50 Best Italian Restaurants near Glenside

“We were a party of 10 celebrating a birthday with no reservation but were accommodated immediately. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The chef (owner) greeted our party, provided a brief description of the menu and his concept, and gave us his recommendations. The melintzana, the mediterranean duo, and the meatbolls were great to share. I shared the Paella for two which tasted fresh and authentic. The chef's touch on traditional mediterranean dishes kept true to their origin and added a welcomed personalized flare. We are looking forward to dine there again.“

“TreVi is simply fantastic. Whether dining in or ordering take out, the food and service has always been great. Recently, they started making their own wine which is very good at an incredible affordable price. My wife, son, and daughter also love the food.“

“I have been writing about the Italian culture, history and food for many years, and have been making all sorts of pizza styles for two decades--I highly recommend Trios. I've been critical of Trenton style tomato pies in the past... usually covered with overpowering, acidic, cheap tomato sauce and barely a dusting of "parmesan" cheese. Trios' pies are a whole other level above that. Their crust is thin and crusty. They use amazingly sweet crushed tomatoes. The toppings are very Italian. Authenticity is key here... you won't be dissapointed!“

“Always deeelish. Always hot. I saved their driver and picked up for SuperBowl Sunday.
Got my fave calzone.., the medium size is a monster for 2 easily... I always have a section for lunch the next day.
We also got an awesome cheese steak. We were set!!
Go BIRDS!!!“

“Luigi’s Pizza in Glenside is hands down one of the best pizza spots around! The food is always fresh and absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality in every bite—from the crispy crust to the flavorful sauce and perfectly melted cheese. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or ordering a full meal, everything is made with care. Highly recommend if you're craving great pizza and friendly 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!“

“The food was excellent! I had the grouper special with risotto and enjoyed every last bite. My friend had the shrimp scampi and she said it was the best she has tasted. Everything from the food to the atmosphere and staff was wonderful. The owners are so nice and I will definitely be coming back!“

“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!!“

“Very good food! Staff are always super friendly. Love the ambiance 🍷“

“We love all of the Pier restaurants! Brain and team work hard at making the atmosphere welcoming and their food is creative and delicious!“

“This was one of our most memorable dinners of 2025 so far — everything we ordered was delicious.

We started with the marinated tomatoes with stracciatella and the focaccia, then had the Thai basil tagliatelle with crab and the breaded pork chop as mains, and finished with the corn brûlée and blueberry pâte à choux for dessert.

The marinated tomatoes with the focaccia were an excellent pairing, and the tagliatelle was a surprisingly delightful fusion — spicy, flavorful, and very well balanced. The pork chop was excellent too: juicy and flavorful, though slightly undercooked near the bone. The corn brûlée was fantastic, while the pâte à choux was the only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark.

Overall, the food was outstanding and the space was very cozy. Our only wish was for slightly better ventilation in the restaurant, but otherwise, it was an amazing dining experience.“

“Fantastic dining experience our server Sean Martin was amazing.“

“My fiancé and I went to Cicala on Saturday night before a comedy show at The Met. It was our first time there and I was very impressed with the intimate atmosphere. It was perfect for a date night. Our waitress, Breanna C, was fantastic. One of the first things she asked is what brought us there today and once we mentioned we were seeing a show, she provided her recommendations for how to time everything so we would not be rushing to make it to the show on time. Breanna was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. She also provided honest recommendations, which was appreciated. The food was delicious and portion sizes were perfect. We had a great experience!“

“We had a great experience! Our table got a pie, 1 cheesesteak with, 1 cheesesteak without and a chicken parm sandwich. We loved everything! They were super busy w carryout (1st eagles game vs the cowboys) and we still got our food quickly. Great service and great waiter!“

“This place was a true dining experience! The staff to the chefs was truly amazing. I recommend the tasting menu, it allows you to understand the authenticity and story of Tulip Pasta & Wine Bar through their food. My boyfriend and I enjoyed ourselves so much we plan to take our moms to experience the same enjoyment we did. Can’t wait to be back“

“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. ♥️✌️“

“This restaurant is one of the best places I have ever eaten at. The food and service are outstanding! I’m Italian and very picky with my sauce…. It's amazing! We drove for an hour to get here. I would gladly drive double that to eat this delicious food! The owners are very kind and do everything themselves. So so good! I promise it will be one of the best Italian restaurants you’ve ever eaten at!“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“Food here is amazing. The staff here is very friendly. So many pizza places offer the same types of foods but this place does it the best. So much flavor and the food is simply delicious whether you get pasta or wings or anything. The desserts are great as well.“

“it feels like a restaurant in Paris France but more friendly service and welcoming“

“Booked UVA for my son’s Bar Mitzvah and everything turned out perfectly! The food and service was amazing! I highly recommend for a private party or for dinner!“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“It was my first time there and it was GREAT! My parents used to go and always spoke highly of it. I'll go back next time in the area.“

“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!“

“Excellent food & service , been here many times, Love it ❤️👍“

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting a graduation party at From the Boot in Lafayette Hill, and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Bri, the event coordinator, worked with me to customize my menu. She was extremely responsive to all my requests. Our server, Nick, truly made the experience exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout our buffet service, always there to refill drinks and assist the guests. The buffet itself was delicious! The selection was impressive, and everyone enjoyed the delicious pasta, chicken parm and bruschetta. Overall, the combination of great food, a nice ambiance, and outstanding service from Nick made our graduation party amazing. I highly recommend From the Boot for any special event.“

“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!“

“Awesome place! great food, super nice staff“

“For 15 years, Angelino's feels like home“

“Great pizza with reasonable prices“

“The best kept secret for… decades. We almost don’t want to review and keep it a gated secret so it doesn’t get too “Instagram famous”. Food, service, atmosphere are best in class. Every single dish, yum!

We bring clients here on the regular and they are always left completely amazed. Then, they return and invite us to go with them.“

“Our first time dinning at Radice and we had an amazing meal. The service was wonderful and the food was fresh and very delicious! Received warm greetings from everyone and the atmosphere was very comfortable, they almost make you feel at home. Definitely made a regular customer out of us on our first time there!“

“My family and I’ve been here a handful of times. We’ve enjoyed birthdays and time with friends. The food is delicious and tastes like home made Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, while the service is timely and our servers were always attentive, whether we were outside or indoors. I highly recommend this spot to friends and will be back for another date night/special occasion!“

“By far, THE absolute best Italian Restaurant in our area“

“We have come to La Strada many times... This time was by far the worst experience we have ever had. Sadly, the server was a bit overwhelmed I think. He came over to us and then let us sit for about 15 mins before he came back. Glad it is BYOB or else we probably would have been waiting for drinks also. After he finally took our order, which we knew by the sounds of other tables comments, it prob would come out wrong, we finally got our soup and salad and then another waitress that works there came over with the pork chop special to give us... Um, no that is not by any chance close to what we ordered. She walks away. Our server never came over to tell us what happened. About 20 mins or so later, we received our order.... BUT LO and BEHOLD, my husband's dinner which was Pollo Gamberi was missing ALL of the shrimp. This is a staple of this dish. I am really not sure what happened. But he comped our soup, gave us 2 pieces of dessert to take home, even though we said no and I also heard the ppl next to us never got their app. And he comped that. The owner is sadly gonna keep losing money if the server doesn't step up his game. From now on, when we go in , we will ask for the servers we have had and we recognize.“

“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“

“Love this place! We come here 1-2 times a week! The staff is fantastic and the pasta is incredible..“

“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.“

“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“

“Everything, great food great atmosphere ! Just show up unbelievable!“

“Visited Angelos's on Friday, 9/29/23 for late lunch. Had several out of town Family members (10) and 3 babies with me. Dana was our server. She was very friendly, and excellent waitress. With 3 babies in our group was a little hectic at times. Food as usual was delicious. Some ate Pasta, others had cheese steaks. Food always fresh. Tony is was so great seeing you again. Thanks to Dana for making our dining experience memorable. Always 5 stars, but really should be 10. Will be back again real soon. Sincerely, Carmella Donaghy“

“Hands down... our favorite restaurant!“

“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!“

“Food was incredible! I had the grilled octopus salad and linguine pescatore. The bruschetta was one of the best I have ever had. Reasonably priced.“

“Have lived in Lansdale since the inception of this restaurant, and are amazed that we never knew of it’s existence until tonight. We started with the bruschetta and pasta fagiole, both very good. The veal Milanese was tender and delicious, accompanied by fresh mixed vegetables and potatoes, which were oven roasted to perfection. The lobster and crab ravioli was exceptional, served with a vodka rose cream sauce; and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Our server, Nicole, was friendly and very knowledgeable. She made wonderful suggestions and took her time describing the different meal choices available on the varied menu. We were too full to try dessert, but they looked delicious! (Next time!!) Topping off the experience was delightful live music courtesy of a very talented man named Calvin. We will be back and will tell our friends!“
