“Our local bowling league got delivery from Brothers for our end-of-year holiday party, and everything was excellent! We got pizzas, Italian hoagies, meatballs and chicken parmesan with pasta, and a tray of salad. The pizza crust was nice and fluffy. I hope our league sticks with this place for next year too!“

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 care and concern for my Dad’s well being did not go unnoticed and was appreciated! Will definitely be in again! Thank you for a great evening!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Some places serve food. Others serve something deeper.

In a town like Havertown, where connection isn’t just a word but a way of life, Julian has quietly built something special. Not loud, not flashy, just intentional in all the right ways.

From the first bite, you feel it. Appetizers that are fresh, thoughtful, and honestly hard to ignore. Entrées that go beyond flavor and land somewhere closer to care. There’s a depth here that mirrors the community itself, subtle, refined, and rooted.

And the octopus? Perfectly prepared. The kind of dish you’d expect in a Michelin-star setting, yet somehow it feels even more meaningful here.

Because what sets this place apart isn’t just technique. It’s heart. Every flavor carries that unmistakable Havertown spirit, warm, connected, and built on something real.

This isn’t just dinner. It’s what happens when food meets community in its purest form.“

“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!“

“One of the greatest day. WATCHING EAGLES ON so many large TVS. While eating greatest food. Pizza is off the charts. Cannot wait to go back“
