    Macaroni's is a gem, their menu has an excellent choice from appetizers to their Main course and delicious cheesecake for dessert! Can't miss when you go there? The staff is always attentive and the Ambiance is relaxing!

    First time at Macaroni's and I thought I walked into an NYC restaurant. The decor and ambiance was top notch and I can see why it's so popular during the dinner hour. The food was excellent and the crème brûlée cake sealed the deal. After dinner, we stepped out into the lounge and continued our night there. It was a good time and I would come back to try the pizza. Service from Vinny was great!

    After having Macaroni's on my list for such a long time, I'm so glad I finally made it there. I was so excited to have found such a gem in the northeast area of Philly! Macaroni's definitely gives a center city high end vibe but in such an accessible location for this area of the city. The ambiance inside is impeccable, it feels very moody and private. But the star of the show was definitely the Lobster Ravioli that I tried - it was probably one of the best ones I've had. The sauce on the plate particularly was so good! The service was a little slow but it wasn't a bother honestly, we can all use a little slower dinner time sometimes. The staff was great and very nice though.

    A small-looking place on the outside opens up to a large and versatile space on the inside. There are seating options from the dining room (more formal), restaurant, indoor bar, outdoor bar, and outdoor tables. We only encountered the nicest, most helpful, and knowledgeable staff while we were here. We came for lunch and sat at the outdoor bar, (which because of the season was more indoor, but has floor to ceiling windows which made us stil feel like we were outside. Sean took care of us and he was amazing. We would love to come back and have him again! He recommended some great food and drink options, which we had to try them all! Our food was amazing, and going at lunch time gave us the highest quality food for lunchtime prices. We had so many amazing things, the only thing we didn't have was dessert but we took their famous Crème Brûlée Cake to go so we will be trying that and reporting back! Do not drive by this place without stopping in! You have to experience the fantastic Italian food coming out of this restaurant!

    I have dreams about this place I love the food so much. This place actually can't eat calamari anywhere else after having it here. Everything is delicious! Drinks on point. The only down side is the location is a little out the way- but so worth the ride. Yum yum yum!!

    Lobster Ravioli

    Found this restaurant online. We went there for my wife's birthday. A wonderful experience all the way around. We sat in the inside dining area. We loved the atmosphere of the whole area there. The dim lights. The small light at the table. The table setting. All added to this experience. Tony was an excellent server. Thank you. We started out with the eggplant stack. What an appetizer. Absolutely delicious!! For dinner, I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and my wife ordered the Chicken Parm. WOW! It just kept getting better. For dessert, we shared the Crème Brûlée cake that was a suggestion from our server. A perfect end to a perfect meal. Our compliments to the Chef for everything. We look forward to another visit in the future. We can't wait to try some other options on the menu. We highly recommend this restaurant. From drinks and appetizers, to dessert, you will not be disappointed.

    The best steak in Philly.

    It's always a pleasure to dine here. Excellent service with a delicious meal . Atmosphere is very nice. Will be returning for sure. Thank you

    Veal parm was excellent just got a simple salad and some roasted hot fingers followed by some spumoni

    If I could rate 100 stars I would. The food here is genuinely the best food I've ever had in my life. It's so hard to find such good food with even better incredible staff. Everyone there makes you feel so welcome. The outdoor dining takes you to an oasis feeling. So clean, so vibrant and the vibes are just incredible. I've already recommended multiple families to come and I'll have to try to not come every weekend because I crave the eggplant stack and vodka sauce. Also for the kids we ordered chicken and French fry's and those were also delicious and you could tell the prepping and care that went into such a small dish like that.

    My sister and I decided to come here for lunch today, and we are both happy that we did. The staff were all very nice, mannerly, attentive and helpful. They all seemed to work very well together, making things run smoothly. We shared a Brussels Sprouts appetizer and it was delicious. I really liked the added apples and pancetta. My steak was cooked just right and my fries were very tasty. I believe they were truffle fries. My sister enjoyed her lobster ravioli, and after having a taste, so did I. We shared a crème brûlée cake with coffee and they went very well together. The cake had the right amount of sweetness and the coffee seemed fresh, too. The atmosphere is a little too dim for me but that is a personal preference. My sister actually likes it that way. The decor is cute with the old time black and white photos. Check them out!

    Pizzeria Beddia is my top recommendation for a pizza dine-in experience in Philadelphia, and my…read morego-to spot for a memorable night out in Fishtown. While I might choose another place for takeout, when the goal is a night of pizza, wine, great atmosphere, and authentic neighborhood vibes, this is usually where we end up. The space is bright, industrial, airy, and thoughtfully designed but unforced. White walls, warm wood, considered lighting, and a floor plan with real breathing room--rare in New York. The vibe recalls Bucktown, Wicker Park, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint: design-forward but genuinely local. There's a great bar, and booths near the kitchen with glass windows that let you watch the staff. Our three-year-old was mesmerized, and the staff was warm and playful, smiling and waving while they cooked. A small detail, but memorable. The crowd feels local. Good music, friendly people, hip but never pretentious. It's just a fun place to be with great service, too. The food is outstanding. We usually order the chicories caesar with grana padano and breadcrumbs, and the lettuce salad with shaved vegetables and creamy oregano dressing. For pizza, we love the arrabbiata (the Angry pie) and tomato pie with sausage and pickled chilies. My wife enjoys the ice cream. A note on bringing kids: I don't think this is a family restaurant, but if your kids are curious and well-behaved, it's absolutely worth bringing them earlier in the evening. We've gone around 4:30 or 5:00 on weekends and always felt comfortable. One time, our daughter had a full meltdown, and we were mortified, but the staff couldn't have been cooler. They packed everything to go, kindly and without any judgment. That kind of grace is hard to fake, and it genuinely stuck with us. Pricing is fair for the quality of the food and the experience. Places like this can seem overrated or overpriced, but this one doesn't. It offers real value for a memorable night out. The whole restaurant feels like a microcosm of Philadelphia's progressive, creative side. There's real ambition behind it, but it still feels human and grounded, nothing sterile, nothing corporate, nothing over-engineered. Just smart people building a cool neighborhood place that others actually want to spend time in. Oh, and make a reservation. Great spot, Joe. We'll be back soon. Thank you!

The hostess took our coats (a nice touch!) and then a rotation of two servers explained the specials and we ordered. I love that the menu is on the shorter side and they rotate the pizza offerings, so even if you're visiting on a regular basis, you'll always be able to try something new. Additionally, when a menu is only about 2 pages, you know everything on those two pages is top notch, as was the case at Pizzeria Beddia. This evening we got the meatballs (didn't take a photo, was too excited, but they were HUGE and excellent) and the beef, pork and veal balls with a rich red sauce was outstanding. Came in an order of 2 but one was plenty for each of us. The Pizza we got had potatoes on it, and we added sausage per the servers recommendation, and it was cooked perfectly and all of the flavors blended so well together. We are so lucky to have an amazing (and nationally recognized!) pizza spot in the neighborhood and it's always nice when you can walk in without a reservation from time to time.

We ordered two of the famous spicy caesar salads (must order!!), a ricotta toast, a White Claw pizza, and a finished off our meal sharing two chocolate budinos. The White Claw is a pretty classic white pizza, mozzarella and swirls of basil pesto; the crust is amazing! It pairs perfectly with the salad. The ricotta toast is decadent and addicting, but a little bit goes a long way. The chocolate budino was outstanding - sweet, with hints of espresso. We won't talk about how I ended up with some of it on my white turtleneck... Service was friendly and QUICK! We ordered, and I swear we had our first dishes in less than 10 minutes. The server was a doll, though I can't recall his name. Downside of Prunella, like anywhere in Center City, is there is no parking. Upside, is you're just a short walk from the 13th St. Septa Station, and you're literally equidistant from Broad and Market streets. Pro-tip: Killer happy hour specials, but only at the bar. Good selection of beverages, if you're into that type of thing. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe don't wear white.

The polite smile that says "it's fine" while the eyes say "it is absolutely not." Totally understandable. No one loves a near-close order. I even acknowledged it out loud--apologized, explained we weren't from the area, and that we were just trying to grab a quick bite because it was one of the few places still open. She said it was okay. Her face said otherwise. Fair enough. Here's where it turned around. The pizza came out hot, fresh, and legitimately impressive. Not "good for late night" good--just plain good. Every bite was fresh, the ingredients tasted clean, and the pizza clearly hadn't been rushed or phoned in despite the timing. Hunger probably helped, but even factoring that out, this was a standout. Honestly, I was kicking myself for not ordering an extra one to go before leaving the city. That's how good it was. We did try to get drinks, but were told the soda machine was down. The nozzles were off, so I'm guessing it was a cleaning/end-of-night thing. I won't ding them for it--though let's be real, tossing nozzles in sanitizer isn't exactly a marathon. Still, not a deal-breaker. Restaurant was clean, but of course, they were near closing. I tipped her a few bucks for staying late, and left genuinely satisfied. Bottom line: the food carried this experience completely. If you're visiting Philadelphia and need a reliable, fresh, late-night bite, &Pizza is absolutely worth the stop. Sometimes the places you expect the least end up delivering the most. I plan to 100000% return (and it'll probably be near closing time again, too)

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options.
