“My Mom and I came here for the first time last night. Well lived in Ardmore all our life and never been to this restaurant. We will definitely be back. We ordered the special which was Gnochi with sausage and meatballs. It was delicious. The server was really nice and the atmosphere was nice as well. We will definitely be back to try something else.“
“Overall we liked our food. The veal dishes were very good. My husband's pasta with crab had VERY LITTLE crab meat. My veal with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes had two small pieces of each. The pasta and veal were cooked well, but the ingredients were sorely lacking. Their policy on not offering a mix of flavors of gelato is very puzzling. The prices are very fair but you don't get the “advertised” ingredients. We like it here, but I'd rather pay a little more and get what is advertised.“
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Carlino's Bakery. They have everything you need for any event or family function. I've had something from every department and never had any complaints. The cakes and pastries are delicious, the cheeses, their pre-made meals (i.e: lasagna, salads, etc...) , their hot paninis & fresh loaf of bread are all great. I go there for all my imported goods shopping. Make sure you pick up a Panetone there for Christmas!“
“I came here around lunchtime for a quick bite. When I got there I noticed I was the only one there which is OK because I did get there around 11 AM. I ordered the bruschetta and the shrimp scampi. I was surprised to see that there was no Alfredo on the menu. The shrimp scampi was OK but the bruschetta was the best bruschetta I’ve ever had. I would come here again because the service was great, but it was missing Alfredo for me.“
“I have been going to Primo Hoagies in Ardmore for years and the food is always delicious and fresh. The owner Pat is very friendly and his staff are as well. When you walk in the place is always clean and smells good. Whether you need lunch, dinner or having a party Primo Hoagies in Ardmore is a great choice.Vegetarian options: Different vegetarian hoagiesParking: There are plenty of parking“
“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. We had two calzones and shared a slice of the cheesesteak pizza - which was also fantastic. The calzones were fresh and tasted homemade, the people were so accommodating and friendly. I wish Bella Italia nothing but the best, I will be coming again the next time I’m in Philly.“
“Stopped by here for a quick dinner during Wrestlemania 40 weekend in Philly. Such a cool place with neat decorations through out. If you're a metal head/horror enthusiast, definitely come here. Service was excellent and I started with the Mac And Cheese Balls, which was delicious. Then, I had the spaghetti with 'meatballs.' Good, but thought had way too much tomato sauce.Again, the decor was awesome, atmosphere is chill and had horror movie scenes/commercials playing on their TVs. Would recommend!“
“We came here for my family members birthday and there was quite a bit of us (13), the owner Connie was an absolute gem and hooked us up with a private room. She came in numerous times to check in and make sure everything was okay and staff was so nice and quick. I have to say it was worth every penny, everyone was so nice and the food was AMAZING. We had a wonderful time, I would definitely recommend coming here.Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free options!“
“Love this place for Gelato and drinks. Feel like in Italy when entering the shop. can eat in or take out Gelato. There is a bar inside that they made fresh coffee as well. Best espresso martini and Aperol spitz. There is a restaurant upstairs too but didn’t try yet. Many import staff from Italy. Very enjoy to be in this place. really recommended“
“This restaurant is located on East Passyunk in South Philly. I love the ambiance and service was great. Meat and veggie platter was delicious. The platter also came with pizza dough which was surprisingly really good. I am also currently obsessed with their gnocchi, it has the perfect texture and the sauce was amazing. Will definitely come back!“
“Katiey was excellent! Katiey is a wonderful server. She offers suggestions, and asks which particular type of sauce and meal you prefer. She is sweet, happy and welcoming. She refilled drinks before we requested and brought everything we needed for our meal. It was a pleasure being served by Katiey and we will ask for her every time we return!! Throughly enjoyed our visit!She is a credit to your staff!Wheelchair accessibility: My stepdad was able to access the restaurant easily. He was able to use his wheelchair at dinner without a problem.“
“Terrific dinner! We had the burrata appetizer and the beet salad to start, cacio e pepe ravioli, rigatoni parmagiana, seafood gnocchi, and chicken Milanese. All were delicious and well-executed. Ricotta cake, orange sorbet and a cannoli for dessert, also delicious. Service was attentive and great.“
“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!“
“An exceptional dinning experience, but getting in is a bit tricky. The restaurant opens advanced online bookings in intervals of two week blocks, on the Sunday prior. There are two seatings each night, 6:30pm and 8:30pm. If you can’t get a reservation for the released block time, you can request to be added to the wait list. That’s exactly how I received my dinning spot. The experience is intimate, warm and friendly. It truly is like being invited to a friend’s house for dinner, except your friend won’t be serving you these yummy dishes. The food creations are amazing and the courses numerous. The chef announces each dish before it’s served, explaining the ingredients and inspiration. They also provide an extensive wine list and delicious craft cocktails. Highly recommend!“
“I'm giving 5 stars because I don't like to bash people/businesses. Wanted to get some pasta to go. Didn't eat in or take out because prices are way too high for pasta. Wanted to buy a bottle of wine but the $$ of the food turned me off. Please think about cutting prices in pasta dishes, I believe you will benefit immensely if you do!“
“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.“
“We went on NYE and did their NYE special. I think it was worth it. Good portions, tasty food, and lots of options/variety. I definitely enjoyed the steak. My friend enjoyed the fish. We would definitely go back again and recommend. The customer service was great. It was a bit tight size wise a table for two was a bit tight but like i said it was fine. We thoroughly had a good experience. It’s byob so that’s a huge plus!“
“Headed to South Philly on a Friday evening to try out Saloon and had a fantastic experience. The dinner in every area was above and beyond, from the atmosphere, to service, to options, and food. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service was excellent throughout. Prices are high, but we left with enough food for 2 more meals in leftovers so I felt less concerned about the cost. Highly, highly recommend.“
“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.“
“We were there Saturday night and loved the ambience and hospitality. We ordered appetizers, entrees and dessert and I loved their entree and dessert. I and my husband are vegetarian and they were able to suggest us few options with no meat. Linguine Fra Diavolo and Vegan Orecchiette Pasta were so yummy. We tried tiramisu and dessert of the day (something with Pistachio) both were amazing. They even have opera performances every 20-30 minutes.Vegetarian options: Server was well aware of what dishes can be made vegetarian and vegan options are clearly specified on the menu“
“The food was excellent and the service was good. We went for an event and I just don't think this space was right for it. We also ended up at their 2nd location by accident and ended up crashing another private party. It was overall a nice time and we enjoyed the food, just wish there was more space to enjoy it in.“
“The space is small. Very small. A dozen or so stools along the bar and 4 or 5 other 2 tops along the wall. They also have a few outside seats.Drinks were good, unique and flavorful without “shock factor”Everything was cooked perfectly. Firm but great texture. My wife and I split each item and were both full at the end. Serving size of these classics were generous.ESCARGOT ARANCINI. Two golden round balls of love. Perfect crispness on the outside and smooth savory center. The saltiness of the sauce really brings it together. One of the best Arancini I’ve had.RIGATONI - forella sausage raguSpicy (but not in your face) and savory. Great texture and smoothness to the sauce.TONNARELLI -cacio e pepeReally good. The pepper is flavorful without being intense.The focaccia is a must to sop up all the extra sauce!“
“Hands down the best meal I’ve had so far in Philly! We shared the Chef Special and every dish we tried was amazing. Definitely recommend the foccacia (pictured), tuna crudo, ravioli with sweet potato, and cacio e pepe. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was helpful in explaining the menu and provided great recommendations and service. Can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pasta is available.“
“My wife and I dined at Osteria for a special occasion and the experience did not disappoint. From the moment we entered the door to the end of our meal we felt welcome and cared for. Our meals were exquisite. This is easily my favorite restaurant in the city now. Bravo to the Osteria team, Chef, and the host Kyle. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Great Italian spot in center city. One of the best Caesar salads around because of the polenta croutons. The short rib pasta is one of the best options on the menu. The spaghetti and meatballs is massive so be prepared. Portion sizes for the entrees are generous.“
“The chicken was so tender and delicious that I really wanted 3 more helpings but went for the amazing butterscotch pudding dessert! The Brussel sprouts were crispy and deliciously tossed in balsamic vinegar reduction. The pasta was served perfectly al dente which ever sauce you chose. The pomodoro sauce was just superb! It was just a little tight but otherwise the atmosphere was great as was the staff!!Parking: Best to park in the lot just off of 3rd and Bainbridge as trying to find a spot on the street is near impossible. The lot was convenient and close by, less than a block away. $15 for as long as you want on Saturday or Sunday or weeknight after 5pm. Worth it for the impeccable cuisine!!“
“Had “The Paesano” from Paesano’s in Philly yesterday. This is in the Italian market area of South Philly which I love (aside from finding parking) and the people who worked here were all super friendly and helpful.I posted a picture with the ingredients for this one. This had a flavor that I’ve maybe never tasted before all wrapped in one. I enjoyed how it all played off each other (I could eat pepperoncini on anything and be happy too) and the roll was wonderful.Unfortunately I will say that the brisket was a bit tough, which surprised me. I believe it was cut on the wrong angle but there were multiple bites where I really had to tear at it. Had this brisket been as tender as it should have, I’d put this sandwich up against most sandwiches in the city…and I mean that. Put a properly trimmed and roasted brisket on this one and it’s up there with the best roast pork’s and cheesesteaks around imoDefinitely Didn’t Suck, but did leave room for improvement for sure.Check out video and more content on this spot and many others on my social media pages here - https://linktr.ee/Didnt_Suck“
“My in-laws were in the town, and we booked a table for 4. Even though they were a little late to the reservation, the restaurant made no problem. (They were not happy with it for sure, but they did not make us feel uncomfortable about it. So do not be late still)Fantastic food and a delicious menu. Everything is authentic Italian style cooked. We love it!Decoration needs to be updated but gives old italian vibe, no complaint.Our favorite thing was how our server, Micheal, improved our night. He was quick, careful, professional, and very friendly. He checked on us without needing him—excellent, outstanding professionalism. We love every second of it. We will be back! Special thanks to Micheal.“
“We've been here several times since it opened, and have experienced good service and food each time. Several of the dishes have been on the menu each time, but some have been tweaked with different ingredients, making them a little different (even though the original was already worth trying again). The "Brown Butter" dessert, the name of which sounded rather unappetizing on our first visit, turned out to be one of the highlights. Definitely try it. Prices are also reasonable, for a more upscale establishment.Kid-friendliness: It's a quiet, intimate environment. Go for a date night and leave the kids with a sitter.“
“True old world Italian cooking artistry. Opened in 1899 Dante and Luigi's is one of the oldest restaurants in Philadelphia PA. It is certainly the oldest Italian eatery in Philly. Cozy with well dressed wait staff and old world decor. The food tells the story here. I have eating there since college. I took my dates there when I was 18. I go for the food. Delicious is the keyword. Savory tomato sauces, tender meats and exquisite desserts if you have the room after eating your meal. On my recent visit I had pasta fagoli and a side of roasted peppers and provolone to start and their homemade lasagna for the main course. Everything was scrumptious. Even though I was bordering on I can't eat another bite I had the tiramisu for dessert. I couldn't resist. Dante and Luigi is easily my favorite Italian restaurant and a cut about the rest.“
“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)“
“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!“
“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.“
“Really enjoyable meal.. simple yet had a nice atmosphere. It was on the louder side because of the close proximity of tables but still intimate feeling, so it wasn't a negative at all.The menu is on the smaller side, but not in a bad way. Portions are enough to share, and we had the Porcini mushroom and pasta, which was flavorful and had a good balance of each ingredient - meaning it had plenty of mushrooms, sauce and pasta. The dish had a crunchy topping with a little kick, which was a nice texture change.You can easily enjoy a good wine or simple cocktail or just sparkling water with the meal, depending on the mood.It's bright, airy, and a place I could visit regularly and not overthink a nice mealnout.“
“Great food & drinks! My boyfriend loves That Nicholas Cage. Like coming here for a late night, fancy stop. It’s very small & cozy. Bartenders are cool. Definitely on the pricey side (food that is). The cigarettes are a cool touch. Although I don’t smoke, “
“Super tasty Italian food in a neighborhood spot that’s much more interesting than a South Philly red gravy spot. The baked mozzarella with balsamic vinegar is superb as was the veal and the spaghetti with shell fish in a white garlic sauce.Service was super, friendly and made great recommendations. The restaurant is a byob.“
“A very fun and unique experience. This members only club has a speakeasy style for access. Everything we had there was top notch. Highlights for me: the lamb chop, the gnocchi, crab pasta and the espresso martini which had 24 hr churned brown butter somehow infused into it. If you know someone with a membership, you should really try to go.“
“Friends dinner out on a rainy Saturday. Our Mr first time to Noir since the Pandemic. It's even better than we remembered. Same comfortable, relaxed, neighborhoods atmosphere. Same warm and welcoming service. And the food is inspired. Particularly good: broccoli rabe with sausage and beans starter, arancini, gnocchi in mushroom gravy, short rib, and (amazing) spaghetti with crab sauce. Desserts were fresh and especially tasty. Great evening!“
“Can’t possibly say enough good things about Tredici! Have never had a bad meal here (and I have tried a lot of items ?) lunch, dinner or catering are all a hit. Top favs are crab cakes, mashed sweet potatoes, chicken caprese. Always have my freezer stocked with marinara sauce for an easy dinner and chicken soup as needed. Absolutely love Tredici!!“
“Considering I studied abroad in Italy and lived there as a 16 year old, I know Italian when I see it.At Spasso’s, it’s exactly that. From the Service to the food to the atmosphere. The food was everything Italian. The sauces were blended with home grown Italian spices and the calamari was as fresh a crisp as can be.The Seafood pasta that had can with a red blush sauce. The fresh seafood stood out amongst the sauce although it was very well seasoned.Not to mention, the bread, just like Italy. From the wooden floors to the dim lighting, I thought I had took a trip to Europe and landed in Italy.Spasso’s, try it for yourself!“
“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.“
“It didn’t taste the same as how they used to taste to me. It’s been a few years since I’d been there. It was missing something. I remember the hoagies being so so good. I don’t know. But it just wasn’t mouth watering like I remember. Service was great. They were nice and friendly. But I’m not giving up that easily. I’ll be back and try them again.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Parking Parking Parking..... Plan ahead for parking.... It can take some time. Area parking is free after 6pm (3/2024). Food, service, atmosphere and seating was well organized & executed. Cocktail selection is excellent. Every dish was well prepared and plated to perfection -the kitchen team knows what they're doing. Touché to the management to create such an excellent team. Will be back when I am in the area.“
“One of my favorite places in Philadelphia!Member’s only, been a member since they reopened.Superb cocktails! Amazing dishes, great food. Menu changes often enough and they do specials throughout the year for events. Top tier experiences there always.Wonderful staff and an intimate space.Don’t have any favorites to share as things change enough that what I post about might not be on menu next time.“
“THIS is the place to be.What a wonderfully warm and friendly atmosphere, from the hostess to the servers to the other guests. 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. The menu selections are great and it’s difficult to choose - and then they have daily specials, which makes it even harder because you want to try it ALL!CASH only- no cards accepted.BYOB and the staff will gladly provide the appropriate glassware.Scannicchio’s is a family place…..the employees are all family and when you’re there you feel like family. MY family, we LOVE Scannicchio’s! It’s our family tradition. La mia famiglia. Mangia bene.Parking: Parking is where we you find a spot! Usually a spot can be found on Broad Street.“
“Food was amazing! We almost didn't come here because they didn't have many reviews but we are so glad we did. Food was exceptional and the service was fantastic . We started with the beet salad and octopus, shared the branzino and finished with the tiramisu. We can't wait to come back!“
“Incredible night at DePaul's Table. The food and service were impeccable from the Bone Marrow Appetizer to the Shell Fish Tower and the 22 oz Dry Aged Delmonico Steak. The pictures don't justify the experience. Anthony and Kevin, thank you for a great night. We will be back.“
