Their always nice & delivery is fast too! Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: It's easy to modify the food to be vegetarian & they don't act annoyed.

Their salads are large so it is a meal!Dietary restrictions: I modify to be vegetarian & gluten free.“

“We ordered from La Sicilia for the first time for my sons 5th birthday party. He has a lot of food allergies and they have a vegan pizza that is actually delicious! Monica was so nice and helpful coordinating a large party order and even called the day before to confirm everything. The food was delivered on time and was fresh and delicious. The driver even helped us set everything out. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely be returning customers.“

“Ever since the new owners took over this place, the level of detail throughout the experience has really exceeded expectations. Every single pizza slice I've ordered here has been exceptional, their staff incredibly friendly and accommodating and I just can't think of a better pizza place in the area that offers this level of service. I highly recommend this place for any occasion!“

First time visiting and they didn't disappoint at all food was absolutely wonderful well prepared hot and fresh! A very good experience and I would definitely recommend“

“Where do I even start? From top to bottom, start to finish, this place is an absolute gem and a banger!It’s been around forever, I grew up going here and recently came back to the area and knew I had to stop in the see what was new….Ali, one of the owners, has some of the most outstanding customer service skills and his smile and charisma light up when you walk in. Nothing else like it. This guy is straight up awesome!!Omar, the other owner and Ali’s brother is in the back cooking up some of the best food in the area.I got garlic knots, pizza, fries, tenders and mozzarella sticks.The garlic knots are hands down the BEST garlic knots I’ve had in my entire life. No joke. Legit. And my standards are high / picky for garlic knots. They’re fluffy, pillow-like, chewy and PACKED with garlic. Tons of garlic and the texture is PERFECTION. If you like dry overcooked no flavor garlic knots that skimp on garlic, go elsewhere.The pizza is in my Top 2 and I’m very particular about my pizza….fresh, perfectly cooked, ratios of ingredients ideal and not too thin (I hate cracker-like crust pizza. If I wanted that, I’d get a flatbread) it had the perfect texture, chew and nice amount of cheese. Has a very very awesome unique flavor that’s hard to describe that I’ve never tasted before all the way through to the dough and the cheese is FRESH. These guys know what they’re doingOh and by the way, the tenders are hand breaded and house made to perfection. Nice and juicy, melt in your mouth fall apart just picking them up.The mozzarella sticks are also house made and you can tell they are fresh.These guys are charitable too, involved in the community and with donations.Literally everything about this place is amazing from the people to the food. I can’t get over how amazing those garlic knots are. I’m mad because now I have to go back regularly lol.Genovas is the definition of QUALITY!“

“We have been getting take out from here for years but never sat inside to eat. We decided for our 1 year wedding anniversary that we would go here and it did not disappoint! We have always called the gnocchi "pillows of heaven." They are the absolute best! We also had the lamb which just fell off the bone and was so tender. And we definitely recommend the buratta for a starter. You can tell that everything is homemade including the bread. The service is also stellar! The staff is so attentive and so nice. We felt like family the whole meal. It's also a byob which is great to bring your favorite bottle of wine. I can't say enough about this tiny south Philly gem!“

“It's been a long time since I've been to Sapori and definitely regretting not coming back sooner. The food was outstanding, from the bread and olive oil, to the fresh calamari, main, and dessert. Everything was great in terms of service and the waiter was attentive and charismatic. Heated patio was excellent and everything was reasonably priced. Will definitely be back soon.“

“Went to Home Depot to get some paint but was distracted by the smell coming from this place and had to stop in. Ended up getting the sweet sausage on a long roll, with fried onions, hot peppers and brown mustard. Delicious food, on point roll, friendly atmosphere and good prices. What more could you want?“

Cute decor with a lot of tables that are in close proximity to one another.THIS is the place to eat.OHHH-EMMM-GEEE the food is incredibly delicious. The portions are generous.

If not I will reimburse you. For either place. They definitely need to deliver.Parking: There is about 500 spots to park, and for pick up you can park out front.Kid-friendliness: Bring them all john will make them laugh.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at the door, low bumb at the door and plenty room to wheel around.“

Homemade and you could tell! Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic food with almost all local ingredients. A lovely prix fixe experience with only three tables and a kitchen counter. The service was intimate and super friendly. Some amazingly creative and well-executed creations done very rustically. Highly recommend it.“

“Overall 5 stars,This is their carnivore pizza without bacon. We also had their white Detroit pizza, I would rate 7/10, room for improvement for the price I think added ricotta would have been an amazing benefit. There is another establishment we usually frequent but I think I just found the best pizza in twp“

“Good food and nice atmosphere. Their portions have gotten smaller and the prices have gone up which I'm not a fan of. Also, the chicken Marsala with crabmeat should have two options. With. Out crabmeat should be cheaper than with crab meat.“

“I'm usually very picky where I get my pizza from I decided to try out cafe Antonio's for the first time. The pizza was great the gravy was just right, and the service time was quick. The staff were very busy but yet very nice the owner came over and introduced himself. Great customer service, so today I'm going to try chicken franchise I can't wait I found my new spot.“

“Love the staff. They make you feel like family. And it's fun to see so many people dining there know one another. such a nice neighborhood restaurant feel Food was so good! My husband loves the chicken parm and the mo's chicken. My kids love the pizza, pasta and meatballs. I always try to order off the specials board. They steak and halibut have been my favorite. The pesto gnocchi was a special but it's on the menu now, it's so good! And love a BYOB.“

“Was in town for wrestlemania and the typical cheese steak spots were filled with tourists and had no parking. I did a google search and found this wonderful place. And it's in a huge parking lot. Food was great too. Don't hesitate come here!“

“One of our favorite restaurants ❣️ Always great & different daily specials which are very delicious ?. Many fabulous choices on regular menu ❣️. Service is amazing and very pleasant as well❣️❣️❣️ Always an awesome & enjoyable time ?“

“Vegetarian options: Happy they provide a meatless choice.Parking: Worth the effort to find parking. The food here is amazing. I'm from out of town and when I go to Philly I make sure to stop here for the hoagies, pasta dishes and so much more.“

“I came in with a few friends who have never been here before, and they were beyond impressed. The portions, prices, and quality of food were outstanding. Our server Ryan was the best and filled them in on all the details. He made sure we had everything we needed and, though he was very busy he made us feel like we were his only table. Needless to say we were all very pleased.“

“I Ordered A Pepperoni, Sausage , Mushroom & Onion Pizza And It Was The Best Pizza I've Had In Awhile..Sauce Was Not Tart At All Which I Like. Excellent Crust, Not To Soft And Not To Hard, A Little Charred Around The Edges, Just Right. The Mister Ordered The Pasta Pomodora Wiith Meatballs, I Can Say The Meatballs Were Excellent, So Moist And Flavorful You Can Tell They're Homemade. Meatballs Could Have Been Bigger Or They Could Give You Four Instead Of Three In A Serving. Overall I Will Be Frequenting This Local Restaurant....“

“Irwin’s is an Italian restaurant located inside Bok Building, which was an old school revitalized as an artsy complex space. From the school desks to the chairs, the vintage furnishings of Irwin’s give a nostalgic vibe.＊Shallot and Thyme Focaccia **They change the housemade foccacia flavor regularly. Glad that we got to try the shallot and thyme one. The bread dough was pillowy with a shiny brown surface, while not feeling oily at all. The sweetness from the caramelized shallot and the herby fragrance from thyme made a harmonious flavor duet.＊1/2 Agrodolce Chicken**SERIOUSLY how could they make the chicken (even the chicken breast!) so tender and juicy? Also can we talk about the gremolata? It was fantastic as a dish itself, and add extra textures and tangy flavors if you spread it over the meat.＊Trofie (half)We know their carbs wouldn’t be as amazing as their proteins but we still wanted to try. The pasta was cooked to al dente. The mushroom truffle flavor was exactly what you could easily imagine. Nothing mindblowing here.＊Milk & Honey GelatoWe picked this right away because I saw it had “pistachio”. The honey was very sweet, but premium in flavor. My cravings was fully satisfied as they didn’t skimp on the crushed pistachios on top. Lowkey wished that the gelato melted a bit slower.“

“Wow, lived in Ridley Park for 25 years and never tried this place. I've gotten lazy and have been going to Wawa, so I finally decided to try it and WOW, it was pretty great. I got the 12 inch Italian hoagie and it was incredible. Could only finish half for dinner, so I had the rest for lunch the next day. I got stuffed, twice. I will definitely be back!“

“I’m here with a party of 40. What a magnificent job they’re doing. Cranking it out. Authentic Italian food. We had everything from eggplant parm to chicken parm to chicken piccata and Marsala to salmon. App was diced tomato and garlic bruschetta. Entrees were served with sides of penne pasta in a blush sauce and tomato based green beans with what else but GARLIC. Simply outstanding. The sauce on my chicken piccata was perfectly lemony and tangy. The gangster atmosphere is too fun. Great sense of humor. You won’t find this in my current home state of Colorado. Thanks to the chef and staff. Pics attached, of course!“

“We’re from Oregon and stopped by twice before our flight back. Prices are great and the food is fresh, melt in your mouth softness from the bagels and bacon ? cooked perfectly!! Had a Breakfast Bagel both times and can’t get enough. We’re coming back once more today to get a hoagie for the plane trip!! Well Done Mama Marie’s!!!“

“This is our go to pizza place in town. It's rarely over 20 minutes for a pie and the taste is very good. I think it's the best when the pizza is extra crispy. We never dine in so no comments on the atmosphere, but the man always behind the counter is always friendly“

“I was surprised, being there for the first time for dinner, that Tuscan Bistro had lobster bisque soup and bacon wrapped scallops for an appetizer, my two favorites. I asked if it was regularly on the menu, and was told no, but the ingredients for the bacon wrapped scallops are always on the menu, so it could be made to order. My husband had the staple, Chicken Parmesan, which he said was very good and tender. We will definitely be going back for dinner, and not only for lunch. Service was excellent, prices were comparable, and meals were delicious.“

“Wonderful food and wonderful people!! Try the meatballs! My very picky very Italian man and kids rarely like anyone's meatballs and they gobbled them down!The family that works here treats everyone that walks in the door friendly and with respect. You won't be sorry you went, and you'll probably go back again.Thank you, Vanessa's Cafe for the meal!“

“Not only is the food great, the service warm and timely, and the restaurant upgrade attractive, but I had the benefit of hearing some Algerian musicians play mandolin and banjo with Middle Eastern melodies! A real treat. And the breakfast sandwiches are out of this world!“

“Food was great and the prices were even better. If you’re looking for some good Italian food that won’t break the bank, this is the place. The only issue I have going here is they don’t have a dedicated parking lot. You are left to fight for yourself with street parking. 50$ for 2 peopleParking: It’s not easy to find parking on a weekend here. There is free street parking if you go down the side streets and paid parking close to the restaurant“

“I stopped in Philly for my rolls and they don’t have them or sell them no we’re but South Philly ! You must come early. They sell out before 12 most of the time so I order ahead because I like the little rolls and pick them up the next day ! I love sitting out and smelling them baking the rolls around 3 o’clock am My mouth was water , with my rolls still warm I put some butter on that. Oh my God out of this world. they also have Stromboli pizza, and other baked items you must go in and see.!“

“We LOVE Anthony's, we live in town amd can walk there. They are always so nice, know our kids by name and have watched our family grow. Ms. Aaliyah the owner is a true gem. Happy to support a small business and highly reccomemnd stopping by.“

“60 years in South Jersey and I can say the best Italian food is at Il Fiore. Each dish comes to the table hot, well presented and delicious. Ask Lundy for something in case you do not see it, he is the "host with the most." His staff truly attempts to provide each customer with the best service. Even when the house is full and people are waiting in line to come in, your glass of water will always be filled, your BYOB wine will be poured and your meal will be as if you were the only table in the restaurant. I especially like when they have the veal chop special while my wife craves their grilled salmon dishes. Come to Il Fiore and enjoy, you will never be sorry. BTW, eating lunch there is a great treat--quieter, music playing and reasonable prices.“

“Love Chiquita's al pastor pizza. I also ordered the parmesean garlic chicken tenders which were delicious, however, not sure if it was just a bad batch but it was swimming in oil - suggestion to cut back on the oil cause these tasted fantastic - but having to pour all that oil out of the box wasn't ideal. I will def order them again to try the again, hopefully it was just a fluke!“

“Hands down The Absolute BEST Taste of Italy ?? without having to travel abroad that my wife and I have ever had. Thank you so much Nick, and to all who contributed in making our experience that much more memorable. We most definitely will be back again!“

“We always do delivery from this place we've never actually stayed there and eat in so I can't give you any type of review about inside however the food is normally good hot and the people are friendly the prices are fair so I do recommend this place for a “

“?Cannoli $5.95The outer skin is crispy and not greasy. The more you bite into it, the more delicious it becomes. The texture always reminds me of vegetable pancakes.The freshly filled filling is cheese with a crunchy texture, not sweet or greasy.tasty! The clerk is friendly!“

“My baby shower was held at Limoncello restaurant. I cannot thank Eric and his team enough for the absolutely incredible experience we had! From the event preparation to tear down, everything was seamless. The food was delicious (especially love the Chicken Parmesan and cheesecake!), service was top notch, and the ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend to anyone looking for the right spot to host their event or simply for a delicious meal!“

“Went with my family 2 celebrate my mom's 70th bday. Had an awesome time. The service was dynamic! The food was awesome. We were in the balcony room, beautiful set up. Literally NO complaints, I had the crab cakes, soooo delicious ? will definitely be returning. Everyone enjoyed themselves, both food & atmosphere. I wish I could remember our waitstaff names. They went above & beyond to make sure we had what we needed.“

“We've ordered from here repeatedly over the last few months and just did again at my nephew's request. He's visiting and loved the Sicilian so much last time that he wanted it again.Everything we get from here is really good - better than most. LOVE the garlic & parm wings. Got the mushrooms this time- very good, not squishy lil' messes.Have tried most of the pasta dishes- delicious. Food is delivered fresh & hot. And, as a side note, our dog goes nuts when someone comes to the door, so we always instruct delivery people to call from the driveway. It's often hit or miss that they do it... These guys have always been on point. I mention it because it makes things so much easier.Anyway, we ate before I took pics, but trust me, it all looked and tasted fabulous!!“

“The food is amazing, on point every time. The protein shakes are also really good especially with the added options, and there’s a good selection of meals/sides on their menu. Even the staff there is friendly. It’s definitely worth the drive, considering I live 30 minutes away. I highly recommend it, 10/10!!Parking: There’s enough of parking spots.“

“Great bakery in the south Jersey area. There is a nice selection of breads and desserts. This particular visit, we grabbed a loaf of Italian bread and a dozen donuts. The loaf of bread was fantastic and the donuts were awesome - we chose some classics like chocolate frosted and chocolate cream filled but also a couple exotics like red velvet, salted caramel and peanut butter and jelly. The staff is so friendly and helpful. This is a bakery that you need to try!“

“Carosello's is our family's "go-to" spot for pizza and sandwiches. One of the best in the area! I know it's really tough to find a place that stands out among the sea of pizza joints in this region, but don't hesitate to place an order here - you will not be disappointed. Great food, and very fair prices. Fast and friendly delivery too, when needed! Chuck is a great guy as well. Thanks for never letting us down guys!“

“I wasn’t clear with my order and had something else delivered and of course I didn’t realize till later and that they were going to close soon. Called and placed another order and they were quick to get it out to me. Great service, great people. Btw we love their pizza and wings!“

“Tried the “Tipsy Nonna”. After moving to NJ from NY 6 years ago we have struggled to find good pizza. But the Tipsy Nonna (see it on their Instagram) was GREAT. My husband called it an 11 out of 10! All the staff is so nice and I believe her name is Maria, truly does treat the customers like family. Will definitely be back to get it again soon!“

“we went on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Looking for a place with a draft beer and some sandwiches. The Calabrese pizza looked awesome in a sheet pan so we ordered it. Very satisfying! Had sea oil and seasoning on the crust which made it tasty and a break from the sauce and cheese with slices of eggplant and ricotta on top. Great tasting sauce.: this along with a couple shock, top wheat beers was a perfect match. Everybody seemed happy to be there as were we and we will be back.“
