“Big shoutout to Giordano’s!! My husband and I had a small courthouse wedding and had about 15 people come to dinner afterwards in one of the private rooms. We were promptly greeted and the manager came in to greet us as well and gave my 2 year old nephew a giant cookie to keep him occupied while we got settled in. All of the staff was very helpful and attentive. They made sure to meet all of our needs and double check that there was no alcohol in one of the entrees sauces and even had it remade to make sure for us. The bartender came over and helped us wrap up our leftover cake so we could save it for our one year anniversary as well. All around a wonderful experience. I haven’t been since before renovations when I worked there and was impressed with all of the updates. It is more modern but still comfortable and the food is absolutely wonderful! As a large group, we ordered quite the variety of entree’s and they were all wonderful! Thank you Gios for a wonderful day my husband and I will never forget!“

“The owners are really nice and serve all of the food themselves.

The bread is great and the sauce was really flavorful. The arrancini balls were good.

The pasta was a bit dense and the gnocchi had a slightly weird taste to it.

The carpet makes the restaurant feel very mildewey and has a smell to it.“

“As always a traditional delicious Italian meal.“

“Update. Im glad we went back that must have been an off day in April.
We went today June 8th 2026
It was again incredibly good you can even tell by the added photo it’s a way better product.
Will keep updating this but when it is made like it was today this is our fav place.
(It was a little burned on one side I know Im a little picky but buying food out cost so much money ☹️)

Went about April 5th 2026 for the 1st time it was the best Italian Stromboli!
Just got one early May 2026 it had hardly any flavor and little meat no sauce inside of it as stated in the menu. And the bottom taste burned very sad it’s not consistent.
definitely will try again and hope they read this.

Maybe it be consistent again. 💔 I won’t give up but this wasn’t very good this day.“

“Love a place that doesn’t close at 10 and serves food late, AND good food at that! I ordered the Philly Steak and enjoyed it a lot. The roll was amazingly soft and fresh. The meat was chopped good and flavored well and it all came together deliciously. I would have enjoyed a tad more meat but there was enough that I’d didn’t make me put it all into one half. 8/10. Id surely go back. Only thing I’d suggest is a better IPA on tap such as Fiddlehead.“

“Gnocchi were delicious. Next time there I'm getting something with meatballs. Friend gave me a bite of her's and it was perfect.“

“Love the pizza and wings, and the meatballs are delicious“

“The stromboli was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! The owner was busting his tail getting food out. Will definitely be back!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Santino’s Tap & Table in West Chester PA. I went of a mini vacation to visit some friends in that area. I was starving when I got off of the plane, and met my friends outside of the airport. When I got into the car I made a comment about being a tad hangry haha. I was then told we have the perfect place for you. My friends took me to Santino’s Tap & Table and let me tell you it was amazing in every way possible. The restaurant was very clean, nicely set up and the staff were very friendly and very informative when asking questions about the menu. This place has it all appetizers, entree’s, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, soup and salads, a brunch menu, breakfast and even a children’s menu for the kids in your family that are picky eaters. Speciality cocktail menu, along with a full bar with knowledgeable bar tenders. I started off with a water, then decided on a Blood Orange Bourbon Sour it was perfectly balanced and a very good drink to chose. Looking through their Winter Menu they had a wide variety to chose from. For and appetizer i chose the Shrimp Lejon it was so delicious! For my main dish of the night I decided to try the Short Rib& Portabella Mushroom Ravioli hands down one of the best things I have tasted. The service was fast and efficient, the staff was so nice and knowledgeable. I left very impressed, with a full stomach and was fully satisfied. If I’m ever in the area again I will definitely make it a priority to stop by Santino’s Tap& Table. Go check it out for yourself, you will not regret it!“

“My family of 15 traveling back to Massachusetts from Tennessee stopped here for dinner. Food and service were great. They were the only place in town open for sit down that could fit us all in. The staff went out of their way for us. Food was great. Some "Karen" tried to ruin it for everyone in the place but was handled so greatly by the staff. Thank you for the great meal and not letting one person ruin your moods. ❤“

“I have been a loyal customer of America's Pie since they opened their doors in 2010, and I was thrilled to learn that they had reopened after their recent fire. My family and I decided to stop by for dinner, and we were not disappointed. One of the things I love about America's Pie is that there is nothing you can go wrong with on their menu. From their delicious pizza to their mouth-watering sandwiches and wings, everything is simply outstanding. Personally, I can never resist ordering the Thomas Wynn sandwich and the Honey Chipotle Wings, which are deeeeelicious! What I appreciate most about America's Pie is their unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality food and excellent customer service. Despite the recent setback of the fire, the restaurant and staff have bounced back stronger than ever, and it's clear that their loyal customer base has remained intact. If you are looking for great food, I highly recommend giving America's Pie a try. With their diverse menu of delectable dishes and welcoming atmosphere, you simply can't go wrong.“

“We have loved enjoying the delicious food at Cafe Valentina. We have been coming here for more 15 years. We feel like we are dining at one of the finest restaurants in Italy. We were missing Fortuna and Giuseppe for the past six months but finally tonight we had the pleasure to see them at the restaurant. Everyone should come here and enjoy their delicious food. It is real Italian food and they have good prices.“

“I really enjoyed the grilled chicken salad because it had a lot of veggies and wasn't just lettuce. I also really enjoy getting the penne with meatballs in blush sauce because the dish is so full of flavor.“

“❤️Oh my goodness! We’ve always loved Casa Italia. Their food is delicious, and their staff are very friendly and courteous. They are our go-to restaurant for ordering pizza and more. So when I saw a FB post asking about pizza place recommendations of course I said Casa Italia! 🙌🏻 🍕 Then tonight we placed a pizza order and what a sweet gift! Surprise Cannolis! 🌸If you haven’t ordered from Casa Italia yet, you’re missing out! Not only is their menu fantastic, but they truly care about their customers. We love Casa Italia!“
