Also, this place was featured in Rocky Balboa and Creed as Adian's Restaurant. This place is definitely worth a visit. Recommend having a reservation.“

“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!“

“Came in from Denver and was craving some great Italian. They did not disappoint! Service was excellent. Food was amazing! Clams Casino and Meatballs appetizer set a high bar for the rest of the meal, and they nailed it. Seafood ala Scannichios and the NY strip longjohn were hugely portioned and delicious. Others in our party had the Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parm and a few others- and they raved about them. Tiramisu and Bananas Foster were sublime. The owner Christian and his family really made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back on future trips.“

“The food was outstanding, I had the eggplant & burrito appetizer and the fusilli with crab and cherry tomatoes in a broccoli pesto sauce...delicious. And always my end to a great m a also is a dessert. I am seeker of great tira misu, and their's was outstanding as well and homemade as everything else had been.

“I had dinner at La Sera the other day and was impressed. The appetizers were delicious--we had the calamari, cozze, and mushrooms. All were delicious, but the mushrooms were phenomenal. For entrees, our table had the ribeye, veal ripieno, spaghetti and meatballs, and ravioli rosa. Everyone loved their food.

And I must give a special shout out to Meritan. I realized the next day that I left my hat at the restaurant and I had already left for the airport to return to Florida. I connected with Meritan who I coordinated with to have it shipped to my house.

In all, La Sera offers delicious food and service from good people. I will certainly be back.“

“As per always, our eating experience was outstanding in every way. We enjoy bringing friends here, as each and every one of them also enjoys the meal and the service (shout out to Carlos?). Every dish is delicious, there are no wrong picks.“

“We used Pepperoncini as the on-site catering for our wedding in Exton. Tom and his team did an AMAZING job! Our guests raved about the delicious food. The service by Tina and Alyssa at the event was exceptional. Tom worked with us to plan a day that we wanted. We would 100% recommend Pepperoncini for all of your catering needs. They took our event to the next level. The food is first-class all the way!“

“Nice place to enjoy a great dinner. BYOB“

“10/10 do recommend. Excellent pup cup served. Filled to the top and swirled with love. Non dairy so belly doesn’t get upset. Mom loves their coffee and generally picks up some baked goods as well. I can generally convince her to share. My favorite is the lemon cake.“

“A group of 10 of us met here yesterday for lunch. The food was absolutely fantastic and the owner and staff are the best!! Multiple people said this is the best(fish,ravioli chicken)I’ve ever had. This will be our place to get together from now on!! Thanks for having our loud bunch and coming out to be loud with us😀“

“A charming spot with the warmest people with olde school Italian food that hits the mark. Buona Sera Havertown has a warm welcoming atmosphere, excellent staff and a great menu of everyone’s favorites. Since 2022, this throwback has been a favorite in town. The shrimp pastas was excellent But the hit was the Scaloppine Alla Cardinale veal scaloppine sauteed with white wine, prosciutto, mozzarella and topped with roasted peppers.. The menu includes enough veal, seafood, chicken, sausage, and steak entrees to make choosing just one a challenge. Oh and yes the calamari and fresh mozzarella apps were bellissimo! Homemade desserts galore…need more reasons to go? No.“

“Always good. Easily the best restaurant in DelCo.“

“cute little establishment & freindly staff! the Italiano sandwich was to die for! 10/10“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food is outstanding—everything from the authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and rich, flavorful sauce, to the homemade pasta and classic Italian dishes was absolutely delicious. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the flavors speak for themselves. But what really made our night special was the amazing service at the bar, thanks to Nick and Jack. These two are hands-down some of the best bartenders in Newtown Square! Not only are they knowledgeable about cocktails, wine, and beer selections, but they also make every guest feel like a regular. Their energy, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart. Whether you’re looking for the perfect craft cocktail or just great conversation, Nick and Jack make the bar experience at Carmine’s unforgettable. If you’re in the Newtown Square area and looking for delicious Italian food, a great bar, and top-tier service, Carmine’s is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Tonight was our 1st experience here celebrating boyfriend’s birthday. The waitress was awesome at suggesting dishes and friendly. We felt like home, the customers from another table sang happy birthday song too. Overall, the food was professional tasty and melt our hearts. Totally recommend :)

Parking: The parking lot is at the back of the restaurant if there’s not enough parking in front of the restaurant!“

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

“The BEST piece of steak i have ever eaten, melted in my mouth!!!!!“

“Excellent cute Italian restaurant. We have been to a few in the city and this one was amazing. We really felt at home. Such a cute well decorated and authentic atmosphere. Alberto our server was very friendly and went above and beyond to take care of me and my fiancé. He had excellent recommendations. If you are looking for a cute Italian restaurant to visit when you’re in Philadelphia look no farther than Bistro La Baia.“

“Talluto's is AMAZING!!!!! So worth the 45 minute drive. My favorites are the cheese balls, stuffed peppers, Old World Italian hoagie, butternut squash raviolis, cheese manicotti, broccoli rabe raviolis and Veal raviolis. The staff is WONDERFUL, very friendly and helpful!! Can't say enough!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“I was at the restaurant with my husband Jeff to celebrate my cousin Kristy’s graduation to be a doctor in Psychology. The appetizers wine my pasta primavera was delicious. They give big portions which I had to take home. It was a great time to be with family this afternoon!!!!“

“Whenever we drive to NJ from VA, we go a bit out of our way to stop at Botto’s. We always buy sweet Italian sausage links, among other items. The plain cheesecake is to die for, so creamy and delicious. I’m ecstatic that it is gluten free!! Thank you, Botto’s!“

“We have been driving to Cape May from Quakertown for decades, 20+ years ago and about halfway was Vesuvio Ristorante, so we stopped in to grab a bite. I was greeted by Robert the owner. The guy truly appreciates your business and understands you have choices! Robert knew we were either opening or closing our summer home and he was always easy to have a conversation with. They are the definition of a hard-working American family and business owners.“

“I was so excited to dine at Her Place Supper Club. The food, ambiance and service were exactly what I expected. I can only give 4 stars on food, however, because the scallops had grit in them. I thought it was just my dish and didn’t want to complain, but on the way home, my friend told me her scallops had grit too. That’s a shame. Other than that, it was a fantastic dining experience.“

“Took advantage of a Too Good to Go (get the app!) offer while on vacation in Philly. So glad I did. The pasta was perfect and the pesto absolutely ruined me for all other pestos. Seriously, I have contemplated the 3 hour drive for just that pesto. Super friendly staff as well!“

“Piazza Napoli is an all-around great pizza parlor! They offer takeout, but also dine-in, and you can reserve for pizza party. Their delicious upside down pizza is our family fave, yummy inside outs, along with tomato pie. Prompt service, has been consistently ready on time for pick up. (We have not tried delivery.). Menu has so much to offer, everything has been tasty. Give 'em a try!“

“One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! Everything was delicious. Roz and Rocco's chef is a pro, and the waitress was congenial, and on point! The restaurant is a whimsical, eclectic blend that combines a traditional "family home style" celebratory vibe showcasing the owner's Italian grandmother's recipes. I am a salmon snob, and "Roz and Roccos" delivered: my salmon was cooked to perfection with that delicious crispy top layer that I love. The fresh charred, roasted broccoli had that brilliant green color with the right amount of tenderness and crispiness that made it so yummy. Our table of seven agreed that the food was bursting with unique flavors, as we passed around our plates to sample the entrees. Rox and Rocco's is a festive restaurant and I could feel "Grandma's love" with every bite.. So glad we picked this restaurant for Mother's Day.“
