“ The best Chicken Alfredo I’ve ever had! Lobster ravioli was amazing as well with the Veal Parmesan. Staff was super friendly and the owner came over to talk with us for a little bit too! ”
“ WOW! We had the Chicken Siciliana, veal chop Parm and an appetizer sampler. Unbelievable. Service was great and a wonderful atmosphere. ”
“ Loved it. My fiancee and I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner there, opting for the night's specials. My pasta with honey parmesan cream sauce was incredibly delicious, and we shared a slice of pistachio cake that was phenomenal. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was friendly and attentive, making for a truly enjoyable night out. Absolutely worth checking out. ”
“ Third time in Philly, but first time at this gem in south Philly! This place is a step up from just traditional Italian. Every dish we ate had a great flavor profile where the balance between sweet & savory or rich & fresh is perfect. Our server was so patient and attentive, and you will not be disappointed with the white-tablecloth yet cozy ambiance either! Things to know: cash only, only about 20 tables available, and you can BYOB! ”
“ When me and my husband usually go out, that’s where we like to go and their food has never failed. It’s great but last night I ordered a fillet special with crab meat and I like my meat medium closer to well well when I tell you this Steak was at least 2 to 3 inches thick and it was cooked to perfection. They didn’t butterfly it like most places, though I still enjoyed it it was so big. I couldn’t even eat it. I just finished the rest for lunch. The inside was like perfectly a little pink, but basically the whole thing was called just like I like it and that really did surprise me because my butterfly mistake and I hate when they do that but overall, I give them always a complete thumbs up And naturally, I had to have my artichoke for Appetizer Yum Yum ”
“ Great spot, need to get new bread supplier because it’s not good but fantastic meal. Likely the best pork chop I’ve ever eaten. My friend mentioned how he hasn’t had a meal better than that since three sundays ago at his moms house. We had a great time! ”
“ Without a doubt the best Italian restaurant around. It took me twenty years to experience it, but worth the wait. Everything with Scannicchios is 5 star. When the meatball/ gravy ( sauce)passes the taste like moms with flying colors test, you hit the lottery big time. ”
“ Holy Amazing food Batman! Seriously...place was recommended by a friend, reviewed the menu and was very excited!!! Not only did they deliver, they delivered beyond anything I imagined. The food is simply stunning and so flavorful and tasty, it's hard to overstuffed yourself. The service from Mark and his team is absolutely . Very friendly and makes you feel like family. The apps...Eggplant stack and calamari were outstanding! I hate , but even I went back for another bite. The Calamari was so tender and lightly fried, it allowed you to enjoy the pepers and olives in magical blend of flavors. I had the Dbl cut Pork Chop...with figs and basalmic and Gargonzola...hand down the best pork chop I have ever eaten...and I'm a pork chop snob. The laddies loved the rack of lamb as well! We all want to come back and try more items...the Ceasar Salad, Mussels, Bruchetta, all looked amazing! Don't skip this place...make a reservation...and enjoy a fabulous meal! You will not be disappointed! ”
