Villa di Roma Reviews
Been eating there since I was a kid with family in the market. Now live in Key West for last 30 years but specifically make sure each time I come up to see family I go to Villa Di Roma, clams casino, asparagus, gravy and the people there that run it all family. Amazing piece of the food history of the Italian market that is a must try anytime.
The food is excellent !!!!!
just left restaurant after waiting 25 minutes and only being acknowledged by bartender who was very friendly. I wanted a table. Nobody asked me anything but the bartender. As I left, half of the right hand dining room was empty. I will never come back again

Villa di Roma is a classic spot serving authentic Italian food with a lot of flavor and a true south Philly experience. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices, although it's cash only. The menu features delicious dishes like shrimp scampi, clams, chicken parm, and garlic bread, all made to perfection. The sauce is excellent, and the tiramisu is a must-try. Customers highly recommend the clams casino, asparagus, and gravy. The lobster franchise is described as the best ever had. Ravioli, baked rigatoni, tuna Sicilian, and meatballs are also highlighted, with the meatballs being a definite star, noted as the best meatballs ever eaten. The spaghetti and sausage is excellent, with perfectly tender pasta and flavorful meat. The restaurant has a full bar, and the service is great, with staff members providing excellent service. It's a great value for the price, making it a worthwhile wait for a table. Many visitors enjoy eating at the bar and have friendly chats with the bartender. The veal Sicilian is highly recommended, and some guests take home marinara to enjoy later. The decor has an old-school feel, reminiscent of a mob movie or Frank Sinatra, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. Overall, the food feels like it was cooked by "Nona," making every meal special.
