Now live in Key West for last 30 years but specifically make sure each time I come up to see family I go to Villa Di Roma, clams casino, asparagus, gravy and the people there that run it all family. Amazing piece of the food history of the Italian market that is a must try anytime.“

“one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.

i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.

I love Irwin’s.“

I asked our server what entree I should get because I couldn’t decide between 2 of them that I wanted. He said “No problem! I’ll bring you a half portion of each!” WHO does that in today’s world?! So absolutely kind and cool. I loved every single thing I had there and can’t wait to go back!“

“celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday last night and everything was perfect.“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! Everything was delicious. Roz and Rocco's chef is a pro, and the waitress was congenial, and on point! The restaurant is a whimsical, eclectic blend that combines a traditional "family home style" celebratory vibe showcasing the owner's Italian grandmother's recipes. I am a salmon snob, and "Roz and Roccos" delivered: my salmon was cooked to perfection with that delicious crispy top layer that I love. The fresh charred, roasted broccoli had that brilliant green color with the right amount of tenderness and crispiness that made it so yummy. Our table of seven agreed that the food was bursting with unique flavors, as we passed around our plates to sample the entrees. Rox and Rocco's is a festive restaurant and I could feel "Grandma's love" with every bite.. So glad we picked this restaurant for Mother's Day.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“We are regulars and had a wonderful meal tonight….as usual. The service from Rosy was excellent. She is very courteous, energetic and pleasant. She is knowledgeable of the menu, and explains the specials well. She is attentive, pleasant, and projects a positive image for the restaurant. She is a keeper!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is outstanding—everything from the authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and rich, flavorful sauce, to the homemade pasta and classic Italian dishes was absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the flavors speak for themselves. But what really made our night special was the amazing service at the bar, thanks to Nick and Jack. These two are hands-down some of the best bartenders in Newtown Square! Not only are they knowledgeable about cocktails, wine, and beer selections, but they also make every guest feel like a regular. Their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart. Whether you’re looking for the perfect craft cocktail or just great conversation, Nick and Jack make the bar experience at Carmine’s unforgettable. If you’re in the Newtown Square area and looking for delicious Italian food, a great bar, and top-tier service, Carmine’s is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Absolutely the Best in the City! This restaurant truly stands out. The food is nothing short of incredible—every dish is packed with flavor. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for any occasion. On top of that, the service is exemplary—friendly, attentive, and professional“

“Came in from Denver and was craving some great Italian. They did not disappoint! Service was excellent. Food was amazing! Clams Casino and Meatballs appetizer set a high bar for the rest of the meal, and they nailed it. Seafood ala Scannichios and the NY strip longjohn were hugely portioned and delicious. Others in our party had the Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parm and a few others- and they raved about them. Tiramisu and Bananas Foster were sublime. The owner Christian and his family really made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back on future trips.“

“The $10 quick spot is the best lunch deal in town.“

“Dinner at Pepperoncini Conshohocken Restaurant & Catering was amazing as always! The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food—absolutely delicious. The stuffed long hots appetizer was to die for, and the pork chop with prosciutto didn’t stand a chance—I cleaned the plate! A consistently fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed great service and excellent food!!“
