“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.“

“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. But I must know if the tira misu was made with mascarpone. Please ler me know. I will definitely come again!“

“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!“

“Awesome good. Never seen a happy hour with such great choices and the food was fantastic.“

“This is our first time to Philadelphia and we are big Stallone/Rocky fans so we were excited to try this restaurant where some of Rocky Balboa and Creed was filmed. This was one of the best dining experiences with phenomenal entrees, excellent staff, beautiful atmosphere and amazing entertainment with the wait staff breaking into operatic song!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“Do yourself a favor; invite 4-5 friends bring a nice bottle of wine and you will have a wonderful evening. Don’t be afraid to simply order the specials.“

“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!“

The food was creative, seasonal, fresh; the staff friendly and personal; and the intimate yet casual atmosphere made it feel like we were having an exclusive dinner-for-two. Highly recommend!“

“Best food and customer service in Delco, hands down. If you haven't tried Fourno and you live in Delco, you're missing out“

“Elvis and his team do an amazing job! The food is delicious. They change the menu with the seasons which is always fun! My wife have gone every time they change the menu and each time we are thrilled! Everything is fresh and meticulously crafted.

The service is impeccable! You are never waiting or wanting for anything, but the staff isn't in your face about it. They've found the perfect balance and are thriving! It's the best service I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. I highly recommend Ombra!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The $10 quick spot is the best lunch deal in town.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“I love Talluto’s. After moving this summer, Talluto’s might be the one thing I miss most about Delco. The food is always incredible. Highlights are the hoagies, mozzarella balls, and stuffed long hots. My mouth is watering as I’m typing this. God, I miss Talluto’s.“

“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!“

“This was our second visit to David and his wonderful restaurant. We had family from overseas and brought them to experience this restaurant. David was his usual friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious and the portions were quite large. Will definitly be back again !!“

“Vibes were most excellent. I was a little disappointed by the lack of Apple Juice on the menu but my server Isabelle more than made up for it. She helped me find a suitable substitute that matched perfectly with the selection of appetizer’s. Will definitely be back, and hungry!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“

“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.“
