“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!! Really, all the food was impeccable, from the focaccia to our mains. Super pleased and the next time I’m in town, I will most definitely be coming back!!”

Hands down, this might be the best Italian in Philly. The food doesn’t just sit pretty on the plate — it jumps out, grabs you by the soul, and gives you a warm, savory hug. Every bite is a bold, beautiful explosion of flavor that hits you in the heart and the taste buds. This place isn’t just dinner — it’s a love story in pasta form.”

“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!”

29 Cicala at the Divine Lorraine

4.3 Superb 215 Reviews

699 N Broad St, Philadelphia · 8.38 miles

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“We just left Cicala, and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was incredible. Honestly one of the best interior designs I’ve seen in an Italian restaurant, and probably the best in Philadelphia. There was a gentleman named Peter at the front who took great care of us. Since we had our baby with us, he was especially attentive and thoughtful throughout the night, which we really appreciated. We started with the arugula salad, and it was one of the best arugula salads I’ve had. Then we ordered a crab and tomato pasta — I can’t remember the exact name — and it was very good, although slightly under-seasoned for my taste. After that, we had the slow-cooked short rib. The presentation and overall dish were beautiful, but for me personally, the meat was a little too cooked. If you don’t prefer very well-cooked meat, I’d recommend mentioning that beforehand. Overall, I felt the salt levels in some dishes were a bit low, but it was still an excellent dining experience. Special thanks again to Peter for his hospitality. I definitely recommend Cicala.”

“My sister and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Dolce Italian before the matinee to see Shen Yun. We had plenty of time and yet we did not have to wait long for service. Our server, Tristan, was very polite and efficient as we requested if we could share both a salad and a sandwich! The roasted beets salad was excellent, and the chicken cutlet sandwich was freshly cooked and delicious. The portions were very generous even though we shared both choices. This restaurant is a great option for lunch or early supper before a show or the Philadelphia Orchestra. I highly recommend Dolce Italian.”

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.”

• Take-Out

“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!”

44 Irwin's

4.1 Good 118 Reviews

800 Mifflin St, Philadelphia · 6.97 miles

• Delivery

“Irwin's is one of those rare South Philly spots that actually lives up to the hype without trying too hard. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and intentional—bright, open space, relaxed energy, and a vibe that makes it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a planned night out. The menu is where Irwin’s really stands out. It’s not overloaded or confusing, just focused and well thought out. Everything feels like it was designed with care, from the small plates to the larger shared dishes. The flavors are clean but still bold enough to keep things interesting. You can tell the kitchen pays attention to detail instead of just pushing out trendy food. Even simple dishes end up tasting elevated. Service is another strong point. The staff is attentive without hovering, and they’re genuinely helpful when it comes to recommendations. There’s a balance there that a lot of restaurants miss—professional but still relaxed enough that you don’t feel rushed or pressured. The rooftop space is also a big bonus. On a nice night, it really changes the whole experience. You get a great view of the neighborhood, and it adds a layer of personality that makes the meal feel more memorable than just “going out to eat.” Pricing is fair for what you’re getting, especially considering the quality and setting. It’s not a budget spot, but it doesn’t feel overpriced either—you leave feeling like you got what you paid for. Overall, Irwin’s is the kind of place that works for multiple occasions: date nights, group dinners, or just a solid meal when you want something better than average. It’s consistent, well-run, and easy to recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality dining experience in South Philly.”

46 Ombra Restaurant

5 Brookline Blvd, Havertown · 6.18 miles

• Take-Out

“Some places serve food. Others serve something deeper. In a town like Havertown, where connection isn’t just a word but a way of life, Julian has quietly built something special. Not loud, not flashy, just intentional in all the right ways. From the first bite, you feel it. Appetizers that are fresh, thoughtful, and honestly hard to ignore. Entrées that go beyond flavor and land somewhere closer to care. There’s a depth here that mirrors the community itself, subtle, refined, and rooted. And the octopus? Perfectly prepared. The kind of dish you’d expect in a Michelin-star setting, yet somehow it feels even more meaningful here. Because what sets this place apart isn’t just technique. It’s heart. Every flavor carries that unmistakable Havertown spirit, warm, connected, and built on something real. This isn’t just dinner. It’s what happens when food meets community in its purest form.”
