Best Italian food near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Reviews on Italian food in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Located just over a block from South Street, on 2nd Street, Stella offers good tasting pizza, full bar and lots of seating inside or a few tables outside. Service was very friendly, prices however were a tad high for some plates- pizzas were $10 and up, which was ok for personal size pizza, even two people could share the pizza if not too hungry, or combined with an appetizer; however the pasta plate we ordered, they come in small or large, was a ripoff: the small was $14 and it was a very small serving of pasta. Parking is on street, metered, check the signs.

A wonderful eating experience. This might be a just small restaurant in a neighborhood, but it is a big time restaurant. Everything is first rate: service, food, and atmosphere. Four people made it all happen, 2 chefs and 2 waiters. Dinner ran like clockwork. We enjoyed lamb chops, eggplant rollatini and clams and linguine. All the dinners were generous portions, tasty and nicely plated.

This is a tasting-menu only venue and is probably the best Philadelphia has to offer. Food, service, both OUTSTANDING. If I ever visit Philadelphia again I would dine here again. The food is FOODIE food, gourmet. Mix that with Italian and how could you go wrong?

We've been back here several times since I reviewed the Gran Caffe L'Aquila in downtown Philadelphia two years ago, And when a restaurant holds it's quality over that time, it deserves a fresh review and kudos for not losing its stroke. Since my last review was extensive, no need to be repetitious. Check out the menu. But better than menu items, this place has daily themed menus and great wine pairings inspired by regions in Italy. Sicily night this time. I strongly advise you to allow the server to guide you through the regional offerings and doubt you will be disappointed. And , of course, finish with the legendary gelato. our Amaretto Gelato with cookie was creamy and delicious. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Philadelphia and for that matter, on the East Coast. We even went back for brunch on the morning after our dinner. I'd say it is high-end, price-wise, but what's not pricey at great restaurants?

I always enjoy whatever I get at the cafe or the bistro. I especially like the lunch options. The food is fresh, healthy and there's always something interesting to choose from. There are some nice cocktails as well. I come a few times a year and it's always a good experience. Will be back for sure! I've also had the catering at work a few times and it's great and they always provide extra focaccia :)

This place has been on my âlistâ to visit. We took some family from out of town. What a great experience ! The service was great . Enjoyed all food. Portions are ample enough that you donât really need an appetizer.My only disappointment was that the upstairs isnât open during the week. Looks like a great place to go hang & drink a French martini ( on the menu- a must try).
