Excellent little Italian shop! Hoagie was fantastic and the staff was super friendly. Plenty of great eats in this place.

Good roll

Some one put Di Scala's on my radar quite some time ago and I was finally in the area so I sought them out. Nice large store/deli located just south of Chester. Lots of refrigerated pre made foods to choose from but I was there for a hoagie. I decided on corned beef but only saw it as a sandwich special. The lady helping me said she could put it on a roll instead. I got what would be considered a "half" and my sandwich was very good. The roll was perfection and the igredients were fresh but the meat was cut just a little to thick for my personal preference. The price was definitely right as well. Highly recommended.

Corned beef special - 2 for $10

Had never tried this place before, so I stopped and picked up a chicken cutlet sandwich for my husband last week. It was topped with sharp provolone, broccoli rabe and hot peppers. I didn't get the chance to try it myself or get a picture cause he ate the whole thing. It's not a big place but they have a bunch of stuff to offer... lots of yummy looking Italian stuff. I will be going back for sure.

We came in for chicken cutlets because our regular place doesn't do hot sandwiches on Sundays. I've had this place bookmarked for a while to try and it did not disappoint. My husband got the chicken parm sandwich and I got the cutlet sandwich with mozz and broccoli rabe. Both were really good and inside the deli is really authentic. I was making so many mental notes to come back to do some ingredient shopping. We will be back!

Great deli right off 95. I ordered the chicken cutlet supreme. Was amazing. Also grabbed 2 tomato pies for home. The kids quickly ate them. Worth stopping in for lunch off 95.

The sandwich isn't small, the olive oil is just that BIG!

Wow! This Italian hoagie was so good I was smiling (like a dope) while eating, and for a while afterward. Each and every ingredient was TOP Italian quality. Crazy-sharp provolone, prosciutto like none other, capicola that belongs in a museum, roasted peppers that could have been a dish on their own, and crusty fresh bread straight from an pro's oven! Holey moley this was good! We went in to buy some olive oil because we ran out of the specialty stuff we bought at Carlino's, and we hoped this place would have something comparable. We found a good imported olive oil there, and could not resist trying the food. I have a whole list of good hoagie spots, but you gotta find an Italian place to get a good Italian one. Supposedly Primo's is known for Italians... we (RELUCTANTLY) tried Primo's ONCE. It was crap. If we had known this place existed, and what we could buy with our money instead, we would never have set foot in an icky Primo's. DiScala's is probably the BEST Italian hoagie my husband and I have ever had. (And my husband works near S. Philly, so he is shown the host of top Ital hoagies on offer in this area.) We cannot say enough great things about the extremely high quality of this food. We had to wait in line (for a while) to get this sandwich, but I would do it again in a heartbeat! Phenomenal! Phenomenal! Phenomenal!

Amazing service friendly and delicious food, presentation dessert. Appetizers all around great…read moreservice and my friends loved it

I met a helpful sommelier whose parents emigrated from Italy to Philadelphia. Looking for the…read moreinside scoop, I asked what his favorite Italian restaurant is. Portobello Cafe. So we went! The restaurant has a charming and casual vibe. Both gentlemen tending the floor are from Italy, adding an air of authenticity. You can choose to sit outdoors -- I really like the way the patio is arranged --or in the cozy dining room. Once seated, you're brought a plate of roasted peppers and a basket of hard rolls. I sprinkled olive oil and grated salt on the plate, which proved a good idea with the peppers and rolls. There were a number of appetizer specials, but we went with a basic Caesar salad. One order, pre-apportioned in the kitchen, was perfect for the two of us. I ordered branzino as an entree T, linguini Pescatore. The whole fish is brought out and fileted tableside. While I took a photo, it was just one unflattering shot of the head (which I'm not posting.) The branzino was mild and flakey, good, though the seasoning didn't break through the skin rendering it a little bland. Excellent grilled potatoes and vegetables completed my dinner. My husband's linguini was delish; while the pasta isn't made in house, it tasted like it could be, served al dente, of course. The tomato sauce was spicy enough to bring the dish over the top. Portobello is byob. (Another Yelper mentioned an $8 corkage fee, but unless they forgot to charge us, they disbanded the policy.) After our meal, with takeout box packed -- there was a lot of fish -- we were offered amaretto as a digestif. A nice touch! The restaurant isn't all that convenient to where we live but we enjoyed dinner enough to warrant a repeat visit. Next time I'll try something Italian. Or maybe salmon, which looked pretty good. Reservations suggested, particularly on weekends.

On Saturday, September 26, I booked La Porta as the place where I wanted to hold my small wedding…read morereception. Several months before my wedding, I personally came to the restaurant to make sure I would be able to reserve a table for 12 in the main dining room near the fireplace. I spoke with a dark-haired woman who told me that was totally fine, and she made the reservation for me. I knew that others would be at smaller tables in the room, and I was fine with that. La Porta is a special place where my fiancé and I have spent many lovely dinners together. It was really important to me that our intimate reception be somewhere I already loved, in a space that felt like me. I love the plaster walls, the wood features, the low light, the fireplace--that space is really special to me. La Porta's food is good, but Italian isn't my favorite cuisine. I chose to have my reception at La Porta for this space specifically. I would never want to have my wedding reception on a patio with plastic covering, which is why I came in months ahead of time and made those arrangements so carefully. When we arrived on Saturday, my party was made to sit on the patio. I spoke with our main waiter, a man I had seen at the restaurant before, about what had happened. He was dismissive and said, "Well, it wasn't in the notes. There's nothing I can do about it now." He didn't even say I'm sorry, and he acted annoyed. Angry isn't really the right word for how I felt. I was hurt. This was my wedding, one of the most important days of my life, and I wasn't able to have the reception in the space I had specifically booked and planned for. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. The mistake itself was upsetting, but what hurt even more was how the waiter handled it. On a day when I should have felt celebrated and cared for, I instead felt like my disappointment was an inconvenience. It would have meant so much to hear something as simple as, "I'm really sorry this happened. It shouldn't have. Let me get some appetizers for the table while we get you settled." Some acknowledgment that something important to me had gone wrong would have gone a long way. This is the hospitality industry, but I didn't feel treated with hospitality at all. I would never treat anyone the way I was treated that day, as a bride. After that conversation, it was another 30 minutes before our order was even taken. I had my children and family there waiting, but honestly, that part was a minor inconvenience compared with how the situation made me feel. We were supposed to cut our wedding cake there and continue celebrating, but by the end of the meal, I decided to take the cake home. I was simply too upset and disappointed to stay there any longer. I'm sharing this because the experience genuinely affected what should have been a very special part of my wedding day. I'm not asking for anything in return. I just want to share what happened and how it was handled.

Some of the best food we've had! A hidden gem that seems a bit overlooked? Our family had pizza…read more(the crust was perfect), penna Al la vodka (perfect), lasagna (the best), Gorgonzola gnocchi (balsamic drizzle- genius, and chicken limoncello (delicious). Every single thing tasted so good! Happily took home left overs. The service was great and friendly. It was a bit warm in the restaurant so it would have been nicer if the air was down a notch but it didn't ruin a good meal. We loved it!

After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try…read more Upon entering, the restaurant is small and casual, with plush black booths lining the leftmost wall and tables seating up to 2-4 people sitting by the window. The walls are red with a black wainscoting paneling and framed pictures, sconces, and a small wine rack can be found on the red part of the wall. The ordering counter is also nearby and has a display case with pizza pies in it. We were immediately seated after arriving and ordered the following: Medium holiday veggie pizza, which has mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, ricotta, green peppers, and diced tomatoes. We didn't realize that the pizza didn't have red sauce but we still liked it. Hubs said that he needs to read the menu closer next time when ordering pizza. This wasn't the first time we accidentally got a no sauce pizza. LOL. Daughter and I shared Vongole, which is linguini tossed with 12-15 little neck clams with your choice of white or red sauce. She chose red sauce. We also got a choice of soup and she chose pasta fagioli. She liked the clams and said that the entree was nice and saucy. I prefer white clam sauce, though. So, I will try that next time. Fried calamari- calamari golden fried squid with side of homemade sauce. I liked that the calamari wasn't breaded. This is my favorite type of calamari. We should've ordered linguini on the side and this was Hubs' favorite dish of the night. The place filled up quickly after we arrived. Hubs had been wanting to try Italian food in Delaware. This place is located in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. We were expecting it to be a fancy restaurant when we saw the exterior and were pleasantly surprised that it was a pizzeria. The place felt very homey and we loved it. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu!

It had that welcoming, hometown vibe where everyone seemed comfortable, and you could tell the staff genuinely cared about the food and the people they were serving. I've had Italian subs all over the country and this one is honestly the best I've ever had. Fresh bread, quality meats, crisp toppings, and everything perfectly balanced. Nothing flashy, just an incredible sandwich made the right way. The biggest compliment I can give is that before heading to the airport to fly back to California, I made sure to stop here one more time. I knew I'd regret leaving without one last Italian sub and I even bought a shirt as a souvenir. If you're anywhere nearby, don't overthink it. This is one of those rare places that lives up to the hype. Great food, great people, and the kind of hometown atmosphere that makes you feel like you've been coming here for years!
