.“

“Lobster ravioli with blush sauce was amazing. Calamari was very good!“

“Really good food good cocktails“

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

“Ordered the lamb shanks with risotto and the pasta with mussels, clams, shrimp and calimari. The food was phenomenal, well seasoned and packed with flavor. One thing kept this from being a 5 star review....the bread. I wanted to sop up all of that delicious seafood broth but the bread was not edible. Think Olive Garden breadsticks, but WAY worse. Chalky, flavorless, horrible texture. So bad that I told the server not to bring anyone else that bread for the rest of the evening.“

“Just had a client dinner here and everything was AMAZING! Service, food, wine….. can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Tonight was our first night trying Portabello’s. We had an excellent dinner! My wife had the chicken parmigiana and I had the stroganoff. We shared the chocolate decadence cake for dessert. Had an excellent server named Erica. We will be back.“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful dinner at Rocco’s! The crab spaghetti was absolutely delicious full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Our server, Kay, made the experience even better with her friendly, attentive, and welcoming service. She made sure we had everything we needed and truly went above and beyond. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Rocco’s, and if you get the chance, ask for Kay!“

“My go-to order is the seafood alfredo or mussels but you could not go wrong choosing anything on the menu, everything is beyond delicious! My nieces always ask if we can go get their gelato whenever they come over and we usually end up adding a pizza or three to the order as well. Not only is the food and service amazing, when my snow shovel broke this morning while they were snowblowing the lot they were SO KIND and immediately came over to help with my walkway. Everything I love about Downingtown and the community is embodied by Pomodoro and I highly recommend stopping by for both the food and the people! 😊“
