50 Best Italian Restaurants near Wyndmoor

“Enza is our spot! Everyone at Enza is friendly, smiling, attentive and just fantastic. We would consider this our goto place for a night out. The bar always is a great place to sit and chat with the locals and neighbors. Pizza is spot on as well as the full thoughtful and tasty menu. They have a complete bar and wine list which just adds to all the fun!“

“The service was phenomenal. The food, delicious. Best italian restaurant in Philly, the closest thing I've seen so far to an authentic italian restaurant in Philly (I stayed in Italy for 6 weeks). We got the tiramisu and gelato, and we got the carbonara and pappardelle al ragù. All of it was just so good. I wanna come back again, but I need to save up for it because it was very pricey. But worth it.“

“Ok so the cheesesteak is definitely than all other pizza shops. It’s about 11” meat is very juicy and flavorful with lots of melted creamy cheese and the onions were caramelized perfectly. I would absolutely give that steak sandwich a 20 out of 10“

“I enjoyed dining at Her Place, I definitely felt like I was having a meal in someone's home. The restaurant is tiny and every table has a view of the kitchen. I dined by myself so I was placed at one of the two window seats. My back was toward the kitchen and I had to turn around each time the chef was describing the dishes. The menu wasn't something I would have normally chosen for myself, it was very seafood focused but it was all around tasty. The main dish was a quail and morels. My favorites of the night were the chicken liver pate with radishes and homemade Ritz cracker. They really did taste like a Ritz but much elevated. My other favorite of the night was the dessert: the rhubarb, cream cheese semi freddo, and meringue was to absolutely die for. You could really taste the cream cheese. Also notable was the sauce Americaine in the quenelle/lobster dish, I wanted to scoop it up and lick the plate. I see people complaining how it wasn't enough food since you had to share, I didn't have this problem, as I was solo and was able to eat full plates of everything. I enjoyed the final touches at the end, giving out cookies and a bag of Chex Mix. Bravo. I'd maybe come back if I were to travel to Philadelphia again. $120 after tax and tip.“

“My girlfriend and I decided to come in for happy hour and I’m so happy we did! The food and cocktails were delicious but we were really blown away by the service. Our server, KB, was incredible. She was on top of everything, knowledgeable, personable, and gave great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Hadn't been in years but glad to have returned. Started with house white wine and a cocktail for hubby. Shared their Caesar salad, then we each had a pasta entre: ravioli with butternut squash and linguin with clams. Also shared a mushrooms side and foccacia. All the food was delicious! Ended with sharing a cannoli and a cappuccino. Overall great experience in a romantic setting (2-person booths in the lower level) with an our wonderful server Rachel.“

“Cozy restaurant with a lot of energy. Hold off on eating the complementary bread because you'll need it for the outstanding mussel appetizer. Another must order is the orecchiette. One of the best pastas I've had in Philadelphia. The lamb shank was just ok. Unfortunately I just recently had it at another Philly restaurant and it was so much better. Barramundi which was a special was a huge disappointment. I've never seen so many things added to a fish dish to overwhelm what I consider to be an amazing fish. This is my second time at this restaurant where the entrees feel short. Stick to the appetizers and pastas. Service was outstanding.“

“I was here in Philadelphia for work and I wanted to find a nice little Italian restaurant and I was NOT disappointed with Little Nonna's. First, they accommodated my friends wife and her wheelchair even though the restaurant is small. And the sign outside said they have the world's best garlic bread and you know what? THEY ARE RIGHT! Comes with fresh roasted garlic! Every dish was delicious, thoughtfully plated and absolutely perfect. We took Cannoli to go and I enjoyed it back at my hotel. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!“

“I ate at L’Anima for the first time last night … it was perfection from the service to the food preparations … I had the Bronzino which was so delicious … their salad special was excellent too … if you’re in Philly check this restaurant out …“

“Always great from the food through the cocktails (who doesn't luv Franky), atmosphere and attentive service! Even the parking lot shines! Shout out to Nicky for being very responsive, and enjoyable to talk too. Perfect for a special occasion or just to have great food. By far one of the top Italian restaurants in Philly!“

“Great food and superb service. Server (Victoria) was exceptional and made our wedding anniversary dinner special. Ended up staying until close and had beautiful conversation with Victoria and owner, wasn't rushed out at all. Ordered the Arancini, Valona Signature salad, Gnocchi Pomodoro Mozz, and lamp chops. 5 layer cake was incredible, tasty and light. Everything was delish! Have seen a few negative reviews but highly recommend you put those aside and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“The service was excellent. The food was also good, we enjoyed the tasting menu which had some surprising dishes such as the carrot & egg custard. The bread and nduja was also a nice addition. However, we spent over $800 between the two of us with tips included (with the tasting menu priced at $215) which I think is way too overpriced. The wines especially are overpriced, for 150pp I would expect more upscale wines than what was on offered. We ended up going with a Barolo instead which was more reasonable but still $170 for a bottle. For these prices, I would expect Michelin 1 or 2 star quality food, which it wasn't (as nice as our meal was). That said, the service was really good with our waiter being extremely attentive and considerate.“

“My boyfriend and I came early on a Sunday evening hoping to get the sweet potato gnocchi special advertised for the weekend but they were all out. The Brussel sprouts and smoky rigatoni were very good. We also had the sweet potato soup which wasn't as flavorful as we had hoped.“

“Came here Valentine's Day weekend and it was packed! Luckily we had a reservation and this place is the perfect cute date spot. The interior and ambiance is amazing! We had a drink at the bar and then headed to dinner. The food was good especially the pizza but I think the drinks stood out - they were strong and flavorful.“

“The food is delicious at Via Locusta. I'd particularly recommend the agnolotti, which changes seasonally. Service is also good. My only complaint is that I really wish they'd add some sound panels on the ceiling inside to quiet the dining room down. It gets so loud that you can't hear the people across from you. We've generally had better meals outside than in the dining room for that reason.“

“As a wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Osteria, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The venue's unique location, impeccable food, and outstanding service make it perfect for an intimate wedding. The guests couldn't stop raving about the food and drinks, which were a huge step above the standard wedding fare. Located in an area of the city close to photo ops, Osteria is gorgeous, especially at night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing time, and the dance floor was going off like crazy all night! If you're looking for a unique setting for your wedding, look no further than Osteria.“

“Food and service was excellent!! I had a hard time choosing what to order as everything sounded delicious. The Tuscan Salmon with mashed potatoes and winter vegetables was above my expectations ?? Beautiful place. Will be coming back for sure!“

“Illata is truly the perfect restaurant experience. Amazing food and amazing service with the perfect ambiance. Everything wowed us but the chicory salad, tuna, and banana cream puff were to die for. Illata deserves every accolade! Highly recommend to everyone!“

“We were twenty minutes late due to traffic but the host was more than accommodating. Our server Robert brought a lot of energy and knowledge to our choices. Branzino was excellent, the veal medallions very tender in a delicious gravy. Lemon cello cheesecake was a nice way to end the meal. We've never been disappointed eating at Bellini.“

“What an AMAZING and DELIGHTFUL shop!! The sandwiches were literally to die for! I got the Knucklehead on a Sesame Roll toasted and jt was SO good!!!! I went with my boyfriend! They played soft Sinatra music and the vibe was totally chill. The Host was funny and laid back and the food was impeccable! We didn’t even notice but the Owner was at a table in the shop and was so friendly! I literally felt like a welcomed guest in his home! He gave us free drinks on the house and gave us pointers on how to get to the concert venue we were going to!! Such great service! Adorable place to eat! Really happy we chose here to eat before a concert!!!!“

“I started my experience at the valley parking gentleman in charge, he was friendly, kind and patient. I walked in and it seems that the excellence in customer service is their currency in this restaurant. The service was excellent, the food was excellent, the order in everything they do was excellent and even the wine selection they had was excellent. I made a voyage into a dream place called Dante and Luigi's and I advise everyone to get his voyage there...“

“Great Italian Hoagie spot in the heart of the neighborhood. The Chicken Cutlet is the real deal. They have just enough crunch to it on a worthy Philly hoagie roll. The people here- including owner- are warm and responsive dishin’ out these beauties. Pricing quite reasonable.Thank you guys for breathing fire into an area that needed a for-real hoagie spot.Now easily on the rotation.“

“Picture the quintessential neighborhood corner sandwich shop of your dreams - this is it. This is the spot. Found it today and knew at first menu glance it’d be dope. The daily specials (kielbasa & egg sandwich, and Italian melt) were great and already thinking about the next ones I want to try (ex. The Bobby). Slaw, pickle, and Vietnamese iced coffee were great too!The place was happily busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon - line inside but I ordered ahead online since I was walking my dog, and their service was great — I literally stepped inside and within 2 seconds someone came out to greet me, I said I placed order, they said my name and handed me my bag and coffee.I don’t know what we the people of Francisville did to deserve Sandwich Corner Market, but my heart is full (and stomach)(Can you guys maybe make like, a little sandwich sample flight? Like 3 little sliders somehow? I want to try so many at once but can’t be slamming like 3 sandwiches and foresee myself stressing in the future over which 1 sandwich to pick per order)“

“Absolutely delicious! We were early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our server brought us a tasting of the rosé which perfectly matched our appetizers. Food was paced perfectly and we loved every single small plate and entree. Cannot wait to return!“

“This is a fabulous local restaurant and if I lived in the neighborhood I would be there at least twice a month. I was hosting some out-of-town visitors and we enjoyed between the three of us, two plates of pasta and a caprese salad and it was more than enough food and we also enjoyed our red and white BYOB wines. Afterwards we went down a block Dirty Frank's on the corner of 13th and Pine for a nightcap which completed a full circle Philadelphia experience.“

“Fiorella is an excellent restaurant. The quality of the food, ambiance, and service lives up to the hype. My only BUT is a reflection on portion sizes, which vary greatly by dish. The ragú could feed a small village. It is a literal cauldron of pasta. The cacio é pepé is also a generous portion. Even the gnocchi, while a smaller dish overall, are jumbo sized and likely filling. Some of the other dishes and specials however are just as pricey but much less substantial. If you are dining as a group, this is not an issue. You can share smaller plates and fill up on ragú. As a solo diner, I wish I was advised in advance as my dish was impeccably prepared, but I left needing more. At least I was in South Philly so I could grab a slice on my way home.“

“Everything was delicious from the bread to the dessert. The shrimp risotto was excellent. We ordered the meatball app which was served with grated parm and ricotta. Again, delicious. Highly recommend. Prices were reasonable especially for a byob.“

“Great intimate restaurant. Service was very attentive and friendly. Food was superior. Fried gnocchi were light as pillows and very tasty. Veal saltimbocca you could cut with a fork (always my test if the veal is tender enough). Capellini scampi light not heavy, tasty with plenty of lump crab and shrimp. Tiramisu was a nice dinner finish.“

“LOVED IT HERE! Truly authentic Italian cooking, with authentic ingredients to purchase. The staff was so friendly and accomodating on their menu. We had to make a slight change in order for a vegetarian, and they had no issues. We tried their breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches, and each bite was jam packed with substance & flavor (I mean, just look at the layers in my photo.) Fresh ingredients, and an overall quaint/bright spot. This would be an awesome place to post up and get some work done, do some people watching, and enjoy delicious food. Not to mention, their baked goods looked out of this world. We wanted to get so much, but I landed on their passion fruit donut, partly because it was the last one left (so I figured something must be good!) And let me tell you, their dough is different. The donut was dense & fluffy at the same time, and their passion fruit flavor was y-u-m-m-y. I can't wait to go back to try more sandwiches and get some grocery shopping done!“

“OMG!!! A friend of mine highly recommended this restaurant to me to try out. I am so happy that she did. I have eaten here two times since, and each time was an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! Let's start with the great service from their wait staff. Izzy, Gabriel, and Sarah were my main wait staff, BUT all the wait staff help each other. So if Izzy, Gabriel, or Sarah are busy taking care of other customers, their co-workers just jump right in and take care of your questions and/or needs quickly. And the FOOD IS SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! ? ? I LOVE LOVE LOVE their freshly made Garlic Knots that you get when you sit down. I also love their Mussels in white wine and garlic and their Meat Lasagna, Chicken Piccatta with capers, mushrooms in a very Yummy White Wine Lemon Sauce; and the portion size is definitely worth every penny - it's Huge - you will leave with a meal's worth for the next day (see picture). And I love their Tiramisu for dessert, too. They have a Great Menu with Many, Many More Choices of different Yummy foods, on top of their Pasta dishes such as the Pizzas, Stromboli and Cheese Steaks, etc. Plus, the restaurant is kept very Clean, it's very family friendly and it's just cozy. All their Customers, including myself, enjoy their food and time at Graeme Park Pizza & Cafe located in Horsham, Pennsylvania. It is another Hidden Gem that I am so happy to have found.YOU must come and try it out for yourself. You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.“

“I love this place BUTI love this place—the relaxed vibe, the incredible drink menu, friendly staff, and the Super Bock on tap takes me straight back to Europe.BUT I do feel swindled by the auto 20% with minimal/ no indication on the receipt.“

“The best pizza within 35 minutes of my residence! Great sauce, wonderful cheese, tasty crust. My only complaint is the thickness of the crust, it's too doughy/thick especially at the ends. Next time I order, I'm going to see if they can use medium size dough and stretch to a large pie.“

“I loved this place. Good food with a very attentive staff. Feels like a little Italian eatery. Probably the quickest Italian food I've had. We did t have e to wait for anything yet the courses were spaced out properly enough for us to have an unrushed and enjoyable night.“

“Excellent BYOB restaurant. Authentic food. The experience of the 3 or 4 courses is just amazing. Great service and attention. I would only suggest (if possible) to offer a smaller plates option of the same menu. Portions are abundant, so be sure to be hungry hehehe.“

“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!“

“Our first time here and the food and service was amazing. Tori was our server and she took great care of our party of 5. All our meals were outstanding. The orange cello at the end of the meal delicious. Mother’s Day dinner for Rene well deserved and we will be back . Byob too.“

“My husband and I went to Spasso for our 45 anniversary dinner. We have been to this restaurant many times and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, the portions are generous and the staff is friendly and attentive. This is one of my all time favorites.“

“I’ve eaten at a very vegan spot in the area, including the city like Vedge, Monster Vegan etc. and THIS RIGHT HERE is the best of them all, hands down. Everything on the menu is incredible! Legitimately perfect, my only qualm is I wish they were open more!! The Cesar salad with chicken and wings are sooooo delicious.“

“Limited menu...absolutely no changes (additions or deletions from a dish), no seconds on bread, dive bar setting, long wait for table, cash only.Check your hoity-toity at the door and you will get some incredibly awesome pasta and other food at great prices. If they have Murphs Pasta when ur there...its amazing.LOVE this place“

“You know this place is popular when there are people waiting outside the door at 9am right before this place opens. It was my first time here and upon arriving, 2 people were waiting to get in and 3 more trickled in minutes later. A line started to form and people are trying to get the tomato pie. I place an order for the regular tomato pie a few days ago over the phone but when I went to pick it up they didn't have my name. Luckily they had extras so I didn't have to order another. My friends really enjoyed the tomato pie so it's definitely as good as people say. Just be sure to double check the day before if you placed an order with them.“

“Had a wonderful dinner experience here! Everything from the creative dishes to the cozy upscale vibe to the excellent service was perfect. We loved every part of the tasting menu and can't wait to go back! Also super grateful that they accommodated celiac dietary needs and made the meal fully gluten free. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: chef accommodated gluten free for celiac with advance notice“

“Did the Porchetta dinner which you have to reserve ahead of time. It is a great value and lets you try a bit of everything. The Porchetta is served with tortilla like piadina which allows you to make the most wondrous little bites. Though called pork belly porchetta, this isn't some sort of unrendered fat glob that lesser restaurants sometimes serves. This is more like lightly cooked bacon that just slaps. If you have any self-control, try bringing some home for a crisped up porchetta and eggs breakfast.“

“Polite and professional staff. A great menu selection. When reserving a table, make sure you select a specific section of the restaurant. Nice portions for the entrees. Make sure you leave room for desert.On Sunday nights, they have a red sauce Sunday where menu items on the daily menu that usually do not have red sauce are served with red sauce. It is a nice touch.I will definitely be back.“

“Pizzeria Stella on South Street boasts a winning combination of delicious food and a delightful atmosphere. Their pizzas are truly outstanding – I highly recommend the San Danielle for its perfect balance of flavors. If you're looking for something beyond pizza, don't miss the gnocchi with guanciale bacon – it's absolutely divine!Whether you're a pizza enthusiast or just looking for a cozy spot with incredible Italian food, Pizzeria Stella is a must-try. The ambiance adds a special touch to the experience, making it a great choice for a casual date night or a fun dinner with friends.“

“They were happy to accommodate my GERD-related dietary restrictions, and the food I ordered (the veal chop) was excellent.Dietary restrictions: I have severe GERD, and they had no problem preparing my meal without reflux triggers (onion, garlic, tomato, wine, vinegar, black pepper, spicy foods, etc)“

“Have been here in Roxborough 2 years but never really saw the place until I found it on Google maps. It's a little unassuming on the outside but is really nice on the inside. I think they need a big, bright sign out front facing the street directly.Excellent food. Came for breakfast. Not too salty and they make a great hollandaise sauce. Had the stuffed french toast and crab portobello benedict. Will be back to try lunch and dinner, as well!Prices were good. The food is well portioned. You won't leave hungry.Service is great too. Multiple people checked on us. They check on you consistently for water and coffee. It was busy but we didn't have to wait too long to sit. We also didn't wait too long for food (maybe 15 minutes after order) but they brought our drinks of course within 5. Food came out hot.Can't wait to go back! Definitely recommendDietary restrictions: There is fish on the menu and also a vegetarian burger.“

“Dinner, Saturday night. Begin with saying I think this is an excellent, authentic, under the radar classic Italian restaurant with a menu of the standard, classic dishes one would want without any unfamiliar or experimental flourishes. I had pasta puttanesca and honestly feel it's the best puttanesca I've ever had -- large caper berries, anchovies you couldn't see but definitely taste, rich tomato sauce -- really good. Wife had the veal milanese and, again, cooked to perfection, not breaded too heavily, fresh arugula. Calamari appetizer not overbreaded, nor overfried, nice mildly spicy sauce. The bread they serve with the meal -- an important, often overlooked item -- was high quality with thick crust, served with quality olive oil and canellini beans. The one miss of the entire meal was an appetizer they're supposedly known for -- Artichokes Core de Roma. Unfortunately, we found this tasteless. Literally without taste. With that one exception, we found everything about this restaurant high quality and will return.“

“Warm and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. George I’ll assume the owner/manager, came out and chatted with us. Shared the history and that everything is made fresh like in your own kitchen and the pasta is mass daily. Very very perfectly seasoned and moist, everything ♥️ Thank you George. Max & Gary.“

“This was my 69th birthday dinner with my son … he chose the restaurant and it was perfect … we sat outside … Andy was the waiter who took care of us and he was fabulous … attentive and he genuinely cared that our meal was perfect … we started our meal with the Burrata Appetizer … it was fantastic and very fresh … for the second course we shared the Pappardelle and let me tell you it was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had … for dinner my son had the Chicken Milanese which he enjoyed a lot … I had a special for the evening Atlantic Char over Mashed Potatoes & Spinach … a really flavorful main course … perfectly prepared … we had Pellegrino Sparkling Water with our dinner which brought back memories of visiting Italy a couple times … very reminiscent … for dessert there was Cannoli & Chocolate Mousse Cake with Espresso … the perfect Birthday meal … I highly recommend this restaurant … if you are undergoing Cancer Treatments like I am this is a restaurant to visit to lift your spirits to the universe … LIVE LIVE LAUGH & EAT ALWAYS … ?????“

“We ate here while staying at the Mint for a birthday. We had a good time and the food was good but felt that it was a little over priced (i.e. $42 for an eggplant parm dish and over $100/person without alcohol). Staff was friendly but felt maybe a little under experienced/trained. Timing between courses was a little off (very long between one and then others right away). Cleanliness was perfect but noticed a lot of chipped dishes. Atmosphere was cozy with very comfortable seats. Overall we're glad we experienced it, would recommend to others but may/may not return.“
