I love La Porta especially their pizza dishes. They are awesome!!! The only downside is the quote time on take out. If I'm quoted 20 minutes its NEVER ready when I get there. I wait anywhere from 5-20 more minutes. It drives me nuts, but I love the food.

It was cold in their dining room and when I mentioned it they agreed.The Italian classic sub was OK, not what I would call "classic and the turkey made with stuffing bread was very good - just too much bread.Service was good until we wanted to leave - couldn't find him - had to get help from the cashier.Bought some cookies fro our car ride - very good.

We were quite disappointed on the quality of the food. Seemed like boxed pasta and the sauces were poor. Prices were too high for the quality and service left much to be desired.

This is our 3rd time at Casa Mia for dinner (they open @ 4 PM). Unfortunately this dining experience was Average overall at best. The Bruschetta & Chicken Barley Soup (with vegetables) were both Very Good. We had a Margherita Pizza with Extra Cheese. It was served lukewarm & difficult to eat - the crust was on the hard side and 1 piece the crust on the bottom was burned near the edge. For dessert we had Limoncello Cake (good) & Baklava (terrible). The restaurant buys the Limoncello cake (we saw the box in the refrigerator). The Baklava was served COLD & it could NOT be cut with a knife & fork. We brought this to our serverâs attention, but she insisted it should be served cold, contrary to every other restaurant where itâs been served at room temperature, in our experience.Although some things were good, overall our meal & dining experience was disappointing, especially considering cost / value ratio. Weâre not anxious to return anytime soon.

Little Anthony's has always been a 5/5 for me. The food is still great (check out the pizzas, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, wings), but the last time I called the guy on the phone was in a rush and came across as rude, which is something I've never experienced from Little Anthony's before. That was disappointing.

As we were passing through the area, our hotel receptionist recommended this restaurant because it's entertaining for kids. The children can look through the window and watch the pizza being made and they are given a big doe a pizza to play with. The dough before it's cooked. My kids loved making cool things out of it and running their fingers through it.With that all being said, the cheesesteaks we got were huge and was the amount for two. And they were tasty.We are thrilled to hear that your kids enjoyed playing with the pizza dough and watching the pizzas being made! Thank you for sharing such a fantastic experience with us!

Nine family members went to Ariano to celebrate a birthday. If you donât mind a little Media traffic, you can park in the garage across the street-and itâs free on the weekends. Ariano looks like a small corner property, but is three floors. We were placed on the third floor with square tables butted together. It felt tight juggling the tall hardback menus with the water glasses, but it was a nice area. Paintings depicting Italian street scenes adorned the ceiling and the lighting was reminiscent of outdoor street lamps. I would not recommend the third floor for the very young or old due to the winding staircase with no gate at the top where a youngster could fall.We ordered a variety from personal pizzas (enough for two if you add a side or app), risotto, and fish. I had the pizza benevento because I wanted to taste their meatballs on it as well as the dough. The crust was a little too thin for me, as it did not hold the ingredients like I normally prefer, but still good. The crust was nice, but I canât say they hit it out of the park. The dish that impressed me was the tricolle risotto. The beef was tender and flavorful, and I would order it after just one taste. Everyone claimed the fish - from sea bass to clams to mussels - was fresh. I was also impressed with the large portions. Several of us took home doggie bags. Our waitress, Maggie, was friendly and made extra trips upstairs. It was very kind of her when she made an extra trip to retrieve the beer list. The servers were attentive and came upstairs three or four times, filling water and clearing dishes. When I say âcame upstairsâ itâs really an effort climbing two flights and we were appreciative. The gelato is a bit pricey, but pretty authentic and we wondered if they had ordered machines from Italy.If youâre looking for pasta dishes, though, you will have to visit their sister restaurant.

We were here for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded both inside and outside seating. A man with his son had already finished his dinner and was desperately trying to get somebody to take his money, I'm not sure if he ever accomplished that or just left but he waited a long time and no one came. Same with us, we waited quite a while before anyone asked if we wanted to order but we finally did, and the food here is really good, we had mussels and then a pizza. We will return and I have a goal, either get a glass of water refilled or asked if we would like a second drink. I have high hopes.

Reviewed By Judy and Bill D
In our 2,000 mile road trip, this was our best dinner by far. The service was outstanding, each course exceptional, and price was a true value. We ate lamb and veal, and the portions were extravagant. We ate outside because of the beautiful evening weather which was so nice. But the unique taste of all the offerings were what was most memorable. The only downside for us was the BYOB. As travelers we weren't prepared, but waitstaff showed us a local liquor store, so we bought some chianti that paired with our meals quite well (and ended up cheaper than had we bought as usual at the restaurant.). Just a wonderful, wonderful meal. Wished we lived close by to experience more menu offerings. If we return to the Philadelphia area, there is no doubt we will be back!
