50 Best Italian Restaurants near Chadds Ford

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

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

“Went on a Friday night! Did have children with us but would definitely recommend for adults as well lol!!Food was outstanding. Different n delicious was THE Romana alla Griglia which was Grilled Romaine hearts topped with caramelized onion, goat cheese, and crispy pancetta dressed with balsamic vinaigrette!! A must try for something different to start your meal!! Soups entrees just delicious!!“

“A nice little pizza shop, I’m happy to have found today at work. They serve a crisp thin crust pizza that isn’t too heavy on the sauce or cheese, and therefore not overly greasy as well. (I know pizza is subjective but that’s exactly how I like it). I thought it was delicious and will likely try a sandwich next time. I’d love to see a chicken ceasar wrap on the menu someday, but there’s plenty of options there now. Very friendly people, and fair prices too. It appears to be take-out only, but there’s a few outdoor tables for nice weather. Ample parking, order from the kiosk inside, credit accepted/cash appreciated. Highly recommended.“

“Been going here for years to eat in or get take out. I love that it’s walking distance from my house. You can tell everything is fresh and homemade. Must haves: gnocchi, meatballs w/ whipped ricotta, meatball salad, wedding soup…and so many more. Atmosphere is great…always a good crowd, greeted by Donnie the owner every time and the staff provides excellent hospitality. Zero complaints.“

“What a tremendous experience we had at IL Granaio!! Food was out of this world and service was on point. We’ll be back for sure — soon!!“

“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.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“We used our Toys for Tots donation voucher for a take-out family style dinner yesterday. The meal was abundant and absolutely delicious! We all agreed that it was some of the best pasta we have ever had. And the antipasti, caesar salad and cheesecake were also amazing. Thank you Bar Avalon for a wonderful meal and your generous offering for a good cause.“

“This place is superb! We celebrated Mother's Day there today and had the best time! The food is DELISH, everybody had something different and raved about it. I did the Classic Chicken Parm and it was some of the best I ever had (and I order that stuff EVERYWHERE). If you get the chance to go, you'll love it!“

“Outstanding foor and service. Unique menu that is full of delicious surprises. Not one thing disappointed.“

“Was not our first visit. We started with the olive app and the beet salad. Both were very nice. Entrees were the veal roll up and spinach/barata risotto. Perfectly delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We'll keep returning to this lovely gem.“

“Great servers - the D ladies - Danielle and Danielle! Nice atmosphere, good drinks and delicious food!“

“Excellent food and wine!! Kind to identify which items could be made GF. Nice atmosphere. Best Chicken Marsala I’ve had in a long time. Quiet booth in the back. An enjoyable evening with my favorite person! Thank you @Cafe Napoli! All the best! —just passing through, but pleased“

“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!!“

“I am Holly's husband we went to Pastabilities on Saturday night with our son and his fiancee. Everything we ate was on point! From the appetizers, entrees to desert! We found the service to be excellent, Otis was our waiter and he couldn't have been more friendly or professional. Everything we ordered was freshly made and delicious. We will definitely be back Luigi serves some of the best Italian food I ever ate since my Grandmothers cooking!“

“We came here for my wife’s birthday and they did not disappoint. Excellent food and wonderful service. Just wish they had Cognac on there list of after dinner drinks.“

“We had an excellent meal last night and the hostess seated us promptly (without a Rez) busboy and waitress were tremendous! The salmon salad was great but the ribeye steak with Brussel Sprouts and mushroom cream sauce was superb! I wish I captured a picture but forgot.“

“I had a bad experience here over a year ago. at the advice of a close friend, I chose to give them another chance. last night, I went there and had a FABULOUS meal. offerings, presentation, the server and his approach and knowledge of the menu, everything. it was a great experience and I'll be going back.“

“just love the place my favorite restaurant love the food the atmosphere friendly staff can’t say enough about it“

“Recently went for their Italian Lunch Buffet. I was surprised by their massive spread of food, and of course I had to sample most of it. Everything tasted so fresh, filling, and most importantly tasty.
Price was affordable as it's an unlimited buffet. Highly recommend to fill that urge for Italian food.

I forget what days it's available unfortunately. Maybe Monday-Thursday?

Regardless, I'd go again.“

“The food was prepared well the duck was delicious and juicy, the little gem salad was good yet not as spicy as I anticipated from the description. The braised short ribs were very flavorful and melted in your mouth. The potatoes were crispy with a nice salty coating. The halibut was tasty yet uninspired. The grilled mushrooms were very well prepared but the rest of the dish was lacking a place of it's own; just kind of bland fish dish on puréed potatoes which let's face it is the least creative side. Dessert was well thought out and prepared. I had the pistachio torte which was excellent and my gorgeous date had the chocolate cake which was similarly excellent. For cocktails the Amalfi spritz was refreshing with a hint of hibiscus and not bitter like an Aperol spritz and the bone dry dirty martini met the mark.“

“My favorite italian restaurant“

“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.“

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

“Not only is the food delicious, but the customer service is truly top-notch. 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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Highly recommend! We celebrated our anniversary tonight and the service was incredible from the moment we walked in the door. The doors were opened for us and we were greeted and seated promptly. Our server Brandon was fantastic. We tried all of his recommendations and were not disappointed. The crispy calamari, NY strip special, chicken piccata, and you have to leave room for the butterscotch cake AND the cinnamon roll bread pudding for dessert. We didn’t have to wait too long for our food, waters were refilled frequently, but we never felt rushed. This was our first time and we cannot wait to go back.“

“Third Visit Delicious Service and Atmosphere Very Pleasant“

“The rigatoni and sausage is great, as is the salmon. Both locations are very dog friendly, unlike Capers and Lemons (owned by the same folks. I make it a point to visit both Taverna locations, but will avoid Capers and Lemons, even though it is closer to my home. Highly recommend Taverna. Dog lovers? Stay away from Capers and Lemons.“

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

“First time there! Highly recommend!! So good“

“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!“

“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.“

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