Simply the best Italian food locally! First time here and wow, so glad we found this hidden gem. The waitress was amazing, food excellent, and ambiance very nice and low key. Every single item we ordered was amazing! Grilled calamari is my favorite seafood appetizer and no one locally serves this so that was a surprise! The sausage appetizer was probably the best item overall and also the crab pasta. The restaurant is byob and I believe you need a reservation. Very surprised to see any negative reviews. Highly recommend and will be back. read more

Came here for dinner with friends. This is your typical Italian restaurant with the normal dishes on the menu. Food was overall good. Service was definitely on the slower side but being with friends as opposed to my kids made that more manageable. They are BYOB which is nice. For my entree, I had the seafood pasta that came with crab meat, mussels and calamari. It was very good. I was disappointed though that I purposely saved half to eat it for lunch the next day and had it boxed up. When I came home, they had given me someone else's meal. I don't even think it was anyone at our tables. So that was disappointing. Overall, my experience was ok, not in a rush to come back read more

Fellini Cafe - Italian Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

The service and food were both good. The place does get kind of loud, but it didn't bother us. The pace of things were on the slow side, taking over 90 minutes from start to finish for just the two of us; but it was a Saturday night. Prices were comparatively reasonable for Italian food, and it's byob. read more

Nice Fellini cafe. If you think they are related well yes, but no. Each are independently owned even though the menus are similar in many ways. The calamari appetizer was tender but the fry itself was a bit pale. My dining partner was pleased with their seafood pasta which had plenty of crab, calamari and mussels. Veal parm was quite good although the pasta that came with it was a bit over done. Both portions were large enough to feed us for lunch the next day. Compared to the Fellini in Media and the one in Newton Square, the dining room is much more spacious. Service was pleasant and efficient read more

We had a church christmas dinner at Fellini Cafe of about 18 people and I was so pleasantly surprised to have found this gem. We had a reservation and as each guest arrived everyone was treated with so much care from the staff. The owner herself was there to greet us and make sure we had a wonderful time, which was fantastic. The place itself is gorgeous, visiting in December made it all the better as every corner was decorated for the holidays which is something I personally love. Their menu is very large with many different options. We all ordered different things more or less, but as far as I heard around the table everyone was very happy with their meals. I ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara which was delicious, and my husband ordered the Lasagna, which he loved also. We all enjoyed our time so much and I'm so glad this was where we decided to go. Definitely recommend. read more

Spent our Valentine's evening here. I will consider that it was a holiday- because it was SLAMMED! Took an extra 30 minutes past our reservation to be seated. But again I understand- it appeared they were all working hard! The burrata salad special app was incredible. The Caesar salad was awesome. My fiance ordered the four cheese gnocchi and it was heavenly. Seriously the lightest little gnocchis. However, I ordered chicken Marsala with a side of pasta and was handed red sauce spaghetti to go with it. I've never been served chicken Marsala with red sauce and it just didn't taste good together, so I just ate the chicken which was good- but definitely could have used pasta. I was a bit disappointed they ran out of tiramisu since that's my favorite but the special valentines desert was very good. Would try again on a less busy night to get more of a date night ambiance! read more

Always great food and personal, friendly service. My wife and I have eaten there for over 5 years.

Fabulous traditional Italian offerings. From the artichokes to the canolli, everything was delicious.

We had a company holiday dinner the other night. Food was great, service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. I will go back again soon. read more

Great place!! Awesome Italian food You can't go wrong with this place. Huge menu. Great staff read more

One of the more spacious Fellini Cafes. Came here on a Friday during Lent. Tons of seating, good service. Can accommodate large groups.

Do not judge this cafe during the holiday season. My dinner was a disappointment the string beans were cold and overcooked. The eggplant parm was soggy breading and no where like the dish I have ordered before & so pleased with. It could be because it was a busy Friday evening and many large parties. The mussels in red sauce was very good. read more

Food was delicious but ordered takeout and the brushetta came out like $6 dollars over the price listed online. Also told me the food would be ready in 20 and then had to wait around an additional 10-15 mins after I got there at the appointed time. read more

Hosted my mom's milestone birthday for a party of 12. I chose it for the consistently good food and attractive pricing. But -WOW!- the food was amazing and the service was outstanding! Anthony, the owner, worked with me every step of the way, and his staff delivered the "best chicken parm" my picky uncle has ever tasted as well as other delicious meals with a side of attentive, friendly service. read more

The owner is rude and treats customers as if they are lucky to be there, not the other way around. We had an unforeseen circumstance, where 2 in our party had to cancel. I tried to call to inform but no one answered. After we were seated, I was scolded by the owner repeatedly about how he cannot have cancellations such last minute. I apologized, as it was unexpected. Instead of saying that one time, he went on and on, stating how in the future, he will be taking credit cards to make reservations...and how much of a hassle it is. I apologized repeatedly but he did not stop. It spoiled the entire vibe and made it awkward and uncomfortable, as if we were lucky to be there and simply unwanted business. We only stayed to not ruin a child's celebration. I am very disappointed, as we were frequent customers. No one should be treated and embarrassed like that. read more

We dined at your restaurant to celebrate my grand-daughters' confirmation. Due to last minute unforeseen circumstance there were only 4 dining. We tried calling at 3:45 to advise of the change but there was no answer. Upon seated at the table my daughter was reprimanded by the manager in what could only be called a rude fashion about not amending the reservation. If we were not with my granddaughter we would have left upon being scolded. We have never encountered such rudeness from a manager who would not let the situation go...telling us about other issues he is facing. My family as well as my daughter are frequent patrons. I tried to deflect the situation by telling the manager we were frequent customers but the manager went right back to berating us for not notifying him in the change in reservation. I could only hope in the future your customers will come first and you will be grateful to have the patronage instead of treating paying customers with such rudeness! read more

Our neighborhood go-to for the absolute BEST eggplant parmesan and now there's another entree added to my favorites.. short rib pappardelle! Everything is consistently fresh and delicious. Restaurant is always clean and tables are spaced perfectly so you always feel comfortable, never squished. Staff and owners are warm and friendly which is the icing on the cake. Of all the Fellini restaurants, West Chester is a cut above.! read more

Food was . Service was awesome, checked in regularly and made sure we got our food quick. If you are looking for Italian, go here.

Arrived early as our reservation wasn't for 30 min later and was seated immediately. Waitress was very attentive. I ordered Caesar salad which came out in only a few minutes. It was really good , could of had a bit more dressing but was good. Then i ordered eggplant parmigiana and it also arrived quickly. I was Hungary and it did not disappoint! Delicious food!! The owner Anthony visited our table and was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be returning. read more

I used to LOVE this restaurant before COVID and did give them a 5 star a few years back. This trip was a disaster. Service poor, very noisey ( they allowed a wedding party in that didn't care about anyone else enjoying a quiet meal) Food really bad. There were four of us and we all felt the same. I ordered spaghetti and crab #44. Spaghetti very thick and soggy, crab was sprinkled on so thin at first I thought it was cheese. Some clown kept walking up and down in front of the table. He was very annoying. Never again! read more

Brutal experience at Fellini Cafe. We arrived on time for our reservation, and waited almost 10 minutes for a hostess to come over and greet us. Once they greeted us we were seated and promptly received our bread and water. I guess that is when we became invisible again. We were right near the entrance to the kitchen so waiters/waitresses walked past us repeatedly but nobody even looked at us. We just sat there with our bottle of wine (unopened) and bread for 5, 10, 20 minutes. At one point we heard one of the waitresses comment to another that we had been sitting there for awhile, so we thought maybe they would come over at that point, but no. After 25 minutes we decided to head up the street to Fiorello Cafe where we had a lovely dinner. I get places are short-staffed, and we are very understanding of that, but to not even have someone come over and say they'll be right with us is something. And we were not the only ones...another couple followed us out the door after not receiving getting any service either. Such a shame because the food that came by looked delicious. read more

Caesar salad was good. The dressing tastes a little different than the traditional caesar salad dressing but still flavorful. Fresh ingredients, just wish there was more cheese and croutons. read more

Fellini Cafe - Insalata Cesare - Italian Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Father's Day dinner (2019): They forgot to include the shrimp in the shrimp pasta that my dad ordered. The fried calamari is subpar and the marinara sauce was a little salty. Definitely had better before...although the positive was that the marinara sauce was warm. 47. Rigatoni Con Salsicee - was pretty good. The pasta was al dente, the sauce was warm and the portion size was great. Complimentary bruschetta - bread was nicely toasted with fresh tomatoes on top Complimentary bread - nothing that stands out or even mentioning Server asked if we wanted any parmesan cheese, we said yes, but he never came back with the cheese and we were already half way through our meal. Would I come back? Still undecided. read more

First time ordering take out from the West Chester location. My Chicken Cesar salad only had 5 extra thin pieces of chicken. I wish to have a lot more protein (chicken) on the salad. Too much lettuce. Only a few cherry tomatoes and there was crumbled parm cheese on it. I felt that it was mediocre for sure and it wasn't worth what I paid. I was disappointed. We got the penne with Sausage and that was HUGE. Can deff feed two adults. Yummy and very generous with sausage. Equal ratio pasta to sausage. My husband loved it. Normally we go to the Newtown Square location. And I have gotten many meals off their menu and normally always so delicious. Chicken Cesar salad is one of my favorite entrees when I dine out. So moving forward I will not be getting my Cesar salad fix from this establishment. Sorry forgot to take a picture. read more

Karen R. I recently hosted a bridal shower for my daughter and 40 guests at this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. The new owners were wonderful to work with - friendly, organized, punctual, and accommodating. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was great. The room looked beautiful! I highly recommend Fellini's as a venue for a private party or for an evening meal out. read more

Went there for the first time with a few friends. I ordered the chicken alla melanzane, it was awful! The chicken was grey and not freshly cooked, the eggplant ( if you could call it eggplant) on top was mush and totally covered in cheese and drowned in a blush tomato sauce. One of the worst dishes I've ever had. Couldn't eat at all. The chicken was definitely not cooked to order but probably a few days old. . They did take it off the bill. My friend had the chicken parmigiana and she left most of it in the plate , she said it tasted funny! Never again!!!! read more

My husband and I were very disappointed with our last. The service was sub par. We ordered our meal and generally the food was excellent. The Risotto was extremely greasy and too much cheese. I could not eat it. When we were done with our meal the waitress cleared the plates and brought us the check. Did not ask if we would like coffee or desert. Did not ask if the food was okay and why it was not touched. Service and food has been good in the past. Not sure what happened here. As a former waitress I understand how stressful things can get but also expect good service. read more

The food is delicious, wide menu offerings plus daily specials to please a varied table of diners, BYOB, professional service. It is my recommendation to visitors and guests who ask where to go to enjoy a meal and relax. read more

Always, always excellent! From service to food. I recommend Fellini's as my go to restaurant.

My sister and I have been going here for quite a few years. But over the last couple of years the owner has made some downgrades to his business. It used to be that the calamari appetizer came with a side salad. The calamari appetizer was a generous portion. Now...no more side salad, smaller portion of calamari and a $5.00 increase in price for that. As a matter of fact, all menu items have increased in price at least by $5.00. Fellini's used to serve complimentary bruschetta to all guests. They stopped doing that. Most recently, I was disappointed to find that the owner now charges extra to anyone using a card to pay for their meal. The owner, George, should be ashamed. He had a beautiful thing going there. I wouldn't even mind an increase in menu prices. But the increase in prices coupled with the cut backs in portion sizes and removal of the complimentary items, I feel is just too much to tolerate. read more

Totally disappointed with my dinner experience. Positives: Clean, nice interior, on the ball staff with filling water, clearing plates, and the bruscetta. Negatives: The food was terrible. Normally, I don't complain about large portions. The meal was all quantity, and not quality. I ordered linguini with shrimp, garlic tomato sauce with a little bit of marinara. This dish had zero flavor. It was swimming in tomato water and was just a total disappointment. Not worth $20. We also ordered fried calamari which had zero flavor and way too much breading. The vodka penne was all penne and no vodka sauce. read more

Beware of the great reviews as they are deceiving. I came in today and my server was a little pushy about yelping. She said that their boss wants them to yelp a review to boost their stars. Although my service was on point and I really loved my chicken parm, it's pretty sad that the servers have to tell the customers to post a 5 Star review. I gave them 3/5 bc the food here is ok for the price but maybe the ethics are a bit off. I'll try back on a busier night read more

Fellini Cafe - Thanks to the awesome server Jenna - Italian Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Had a terrible experience here a few weeks ago. Yes I waited to post a review as I contacted Fellini's first and wanted to give the owner or manager a chance to rectify the issue but no one made any attempt to contact me OR make the situation right. It was Veteran's day when we went to Fellini's with my brother who is a vet and he specifically chose this establishment. We went with his wife, myself, him, and my three nephews. When we arrived we saw that there was a large party of about 30 people that were on one half of the restaurant. I didn't think this would be an issue with our service or food quality but it was. First the server took our bottles of wine from the table for around 20 minutes until we flagged down another server to retrieve our bottles. I don't know why they were taken off the table in the first place and not opened in front of us right away but we let that go. We ordered the calamari appetizer, 2 seafood medley's, a penne dish, and for the kids grilled chicken with a side of pasta and a chicken cutlet for my nephew. The calamari took over 45 minutes to arrive and was poorly plated, no side salad was on the dish (which the dish always comes with), and tasted greasy and was all tentacles and no rings. Very disappointing. The kids food arrived with the appetizer. My nephew loved his grilled chicken but let me emphasize that it was two very thin pieces of chicken and a small side of pasta. We were charged a whopping $19 which would have been fine if this dish was adult portions but it was not. My other nephew had a few pieces of chicken cutlet on a plate and the cost was also $19 and it wasn't an adult portion. If you don't offer kid meals then the least you could do is give the kids adult portion to justify the cost. Our 3 meals for the adults didn't arrive for an hour after the appetizer. It was ridiculous. We received no apology for the wait in food. If you can not be properly staffed when you have a large party in the restaurant then you should close the restaurant for the party. My sister and I were served the seafood medley which we normally love despite the $35 cost because it's delicious and loaded with seafood. It wasn't this time. The dish had cold crab meat on top, no shrimp or calamari as mentioned in the description and just a few clams and mussels. When the bill arrived, my sister tried to nicely speak with the manager who couldn't care less about our concerns, horrible service, and being overcharged. After being in the restaurant for close to 3 hours, the kids were miserable and we were all ready to leave. I will never return to this restaurant. Had the manager or owner contacted me a few weeks ago, I could have overlooked this experience and been back. I've worked in the restaurant industry for over ten years so I am sympathetic to the struggles of the wait staff, chef, and pleasing customers but anytime I've had a bad experience at a restaurant the owner has always made it right. The manager/owner here didn't even care to respond to my email or give me a call. Do better. I will not be returning, nor will my family and friends who often frequent this restaurant. read more
