Being Italian, and from South Philly, I'm pretty hard to impress when it comes to Italian food. This place has become our go-to spot for our weekly date nights as well as whenever we want to entertain friends over  dinner.
The service is very good - we've only had a problem once with getting our bread... But for the most part, service has never disappointed us.
Atmosphere is nice, the lighting could be a little more intimate for evening dining, but it's not bad enough to ruin the experience.
Prices are reasonable... Not cheap but definitely not expensive.
Definitely would recommend this place. My wife and I go there at least once a week. read less

Really yummy, excellent fast delivery service with a really hunky delivery guy,friendly girl on the phone, a little expensive but totally worth it.  Big portions and yum!!

I have eaten here a lot over the years. Food is always really good, service is excellent and everyone is always friendly. No problem recommending this place to people even the fussy ones.

Love this place! The food is delicious. From the the pizza and sandwiches to the veal entrees! Fantastic waitstaff and BYOB!

This is our go to close to home restaurant and would recommend to anyone in the area. First, it's a BYOB, which is always great, and we have never had a bad meal or service here!

The food was delivered on time by the nicest guy who offered to help me carry everything to the pool area where the rest of my family was waiting.

Could be the best Veal Parmesan I've ever had. Super flavorful, tender veal. Pasta cooked perfectly. Really doesn't get better.

Last night i had the Risotto Christian, beef tips, shrimp, asparagus, with all the flavors. The risotto was cooked to perfection. My fiance had the cowboy steak. It came in a delicious wine gravy with thinly sliced vegetables. We ordered the buffalo mazarello tower as an appetizer. Its slices of mozzarella and tomato wrapped in prosciutto with drzzled balsamic glaze. The bread is always warm and crispy served with roasted red peppers and onions. For dessert we split the limoncello cake. Every bite had a wonderful crisp lemon flavor. This place continues to rate 5 stars. Fantastic food and excellent wait staff! read less

We know this is our go to place for AMAZING Italian food. I have never been disappointed with the food )which always comes out hot, fresh, and exactly how it was ordered), the wait service or the ambiance. The only thing I do recommend is calling ahead to reduce your wait time, because sometimes on Saturdays or Friday evenings you can be waiting for a bit if you don't call ahead. Needless to say, this is one of our favorite eateries and we are always completely satisfied with the food and the service. We will be customers  for years to come! read less

Also the staff is so friendly! Sure, it might take some time for your food to come out but that's only because it's fresh and home made! It'll take some time!

We ordered food delivered and I tell you what, I loved their version of grandma's pie.  Fresh roma tomatoes, garlic, fresh mozz and crust soaked in virgin olive oil.  Quite frankly that's one of the primary reasons I don't mind visiting the Philly, New Jersey area.  They got good food. read less
