We did not make a reservation as it was a last minute decision. It was a Saturday nite so that was our fault. We had a half hour wait. There is a small bar when you walk in and the bartender welcomes you to sit down. I only had a diet Coke and he did not charge for that in a plastic cup. Our waitress was great! Very personable. I ordered the Italian wedding soup. I have never had one with so many little meatballs! It was filling. I ordered cheese raviolis with a garlic and olive oil sauce and she asked if I wanted 6 or 8. I went for the 6 and after the soup, I saved the rest and had for lunch the next day. They are big and very good. The only issue was the time between our soup and entree was a little long. It appears to be a very popular place. Many people were celebrating birthdays etc while we were there. Most people had reservations and the longest I think I saw a party wait with reservations was maybe 10 mins. My son said it's his favorite Italian restaurant in the Wilmington area. I would definitely go again and make reservations!

This place is as good as any South Philly restaurant I have been to. The bricole was fantastic. We will be back soon.

We were there with friends from work and when we finished eating, they never offered us dessert. Was so upset. We were celebrating two birthdays and so we just left.

The pizza wasn't great, and the pastas we ordered came with red sauce, which turned out to have meat in it, which the menu doesn't say. I called to ask, and an unfriendly person said it comes with a meatball (we didn't know it came with a meatball) so of course there's meat. He said you have to order from the vegan menu to avoid red sauce having meat?? Never seen an Italian restaurant that serves tomato sauce with meat automatically, and not identifying that in the menu.

Mrs Robino's hosted the luncheons for after both of my Mommom and Popopp's funerals over the past 2 years. The staff was wonderful. The food was wonderful. The homelike atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you for your hospitality, professionalism and kindness.

It was a nice Italian restaurant. Food was good but in my opinion drowning in the gravy. It overpowered the pasta.

First time visit but not my last! Service was excellent. My cheese ravioli was the best I have ever had! My husband enjoyed the meatballs but wasn't thrilled with the tomato sauce. For dessert we tried the cannolis and choc cream cake. Probably would skip dessert next time. We went for early dinner and easily found on street parking out front.

The is no comparison to Mrs. Robino's.If you know you know..If you don't know..now you do.
Worse Italian i’ve had in the US! Everything from service was awful! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Food without taste, lemonade tastes awful! Just an absolute waste of time and money! They saw we didn’t touch the food and still changed for the food!
I've heard about this place for years. Did not disappoint, fantastic food, environment, and too reasonably priced for the food you receive.

We have eaten there many times over 50 years. This is the first time I was disappointed with shrimp and scallops lasagna. The sea food was obviously made into a fine paste.

Love this place. They treat everyone like family. Although I live in suburban Philly, I come here as often as possible. The sangria is delicious, as are most of the entrees.

Overall a nice place. I don't know if the food quality has fallen off since the diners drive in and dives episode, but I was not impressed. Pasta is home made and very good, sauce us good as well. Ravioli were very good but the Beef Braciole was way too chewy, didn't seem like what Guy got that's for sure. But all in all not a bad meal, worth at least 1 visit for the atmosphere alone.
