    Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
    James P.

    Different Cheesesteak #982 in the last 4 years. Guest Eater Amigo Dan. They had a good crowd for a Tuesday night so we may be the only people that don't like Coppa 82. We paid the $3.95 to get our cheesesteak on Garlic Bread. I thought that was steep but after my first bite I realized you are getting more than $3.95 worth of garlic! There was a good amount of meat but it was dry. Very little cheese and it was on the bottom. The garlic overpowered everything.

    CASH ONLY! 4.25/5 Try the Seafood Italiano (I get the white), homemade pasta and meatballs or sausages, peppers sausage and egg sandwich, there's some good stuff here. This place is a staple of the area. I'm not a huge fan of the pizza, it's basic in my opinion but some people love it. They used to have a 50% off happy hour which is great. Not sure if they still do that. One of the few places that serves Lambrusco

    Eggplant Parm.
    Donna S.

    2nd time eating at this restaurant. 3 wks ago, it was good. Ordered same thing yesterday, eggplant parm. You'd be hard pressed to find the eggplant in the breading. It was so micro-thin, you couldn't see it. I found some skin & you can see how non-existent it is next to the fork. Fork is also holding the breading open. See any? Huge portion, but I paid 20+ bucks for breadcrumbs with a side of spaghetti. I'd much rather have a smaller portion but with more eggplant.

    This is veal SAltinbuca I ate two cutlets already couldn't wait.

    Good Ol' fashioned Italian cooking at its Finest!! Traveling through Pennsylvania and decided to try this little place out on the recommendation of a friend. So glad that I did! The ambiance is great, relaxed and really feels homely, a real family environment. They have a nice sized bar and a quant little seating area on the other side of the restaurant. The only thing that was a slight take back for me is that it is cash only; however, the locals there seem to know that well and luckily gave me a heads up before I went. They have two ATMs here in case you do happen to forget to swing by the bank first. As for the food. Oh my gosh, it was absolutely wonderful!! You must order the mussels with white wine sauce. Perfectly cooked with a nice touch of garlic to really spice it up. There is also loads of sauce to dip your bread into when you have devoured all the mussels. They have a great mushroom pizza, really thin crust which is just the way I like it. Great depth of flavor in the toppings! Ask for some garlic bread as well, you won't regret it. The aroma of all the food coming out of the kitchen made it difficult to choose what to order, luckily, the manager/owner came to our table and provided us with her personal recommendations which was a great touch. She is wonderful and super friendly too! All in all I am so glad I came here and gave Coppa 82 a try, will definitely return when in Penn. again! So much food, I now have delicious leftovers for the next couple days I will surely enjoy : )

    House Salad.
    Brigit B.

    Yasssss!! Seriously, I've been waiting years for this place to reopen! My first trip back was great! Prices increased a bit, but who cares, it's as delicious as it ever was. I dined in with my parents who were disappointed with their first trip when they first reopened. My Mom had the veal parm sandwich, my Dad, a half order of the red mussels and I ordered a half of the white mussels with a house salad. Although I miss the salad bar (olive overload), I enjoyed my salad with the house dressing. I loved the mussels, Dad did as well. Mom loved her enormous sandwich, great leftovers. Those fries, I almost forgot how yummy they are! Both the red and white mussels are delicious. My one issue...is why are they now served with garlic knots?! I asked for the old rolls and I was charged. The knots didn't taste too fresh, and the juice is meant to be absorbed by those rolls instead! Don't mess with perfection Coppa. All in all, it was a great dinner! Welcome Back 82, I'm glad to see the famous pan survived the fire!

    Italian food is good as well as the service. Bring cash as they do not accept credit cards.

    We live close by and haven't been since it's been La Sponda. Went there today with family for an…read moreearly Mother's Day lunch. What a great experience! Our server was great and attentive, the food was really good! We ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, chicken with crab, veal saltimbocca, pasta with shrimp and crab, pasta with meatballs (the person who ordered didn't care for the meatballs but is very particular), baked salmon, and chicken parm dinner. Only issue I would address is that some of the parties food came out at least 5 minutes before the others (about 1/2 the party) which made it awkward. Otherwise, a great experience and all want to return!

Besides…read morethe Italian cuisine, the fact that it is on the banks of the Brandywine River was the attraction. I like dining close to water. When I arrived, I drove past the restaurant because I did not know where it was located. I turned around at the municipal building and drove around to the main entrance which is behind the building and not on East Lancaster Avenue. We were there for lunch so there was plenty of parking. Given the large number of tables that they have, I can imagine that the parking lot can get crowded when the restaurant is full. The interior is large with lots of tables inside and outside. Outside there are tables on a patio overlooking the river. The building appears to be a converted mill. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Basa Francesce, Seafood Fettucine, and Chocolate Mousse Cake. The Caesar Salad was delicious. The dressing had a hint of anchovy flavor. The Basa Francesce was a light fish washed in butter with a lemon butter sauce. The fettucine was not as flavorful as I expected. The Seafood Fettucine by contrast was extremely tasty. The Chocolate Mousse Cake was rich and delightful. I expect us to be back again.

    It had been nearly two and a half years since we first traversed the narrow gravel lane and parked…read morein the unpaved lot adjacent to the stone ruins of an old dairy barn... From there, it was just few brief steps to a secluded little restaurant retreat known as Orangery, which is also the residence of head chef Sabrina Lutz and her husband, Paul. As though caught in a time warp - tucked away in Glen Isle, a bit of bucolic bliss just off bustling Business Route 30 on the western fringe of Downingtown - it remains very much a world apart, a hidden gem from another age. The 40-seat enclosed sunporch, is both cozy and romantic. On the other hand, in warmer weather, nothing is quite so pleasant as dining alfresco on the restaurant's comfortable patio (pictured). The five-course set menu of hearty Tuscan fare changes fortnightly; so, as I also noted in my first review, the items I mention here may be somewhat different from what you will experience. However, this intro will still give you some idea of what to expect (to discover precisely what Orangery will be serving during a given week, please consult the restaurant's website). Dinner here generally begins with Crostini, which means "little toasts" in Italian, and consists of canapés adorned with a savory topping. During our first visit, Sweet Peppers Crostini was quite delicious; the second time around, the Shrimp Crostini was less so - and infinitely more filling (more on that later). In lieu of a second course salad, the kitchen served up a Mini Vegetable Quiche (pictured), which was quite good, although - falling victim to a not uncommon faux pas - inordinately bland. Once again, however, the pasta course - in this case, Gnocchi with Salmon pictured) - proved the weakest link in the culinary chain. Bathed in an unctuous cream sauce, to say that this dish was exceedingly rich would, indeed, be an understatement. It was simply too much of too much of a good thing... But, more than this, several misgivings voiced as a result of my first visit, I note verbatim: "In the midst of a five-course meal, unless you happen to possess the appetite of a starving yak, the portion size was entirely too large"; and, in addition, "as you may note from the photograph, it was not terribly attractively plated." Even a modest sprinkling of parsley or other herbs would have gone a long way toward significantly improving this dish's bland dropped-onto-the-plate-from ten thousand-feet appearance. The Chicken Pizzaiola (pictured), though, was right back on track. This is a variation of carne alla pizzaiola, or pizza-maker style beef. Legend has it that, because they were so busy, pizza makers in Naples needed a dish they could easily prepare with ingredients they had on hand. And this is one of those dishes that is absolutely sublime in its simplicity. The chicken breast is lightly breaded, gently fried, and then topped with a sauce comprised of tomatoes, olive oil, oregano & basil. The finishing touch, a tiara of fresh mozzarella. And all is as it should be... the chicken is moist & tender and the sauce has just the proper interplay of sweetness and acidity. My only quibble is that, once again, I consider the organic green salad with asparagus and parmesan cheese a rather odd, and not particularly well-chosen, plating companion. My preference definitely would have been for a wild rice pilaf and a nicely arranged green vegetable, sans superfluous greenery. The sweet ending...? A moist and flavorful chocolate cake garnished with strawberries. One or two closing notes... What I mentioned in my first review continues to hold true... Your ultimate opinion of this restaurant will very much depend upon your expectations. If you're looking for a sophisticated Michelin-starred experience, you've definitely come to the wrong address. The cuisine here is hearty homespun Tuscan and, on the whole, quite good. The service is not professional; however, it is young, friendly, well-meaning, and has definitely improved since my previous visit. If you have never dined at the Orangery, it is, in my opinion, certainly worthy of a visit. Given its pastoral setting and homey, unpretentious ambiance, it is a delightfully restful step back in time. Just keep the above-mentioned caveats in mind, and you will not be disappointed. BYOB... And reservations are de rigueur.

    They never return my call when I try to make reservations. Poor service from that standpoint or I…read morewould call it "no" service.
