We just moved back to Philly after many years gone. Fitler Square was one of my old neighborhoods. I happened upon Coteletta by accident looking for a place to eat Friday evening. So happy we found it! A cozy place on the edge of Fitler Square. Calm ambience. A real neighborhood place with excellent menu and wonderful service. Chicken Parm and the veal piccata very good. Arugula salad w red peppers and huge hunks of parmigiana excellent. For us it's the perfect place to go chill out and have a lovely dinner. Love the menu choices. It was tough to choose. My only criticism is the wine pour. I'm still amazed that most every establishment is so very stingy , counting the ounces and making sure what you've ordered does not go above that line on the wine glass! Make your customers happy by giving them glass of wine that doesn't disappear after 4 sips! Be more generous.

Extremely Disappointed! They have offered a number of main courses, either Chicken or Veal. Last night only chicken which I was not in the mood for! One Special Bronzino! Don't Think I'd go back! Much too limited

An absolute gem of a restaurant! I luckily came in on a Tuesday night where there was live music. Absolutely loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and the FOOD... outstanding. The mussels with red sauce was fantastic (I asked for two whole baskets of bread because I wanted to make sure to finish all of the fresh sauce). I have never eaten mussels so tasty before. I highly also recommend the linguini with clams -- so much flavor packed in the soup!!!

Might have tried chicken parm at 20 restaurants in Philly. This one is the best. Thin, crispy & an actual solid

Always a great time at this neighborhood gem! Great food, drinks and service! This is our go to restaurant for delicious, fresh food and the BEST Chicken Cutlets and Chicken Piccata anywhere!
An impressive family operated business. Absolutely in LOVE with the calamari and their Cotoletta Stack. I look forward to laughing again soon with the Amadio family at their restaurant. Great food, good drinks and wonderful company!
Fabulous food as always. I've been to Cotoletta several times and have always ordered the chicken parm. The chicken parm here is the best, and a large portion so you can get two meals out of it. Last night, when the waitress read the specials I decided I'd try something new. I ordered the gnocchi Marsala. OMG, it was amazing and perfect. The mushrooms were fresh and it was delightfully rich. Our waitress Autumn was great too. Always a wonderful experience at Cotoletta.

We had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to get seated; once seated, we waited another 15 minutes before a waitress even came to the table for a drink order. 10 more minutes for drinks. It seemed they had one, maybe two wait staff for the entire restaurant. Our orders were mixed up. A table nearby that was seated 30 minutes after us was eating its dinner while we were still waiting for ours. TERRIBLE service overall and experience. We would NEVER return

Dang are these cutlets bangin. My wife got a meal that she loved, but I got the chicken parm and the cutlets were perfect. There was a crunch to the chicken that I am always looking for, and that combined with the delicious sauce and provolone and a generous portion of cutlets made a meal that I will not forget anytime soon. Can’t wait to go back.
The cutlets were absolutely amazing. The crunch was perfect and the taste was even better. Cannot wait to go back. I am pretty sure my wife is sick of me talking about how good the cutlets were but they really were.
What a great spot. I don't ever write reviews but I just had to after enjoying the chicken parm from here. My wife got the chicken picatta. So thin and crispy. Man it was so good.

Food was average and the menu was underwhelming. We ordered the Cacio de Pepe which we remembered as delicious and it was a little more than spaghetti in a liquid puddle of cheese. The stack and the pasta special were the best part. All dishes came out plain looking. Service however was good and attentive.

This a wonderful neighborhood place with delicious food, drink and friendly service. There was plenty to choose from and chef easily accommodated a dairy allergy. We will definitely return.
We came in NY Eve so it was packed. The food is great and the ambiance is nice. The only down part is that it is difficult to find parking around the area. I will come back but may need to take the Uber next time to the place.
