“Bella's is small but cute; family friendly not fancy. The aroma coming from the kitchen was wonderful and helped us immediately develop an appetite. We started with mussels in marinara. The sauce was good and the mussels tender. Their buttery garlic rolls are addictive! I had the salmon special. A large baked salmon filet with sautéed spinach, garlic and grape tomatoes. The salmon was very moist, tender and not overcooked. My husband had the veal marsala. While he liked it, he said the marsala sauce was bland. It wasn't nearly the best he's ever had. Service was fantastic and the prices very reasonable. Overall a pleasant experience.“
“My wife and I made reservations here because my lil butterfly (daughter) had her confirmation. The food was good; the service was satisfactory; and the atmosphere was amicable. My wife and I are making plans to revisit this establishment in the near future.“
“The godfather is one of the best sandwiches Ihave eaten. Cheesesteaks are important to me. I take them seriously. A bad one can ruin my day. ?. This one is gourmet. The cheese sauce is delicious and they overfilled the roll with meat. My takeout package must have weighed 4lbs and the meat was perfect. I would put this top 3 all time on my cheesesteak list. Well freaking done people. I’ll be back.“
“Great food and superb service. Server (Victoria) was exceptional and made our wedding anniversary dinner special. Ended up staying until close and had beautiful conversation with Victoria and owner, wasn't rushed out at all. Ordered the Arancini, Valona Signature salad, Gnocchi Pomodoro Mozz, and lamp chops. 5 layer cake was incredible, tasty and light. Everything was delish! Have seen a few negative reviews but highly recommend you put those aside and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“
“Food and service was excellent!! I had a hard time choosing what to order as everything sounded delicious. The Tuscan Salmon with mashed potatoes and winter vegetables was above my expectations ?? Beautiful place. Will be coming back for sure!“
“My wife and I dined at Osteria for a special occasion and the experience did not disappoint. From the moment we entered the door to the end of our meal we felt welcome and cared for. Our meals were exquisite. This is easily my favorite restaurant in the city now. Bravo to the Osteria team, Chef, and the host Kyle. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Picture the quintessential neighborhood corner sandwich shop of your dreams - this is it. This is the spot. Found it today and knew at first menu glance it’d be dope. The daily specials (kielbasa & egg sandwich, and Italian melt) were great and already thinking about the next ones I want to try (ex. The Bobby). Slaw, pickle, and Vietnamese iced coffee were great too!The place was happily busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon - line inside but I ordered ahead online since I was walking my dog, and their service was great — I literally stepped inside and within 2 seconds someone came out to greet me, I said I placed order, they said my name and handed me my bag and coffee.I don’t know what we the people of Francisville did to deserve Sandwich Corner Market, but my heart is full (and stomach)(Can you guys maybe make like, a little sandwich sample flight? Like 3 little sliders somehow? I want to try so many at once but can’t be slamming like 3 sandwiches and foresee myself stressing in the future over which 1 sandwich to pick per order)“
“Everything was delicious from the bread to the dessert. The shrimp risotto was excellent. We ordered the meatball app which was served with grated parm and ricotta. Again, delicious. Highly recommend. Prices were reasonable especially for a byob.“
“Delicious food, great portions, and wonderful staff. Can't wait to go backWheelchair accessibility: Mom's birthday lunch. She is in wheelchair for out of house events. Access to buildings was great, and not all places have this conveniently accessible“
“I've gone to the giant next door plenty of times and never noticed this place until now. Very friendly service with a great atmosphere. I've only tried the cheesesteak, which was very good. I'm going back to try the pizza soon.“
“The food here is outstanding! Service is excellent and the vibe is very chill and cozy. Highly recommend this restaurant. Also, I love that it's BYOB, so bring a bottle of wine! FYI it's likely you will need a reservation (esp. on weekends).“
“We had a delicious meal here! Highlights were focaccia with whipped ricotta, the squash pasta (forget the fancy namebut it’s the interesting shaped one below), and the chocolate mousse cake. Service was great too! We were originally slotted to have an outdoor table but they were able to squeeze us indoors. Would definitely come back.“
“The white cheesesteak pizza is our Friday night staple. My kids told me to write that it is slammin. Honestly though, you guys are killing it. Quality food, great service and an overall great spot. Glad to see you so busy on a Friday night ❤️“
“Have been here in Roxborough 2 years but never really saw the place until I found it on Google maps. It's a little unassuming on the outside but is really nice on the inside. I think they need a big, bright sign out front facing the street directly.Excellent food. Came for breakfast. Not too salty and they make a great hollandaise sauce. Had the stuffed french toast and crab portobello benedict. Will be back to try lunch and dinner, as well!Prices were good. The food is well portioned. You won't leave hungry.Service is great too. Multiple people checked on us. They check on you consistently for water and coffee. It was busy but we didn't have to wait too long to sit. We also didn't wait too long for food (maybe 15 minutes after order) but they brought our drinks of course within 5. Food came out hot.Can't wait to go back! Definitely recommendDietary restrictions: There is fish on the menu and also a vegetarian burger.“
“Literally if you live anywhere near fish town Come here !!! My fiancé and I got the meatballs and ricotta for an app AMAZING tasted like moms meatballs .. we ordered and spilt the tagliatelle with filet and truffles OH MY GOD ! My taste buds are SCREAMING I am 100% Italian and know flavors but this right here MANNNNN best thing I’ve eaten in a long long time ! Bartenders are so attentive and the atmosphere is awesome !!! Check this place out yalllll amazing“
“GO TO ELMA! Seriously I cannot say enough great things about this place. My wife and I went for her birthday last August and had such an amazing time that we decided to go again for my birthday this week. Both services were truly outstanding. The seatings are so intimate and personal that it literally feels like Chef James and his team are cooking for you in their own home. They go above and beyond in their service and the quality and creativity of the food. You can taste just how much passion there is in this tiny little spot. But the real standout for us is that they will make modifications based on dietary restrictions. My wife is pescatarian, and so we are often at the mercy of restaurants with this format. But Chef James not only caters to her needs, he specifically crafts incredible dishes exclusively for her. If we could afford it, we’d eat here every month. Seriously, GO TO ELMA!“
“Bacio strikes again! Kudos to our friends Pam and Chef Robert! Thier pre-cooked Valentine's Day Dinner for 2 was amazing! From the salads all the way thru to the desserts, every course was fantastic. And the best part is that the portions were large enough that we will switch our entrees and get another full meal out of it! Thanks again for a great dinner!“
“Very good Cheesesteaks. Great place to order out, or eat in whenever that crumb bum Mayor Kenny and Wolf stop playing games with people and stop trying to destroy businesses. 4 th time ordering. Try the Cooper sharp wit fried onions. Best fried mozzarella I ever had.“
“One of Philadelphia's charms is its wealth of neighborhood bistros representing regional Italian cuisines. Core de Roma is such a restaurant. Arrive early, as we did, before the place begins to fill up, and you'll meet Luigi, a loquacious, bushy-eyebrowed native of Trastevere who exudes justified pride in his food and his restaurant.This quirky BYOB, perched in the prosperous hills of Bala Cynwood, greeted us with warm, freshly baked bread accompanied by a plate of olive oil, sage, and white beans for dipping. Many delights followed: abundant, freshly made fettucine alla Bolognese; creamy, al dente spaghetti caccio e pepe; a simple, voluptuous tiramisú. Not everything was perfect; such a good restaurant should offer a decent espresso. Still, the pleasures of a small family restaurant, aspiring albeit uneven, far outweigh its odd deficiencies. The left-over fettucine was even better the next day, reminding us to return soon. See you there.“
“Our server Ella was great, she took initiative to bring champagne glasses with her when greeting our table and followed with an ice bucket for our bottle with out being asked. She was knowledgeable about the menu and followed up frequently throughout our meal. The courses arrived quickly for service at 7pm on a Friday night. The food good. Suggestions would be for crostini or crackers with the antipasta and tuna tartar.“
“We had a great experience at Tulip! I want to come back every time they rotate the menu to try the new dishes. Our waitress told us about the family style option (forget exactly what it was called but it was $55 per person), so we went with that so that we could taste a bunch of dishes. Best gnocchi I’ve ever had. And the food didn’t feel heavy, which was nice. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs, who were not only skilled, but also kind, which made the whole experience even more special. Thank you!“
“We ate here while staying at the Mint for a birthday. We had a good time and the food was good but felt that it was a little over priced (i.e. $42 for an eggplant parm dish and over $100/person without alcohol). Staff was friendly but felt maybe a little under experienced/trained. Timing between courses was a little off (very long between one and then others right away). Cleanliness was perfect but noticed a lot of chipped dishes. Atmosphere was cozy with very comfortable seats. Overall we're glad we experienced it, would recommend to others but may/may not return.“
“Wonderful restaurants with excellent authentic Italian food. The grilled calamari will be ordered every time I visit! The broccoli rob is super tender, the house made pasta is outstanding and my branzino was perfection. I'm so pleased that the patrons in this size restaurant were all using indoor voices!Dietary restrictions: The staff is very aware of a celiac diet.“
“Food is really good I got the fettuccine Alfredo, I got a small pizza half pep that they forgot to deliver with door dash. And a cake … my dasher went out of his way to go all the way back to the store which he didn’t have to do. But a hour later we received the pizza cold as ever but it was still good. I just wish the pizza store would have cooked us a fresh pizza since they forgot to give it to the dasher. But other then that I will be back in person for more food“
“Augusto's remains one of the best restaurants in the area. I hadn't been in a few years, but the food is excellent, creatively prepared, and affordable. We had the specials, which were amazing ( lobster bisque—George Perrier's recipe, which I had years ago at Le Bec Fin-the duck, and homemade gnocchi). Delicious. Excellent coffee too ( too full to try dessert!). Very attentive, friendly service. We'll be back!“
“best hoagie place in fishtown/nolibs. Liberty kitchen is a museum of millennial cringe and they charge double what castellinos does for a product that is half as good. This place rules and honestly nothing in the entire city compares, the cheesesteak at Angelo’s and the roast pork at John’s dont hold a candle to the Franklin or the aunt Lucy“
“Our daughter got married at Arch St Meeting House recently. OC Pizza was the perfect nearby neighbor for the rehearsal dinner. Everyone was so accommodating, food was delicious (10 pizzas delivered fresh from the oven). We were at the Wyndham; we and many wedding guests ate sooo many meals here in the ensuing days. Pizza, lasagna, Greek salad--so many great menu choices. And the staff--delightful! We'll be back.“
“Not a big foodie, but it wasn't badGot the top floor to ourselves, so we were allowed to ask Alexa for any song we wanted ?Unfortunately, this also meant the waiter had to go up 2 flights of stairs to get to us, however she was a good sport about it, and we enjoyed our meal. Great chicken“
“Always busy for a reason! Went here twice with groups of people and every single person always says the same thing. Wow everything on the menu is amazing and perfect cooked. Get Italian, get a cheesesteak, must try the fried mozzarella, just keep going back and trying everything!Waitress always patient and helpful to everyone in the group, front desk keeps everything moving quickly and they turn tables extremely fast once the parties leave but people tend to linger after eating all this amazing food, it will be worth the waitParking: Lot might be full but there's a good size lot on premisesKid-friendliness: Always families in here“
“I will warn that it is very much pizza shop vibe as far as aesthetics.. but I must say I have heard nothing but absolutely raving reviews about their food and I was not disappointed! The pizza crust was out of this world with options you don’t see everywhere, like cacio e pepe, and their cocktails are fun and delicious! Also 48263929 bonus points for bringing a cake out with a candle when all I did was click “Birthday” on Resy. I have NEVER had a restaurant do this! Also music was trendy. 10/10 would recommend. Come during the week when it’s slow for optimal comfort! We will be back ?“
“The food, service and ambiance of this restaurant were excellent! All went above and beyond expectations. Very authentic, delicious Italian food, with very attentive and friendly staff, working hard for their customers. Coming here for dinner was a wonderful way to end my visit to Philadelphia!“
“I am thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious. I GRUBHUB the food. The packing was perfect. The food was hot and very tasty wasn’t salty,. I’m thoroughly impressed. I got the vegetable lasagna and it was delicious.!! Wow, very impressive veryVegetarian options: The vegetarian lasagna was absolutely wonderful. The salad was delicious. The lettuce was crisp. The tomatoes was crisp. Everything was delicious. This place is awesome.. my first time and it won’t be my last“
“Wow! This place is amazing, if not a little loud. Food, service(by Brian! And others) was excellent! We had the Margherita pizza with fennel sausage on half; tomato sauce is smooth, lower acid and very rich tasting. The crust, with its smoky, blackened edges is over the top! The paper & crayons were a big hit with the little one.“
“Excellent BYOB restaurant. Authentic food. The experience of the 3 or 4 courses is just amazing. Great service and attention. I would only suggest (if possible) to offer a smaller plates option of the same menu. Portions are abundant, so be sure to be hungry hehehe.“
“What a phenomenal find! The bar (craft cocktails), building, restaurant is gorgeous. Old stone mixed with modern posh amenities. The food is TRUE & authentic Italian- my son closed his eyes at bread course (grilled Roman bread with ricotta & honey for A Scarpetta) and said, “mom this tastes like Italy!” We shared and tasted so many things, antipasto, starters, the salads were fresh, perfect vinaigrettes, the pastas & sauces all legit, homemade from scratch and perfectly Al dente. They dry-age their beef too which is exceptional. For dessert we had tiramisu budino & affogato- a perfect ending. We will be back and would recommend to friends. The staff was great too, just the right amount of attentiveness. It was a joyful & delicious experience at Tresini.“
“Amazing meal served well by Crysta. Crysta made the Salmon special sound so good I had to try it. It did not disappoint. Salmon, grilled to perfection, placed on a bed of spinach, topped with crab and asparagus. Smothered in the most amazing cream sauce. Best meal I had on my short stay in Philadelphia.“
“Old fashioned taste with old fashioned service. With a modern flavor in selection.The owner and his family go the extra mile to give you the best experience with a smile.The pizza quality is definitely there you can taste the fresh ingredients in the sauce and the taste of grande cheese is definitely on their pizza.The Owner And His family definitely are doing things right.Pizza so crispy so good.Try it ,Taste the difference.I stumbled by this place accidentally just driving through the Area...Parking: Plenty of parking on both sides of the establishment.Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly,no nonsense place, conservative and respectfulWheelchair accessibility: There is a sidewalk and the ability to come in with a wheelchair is easy. There are plenty of tables to be able to accommodate specific needs. The waitress and staff are very accommodating.“
“Born and raised in Philly and this is the best cheesesteak I've ever had. Absolute must try if you want a cheesesteak in Bucks County. I can only imagine how good the Seafood must be. Family owned small business. I will be recommending to everybody I know. 10/10“
“I went in because I was craving chicken wings and ordered a platter with cheese fries on the side-very tasty and crispy just wish they had coleslaw, which is something they don't offer here because it's not in demand, I guess im different as I love a side of slaw to balance the meal? regardless still a nice lil spot and will be ordering from here whenever I feel the desire for wings!“
“Had a delicious dinner here with my 18 year old son on a trip to Philadelphia. We stopped in because it was close to our hotel, but the food was wonderful. We talked with one of the owners, Manny, as he told us the specials. He clearly loved what his restaurant offered the public. Huge portions and great value - my bottomless-pit son enough left with a full stomach!“
“DELICIOUS food, ABUNDANT portions, and EXCELLENT service!! We went with a large group, which they accomodated with ease including splitting checks AND meals. Everyone enjoyed everything from the bread and olive oil, to the complimentary appetizer plate, to the FANTASTIC meals! My son got the ravioli, which was great, but there were only 5 or 6, not quite enough for a teenage boy! Luckily my SHARED eggplant parm (served to each of us separately) had MORE than enough spaghetti for him as well. It is BYOB, but they provided a wine opener and glasses, and truly the upside is you can save the restaurant mark-up and enjoy your favorite wine! It's definitely a place you might drive on past, nestled in a strip mall with the in and out market and pepperidge farm store, but appearaces are QUITE deceiving, and i think it's VERY safe to say try it... you'll like it!!“
“I LOVE this place!!! Outstanding food, cooked to order: all specialty items that sing to your senses. I could make a meal of the rosemary focaccia alone! Exceptional selection of items to purchase as well: all from Italy ?? and premium picks.“
“We have dined here many times and have never had a bad meal. They have a very nice menu, with lots of varieties, as well as several specials. We have enjoyed both regular menu items, as well as dinner specials. We also discovered that you can switch up an entree if you prefer -- swap out a pasta/sauce combo for another. Makes it great to customize your food preference. Just be aware that the rooms can get "noisy" as parties are close together (it's an intimate setup) and as you as you are aware of this, no problems. Also be patient as the servers cover a lot of tables and you may need to flag down the busboy for help with getting a beverage refill. It's a BYOB so be aware of that too.“
“Food was delicious aw always. I took a friend to the the restaurant for her birthday and she loved everything we ordered . Our waitress Dominique was phenomenal. Dominque was very knowledgeable about the our food choices and very charismatic.“
“It's not a typical strip mall restaurant. We decided last minute to go here and were pleasantly surprised. Arrived just after opening and initially felt under dressed, but after the owner greeted us, we quickly forgot our discomfort as we took in the nicely decorated room and tables. The menu has plenty of options, including a list of specials plus a few items he mentioned that weren't listed but may have been because it was the Friday after Valentine's Day. We opted for the Veal Parm. My husband got the Clams Casino appetizer, which he said was the best he's ever had. The salad with house dressing was packed with veggies along with the lettuce, and the house dressing was definitely not from a bottle. My barley soup was flavorful as was everything we had. The large piece of veal was sliced thin, which may have made it not as tender as it could have been, but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the seasoned mixed veggies I chose instead of the pasta. The tiramisu is a cake version but very good. That and the chocolate cake do have a liquor flavor added to them, which is strong but not overpowering to me, but may be for some. We will definitely return to try something new.“
“First time here. Food was good, but really expensive. Menu specifies no modifications or substitutions, with a quote from the owner, saying "don't break my balls". Classy. If I'm paying almost $100 for a steak, I'd like it the way I want it. Service was very good. Friendly staff.“
“Had to give it a try, heard good things. Cheesesteak is worth the trip. Pizza is good, it's good pizza. I like a thinner crust but that's my personal choice. Quality ingredients . The chicken parm is tasty. I love the seeded rolls, takes it up a level. This is a 15 min drive from my house and will make the trip for the delicious cheesesteak . Called the order in route and everything was ready when I got there. Pricing was good. Sandwiches big enough to share.“
“I used to come here 30 some years ago when it was Sonoma. It has been several other restaurants through the years but this is the best by far. There are 2 bars. One on the first floor that has retractable windows to open up to the outside. Then there is my favorite bar upstairs. Light, airy, nicely painted walls with olive leaves and glass ceiling.There is a happy hour Monday to Friday, 4 to 6pm. All their signature crafted cocktails are $7 and they are delicious. Our bartender, Jeff, was welcoming and very knowledgeable about his craft. Love that they use a lot of local products. There are other drink options (see my menu photo below) and fun food items. We ordered 2 pizzas (shrimp and artichoke and the pepperoni). Both were fabulous.I will be returning again for their in house made pasta and I can't wait.Parking: People often think that parking is difficult in manayunk but there are plenty of options in the nearby lots if you can't get one on the street.“
“Really like this cafe. My main criticism is that I find it inconsistent. I've been a few times by now, and love that many of their pastries change every week. Overall, they taste good, but the proofed goods consistently have a yeasty after taste in my opinion. I enjoy their breakfast sandwich as well, but on some weekends it is cooked better than others. Ice cream 10/10. Flavors are awesome and texture truly is the one of Italian ice cream. If you think of visiting with small children/stroller know it is possible but the space is small and might feel too busy on a weekend.“
“What a wonderful experience we had! The food was delicious. I started with the arugula salad and had the ziti puttanesca for my entrée. I also had the banana and caramel dessert. My friend loved the corn chowder, which was a special and she had the sausage cavatelli. It is a relatively high noise level, but it didn't matter. The food and service were both excellent. Note that this is a BYOB.  I can't wait to go back!“
