“my fiance and I were in Philly (from Maine) and she treated me to Osteria for my birthday dinner. The service was amazing throughout the meal, I wish I got the servers name as he was really an incredibly friendly young man who clearly knew the menu very well. The atmosphere is wonderful and the interior is just lovely. In terms of the food, I had the wild boar bolognese which was a special that night, and it was AMAZING!!

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.“

We had the focaccia with meatballs and the polenta fritters for start, followed by the lumache and the dirty martini pork chop. For desert the chocolate tart is mind blowing. Chef James went around during the dinner and is a top-notch guy, very friendly. Will be back many times for sure.“

“The food was outstanding, I had the eggplant & burrito appetizer and the fusilli with crab and cherry tomatoes in a broccoli pesto sauce...delicious. And always my end to a great m a also is a dessert. I am seeker of great tira misu, and their's was outstanding as well and homemade as everything else had been. But I must know if the tira misu was made with mascarpone. Please ler me know. I will definitely come again!“

“Worth the wait. This was our last Philly Michelin m-starred restaurant to try. It’s the absolute best. The food was extraordinary and I’m already dreaming of my next meal there. My particular favorites included the buckwheat tart with morels and both pasta courses (one was an add on). Sadly I will now never feel satiated unless I’m eating Chef Schulman’s triangoli. A beautiful and intimate space with incredible care by the entire staff. Amanda Schulman was incredibly welcoming and engaged with the diners. Wine pairing was outstanding as was my Negroni made with Bruto Americano. The marzipan rhubarb cake was the stuff dreams are made of. So, so, so happy after this meal. Did I mention? Attentive and wonderful, wonderful staff. Thank you for an amazing evening!“

“Great dinner and wonderful service!“

“Finally got to visit my friend’s restaurant! We were NOT disappointed!! Excellent food, attentive staff in a quiet warm atmosphere. The menu made it so hard to decide but the Crab Cakes were the best I’ve ever eaten. The food at the whole table was amazing. Looking forward to dining again when we’re back in town!“

Everything from the food to the atmosphere and staff was wonderful. The owners are so nice and I will definitely be coming back!“

“I heard amazing news of this place and their delicious food. I am in NY, we know a thing or two about pizza and Amy's pizza slices are indeed very much real pizza. I will hopefully be visiting when me and my boyfriend and his brother go to their PA property this summer. very loving atmosphere too this place has from what I'm gathering, very accepting and respectful. That is the main reason I am willing to drive extra miles to visit.“

We would absolutely return here without hesitation and highly recommend! Perfect for a date night or any special occasion.“

“I’ve heard about Fiorino for so long, especially from someone who lives in Florida! I finally went and it was all they said it would be! Absolutely delicious! 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!“

“Wonderful meal! This was a great restaurant with great service and fantastic food. Really enjoyed our meal. We had our kids with us who are accustomed to eating out in nicer restaurants. They were welcomed despite it being a quiet restaurant and even had a small kids menu.“

“We celebrated my daughter-in-law‘s and my birthday tonight, June 27 and sat out on the patio because we love it out there. Our waitress, Sara, was so engaging, accommodating, and just helped make our birthday dinner extra special. We really appreciated all she did for us. The food and service were great.“

“My wife and I love The Saloon Restaurant.....the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is great. We eat at the Saloon when ever we are in the Philadelphia area or any where near Philly!!! IT IS OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN PHILADELPHIA AND THE UNITED STATES, FOR THAT MATTER!!! IF YOU ARE IN PHILLY, DON'T MISS THE SALOON!!! DEM“

“This place is great! Service was great and our server/the staff was so attentive. Food was delicious, the family style is perfect in terms of serving sizes! We got the tuna crudo and squash arancini for starters. Then we got the mushroom tortellini, penne ala vodka, and the chitarra with meatballs. Dessert we had like a white chocolate pudding, and an apple pastry. Everything was delicious - our only complaints are that the mushroom pasta was slightly over salted, the peas in the penne felt a bit too hard and undercooked, and the desserts were a bit too sweet for my taste. Our favorites were the tuna, chitarra, and arancini. I recommend making a reservation but we walked in and sat at the chefs table (first come first serve) and it was so much fun watching them make our meal (shoutout to the chefs working tonight)! Note: I cant speak on regular serving sizes and their affordability/value since we only got family style.“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!“

“A very good restaurant along Miami Beach.“

“Came here with my wife, and after we agreed Illata is one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Philadelphia. The food was creative, seasonal, fresh; the staff friendly and personal; and the intimate yet casual atmosphere made it feel like we were having an exclusive dinner-for-two. Highly recommend!“

“Thank heavens for Colonial Beach Local Foodie’s referral. Meet a gentleman at Thousand Trails resort just outside of Colonial Beach Va. that had a thick Upstate NY accent. We preceded to reminisce about family in Upstate NY,, of course food rolled into the conversation,. That’s how I came across Nonna Lena’s Italian Cuisine. I stopped by the restaurant by myself a couple of later.. Thought I’d get a quick lunch fix. Wrong! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I the chief my plate of Eggplant Parmesan. What a wonderful freshly made dinner (plus leftovers for 2 extra meals). The staff all were very friendly. Chiefly came out to see how I liked my meal. He shared some details about the newly open restaurant & homemade recipes, etc. He mentioned breakfast was also served and somehow in the conversation he decided to send me home with a sample of sausages & gravy along with my husbands meal. OMGoodness, the next day my breakfast was fantastic. Foodie’s note. Their food is prepared fresh from scratch daily😊. Don’t past by Colonial Beach Va. without dinning at Nonna Lena’s Italian several times.“

“The food, the staff, the service…all spectacular!“
