The cocktails are incredible, made with homemade or high-quality mixers. Even their punch of the day is amazing! And the espresso martinis? The bomb! The food is just as impressive.

The pork bao buns were fantastic, the fries topped with shredded pork and onions were absolutely delicious, and the chicken wings are meaty with a wonderful smoky flavor. I honestly don't think I've had a single thing here that wasn't tasty. And then there's the atmosphere! Such a cool, cozy vibe with retro American bar decor and an eclectic mix of music--sometimes alternative, sometimes jazz, sometimes reggae. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy yourself. Great cocktails, delicious food, good company, and an awesome atmosphere. It's become my favorite place on the Main Line to chill and unwind. I'll definitely be back again and again. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out!

When you first walk in the restaurant/bar area is dark; I selected patio seating and was glad that I did because it was much brighter on the patio - also, it is heated but I was still a little chilly but not uncomfortable. For a starter, we had the crab dip - this was good; it was cheesy and had good hints of crab meat; our entrees were Sautéed Salmon and Lamb Birria Ramen - the presentation of both dishes was good but the flavor was underwhelming for me (and my nephew) and even though I asked for my salmon to be cooked well, it was slightly undercooked... We did enjoy our drinks - he had a Millionaire Capri Sun and I had You Only Live Twice. If I return, it will only be for appetizers and drinks. The service was really good and the overall atmosphere was good also.

She brought samples as full 5oz pours. Never once asked my wife for her opinion on what sample was sufficient....not once. That is absolutely unheard of....even the worst breweries I've been to still follow up with their customers. The food was greasy. Also, when you're at a brewery, the first thing you should nail down as a server is what are people drinking in the terms of BEER. She was ready to start with the food before the beer. The whole experience was confusing. Secondly, a Pilsner came out that wasn't even ours. And the woman who brought that one out looks like she was out in space land. The bill came out and she charged for the 5 ounce pours. I caught her BS and she said I'm sorry. I'll take it off and then apologized that she had been off for a week of work and then followed up with me before we left and said she was "out of it." What waitress admits that they're out of it? Maybe she was smoking the sticky icky before she got to work. Either she needs retrained or find another job. I would buy Tired Hands at a restaurant, but we're never going back to their location.

So we got the whipped feta dip to start. Very good. Then I got a super crunch salad with chicken that was super delicious. Only thing is I can still taste that the food was pretty salty. So now we get to the bad part. The reason I can only give it 3 stars. There was no one there. The place was practically empty and still it took forever to get our food. Even after brushing my teeth and a few hours later. 6:40ish we sit down. We had no where to be. So we didn't mind waiting to have our order taken. That took idk let's say 10 minutes to be charitable. Then another 10 and we got bread. Still no drinks. Probably another 10 before we got our drinks. Then we got another bread. Fast forward 10-15 we get our starter. Finished that. A while later we got the food. Rewind somewhere back during the ordering process we were supposed to get a desert menu. The new menu doesn't have deserts and we got that deal that includes it. So finally we are like can we get that desert menu? We get it and just ask for it to go right away. I can't sit here anymore. It's a a 20 minute drive and we got home at 8:31. Again we didn't have anywhere to be but it is a school night ya know. But yeah I'd go here again. I'd just make it a Saturday.

Tons of bacon bits and not a lot of salad greens, almost like a deconstructed salad which is weird for pub food.

My parents come here periodically, and I'd been trying to join them on one of my visits back home,…read morebut on a couple occasions we couldn't get reservations, and then the third time, we got one but it turned out they were going to be closed that week for a post New Year's vacation. Fast forward to this latest visit home. I finally secured a reservation...but then late yesterday afternoon my mom's knee started acting up to the point where she could barely stand on it. Fortunately, ice, Advil and rest overnight--and my mom really, really wanting to come here--kept us on track, and tonight I finally made it. It's a cozy spot, and I can see it making an excellent date night, especially since the BYOB setup allows you to bring the wine of your choice (and save some $$). We were seated promptly--this Sunday was relatively mellow--and the servers were super accommodating about removing a chair so that my mom's walker could occupy the unused space on our four-top. The menu is what I call right-sized. It may seem smallish, but there is a strategic assortment of salads and apps, pastas and mains (and, of course, desserts) that is sure to accommodate everyone. Dean, the young man who would go on to do an outstanding job taking care of us for the night (with the other two servers chipping in seamlessly as needed), went through the specials. My mom was particularly intrigued by a squid-ink fettucine with lobster and shrimp (and cherry tomatoes) in a saffron cream sauce. Could we split it as an app, we asked? Would it be too much food? On Dean's advice, we went ahead, while my dad got the mussels. All three of us ordered the pork chop, which my parents have been raving about for a couple years now. How could I not try it? Ordering finished, bread and olive oil (with a bit of balsamic) arrived at the table. Knowing I had a pasta coming and that the pork chop was a good-sized portion, I didn't want to overdo it, which I think was ultimately a good choice. The bread took the edge off, and then the pasta arrived. It was just the right amount for two people to share as an app, and we both enjoyed it, while my dad loved his mussels (and then dunked lots of his bread in it). Then came the main event. The pork chop lived up to (and frankly, exceeded) the hype. It was tender and perfectly cooked and oh-so-flavorful. Definitely one of the best I've ever eaten, and this isn't my first pork-chop rodeo. It was accompanied by asparagus and yummy baby Yukon Gold potatoes; I left a view of the latter, not because they weren't yummy but rather because the pork chop was huge and I was not skipping dessert. For dessert, I went with the house-made cannoli, which was a lovely, sweet (but not oversweet) ending to an excellent meal. I'd be happy to come back to Burrata anytime.

We received a bread basket and olive oil to start. The bread was plain and nondescript, not at all herby like I was expecting. Our pear and Gorgonzola salad would have been bland but the Gorgonzola in the poached pear was the star of the show. The salad itself was also small for the price. I ordered the scampi with wild shrimp and crab cake and asked for the spice level to be turned up. Thankfully it was and was delicious and full of flavor. The house-made pasta which was part of the dish was a treat as well. My husband said his Chicken Milanese was just okay and not really exciting. He only ate one piece of the chicken. He did get an extra side of pasta, though, which he enjoyed. I had to order the affogato which did not disappoint. Our server poured the espresso over the vanilla ice cream at our table. Yum! Be advised that they sometimes have limoncello but when I asked, they said they had run out. Also, they're byob which is a great money saver.

They actually bring it out for a little show while it being prepared (see picture). I haven't one bad thing to say about this restaurant. A good time was had by all! Oh!

It was a pleasure dealing with everyone here. The interior is decorated beautifully. The restaurant provides complimentary hummus with sliced bread or pita bread. We chose the pita bread. The hummus was delightful. Super creamy and flavorful. I ordered the Dionysius cocktail which was quite refreshing and light. I was in the mood for a carbonated drink and this was perfect. The Estia Chips are a MUST, especially if you're a zucchini and eggplant fan. These little half moons were fried to perfection and come with a side of tzatziki. I was sad when we finished them. Their tuna is cooked rare (it's reflected on the menu as such) but oh so yummy. I was expecting a steak, but instead, squared pieces of tuna wrapped around sautéed spinach were served to me. Highly suggest this! One thing about me is I always leave room for dessert, and I was with my fiancé who loves cheesecake so we asked for that. The pistachio crust was excellent. I had never tasted anything like this before. It was my first time having Greek food, but it definitely won't be my last!

We asked to split one order, which came to the table divided. I noticed, after my husband paid, that we were charged $13. An undisclosed $3.50 for anchovies that should have been included in the first place?! I think not. -- Chicken Rollatini -- This was T's favorite dish in our former neighborhood restaurant. As a point of comparison, Fellini's was okay, but it was over-sauced with a thin gravy. Plus, at $26.95 an overload of spaghetti didn't make up for one small roll of chicken. -- Chicken Francese -- Fellini's has a different spin than the lemon butter I'm used to. The menu claims asparagus and mozzarella. While I was eating, I thought 'this is good, but not as described.' And this is what happens when waiters don't write down orders. They gave me saltimboca. Fellini's is byob with no corkage fee. A sign outside offers a free glass of wine. Perhaps, because we didn't request the freebie, our host brought us amoretto on the house. A nice gesture.

Plenty of parking in the lot, too. Our waiter took great care of us from start to finish. Super attentive and friendly staff from what I heard and saw at other tables.

After being shown to our table and waiting for a server, we were eventually greeted with, "Did anyone take your order?" Not a great start but at least someone came over. We ordered a beet salad to share along with a spicy carbonara, a crab penne pasta, and a rigatoni bolognese. The salad, which we ordered without the candied almonds, was delicious with its limoncello vinaigrette and goat cheese. My daughter liked the spicy carbonara and said it wasn't overly spicy. I loved the crab penne pasta. It was creamy and full of crab, and the pesto/basil made it a unique dish. The rigatoni was good but could have been more substantial. During dinner, we asked for cheese which never made it to our table. Also, the background music was too loud and out of sync for a relaxing dining experience. Fortunately, our server brought over two complimentary desserts to make up for the lack of cheese which was kind of her. The cheese cake was exceptional, and we saved the cannolis for another day. Overall, a positive dining experience with some interesting Italian dishes in a sophisticated environment.

We received a facelift! Visitors to the old Carmines will be shocked at our new look!

We call it the Proper Pepperoni for a reason....

We stopped in for a quick dinner before a concert in Lansdowne on July 18, 2026, and it turned out…read moreto be a great choice. We started with a Negroni Tradizionale and Michter's rye. For dinner, we shared the chopped salad and Pizza Mesoraca. Both were enjoyable. The pizza was flavorful and the crust had a nice chew. It hit just the right notes before heading to the concert. We finished with an affogato, which was a delicious way to end the meal. Ben was our server and did a great job taking care of us. Overall, a very pleasant dinner and a convenient stop before the show.

Second time here and I love this place! We got the balcony seat with a very pretty view and this…read morerestaurant felt like I was transported to Italy. Ordered the Antipasto and Spicy Crab Vodka. The crab pasta never disappoints!! The Antipasto was a spread of assorted cheese, meat, and vegetables- if you like spreads you should get this. For drinks we got the Mango Picante (subtle mango taste and it wasn't overly sweet) and We Want the Funk- my favorite (had a nice banana flavor to it and it was smooth). Our server was so attentive and helpful- 10/10 for the service. They had live music there as well and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed being here! I highly recommend this place!
