“We have been dining here while visiting from another state at least annually for the last 13 years. The food and service have been consistently excellent and we have had large family gatherings in a private room here. All family members were very pleased with food quality, selection and service. Highly recommended !!!“

“The homemade pasta is really excellent. The texture was perfectly toothsome. I got the cacio e pepperoncini (vegan option) and it was quite good, though the sauce wasn’t my favorite. It felt very oily and I’m not sure if that’s a product of veganizing the sauce. I loved the tangy spice of the pepperoncini though.

The shishito peppers were good, but fairly standard blistered peppers like I’ve had at many other restaurants. The almond / mint sauce was quite nice though.

The plates are generously portioned.

Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian options that are clearly labeled. They also have clear labels for dishes that can be made vegetarian or vegan.“

“Do yourself a favor; invite 4-5 friends bring a nice bottle of wine and you will have a wonderful evening. Don’t be afraid to simply order the specials.“

“We used Pepperoncini as the on-site catering for our wedding in Exton. Tom and his team did an AMAZING job! Our guests raved about the delicious food. The service by Tina and Alyssa at the event was exceptional. Tom worked with us to plan a day that we wanted. We would 100% recommend Pepperoncini for all of your catering needs. They took our event to the next level. The food is first-class all the way!“

“Nice place to enjoy a great dinner. BYOB“

“I originally gave this place 1 star, now they have new owners or new management or both. So far, everything I have order was good, no problem with pick up or delivery. I haven't tried everything yet, just the pasta dishes and they were all delicious. Customer Service was good too“

“Amalio’s is great! Ever since they opened it is the only place we order our pizza from! Their hot honey pizza is our favorite. And their pasta - the best! We particularly love their chicken parm and vodka penne. Such a friendly environment, the staff there is amazing. No matter whether we eat in or take out we love it!“

“Our server was great. i think her name was Natalie. The food was great. We did the family style. Very tasty, superb.“

“A charming spot with the warmest people with olde school Italian food that hits the mark. Buona Sera Havertown has a warm welcoming atmosphere, excellent staff and a great menu of everyone’s favorites. Since 2022, this throwback has been a favorite in town. The shrimp pastas was excellent But the hit was the Scaloppine Alla Cardinale veal scaloppine sauteed with white wine, prosciutto, mozzarella and topped with roasted peppers.. The menu includes enough veal, seafood, chicken, sausage, and steak entrees to make choosing just one a challenge. Oh and yes the calamari and fresh mozzarella apps were bellissimo! Homemade desserts galore…need more reasons to go? No.“

“Highly recommend this local Fishtown family owned establishment. The grocery selection is fabulously curated and don’t get me started on the hoagies 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤. Love to love this place. All the vibes. ♥️✌️“

“Holy cow, I’ve lived around here my whole life and i cant believe noone has ever told me about this place! So i feel its my job to SCREAM at the top of my lungs about how amazing my experience was. Savannah is so bubbly , friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I am so impressed with her ability to remember and recite the intricate details of all of the specials. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. We met the chef and he was just as sweet and as the hostess. This place is a real hidden gem, And im going to do my best to help unhide it!“

“Hidden gem, such a cute place and very clean. Food was amazing everything from the calamari to the cappuccino. Waiter was really nice and attentive. Definitely going back“

“Always amazing! Pasta prepared to perfection! Perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion or family dinner. They continue to evolve with special additions to their classic menu. Service is alway top notch.“

“Came in and was immediately greeted. We sat at the bar area and the food and service were both PHENOMENAL! I will be coming back soon!

My husband ordered the lamb burger and he licked his plate clean (very unusual for him). I had the bolognese subbed with linguine noodles and it was one of the best bolognese I’ve had in a while.

10/10 experience.“
