    Burrata Salad

    Cozy byob with great food. One time my boyfriend thought he lost his wallet there and the staff moved the booth and tried to help us. Great people.

    Personal pepperoni pizza

    Cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Portions were large but tasted good. Provided only 3 stars due to the pasta being undercooked and our waitress lacking to check on us. We did not get a refill of water until we got the check!

    Grilled Veggie Pizza
    Diana H.

    This is one of my favorite little hidden gems in Spring House. The food is authentic and delicious! The garlic bread is amazing! It's not the typical bread slathered with some margarine spread, garlic powder and dried herbs. No. This is olive oil with fresh minced garlic and fresh herbs spooned out over pieces of bread. I do wonder if this bread is baked in-house anymore, as it's not as fresh and crisp as it used to be. Tonight my son and I ordered a Caesar salad to split. It was romaine, croutons, and dressing, so it was lacking in the cheese department, but still good. We also ordered a large pizza that was half plain, half veggie. Everything was fresh and flavorful! The crust is thin and crisp at the edge. The staff is always friendly and attentive! I recommend this place.

    Hot Pepper App
    Zach V.

    This restaurant is located in an unassuming strip of stores along Bethlehem Pike in Spring House right across from Rich's deli. When you enter the restaurant the pizza / takeout area is to your left and there is a door that leads into the dining area. We had called ahead and gave them our name but they do not take reservations. They have a call ahead list so if there is a wait they will put you at the front of the line. We were seated quickly at a table in the middle of the dining area to the rear. The decor was really nice and it didn't resemble the run of the mill strip mall pizza restaurant. They have beams below the drop ceiling that mimic an arbor and it really gives the interior a nice Italian vibe. After we sat down our water glasses were filled and soon after our waitress came over. The service during our entire meal was very attentive. My water glass never got below the half way mark before it was refilled. I ordered the stuffed hot pepper appetizer and my wife had the Mussels in a white wine broth I believe. The peppers were bright green and the sausage stuffing was very good. If you don't like really hot stuff this app is not for you. I would give it a solid B+ while the mussels on the other hand C- borderline D. The mussels were very small, chewy and the broth tasted almost only of lemon juice. I wouldn't order these again. Our dinner entrees were grilled Salmon and a Bolognese sauce in over homemade fettuccine noodles. My wife really enjoyed the Salmon and took half home for lunch the next day. I really enjoyed the sauce and the pasta was pretty good. I wouldn't say fantastic as other home made pasta but I would order it again. Since this restaurant has so many great reviews I will be back to try it again. We left feeling we spent a good amount of money for a BYO and didn't get the quality we had heard about.

I saw reviews that staff were unfriendly and I did not even experience a glimpse of that. Everyone was extremely professional, genuine and courteous but not overly involved and fake friendly.( I hate the disingenuous friendly) 2 apps, 2 mains, and dessert was about 115$ so extremely well priced Can't wait to go back and try more!

The staff kindly offered a half order of each so we didn't have to choose, and both were outstanding. The chanterelle dish in particular was completely amazing! For my main course, I ordered the penne alla vodka with scallops and shrimp and asked if they could kick up the heat. They delivered--spiced perfectly to order! On top of that, the scallops were hands-down some of the best and most perfectly cooked I have ever had. My mom ordered the seafood linguine and she said it was packed with seafood and she enjoyed it as well. They even gave us complimentary homemade cookies to take home. Between the hospitality, generous service, and incredible Italian cooking, this place goes above and beyond. Don't forget to bring your favorite bottle of wine, as it's BYOB.

If none of those appeal to you, your only alternative is to choose a pasta with a standard sugo (tomato sauce). There are also a couple of sandwich options, but those are limited as well. There's little to no flexibility--if it's not on the menu, they're not likely to accommodate substitutions or custom requests. That said, the two young men I encountered were both professional and not snarky at all in relaying the limitations. It was what it was. I went with rigatoni in sugo, topped with grated Parmesan. The pasta was excellent--perfectly al dente, and the sauce had great flavor and consistency. Authentic and well-prepared. That said, the downsides are hard to ignore. The portion was relatively small, and with a bottle of Italian soda, the total came to $22.58--closer to $30 with tip. There's also no complimentary bread. Focaccia is available for $5, but it didn't look particularly appealing (a bit dark and overly crisp), though I didn't try it. Pros: * Delicious, authentic Italian pasta * Perfect texture and well-balanced sauce * Clean, attractive trattoria setting Cons: * Very limited menu (pasta and a few sandwiches) * No customization or flexibility * Price feels high for the portion size * No complimentary bread Overall, a tasty experience, but the limited menu and value may not work for everyone.

So I'm sitting there for a few and I'm like maybe they misunderstood and they thought I made a res for 6 people not at 6. So I went to clarify with the hostess. She understood and repeated the same thing. So we sat and waited a few more minutes before she had a change of heart and came out to tell us we could be seated now. We didn't leave for probably 45 minutes and not one more person came in. As soon as we sat down the hostess who was also the waitress came over and asked for our order. We of course we weren't ready. We just sat! She seemed frustrated and I was thinking wow this isn't going to be relaxing. The first thing I see on the menu is the sharing up charge. I hate that type of thing. I always like to do family style and share stuff. I want to try every thing if it's a good place. So we got an appetizer which clearly we were going to share. Luckily we did not get the share charge. The bread you get before your meal is so good. Fresh cut garlic and oil drizzled on it. You also get a side salad that was delicious. When they brought the calamari I tried moving the bread closer to me so the waitress(same as the hostess) could put the plate down. She grabbed the bread bowl from me and moved it to the other end of the table. When our actual meals came she couldn't wait to get our plates off the table. We really felt like we were an inconvenience. I thought maybe it was just a cultural thing. Or maybe she's just overworked since she was the hostess and waiting on 3 tables. Brought us boxes before we were finished our food. So we were like ok fine. We will just pack up. We were going to get desert but we decided let's just blow this popsicle stand and get something somewhere else. The food here is excellent. I would get take out again but I probably wouldn't suggest a dine in experience. Which is a shame.

Another issue was the timing: there was about a 20-minute gap between when the pizza and pasta were served, which made the meal feel disjointed. On a positive note, the atmosphere and holiday decorations were beautiful, and our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, though, it was a disappointing experience this time.
