50 Best Italian Restaurants near Ridley Park

“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 😊🍝.“

“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.“

“Our server, Katiey was pleasant and took care of all of our needs. We had the rigatoni abruzzi and it was excellent along with the delicious bread. Even had enough to take home for next day. Highly recommend!“

“It never disappoints. No matter what you may choose it’s delicious!“

“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!“

“My husband and our 17-year-old went for dinner, everything was absolutely amazing! martinis, old-fashions, appetizers(short rib French fries) omg, amazing dinner, delicious, service wonderful, good job la Padella“

“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!“

“Lovely, low key atmosphere, doting staff, entrees were just the right size. Perfect for date night!. Will be back again soon!“

“Nice place to enjoy a great dinner. BYOB“

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

“Burrata in Havertown never disappoints. Can’t go wrong with specials.“

“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!“

“Had dinner there last night.The Salmon was awesome.Great service and nice atmosphere.The manager couldn't be any nicer.10 stars in my eyes.“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

“Food was so delicious! Wonderful outside balcony seating! Great service? love this place!“

“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.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“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!“

“Best gnocchi in a rosa sauce! Easy online ordering and super friendly staff.“

“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.“

“The food and service is always fabulous! The Blackened Salmon was to die for! A shout out to Riley for being a great server and her recommendation for the salmon! My very favorite restaurant in Philly since 1993!!!“

“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 just ordered Vesuvio's tonight, for a work party & a celebration for an employee promotion. They let me order off the catering menu same day & we got a half tray of Chicken Parm, Shrimp Scampi Pizza, some Linguini w Blush Sauce (I added crab for an additional fee) & Gnocci with Pesto Cream. Let me tell you, every single thing was perfectly executed & delicious. My team felt so special, getting such great food for our gathering. Vesuvio's never disappoints!“

“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!“

“A beautiful restaurant for medium to large parties or a delicious intimate dinner. We had a private birthday brunch for 50 and enjoyed an awesome menu of choices. The staff was great and the dining room is gorgeous. It's BYOB, so we brought beer, wine and stuff for Martinis and Manhattans. Parking is a large lot in the rear. The staff set it all up for us. GREAT place!“

“We are regulars and had a wonderful meal tonight….as usual. The service from Rosy was excellent. She is very courteous, energetic and pleasant. She is knowledgeable of the menu, and explains the specials well. She is attentive, pleasant, and projects a positive image for the restaurant. She is a keeper!“

“We visited Anthony’s Ristorante after a funeral back in May, and the staff was incredibly attentive and kind during a difficult day. The food was very good, and the service throughout the meal was excellent. The bar area was very nice, and I appreciated that we could have coffee whenever we wanted.We were seated in a private room that could use a few touch‑ups on the walls, but it truly didn’t matter in the moment. That was the only minor downside in an otherwise great experience.Overall, Anthony’s provided good food, warm service, and a comfortable place for our family to gather.“

“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!“

“Terrific experience and service, quality food!“

“Went in last night for the first time with the new chef. Amazing! Menu us updated, and food is maybe even better. Same excellent service and welcoming environment. Glad one of our favorites is better than ever.“

“Excellent good & drinks. Great service. Beautiful decor.“

“Consistently good food, great service and a generous pour!“

“We attended a Holiday party there, we were blown away by the atmosphere, food and staff“

“There are a lot of things I love about the food you sell. Great cheese selection though I notice it is getting smaller. I love the bread and rolls, however I have noticed the baugettes have shrunk about 10" and the seeded ones are thinner and overcooked. Love the tomato pie but its taste is not as good as it was a year ago. Roasted peppers are always a favorite along with the sesame chicken and chicken salad and soups. I am disappointed that you no longer carry Serano prosciutto, that was the best, now I have to go elsewhere to get it!“

“I hosted a family Christmas party here on a Sunday from 11am to 2pm. The food and service were outstanding. Nicole was the point of contact as well as the bartender. She did an amazing job. I highly recommend using Dom & Mia's for your next event.“

“Great, tasty food. Wonderful service. Great drinks.“

“It’s the best in DelCo. Always consistently outstanding customer service, fresh prepared masterpieces and the most impressive salads (tuna, chix, etc.) and deli meats around. I have been a loyal patron since 2010 and my family has never been disappointed. These hoagies are stacked and made to order. Sometimes, they’re a little backed up but it’s always worth the wait. Do what I do. Take a walk around the store and pick up a few of the real, imported Italian staples and they even sell Bassett’s pints now. They have Aversa, Liscio and other notable rolls and breads for sale and it’s always fresh.

They make their own sauce and sell that in quarts or pints; also their homemade meatballs, scallopine and soups. Everybody’s happy when it’s Pagano’s. I love those guys!

I no longer live in the Drexel Hill area, but I do make the trip to Pagano’s from no matter how far. And often.

That pasta fagiole is off the hook on a bitter cold day. And don’t forget the egg plant cutlets.“

“Great food but even better customer service!“

“My family really enjoys eating at Felinis. We usually end up choosing whatever special of the day is. It’s such a quaint little restaurant and I love sitting by the window and watching people outside while we eat. The peanut butter bomb is a favorite dessert of mine here!“

“Brother's makes an amazing pizza. It's different, but amazing. I've been ordering the same olive pizza every Saturday night for the past 3+ years. I still look forward to it. I don't know if it's olive oil or garlic, but the sauce is delicious. Kudos to the chef. The staff is friendly and focused. One of the waitresses, Tammy, is a real sweetheart. She can't do enough for her customers. Very accommodating. Brother's has been a Drexel Hill favorite for decades.“

“While working in this industry…. What a pleasure to dine here. The service was amazing and food was delicious. You must have good leadership ❤️ THANK YOU!!!“

“Amazing food for both dinner & catering events. The antipasta tray is unreal and so delicious!!“

“My new favorite place to eat breakfast. All employees are helpful and pleasant. Food is outstanding. Always a pleasure♥“

“Love Spasso’s. Nice friendly staff and the food is always amazing. We love Wednesdays there because we really like the scallop special. Had my birthday dinner here with friends and family in the downstairs room. Love the creme brûlée too.“

“What a treat to get fresh ravioli! And a bonus! They have pistachio gelato. I love the tin ceiling and ambiance. Looks like a place where neighbors come together to enjoy a morning espresso, and get their sandwich or fresh pasta. Friendly service.“

“This is the best of the best! My wife and I are very loyal customers and have always felt welcomed. The food is excellent as well as the service!“

“Food was awesome, even the bread was worth driving up to this area for us. We have been here in the past and we drove up there specifically for father's day so I could get some chicken parm. Huge portions and a crazy good price for the portion size. Highly recommend. Even the mocktail was great“

“Awesome food, a great beer selection and my favorite Margarita Pizza!“

“This place is a staple for the area especially if you need food for a party. You cannot go wrong with Sicilian pizza, appetizers are great, salads are large, and last but not least their grilled chicken is good enough to make you wanna give up trying to perfect it on your own grill because they already did. I personally recommend ordering BBQ grilled chicken from them. You will not be disappointed.“
