Italian Restaurants near Drexel Hill

“I can only really comment on their sandwiches, which are FANTASTIC. I normally get the Roast Beef or Pork Abruzzi sandwiches and they're great. The stuffed pepper shooters on them are top notch. I sometimes wish their was a bit more cheese on them tho. Sandwich prices are mostly reasonable for what you get.Their chicken cutlet sandwiches are also really really good, better than anywhere else in the area that I've tried ??“

“Wooooo, they are awesome! Staff is great. Food is amazing! The menu might confuse you but if you got the wrong thing, you'll still like what you get. The ambiance here is sometimes empty and sometimes packed. I don't live in the area but that's where I go to get pizza if I'm in that area“

“Ate there yesterday and friendly Atmosphere, very friendly and excellent food“

“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.“

“Very nice server, Skylar, who was prompt, caring, attentive, and nice. She is a very nice representative for the restaurant. We appreciated her service and attention.“

“Great restaurant - highly recommended“

“The good is absolutely amazing“

“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.“

“Awesome food, especially the baratta!!“

“celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday last night and everything was perfect.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and staff was friendly“

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.“

“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!“

“Awesome experience! Great food! Excellent service!“

“Great service, great food, great atmosphere!!!!!?“

“Not child friendly need more option“

“We had a beautiful time celebrating a family friends wedding service was the best so was the food.“

“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!“

“Amazing atmosphere with incredible service and great food! Thank you Bellini!“

“Fantastic sandwiches. Quality ingredients and very well seasoned.“

“First time there and everything was very nice…the food was great and service was fantastic! Looking forward to going back again soon! Thank you for a great time!“

“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.“

“Amazing sandwiches and warm staff! Never disappointed when I order from here“

“Amazing food! Start with the Caesar salad.“

“Fantastic atmosphere with family style dining. The food was amazing. Classic Italian dishes with modern flare. This first generation Italian American was impressed.“

“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.“

“Was very nice people friendly“

“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!“

“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.“

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!“

“We love all of the Pier restaurants! Brain and team work hard at making the atmosphere welcoming and their food is creative and delicious!“

“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!“

“Wow! Unbelievable experience. Great staff, ambiance, decor, chef, FOOD! The list goes on. I love the idea of this being member ship only as it's not accessible to just anyone, which makes it that much more exciting of an experience! I will be talking about this experience until I am lucky enough to get back again... 10/10! Love it!!“

“Hoagies are good, Bread fresh and Good customer service“

“I went for takeout for a quick lunch and was so impressed. I had their daily special cold sandwich which had mozzarella and mortadella with balsamic and a chocolate custard which was amazing. I showed up in the middle of lunch rush and didn’t have to wait long at all. Will definitely keep them in mind for sandwiches.“

“Drove two hours round-trip for my first visit to boardwalk vegan today. The food and service were excellent. The manager was amazingly nice and accommodating. Worth the trip. Highly recommend!“

“Great meal! Could have ordered just appetizers and been plenty full! Brussel sprouts were fantastic. Service was great and lemoncello to finish the meal was a nice touch!“

“The food is fresh and delicious! We’ve in a few times and our servers have always been great too. The decor is gorgeous. A few times they have donated their amazing food to the teachers at my kids’ school for teacher appreciation luncheon. This is one of my favorite restaurants!!“

“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.“

“the Food is to die for! specials are awesome. Wait staff excellent and nice. We are frequent there!“

“great food and the staff were all so friendly!“

“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)“

“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.“

“Burrata in Havertown never disappoints. Can’t go wrong with specials.“

“Excellent food and cocktails! We rarely get all the dishes prepared perfectly and they knocked it out of the park. We had the chickpea fritters, seared Hokkaido scallops, king salmon crudo, spaghetti squash and crab, and the vegetarian pasta special. My cocktail, the Fast Fashion was a delectable take on a martini but even better! The white wine was an Italian wine that paired nicely or could be easily drank on its own. Nick was our server and friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful with our selections. The vibe is elegant and understated. Membership is reasonable and well worth it if you love food. Thanks for an amazing meal!“

“excelente servicio no se diga la comida recomendada al 100%“

“Huge fan - their thin crust pizzas are my family’s favorite in the area. We also love the Nonna’s pie - square, but thinner crusted than a Sicilian pie with a excellent cheese blend and just a bit of heat/spice. Also, save room for the tiramisu - home made by Paola and seriously the best I’ve ever had!“

“Lovely ambience with excellent food. Excellent staff. Perfect date night spot“
