Cozy romantic Italian BYOB – A wonderfully down to earth BYOB in Northern Liberties with great food and thorough, unpretentious service. Make reservations as it fills up quickly!
Risotto in a box- we must have ordered the wrong thing – Our first impressions were: cute atmosphere, friendly service, and Zagat-rated (so it must be good, right?). Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. That aside, dinner was disappointing. Our "misto" platter included olives that tasted like they were from a can, some nasty fried mushrooms, and lukewarm roasted vegetables. The entrees, both $15, were just short of horrendous. My pasta had canned olives (again)-- shouldn't authentic Italian food have real olives??? My ... read more
The saddest thing – I had been going to Il Cantuccio for years, and in the begining they were hands down my favorite restaurant, the food, was the closest i had to when I was in Italy. BUT recently i have been becoming more and more disheartened with the food and especially the service. As a whim i decide to check out what was being said about different restaurants in the city thru this service when i came across the site for this restaurant i felt the need to give my opinion, especially since I knew this place in its prime.... read more
worse and worse – A third disappointing visit to this restaurant. Each time the food and service is sloppier and sloppier - perhaps because they are successful and they don't feel really need to care about the quality of the food and service anymore. There were human hairs in my dish and the other dishes were made without any care and little flavor. Their main goal was to see how quickly they could rush people in and out. They say they take reservations, but the first two times we went we had to wait 45 minutes even though w... read more
Incredible food, BYOB, intimate comfortable setting – The food is delicious, hands down. The lasagna, to die for, as is the appetizer tasting plate. The restaurant is small, only a dozen tables, but they are not on top of each other at all. Has low lighting, great for intimate conversation. romantic in a nice, subtle way, not overly so. i really like it b/c there is no pressure to act romantic either. BYOB. Also, good for small group, like four close friends who want to catch up over a bottle of wine. i have never seen kids ... read more
Best food and service – I went to Il Cantuccio for dinner and it was the best ever. It's a resturant that i highly recommend. Bring the whole family they'll love it. I have to thank Rita the server, she was great!!
Simple, delicious italian cooking in a tiny B.Y.O.B. – In Short The decor is simple and rustic in this tiny corner trattoria, and with only twelve tightly spaced tables, the dining room fills up quickly on weekends. But the sound of steam and grilling turn the close quarters into pleasantly rousing experience. The menu is as simple and rustic as the atmosphere. Pasta dishes are fresh and excellent, but the fettuccine Nere is a standout, served with clams, shrimp and roasted tomato.
Great food, great service! – After reading some not so positive reviews about Il Cantuccio's inability to handle a large group, we were very apprehensive about having a birthday celebration there. We had a party of 13. The staff at the restaurant was very efficient and friendly, not at all rude. The only rudeness we experienced came from other diners who did not appreciate our humor! The food was wonderful (unbelievable seafood special that we will never forget).
Don't expect to finish your wine or coffee! – Food was good and fresh, but don't expect to finish your wine or coffee. The hostest brought us our check, in which we promptly paid, and two minutes later the "chicken hawk" swooped in and told us we had to leave b/c the next table had a young boy and he was outside freezing (it was 65 degrees outside!). We acknowledged the request, but continued to finish our wine. So did the table next to us who was told the same thing. Three minutes later, the chicken hawk came back again and... read more
