50 Best Italian Restaurants near Upper Darby

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

“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.“

“Best pizza, this pizza is really the best and puts others to shame including dominos. Just taste better go find out yourself
edit: Domino's crust is burnt and barely cheese on it. It's like the pizza is mean and hates you go try it“

“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.“

“Both the food and the service are 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.“

“The good is absolutely amazing“

“Incredible food, wonderful staff and service. We loved our date night here! Highly recommend.“

“Not child friendly need more option“

“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!“

“We love all of the Pier restaurants! Brain and team work hard at making the atmosphere welcoming and their food is creative and delicious!“

“Really great! A very fun dining experience, the flavors are all great. The only thing I didn't like was that some of the first course was shared on plates with another person. I would have preferred all individual settings, even though I know it is a supper club feel.“

“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.“

“We had a great last night in Philly. The food, location, and our server, Tyler was friendly, courteous, and had a good sense of humor to handle 3 Southern woman. Thank you!“

“We've been coming to pep's for over 2 years. The food is incredibly consistent and always tastes great. The service is top notch and the food always comes out quick. We usually have Liv H or her mom and they both are so welcoming, and kind.

We can't recommend this place enough.“

“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!“

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

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“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!“

“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 feels like a restaurant in Paris France but more friendly service and welcoming“

“Great place and great people, if you are in the area you need to check out Tredici Italian Market“

“Too difficult to buy a cup of coffee here, the coffee ordering set up should be in the front, not the back and why is it so dark in the back? I want to like this place but it has no vibe…just the sight of staffers running around. The Hostess always looks bored and the back is like a madhouse. It’s one of the only places to get a cup of coffee ☕ near to Rittenhouse Park but where it’s well lit, it’s a quiet upscale grocery shop but the back feels like you’ve entered a subway station at rush hour!

Not sure what the remedy is but I’d suggest that you open up the front space, remove the annoying velvet rope and stop putting “reserved” signs on all of the tables (just sit people there who want to enjoy a cup of coffee for 15 minutes). This is a beautiful spot, but boy does it stress me out once you walk in the back.

Put on Italian music and hire some drop dead gorgeous guy or gal who knows how to convey ITALIAN WARMTH to customers!!! Every time I walk in the hostess is shy. She should be greeting guests and be IN FRONT, not planted at the podium.

Your restaurant is gorgeous ✨ , but it never feels welcoming 🤷🏽‍♀ it’s bright and pretty but it’s hectic feeling in the back - sorry, someone had to tell you..“

“We were just there to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from TJU. Impeccable service, delicious food and cocktails. Our server, Michael was amazing from start to finish! 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!“

“celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday last night and everything was perfect.“

“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“

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

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

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

“A very good restaurant along Miami Beach.“

“This is my favorite Philly institution. Love the whole staff, Joey’s a mensch. Food you bite and savor, mmmmmmmmmmmMmm. 10/10 already just off these points. What sets it far beyond is its family-style community and badass Italian-American history. Cheers to several more hundred years.“

“Nice place to enjoy a great dinner. BYOB“

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

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

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Love the food and the bar/wait staff are top notch. It’s a great spot to watch football or baseball and even do karaoke!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Dinner was awesome! Delicious. We went here on a whim and dinner was spectacular!“

“A family owned Italian restaurant whose owner is a chef and not just a cook.“
