Simply fantastic. Expansive menu. Each dish was some of the best we’ve had even besting some South Philly haunts. Linguine vongole was off the charts good, chicken parm was perfect, housemade marinara and meat sauces both incredible. Interior is old school adding to the charm. Bravo!!

Our experience is a once a week experience. It is like our family special, outstanding ,caring people. The food is outstanding wonderful selection. Sal who tries to take the time from working preparing food comes out to welcome everyone. I love the variety to choose from. Valet Parking the guys are great !Parking: Valet parking has plenty of spots to park. You would love the fact that it is close to enter and leave, the location is great! They do not have a fee BUT we give a tip (something that shouldn’t even think about).
So fantastic it reminds me of my mother's cooking I can't believe I never came here before after living in Rhode Island for 60 years this is one our regular places now

We've eaten here a number of times and it is always a wonderful experience. Old-world ambiance, consistently good food, and polite and attentive service.Parking: Don't be put off by the oft-grumpy valet.

Sal everything was wonderful !!! Great food drinks and wine.The service was excellent everyone made us feel right at home. Quite a celebration A tavalo non si invecchia.
An italo-american place like heaven. You can feel the vibrations of the old days. Actually I was waiting for some mobsters to get in, but nope - things have changed ;-) Really food, great wine, superb service! What a great ristorante!!

Constructive criticism first: 1-We were asked if we had reservations, I said no. Restaurant 25% full, we were given a choice of the 2 worst tables in the building, when we left, it was still only 25% full. 2- Oil and a small dish was put down for bread, but we never got bread, every table had bread but us. 3- When ready to leave, I asked for the check, I was given a hand written check. I said to the waiter that there was no place for the tip, he took the hand written check and brought back a cash register computer written check. I don’t know why I was given a hand written check from the 1950’s like I was at brighams in the first place. Now the positive: Food was expensive, but abundant. I had chicken parm which was delicious along with a small dish of ziti. We also got fettuccine alfredo, very good and abundant. The outside of the building was beautiful and the inside was a bit rundown(new carpet needed)but still cozy looking. I liked the food and if I had a better table I could look past the subpar service. That’s my honest evaluation.

Service was poorNeeds to refurbish the inside a bit(dirty carpet)Food was plentiful and excellent, try the chicken parm and hot mushroom capsOutside of building was beautiful across from a parkOur waiter was just calling it in…absolutely no desire to be at the top of his game. This place with the best food around, has the potential to be packed all day/night but need to tweak a few things.
