About this business

The Victor Cafe is nothing like your usual, run-of-the-mill Italian restaurants - for one, it is over 90 years old, secondly, it employs waiters with voices of angels! Located on Dickinson, this exceedingly popular dining destination has its waiters belting out divine arias, owing to its love for classical music. This may seem a little nontraditional for some, but Victor caters to those who like a little bit of culture in their daily routines. The ambiance is relaxed yet elegant, and authentic, Italian offerings such as clam... read more

I am really grateful that we have this place handy. I like the fact that this is a pretty convenient store, they also have a wonderful meat section.

dissapointing – Unfortunately, the beautiful waiters and waitresses were so understaffed it was painful to watch them work so hard and entertain the customers at the same time.

great food/amazing singers – the only con for me - is that if this restaurant was a byob it would be the best. but thats just me. the waitstaff is very attentive, knowledgeable, come back often to check on you. AND of course, the reason most people come here - because the watiers and waitresses are all trained opera singers! they are amazing and it is so much fun! the portions are large and the food is very tasty. during the week, there is never a wait and it is not too noisy or crowded. the prices are a little high - but no... read more

Bad waiter ruined it for us – My husband and I chose to go to this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary based on the good reviews found on the internet. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly when we arrived. I got the impression that the hostess was probably one of the owners. We were greeted by our waiter an placed our drink orders. Then 20 minutes passed. No drinks. Or bread that everyone else seemed to have. Our waiter passed us many times and did not even make eye contact. 30 minutes after we were seated,... read more

Entertaining atomsphere – The opera singing waiters make it much more than a dinner. We celebrated my fathers 80th birthday here and brought along our 11 & 13 kids. The short little interludes break up the dinner and make it a night out not just a nice dinner. The owners didn't know us at all but made a special effort to accommodate us.

Incredible dining experience! Great date place!! – Was in town from Texas, visiting a few friends in Philly and we had the pleasure to dine at The Victor Cafe. Absolutely incredible dining experience and a very unique atmosphere. The servers take turns belting out beautiful opera songs every 15 minutes. The food was GREAT as well. We eat out alot, and have all over the world, and our Victor Cafe experience is certainly up at the top of our dining experiences!! Would make for a great date place as well...

One of the last, great, family-owned Italian restaurants around... – Where do I begin? My dining experience at Victor Cafe was nothing short of spectacular. I took a date there a while ago on the recommendation of a friend. This is a place where "Grammy," who incidentally is pushing 90 years old, spends the entire day in the kitchen concocting new specials with the freshest ingredients available. When your server decides to break into song (which he or she will), the music may enchant you as much as gazing on the black and w... read more
