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

“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.“

“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!!

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love a place that doesn’t close at 10 and serves food late, AND good food at that! I ordered the Philly Steak and enjoyed it a lot. The roll was amazingly soft and fresh. The meat was chopped good and flavored well and it all came together deliciously. I would have enjoyed a tad more meat but there was enough that I’d didn’t make me put it all into one half. 8/10. Id surely go back. Only thing I’d suggest is a better IPA on tap such as Fiddlehead.“

“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! 😊“

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