50 Best Italian Restaurants near Glenside

“Went there before a show at Keswick-
Friendly staff and professional
Food came pretty quick and all were tasty. We had the fish of the day, the tuna and the cotletta- all were delish- we also tried the Albanian desert with the pistachio/filo cheesecake- both were yum- the cheesecake isn’t like American cheesecakes, I liked it!
The place is clean.
It’s also BYOB- liquor store is right around the corner“

“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!“

“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!“

“I ordered the small cheese pizza and I loved ittt. I've been having a taste for some good pizza that's really hits the spot and this did just that. When I ordered in person, the lady with the short blonde hair was so sweet to me. I also called and placed orders and the man remembered my order and was very kind. You can definitely tell the food is made from the heart, I would totally recommend ?“

“Great service“

“Voglia was a great way to spend our 26th anniversary together. The food is amazing and beautifully displayed! The service is fantastic too! BYOB is a good option as well. Inside or outside seating 🎊“

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

“My Wife and I had a Fabulous Meal on Friday 06/21/24. From the fresh oysters to the main entrees. Staff were very polite and efficient. We were not rushed.. Definitely will be returning soon!!“

“This was my first time at this restaurant and I say it was a very nice experience. Looking for something traditional and something i haven't ordered while at a restaurant in a very long time I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with chicken and shrimp. I loved it! I also got appetizers with the family and a whiskey sour to drink. Waitress and buss boy were very friendly and informed. Would definitely go there again.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I have been to many course meals, but this is the top 5 best restaurants I have ever been to. Philadelphia is so lucky to have Elma. Amazing food, incredible service and hospitality. I was reminded of childhood meals and reveled in the incredible blend of flavors and textures. I will absolutely be coming back to dine at the incredible Elma.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“Great place...can't wait to go back.“

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

“Came here on the weekend but in the middle of the afternoon to celebrate a birthday.... Nice clean restaurant, tables fairly close but still roomy enough.The servers did a great job and the food came out surprisingly fast, which was nice.
We thought that the casesar salads were excellent. The romaine was fresh and a nice dark green and the croutons were a great texture, not too hard.
The eggplant and ricotta sandwich was very good, especially the cheese which has a fantastic texture!..the only criticism being the roll could have been larger to fit in the contents of the sandwich. We were blown away by the Prov Pie (upside down) and thought it was one of the best pizzas we ever had (we're Philly natives and all over age 60, so that must say something!)“

“Always great food. Not you ordinary food and prices are very good for this quality. Small cozy place and the service is good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great pizza with reasonable prices“

“We just had our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was great! We had 26 people and the space was perfect! The food was amazing and the server was awesome! One server for all of us and she did great, very attentive and accommodating. We would definitely have another event there again.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“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“

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

“Great food at a great price“

“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. ♥️✌️“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Hands down... our favorite restaurant!“

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

“Had shrimp scampi over linguine and my friend had Chicken Parm which were both excellent! Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere equally as pleasant! This is my new favorite restaurant!“

“The food and service were great. The noise level was a little high for my liking but it added to the good vibe of the place. I have been dined there many times and have always had a positive experience. So glad that they now accept reservations.“

“I love Maria’s! They were so helpful in 2023 when I was hosting my Fiancés 30th and needed to order pizzas, salad, and wings for delivery. We recently dined in and loved the chicken picata and Parmesan. The Maria Martini was very good too.“

“We hosted a celebration of life luncheon at From the Boot Ambler and we were so happy with the food, space and service. It was a great event. Thank you to Tim and Bob for the assistance with planning.“

“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!“

“Core de Roma has been our favorite Italian restaurant in the Philadelphia area since we discovered their original location in West Chester 8 years ago. We were sad when they had to close their West Chester location! Now that they're in Belmont Hills they're a little harder to get to but SO worth the trip. Gigi and Judy run a fantastic restaurant that feels like a family visit to Rome every time we go! The value and the authenticity can't be beat. Gigi's recipes are authentic Roman Italian recipes the way Italian food was meant to be enjoyed. Judy makes most of the desserts herself and they're absolutely worth saving room for! HIGHLY recommended. Try the suppli, the penne vodka, the core de Roma salad and don't skip on Judy's cannolis! Go and discover this hidden gem!“

“My absolute favorite dining restaurant where the food has always been top notch. Po Le Cucina is my only go to place to take friends, family, and visitors to for a special dining experience. This is a must go to dining experience when you find your way to Spring House, PA“

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

“Food is absolutely amazing! Service is amazing! Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Ate at the Philmont location last night. We had the Margherita pizza, cheesesteak, and truffle fries. Everything was delicious and our waitress, Katie, was the best. Ran into some friends that were also really enjoying themselves. Great spot.“

“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!“

“For all that remember Fantinis Pizza in North Wales....meet the original! Their signature swirl garlic pizza...red sauce...is our go to. Up from Tampa and this was one of my "MUSTS." Grabbed 3 pies to share with family and was as great as always! When Fantinis in North Wales closed....I thought paradise was lost....but many years later, we found LA Cucina Fanti and paradise was found! Been going there now for over 15 years!!!!! You won't be disappointed....family owned!!!!“

“It was fine, manager was nice enough to serve us while the server was busy. Food was delicious.

Was pleasantly surprised by the meatballs, chicken parm sandwich and pan fried mortadella.

Would prefer other options rather than just fries with the sandwich.

Bathroom needs to be cleaned a little better.“

“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!“
