Customer Reviews

First time here tonight. My husband and I wanted to try a new Italian restaurant and we tried this place based on the reviews. The food and service was top notch. We had the smoked mozzarella appetizer, spaghetti with seafood , the salmon special , and the pistachio cream cake. Everything was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful indeed. Going inside makes me feel like I'm truly in Italy, the walls, decoration, setup of the tables everything was great. The food is one of a kind and thats what makes this place amazing, the brightness, color and texture is on point. Truly recommend this place for an Italian night. The only thing that sucks is that there isnt any regular drinks so its only wine.

Sat outside on a beautiful September night. We would've sat inside but they were full. I did make a reservation two weeks earlier but outside was the only availability. When I went inside to tell them that we have arrived no one approached me. I had to approach one of the waitresses. They told me to choose any seat I want outside. When we chose our seat and sat down, our server immediately approached us and we were off. It is a BYOB. So we chose our appetizers which our server recommended. We chose the grilled calamari as well as the smoked mozzarella. Both were outstanding. Then for our entrees, I choose Asobucco (it was a special.) the veal was cooked to perfection. It fell off the bone. The pasta was homemade and excellent. Would definitely recommend. The other entree pictured was shrimp and lobster with linguine. It was also excellent. For dessert we chose chocolate mousse cake. It was very good. As far as the service it was very good. My only complaint is that we asked for bread several times before it was brought to our table. Like I said, in the beginning, we sat outside so I did not get a chance to review the inside. It is very small so make sure you make your reservations early. Parking is not easy as well. It is free street parking but not many spots available. Uber if you can. For four people, our bill came to $240.

Phenomenal! This place is an institution, minimal seating. Very affordable for the quality of what you're getting. Lamb shank on special was incredibly tender. The ricotta gnocchi was great as well. Mussels in red broth were fantastic. The mussels themselves were quality. I appreciate that the restaurant has no "online presence" , just come in and you will not be disappointed. Also BYOB.

On the hunt for a truly authentic Italian restaurant--and after being disappointed by just about every other option--I finally found this place. It actually lives up to what "authentic Italian" is supposed to mean. The flavors and the care in the food truly matched what you'd expect at Nona's house for Sunday dinner. Highly recommend if you want to experience the closest thing to true Italian cooking in the city.

Absolutely amazing food. Great atmosphere and staff. I had the lamb shank special (I'd try and spell it but I'd do it no justice) in red sauce and pasta. The meat was so tender it fell off the bone just by looking at it. If you want great food and atmosphere then come here and feast. 10/10 would go back every time I'm in Philly. Skip the chain restaurants that serve fake Italian and come here instead. You won't be disappointed. Also get yourself a Canoli to finish it off. Update: was recently back in Philly and of course I had to get some more Italian from L'Angolo. Got the Orrechiette Duck and an awesome Caesar salad.
