absolutely terrrrrrrible! – I, along with 4 other women, made a 6:30 reservation for a Saturday. After the server placed our order he came back to tell us that the prices for the appetizers would be double!! (Not listed on the menu) Let's just say that a $20 plate of fried calamari was not worth it! The other plates were not good (eggplant rollatini was slop, mozzarella was old and rubbery, mushrooms were soggy and hadn?t been drained properly.) $20 bucks for each of these is just ridiculous. At the end they had the audacity... read more
Wonderful Restaurant – I highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service are excellent. I have been there numerous times and it never disappoints.
Average Food and Service – I have been to almost every BYO in philly, and all I can say about this one is that it is average. The food was good, but nothing creative or exceptional. The service was also average- they were very polite but also forgot to get us an ice bucket 3 times for our wine. If you are in the area and want some good food, I would recommend it. But there are also very good BYO's around the corner that I think offer a more original menu.
Very Rushed – We went on a friday at 6:30. We were seated right away. The server and staff were friendly. The food was good, but not great. It was inexpensive, and B.Y.O.B which was nice. Our table was dirty, there were stains on the table cloth. They never asked us if we wanted dessert, they told us that we looked like we were already full. I asked for the tiramisu and the waiter said that i didnt want it cause it was cold, although the woman at the table across from me had some. Basically they needed our table for a big pa... read more
unfriendly service – We had dinner with some friends and it was the second time that we rushed out of the restaurant because they had to prepare the tables for another party. They served us so quickly that we didn't have time even to talk and as soon we were done, they took everything away and brought the check and 5 minutes later we were asked to leave. This was totally inappropriate.
Great Service, Great Atmosphere, Better Food – A group of 12 friends of mine went here for a birthday. They gave us a large table in the back so we could talk and be loud and not disturb the other patrons. The food came out in a timely fashion. Being from massachusetts i have had some good mussels before, but their mussel appetizer is among the best. Their tiramisu is also delectible. I highly recommend this place to others, i have been twice since.
DO NOT MAKE RESERVATIONS HERE – Do not try and make reservations here. They do not honor them. We had booked a party of 50 almost a year in advance for a rehearsal dinner and even attempted to put down a deposit, but the manager said it wasn't necessary. The restaurant called up less than 3 months before the wedding and said they couldnt honor the reservation because they were overbooked. This place is very poorly managed.
If you like salad out of a bag, this is the place for you! – My boyfriend and I went here for date night on a recommendation from my sister. We werent too thrilled with the entire experience. Upon arrival, we were quickly ushered to a table in the corner. The salad was out of a bag with NOTHING on the plate but lettuce. The soup was watery and just plain not good; lacking flavor and substance. Our meals were ok. I could have made them at home and they would have tasted the same, if not better. The timamasu had been frozen at... read more
HORRIBLE service! MEDIOCRE food at best. – I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. I know I will NEVER go to this restaurant again. The maitre d' was extremely rude, and the wait staff rushed us out of the restaurant because they had scheduled another reservation right after us. The restaurant kept claiming they had all these "rules." The food was mediocre at best, and you can probably cook better Italian food at home. Though it was not expensive, your money is better spent elsewhere!
