Restaurants near Villanova

“Great made-to-order spicy Chicken cutlet sandwich on a long roll, and sweet chile wings! Both were delish! and my sons both loved what they got. Next time you're getting wings or having people, check out Charlies in Villanova! So good!”

“Delicious coffee and treats, yummy healthy options too. The staff is super friendly. Support local businesses!”

“Legit, real deal pizza and cheesesteaks. I grew up on this stuff in the Philly area - but moved to Texas. Great find while on a business trip. Would love to make this a regular stop.”

“Great food, great service, great team!”

“My son has a single this year in St. Mary Hall. We couldn't be happier with this dorm. The room has a much larger sink and surrounding counter space than he had last year when he was in Good Council. Nice size closet, desk, and 4 drawer chest. Another plus is that the bookstore and cafeteria are also in this building. He is a sophomore and was very luck to get a single.”

“Very well kept and welcoming place. They offer big portions and for affordable rates. I enjoyed the food very much and the waiters were super welcoming and informative. Will definitely recommend this spot.”

“Have you experienced the new Summer menu yet? Maybe you tried this restaurant on a busy Saturday morning and the long wait for a table then is preventing you from exploring the menu now? This month is a perfect time to visit again - many local customers are off from school, or off on vacation. So wait times are short, while the summer first watch menu is awesome. Enjoy! (It’s always a good idea to use the first watch app to check in, just in case everyone else has also decided this is the perfect time to visit)”

“My wife and I ate here last night (6/27/23), after dropping our son off at St. Joseph's University orientation, and generally speaking, it was fantastic. Our waitress, Jen, was at the forefront of why our experience was so positive. She was attentive, and really engaged us in conversation. We split the cheesesteak eggroll appetizer, which was delicious. For our entree, my wife got a salad with a giant meatball (don't know the name...sorry, LOL). I went with baked lasagna, and I felt the portion was more than enough. I typically finish everything, but we brought a little bit of lasagna home, along with what was left of her salad. We couldn't pass up dessert, and there was a lot to choose from. We settled on the zeppoles, which did NOT disappoint. The 3.5% charge to pay with a card, isn't ideal, but it is clearly stated, on a sign on the hostess station, as soon as you walk in. If that's a possible dealbreaker, there is a cash machine in the restaurant, if you want to pay with cash. We would (and probably will, at some point over the next four years) return!”

“I was visiting Villanova and a good friend brought me to Nova Grill. The owner was over the top nice and accommodating. His Greek Hospitality did shine. Instantly felt like a regular. The place was spotless and well set up. All cleanliness and proper measure were followed perfectly. The food was plentiful, cooked and presented well and hot ( often forgot these days). The Locaniko ( Loukaniko) was spot on in flavor. I will most definitely stop in again when in the area. Highly recommended.”

“D. Burger and fries at $25 extremely overpriced. Otherwise everything was fine”

“The absolute nicest staff you could ever ask for! Kind and accommodating and SO fast! We were in and out very quickly and left with smiles on our faces. I wish more people were that amazing!”

“This place is such a great spot for any occasion, such great food and an amazing vibe, great for a stop in when you’re strolling down main st! Owner is awesome too, helped me shovel my car out when in was stuck in the street, if that isn’t customer service then I don’t know what is!”

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!”

“Our food was delicious, drinks good and great service . Thanks for serving us with our first experience here. Congrats on your opening !!”

“Excellent food and service!!”

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.”

“Excellent spot in the neighborhood serving amazing Yemen food! The service was fast and friendly, making everyone feel so welcome. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced with huge portions. Lamb chops and lamb fahsah were highlights. Will definitely be back!”

“The first time I went there was on the blind date and I did not have a good time. So this time I took my daughter to create a better memory for myself and Local 44 is definitely a vibe.

Laid back in very very nice attempted bartenders and waiters. The kid and I are definitely going back and yes she's 26”

“Johnny's has the best cheesesteaks and square pizza hands down! I love Angelo's, Dough head and John's roast pork but this place is definitely better. I love that you can find parking and actually sit inside and not have to eat in my van at lunch when I'm on the road. Go Johnny Go!!!!”

“Delicious dinner and friendly staff! The burrata salad was very good, a must have! The scallop appetizer was unique and tasty, highly recommend. The Chilean sea bass in truffle sauce was A+++, one of the best I’ve ever had. The dessert at the end make the dinner complete! Compliments to the chef Volodymyr Hyvel! Wonderful experience and atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back.”

“ordered for the first time today. Very good can't wait to try something new next time!”

“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!”

“Our food was fresh, delicious, and healthful. The service was charming. And the space is warm and inviting. We recommend it to everyone!”

“Love it, Love it, Love it. Everything on the menu is delicious and healthy. The staff is amazing. Friendly and fast. You can not go wrong!!”

“Delicious Indian cuisine. I’ve been struggling to find a good Indian restaurant since I moved to the Philly area about 6 months ago, and I mean really struggling. Out of all of the places I’ve tried, Srinagar takes the cake!!! The Chicken Tikka Masala is incredible and is the perfect spice level for a medium. I did only get delivery via a third party service, but would certainly consider eating in next time. Will be eating here again!!!”

“Tried some appetizers & the soup dumpling sampler. Everything was delicious!”

“Fantastic food and service. Favorite burgers and wonderful fries! Healthy options as well.”

“So I thought I was walking into Sweet Green as it was next door and wasn’t paying attention. I ordered a hot honey chicken bowl my go to. Turns out Dig Inn had their own version. Until she made it I was thinking to myself that isn’t what I ordered to figure out I was in the wrong place.
Instead of being mad at myself I decided to try it and I was pleasantly surprised and was not disappointed that I made the wrong turn!
Chef Twee(I think that’s her name) is awesome and I will definitely come back!

Great job y’all!”

“I took my family here for dinner tonight, and the experience was awesome from start to finish. Making the reservation took <1 minute, parking was easy, and for those who enjoy BYOB, there’s a wine and spirits store just two doors down.

The service was outstanding and the food was phenomenal. This place is truly a hidden gem with fair pricing and an excellent menu. My boys, ages 9 and 7, even said it was one of the best places we’ve eaten, which says a lot.

Highly, highly recommended.
