50 Best Italian Restaurants near Prospect Park

“fast service and awesome food“

“walked in ordered and hoagie was ready in minutes, staff was friendly shop was clean sammich was excellent 👌“

“atmosphere, service, food-all incredible. Heck I ate here when I was visiting Philly and the meal was so inspiring I moved here. None of this fake trained service, no obnoxiously complicated explanations of the chef or the food, just genuinely kind people serving genuinely good food that doesn’t hide behind any smoke and mirrors. If you haven’t had an amazing time here it’s probably cause you’re not much fun to begin with. Get here, order one of everything, enjoy it, you’ll fall in love.“

“Great restaurant - highly recommended“

“Worth the wait. This was our last Philly Michelin m-starred restaurant to try. It’s the absolute best. The food was extraordinary and I’m already dreaming of my next meal there. My particular favorites included the buckwheat tart with morels and both pasta courses (one was an add on). Sadly I will now never feel satiated unless I’m eating Chef Schulman’s triangoli. A beautiful and intimate space with incredible care by the entire staff. Amanda Schulman was incredibly welcoming and engaged with the diners. Wine pairing was outstanding as was my Negroni made with Bruto Americano. The marzipan rhubarb cake was the stuff dreams are made of. So, so, so happy after this meal. Did I mention? Attentive and wonderful, wonderful staff. Thank you for an amazing evening!“

“My best friend brought me to this hidden gem last summer for my birthday and surprised me with a return visit this year — and I swear, it just keeps getting better. Hands down, this might be the best Italian in Philly. The food doesn’t just sit pretty on the plate — it jumps out, grabs you by the soul, and gives you a warm, savory hug. Every bite is a bold, beautiful explosion of flavor that hits you in the heart and the taste buds. This place isn’t just dinner — it’s a love story in pasta form.“

“I used Johnny Paisano’s to cater a holiday party. I had an amazing experience from the very beginning. I spoke with Christine who helped me place the order, and helped me to decide the best options for my menu. One of my options was a prime rib, where I received a phone call from Johnny himself to help me figure out the best way to prepare it for the party. When it was time to retrieve the food on the day of the party, everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Johnny once again came out and was talking with me about the food. I appreciate this aspect of a business, it makes you feel like you’re in a friendly environment, rather than a sterile kitchen. The food quality was amazing. Every platter was delicious, and every guest was happy with how the food turned out. The prime rib was the largest hit, not surprisingly. I couldn’t believe the value of everything as well. Please use Johnny Paisano’s for your next event, they will not disappoint at all, and will go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met!“

Super cute place with different food items for sale as well as a gelato counter.

But yeah if you live in Philly, let your coffee ☕ here!“

“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!“

“As wonderful as I remember. A true cc gem. Get the tiramisu“

“What a fabulous find in Havertown. My husband and I loved every dish we had - pear salad, quail, and duck. The bread, some of it olive bread, is outstanding. Cheesecake and Citrus Olive Oil Cake completed an original and inspired meal. The staff is as friendly as can be with impeccable service. I felt we made new friends of the staff! We're definitely going back with friends and relatives. BYOB!“

“Was very nice people friendly“

“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.“

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

“Today was the first time that I've been in the store. It smelled heavenly once I stepped in. They had freshly made chicken cutlets, stuffed peppers and mushrooms and delicious looking arancini 😋. We bought their homemade pasta, custom cut to order, and also purchased their bolognese, which is fantastic! I will definitely be going back to Talluto's. They're so friendly and helpful 😊🍝.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“La Sera is a very nice, cozy restaurant with quick and personable service, and delicious food. I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a relaxed italian dinner. Both indoor and outdoor seating are great options during the summer. The New York strip, bruschetta, and chicken milanese are great options.“

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

“My all time favorite Philly restaurant! Delicious food, amazing service, and the best atmosphere in Fitler Square! 10/10!“

“Lovely little restaurant with delicious food. I had the best seafood pasta I have ever had. I’ve had many seafood pastas in Italy, and they don’t even come close. Every piece of seafood was cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicious with a hint of Calabrian chile. Service was friendly and the space was warm and intimate. I would go back for that pasta!“

“Went to Manayunk for dinner on a whim and had a drink and food at Mia Ragazza. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. Larissa at the bar recommended a good light lager with the Margherita pizza and Ceasar style brussel sprouts. Everything was cooked perfectly. Looking forward to future visits.“

“On our way back from doing a last-minute Estimate We had the absolute privilege of being broken down in front of their restaurant! The owner and staff both asked if we needed anything and offered beverages! Very very welcoming establishment, staff, owner! So amazing to be treated so nicely even though we were an inconvenience to parking! Thank you again for your kindness! Mike, Raniyah!“
