39 Best Italian Restaurants near Chester Springs

“A great local spot for food and drinks. The outdoor seating is spacious and perfect for the upcoming good weather.The menu is small and that’s a good thing because every dish gets the attention it deserves. My chicken was cooked to perfection and the fries are amazingThe atmosphere is great, there was a piano player providing live music for my Friday lunch. It has a local feel with authentic personality.I look forward to coming back to try everything on the menu and some beers.“

“A friend from work gets a bunch of different pizza's from Visco's and shares them with us. I can say they all taste great but the Visco's Special Pizza is amazing. All of the different toppings taste amazing. If you like mushrooms, definitely add them. I live 30 minutes away but I will frequent Visco's for sure.“

“Shout out to Limencello in Chester Springs. I had a baby shower yesterday April 13, 2024 for my daughter. They were so accommodating, the food was excellent. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was excellent. The price was very reasonable. A number of my guest complemented the restaurant and how nice the party was. They stated they liked the food and the MEATBALLS ! They were some kind of good Meatballs! If you are looking for a place for a private part/Event, I highly recommend Limencello in Chester Springs. Thank you Limencello and your Staff for helping make our day special. P.S. Give that waitress a raise , she worked so hard!“

“Primos can be great AND if you grew up eating from the first Primos in South Philly then you already know how great their hoagies should be. Enter the franchises… where they hire high schoolers who could care less about their job, don’t bother reading orders correctly or weighing the meats and cheeses. Also, these are privileged kids who don’t think they should have to work let alone take pride in working for the Primo name. I’m loyal to any corporate run Primos but not privately owned franchises. There’s a big difference.“

“We ordered pizza from here and it was wonderful. We had a complicated order and they got everything correct. It was only $35 for two pizzas with a ton of toppings. The pizza was delicious and the sausage was very high quality. The crust was nice and crispy and the vegetables were plentiful on the white pizza. Would love to try their other menu items as well.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies that can be added. Many pizza options without meat.“

“I just been eating their pizza recently maybe since last summer and specially their Giants Square pizza they’re Sicilian. It is so delicious I get it all the time everybody loves it. The food is really good.Only complaint, I don’t think I saw calamari on the menu “

“First timer and both the food and service were excellent. Tried some new dishes which were amazing. I highly recommend giving Failla's a try. I will be going back soon.Parking: They have handicapped parking along with plenty of parking on-site.Wheelchair accessibility: Ease of use using my wheelchair inside the restaurant.“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch on a rainy Friday afternoon. Was greeted by the pleasant staff and seated right away. Ordered the lunch special, minestrone soup and roast pork sandwich. The food was reasonably priced and served within minutes of ordering.The minestrone was just perfect for the chilly weather and was very hearty and delicious. The sandwich was also very tasty, and the salad was well dressed (usually I ask for dressing on the side but forgot this time and was not an issue at all). Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Wife and I have never had a bad meal here. Not once. We've eaten here several times, the latest being last night for a Valentine's Day reservation with another couple. It's unbelievable how consistently good the food is here. It doesn't matter what you order, because whatever they bring out is excellent. The drinks, the apps, the main dishes - all delicious. Everyone I know says the same thing. Gnocchi con Guancia di Maiale / Paccheri della Casa / chicken parm / mussels and calamari. All 10/10.“

“I just ate here tonight for the first time in at least ten years and it's even better than I remember from coming here as a kid. We went for my dad's 70th birthday and though it was busy as all hell our server (I think her name was Brianne) was awesome and totally on point. My brother better have tipped well.I had a Buffalo chicken steak which was amazing, my only complaint is that the Buffalo sauce was a little light and the fried onions were only slightly browned. Fortunately there was a delicious habañero hot sauce bottle on the table that made the steak mostly perfection.I'm not at all disappointed and will be returning.“

“Had a wonderful dinner there the other night while I was in town visiting family and friends. A nice table for two with plenty of light. The meatball appetizer was yummy, but be ready to share! I ordered the risotto special, which came with shrimp and a lobster tail, and it was delish. Wish I had saved enough room for tiramisu! Out waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!“

“We order from Caln all the time! Their food is amazing and there is so much to choose from. The inside is very clean, and the service is outstanding. I personally would recommend Caln Pizza & Pasta for any occasion, whether it be a pizza night with the family or grabbing some hot sandwiches to enjoy on your own!“

“Fine dining in the middle of nowhere. Excellent food that is well worth going to the middle of nowhere. It's a BYO so bring a bottle of wine. The tasting menu is excellent, but you must make reservations months in advance. But again, it is totally worth it.“

“Their cheese pizza is the best. They have few veggie options. They are a fast paced place so be ready to move quickly. Don’t take offense to that. They are just trying to move the crowd along during busy hour. We have order them for large kids party and they have always worked with us to accommodate. Would recommend to go here just for their cheese pizza. Their Greek salad is good.“

“We had the pleasure of eating at Sam's last week on a business trip to Downingtown. He opened the place in 1976 and it maintains that same vibe. My colleague and I both ordered a pizza cheese steak with pepperoni, onions and mushrooms. Wow! The bread and the love that went into making it! Make sure to save room for a stop at Sam's next time you're in town!“

“I've had dinner here on several occasions with friends and loved ones and I have to compliment the consistency of the food and the service. Both are excellent. This is a place I truly look forward to when I'm craving a nice pizza, a delicious course with meat, and even the desserts. I appreciate how this restaurant keeps the menu exciting and maintains a high standard for customer service. This is a special place for me and I can only wish for their continued success. Great work to all the hard working staff at Bella!“

“My husband and I celebrated his birthday at Dolce Zola. It didn’t disappoint! We enjoyed our pasta dishes. The sauces were delicious and the fresh pasta perfectly prepared. The Caesar salad had a bit too much dressing on it so next time we’ll ask for less. BYOB sealed the deal! We’ll be back!“

“Liberty Bell sandwich is delicious. My son always get the Anakin Solo Sandwich. It’s our go-to when my son and I are on our own for dinner. Like a tradition… “Tonight it’s America’s Pie” We always say we’re going to try another sandwich but never happens ?. Friendly. Consistent. Delicious. And always feels quick when ordering pick-up.“

“Pomod'oro just catered a company luncheon and oh my goodness....so good! Meatballs! Vegetable lasagna (which I never had but loved)! Caesar salad! Roasted peppers! Bruschetta! I could go on. Fortunately I found a container I could take some leftovers home in! They were even better! ?“

“A very kind owner I walked in to buy some pizza and he gave me the pizza for free very generous guy I told him I was doing Uber and I was working on night and to tell you the truth I did not really have a lot of money to spend it was such a blessing to receive the pizza for free and believe it or not the pizza was actually great I would recommend anyone to go to Dimitri's God bless that owner he deserves everything he gets“

“Santinos is our new go to spot thanks to Nicole! She makes it such a welcoming, homey environment.. she truly remembers her customers and makes sure they are taken care of while you're here! AND she makes the most incredible (orange) cosmo! Great food, great drinks and even better company! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in last minute to order dinner for two. They weren't busy inside, but I'm not sure what the takeout side was looking like. Service was friendly and fast with suggestions as I had never been there before. I was outside waiting, and it was brought out to me. I appreciated that. The cheese steak bites were a big hit! Definitely try those, yummy! Thank you“

“Was there for lunch this week. Food was really good and very plentiful. I had the pork sandwich. Very juicy and tender. My wife had chicken tenders and fries. Nicky prepared and presented. Our one friend had a meatball sandwich with fries and the other had a chicken but. We all left with boxes of leftovers.The service was slower than expected but a group of 12 came in right after us and had not called ahead.Have been there twice before for dinner and enjoyed both times“

“Been here twice now and the food is amazing. High quality, reasonable prices, great menu choices. The people are friendly and the decor is clean and appealing. Got a burger and it was delicious and thick. Definitely a go to for Italian food!“

“As a Downingtown local, Anthony’s is a staple go to spot! The food is always great and there’s a good amount of options on the menu. On the weekends at peak times the service can slow a little and atmosphere has been iffy once or twice as tables are moved around and finagled to make room for more patrons. Both totally understandable. Would recommend a reservation if going for dinner on a weekend for sure!“

“I just had one of the best pizzas here at Gennaro’s Chicago Style Pizza that I have had for a while. Also great service from the person behind the counter, maybe the owner?I came in to get a regular cheese thin crust pizza, but the person asked me if I ever tried any of their deep dish pizza. I said no. He talked me in to trying their Turnover Artisan Pan Sicilian Pizza. Very, very good! Light crispy crust, delicious cheeses, and such flavorful tomato sauce. I can’t wait to get another one soon.“

“Chicken corn chowder soup is the best. My son loves the pizza and cheese steaks, as he works a couple of stores down and is always eating your food! I love your Buffalo chicken quesadillas. The atmosphere is always nice, and all employees are always hard-working. Best pizza spot in town in my “

“Dropped in here for brunch while on a bike ride. Got the mimosa brunch board for 2. That included 2 mimosas and enough food for two to share. Plus some aperol spritz. Great experience from the time we were greeted by the host till the time we left.“

“Luciano's has been my wife & I's go to restaurant for our weekly to-go dinner for quite awhile. The food is always fresh, delicious, & flavorful. Last night we had an anomaly with our experience where both of our dishes we brought home were not what we had ordered. After calling the restaurant to make them aware of it, they not only quickly remade our order to what we had originally ordered, but they also threw in some extras to help make up for the inconvenience. Amazing customer service! It is a gem of a locally owned & operated Italian restaurant. A must try if you have never been before!“

“The family that owns this restaurant is awesome and they go above and beyond to produce quality delicious food. Every time I’m in the West Chester area and I’m craving a cheese steak, wings or pizza I choose Vanos!Parking: Plenty of spots to park.Kid-friendliness: The whole family owned establishment has a friendly inviting atmosphere and is ran by great people.Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible!“

“My friend's Vicki and Tom took me to dinner at Trattoria San Nicola. The food and service were excellent. I will definitely return in the future as finances permit. Thanks to everyone at the restaurant. Paul S. HeimersParking: The restaurant has a large amount of parking but is so popular the lot fills up quickly.“

“So. It's been quite awhile since my family and I have been to Anthony's in Malvern. I have to say that the more they renovate the worse the restaurant becomes. We took my dad there for his 76th birthday. There were 7 of us altogether. My wife kids and grandson arrived first at 5:15. It was not crowded-there were many tables available for seating. The hostess informed my wife that we could not be seated at a table until all of our guests were in the restaurant. We were a bit confused by this since we had never experienced this before at Anthony's or anywhere else. I told the hostess that my father was a minute out-nonetheless, we could not sit at a table until he arrived. Which was baffling due to the fact that there were at least 10 tables open and no wait. The funny thing is we did not ask to sit down-we were informed that we would not be seated until all guests had arrived. When we spoke to the owner after we bein seated-upon the arrival of our one missing guest-he informed us that this has always been the policy and the main reason is to keep the wait staff from having to come back to the table and explain the specials a second time to the late arrivals or have to take a second drink order. Honestly if my server can't take the time to do that-I will not be able to take the time to figure out what 20% is! After this baffling exchange no specials were explained, we were instructed they were written on the first page of the menu. Which is fine by me if I don't know what something is I'll ask. Now I would have been willing to let all this nonsense slide-we don't get a chance to dine out often-but-and this is the truly disappointing part to all of this. The food was not good. At all. In the past, before the place was remodeled-and they added a bar etc etc the food was magnificent. Our service at this visit was excellent minus the bumpy start but somewhere along the path of expansion and remodeling-the quality and quantity of food has been forgotten. It wasn't just myself who thought this either. There were 7 of us and 5 of our clan were not impressed with the food. Enough so that this will be our last trip to Anthony's of Malvern. It wasn't so much about the whole seating "policy". The facts are -we go out to eat on special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, we work hard so we deserve a night out, those types of occasions. I/we want to enjoy the food we order to celebrate those occasions. I ordered the raviolis with two meatballs topped with their pink sauce. The raviolis were overcooked, the meatballs tasted as if they were 1/2 bread crumbs and the pink sauce was bland and unsatisfying. We make the Irish version of pink sauce at home by combining 1/2 jar of Alfredo with a 1/2 jar of marinara. It's not great but it is certainly tastier than what I was served last night. As my wife and kids tell me I've lectured too long! Save yourself the hassle and trade in the Anthony's of Malvern for the Anthony's if Downingtown. In a society that puts so much emphasis on the outside beauty of things, the old adage is true. Beauty is only skin deep. Anthony's of Malvern may look spectacular, something on the inside needs mending. To put it nicely. I've only eaten at Olive Garden once or twice for a reason. It's not truly authentic Italian food. I would spend my money and eat there before sitting-not before all my companions arrive mind you- before dining at Anthony's again. They should be done with the seating policy as well as start a remodel on the quality of the food. As I stated in the beginning of this rant-we've eaten there for decades. We will visit the other Anthony's (Downingtown) when it's time to celebrate Italian style time. In the owner's defense-he did give my father a free piece of tiramisu for his birthday-even though he was late. Thanks“

“Excellent, family owned and operated pizza shop!Having moved here from Philly in 2022, we were on the hunt for good pizza.How hard can it be, right?Wrong!So many bad pizza places out here…you know, where it tastes and looks like Ellio’s cardboard pizza!? We were beginning to think we lived in a pizza desert…Then we found Giovanni’s!Hands down the best pie out here.Ever try a Detroit pizza? If not, you really need to order one from Giovanni’s.Wow!Their 16” pizza is also great, as is their cheesesteaks, wings, kids nuggets, and salads.Also, the family that owns Giovanni’s is extremely nice!We usually get pizza, salad, and nuggets from here every couple weeks.“

“I ordered two Italian Hoagies for traveling. They were not exactly sure what that meant, so I explained that I would be eating them the next day and they needed to wrap the vegetables and meat in plastic wrap. The hoagies were fabulous! I was raised on Philadelphia hoagies and these did not disappoint. I might suggest adding some oregano, but that is all. They were filled to overflowing with meat, cheese and veggies. They put the olive oil in a separate container, again for traveling. Very pleasant experience!“

“We had a wonderful lunch and will be coming back whenever in the area! Great food, awesome service, a friendly atmosphere. Roast beef sandwich was delicious as were the wings and fries. Tried some new (to me) fried pickles, cheese tots, funnel cake fries, and bacon wrapped marshmallows with chocolate sauce! All were delicious. Great service and felt welcomed by Stephanie and Caleb. Will be back with family and friends. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place was packed last time i was here but managed to find a seat at the bar pretty fast. Five dollar's for a lager draft i thought was a little high but maybe that's just me. All the food looked good that was coming from the kitchen. The remodel look's great also. I will be going back to this place again when i can. Five star from me guy's.“

“Very chill vibe byobVegetarian options: Salad options, eggplant parmigianaDietary restrictions: Gluten-free PizzaParking: Parking lot on both sides of building are free!Kid-friendliness: Yes, always!Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible by ramp.“

“Solid cheesesteaks, love the rolls, they don't skimp on the meat, but take a name down with every order so you don't mix them up and read the order back to the customer. I ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak and got a buffalo beef cheesesteak, another time I ordered 2 cheesesteaks and you thought we ordered 3.“

“Today, we had my sister's Bridal Shower at Fellini’s Cafe. Anthony & his team were wonderful from beginning to end. The venue was exactly what we needed for about 30+ ladies. Our food was absolutely delicious with plenty to take home! Tons of space for backdrop & ballons as well as specialty tables: gifts, favors, desserts, and mimosa bar!!! Thank you for a special day?“
