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!“

“Holy cow. Don’t know how I’ve lived in this area for almost 3 years before hearing of/ trying this place?!? Was craving pasta and this was highest rated for around here on Grubhub. I can see it’s for good reason!! The menu is so huge we went with your basic chicken fettuccini Alfredo and vodka penne but it’s ANYTHING but basic. Absolutely delicious. Ideal comfort food. Probably for the best that I didn’t discover this place sooner because I’d be ordering food multiple times a week“

“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“

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

“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 🎊“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and service. Top notch“

“We had a beautiful time celebrating a family friends wedding service was the best so was the food.“

“Driving from Broomall to Philadelphia. Finding Scoogis was kismet! Following my guy I pulled and thought “eh, why not”. Greeted my the gem of a human that is Sophia. Scoogis is everything you want in a dining experience. Great energy in the dining rooms, high-quality service, atmosphere, great menu, great desert. Scoogis feels like home and the staff and owners should be proud of what they have accomplished here. Will certainly be back for more. A truly special restaurant.“

“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.“

“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!)“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“They have so many different foods to choose from. All of their hoagies are yummy! And they sell all different kinds of meats, cheeses, olives, salads, etc.. we love them!!“

“Great pizza with reasonable prices“

“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!“

“Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had! Worth the hour drive for sure! The customer service was exceptional. I will definitely be back!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

The manager was more than inviting and accommodating !! We’re not from the area but from being in the service industry and owning multiple bars and restaurants! They’re killing it !! Thank you for a great experience!“

“Definitely lived up to its reputation. We showed up without reservations and they accommodated us. The food was delicious! The veal Saltimbocca was cooked in the authentic fashion and delicious. The shrimp special with cavitelli and spinach was extraordinary. Our server Simon was attentive and fantastic. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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“

“THE BEST AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD IN FISHTOWN! Great atmosphere, BYOB. Family owned and such amazing staff. Mushroom crepes are a must try!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars ❤️“

“Great pizza. Outstanding service.“

“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.“

“What a fantastic place to eat before we saw a concert at Ardmore Music Hall. We asked to be in and out within 45 minutes so we could make the concert. The service was fast but not rushed. The food from apps to entre', we're hot and delicious. The bread was also warm and crusty but soft in the middle. Paired perfectly with my eggplant parm appetizer. I also had the penne vodka as my main dish. I was not disappointed. My husband had a Cesar salad and a capellini and seafood dish. Fantastic portion size. Everything was just perfect. My only regret was that we didn't have time for dessert. Next time!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“The experience overall was great with the exception that the hostess (older male) didn't seem to "find" my name on the reservation list and then when he did he seated us smack middle of the walk way when there were side tables available (which had me thinking a bit, only because I'm not the "majority" that goes there. Maybe I'm thinking about too much. MAYBE NOT 🤷‍♂️).
Other than that, our waiter Austin(if I'm not mistaken) was amazing! Top of the line fella, very attentive, kind, funny and friendly. The food was soooo GOOD! We got calamari (delicious!!), my fiance got the chicken Parm(chicken was good and pasta was on point), I got the lobster ravioli (pasta could've DEF been COOKED A BIT LONGER lol. Other than that it's DELICIOUS!!!!!)
