Worst Dining Experience Ever – I can't believe that my husband and I dined at the same restaurant that is being reviewed. My husband and I had reservations but were told when we arrived that the only place we could sit was in the bar area. Since that is near the windows, we didn't complain. It took about 20 minutes before our drink order was taken. The appetizer was good but the rolls were hard and cold. We ordered a good bottle of wine and two different pastas for our main course. The pasta came about 20 minutes before our ... read more
Incredible authentic Italian food and excellent service! – It's obvious that Le Castagne is high priced-but the quality and taste of the food is worth every penny-especially if you go during restaurant week, which is when I most recently visited. The menu was incredible-varied selection of salads, appetizers, pastas and meat-and of course a delicious desser sampler. Everything my partner and I had was delicious-from the assagi vari appetizer to the veal scallopini-everything was cooking perfectly. The veal was extremely tend... read more
Great Italian meals – I went to Le Castagne for Restaurant Week. Nice ambiance, but had to wait at least a half hour to be seated, even with a reservation. They seated another couple that came in after us because they had asked for a table near the window when placing their reservation - that was very frustrating. But all of the food was very good. We had the platter of italian meats and cheeses. Delicious! We also had bruscetta and a pasta dish for dinner. The pasta was good, but overpriced for what it is. I was disappointe... read more
Still Amazing – I recently enjoyed an exceptional dinner -- the malfatti with pumpkin was sinful. Every time I go to this restaurant I am amazed. The menu is innovative and interesting. They constantly achieve new highs with their menu choices. A place like this deserves best of Philly pasta and should be the best Italian restaurant in Philly. I cannot say enough about this treasure on Chestnut.
Very good food, could use improvement on service – Food is quite good here, the pasta excellent, and the prices reasonable. Many dishes were around $19 which is a good deal for an elegant space like this. They have a very creative menu, and could rate near a 10 if they iron out some service issues. They seem to be understaffed. I think I saw one waiter and one waitress working the entire room, and another person taking care of dessert orders. Although our waitress was very pleasant, there were gaps in service. After being se... read more
Best Food in Philadelphia! – I am an avid reader Philly Mag and when they announce the Best of Philly each year I make it a point to search out the best of restaurants and try them for myself! This restaurant has not only the best pasta in Philadelphia but all of the food there was excellent! We went twice so far since the magazine came out and already have plans to go for a third time. This is definitely the place to go for the best food.
best pasta, bread, and wine – I dont mind waiting for a table if the food is good, and let me tell you it is!!! I would wait an hour for the gnocchi truffle. Everytime I go there the menu has something new and exciting, I tried antelope the other night and it is awesome. Everyone need to go. Great!
Beware of hostess! – Wine list may be great, but service is poor. Without warning, our table was given away when a member of our party ended up arriving about 10 minutes late. People who walked in after us were then seated while we waited an additional 20 minutes. We were given a blank piece of paper from a cash register when we asked for a comment card! As for the food, we never waited to find out because we left.
Best kept secret – I have been to this establishment many times and I am always impressed by the selections on the menu. Every time I go, there is always something new to try. Their wine list is impressive with great values to be had and the cuvenee is also impressive. I recommend it to all of my friends and never heard a bad word said. The pasta is to die for and the decor is right out of Milan. (Actually it is as it was all imported from Northern Italy)
