Fried Calamari
Nicole F.

We had an early dinner on a Friday night, so the place was really empty. We will had a pretty long wait for a server and she seemed kinda annoyed we were there and at any of our questions about the menu. The food took a really long time to come out, which normally I don't mind waiting as long as the food is worth it, but it wasn't. It was decent Italian and we did enjoy the calamari and the mozzarella and eggplant stack, but both pastas were very greasy. The cocktails were your basic options, would probably do wine or a beer if we return. The saving times of this place were the cheesecakes! The chef's mom makes them homemade and they were incredible! The three stars all go to the cheesecake!

Best Dinner I Have Had In A Long Time! The Service Was Wonderful. The Staff Is Super Friendly And Attentive.

Mussels

This restaurant is located on the corner of West Chester Pike and Eagle Road. We've been to their old location but never this one which we've driven by many times. There's a downstairs bar with a few tables and a small upstairs dining room. That's where we sat one warm Friday night by the open window. We started off with cocktails and an eggplant and mozzarella tower which was breaded with Panko and served with rosa sauce. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind, it was still good, and I liked how much sauce there was. I also had the mussels (a special) which were in a delicious broth while my husband enjoyed another special featuring chicken. Overall, it was good, but I'm not sure what would draw us back for a second visit.

Very well-spiced meatball appetizer with a creamy tomato sauce, some spinach, cheese, and crunchy toast

I was shocked to find such high-quality food in such a run-down suburban mess of concrete! We had lovely outdoor seating experience despite being next to the Starbuck's, and the service was efficient and professional. The prices are high for the area but more than match the quality of the food in my opinion. My only small disappointment was with the slightly chewy and cold bread served. We will definitely be coming back!

Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with spicy ketchup.
Steven B.

These folks have reinvented themselves and the lovely wife and I had the honor and pleasure of attending their soft opening on Wednesday. Their GRAND OPENING was Friday. They closed for a few weeks and they are now a beautifully remodeled Italian BYOB! Let's talk atmosphere. They didn't have much to work with, it's basically a square room, but they did a darn good job with what they had. It's a small place with about a dozen two and four tops. Spacing is fine. The wife and I both commented that their chairs are very comfortable. The colors they choose are nice and the lighting was just right for us. The menu has plenty of variety and should please most folks. We choose a simple appetizer of Cheese Steak Egg Rolls for $9. The ribeye steak was juicy and flavorful. The accompanying spicy ketchup was spiked with Sriracha and has a nice kick. For her entrée the wife choose Mediterranean Sea Bass for $21. This beautiful piece of fish was baked in parchment paper along with artichokes, diced tomatoes, red onion, white wine, olive oil and herbs. She had a choice of having the chef remove the paper or doing it herself. That was a nice touch. She proclaimed it delicious and was especially pleased that it was not too heavy. I choose Girasol Raviolis for $18. They were filled with buffalo mozzarella and served was roasted vegetables, and lots of grilled chicken in a rosa sauce. As you can see from my picture it was a large portion. I thought the vegetables were slightly overcooked but it was still a very tasty dish. For desert we were served a trio of house made deliciousness. See my picture and you know we walked out stuffed and smiling. This is one of three locations for these folks. My fellow Yelpers enjoy the other two and it looks like this location is poised to join the party! We'll be back.

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.

All staff in their Italian Market were helpful and accommodating. I was buying and tasting samples…read moreof the several dishes and, though it was busy, they answered all my questions about ingredients and made great suggestions. I bought some beef lasagna (there are several variations) and ate slivers of this over several days. It was quite good but maybe needed a little more tomato sauce in the layers, not just on top. I bought their perfectly roasted vegetables but the only one available had a honey drizzle -- a delicious balance for the slight bitterness of the Brussels sprouts. Tasted great to me but for a party I don't want to give unexpected sugars to dieting guests. I For the party I can get just straight-up roasted veggies. We'll also get poached side of salmon which you can't sample so I bought their "healthful salmon" which was moist and devine! They have many creative salads -- I bought the arugula and shaved fennel with pine nuts. Very straight forward but would have liked far more shaved fennel. The lemon vinaigrette was the perfect pairing (provided in little container along with parmesan cheese). I added more lemon juice to the dressing at home which perked it up more. I tasted the carrot side dish; very good but too sweet with agave and raisins for this event. Will likely have their orzo as the side for the salmon. Our dessert will be their flourish chocolate cake but, sadly, they don't sell that by the slice so no pre-tasting. (It's for a monumental 95th birthday so I want everything perfect. Of course.) Just for me I also hot some of their beat salad marinated with slivered onion. Very good and good for you! (Not for the party because host has light colored carpets and people drop things.) Since it's game day, I'll have to add a tray of 1/4-sliced hoagies; Greek shishkabob appetizers, and maybe their Coney Island pigs in a blanket (in their freezer case). I didn't try those but know they'll be great. Oh, don't forget to ALWAYS get a slice ... or a whole pan... of their superlative tomato pie. I've never had a better one; not even in Italy. The chunky tomato topping is so good at any temperature. I put some of their roasted veggies on top along with a fried egg for a breakfast worth flying out of bed for. Can't wait for the party. I know my 30 guests with divergent health/dietary issues will each find plenty of delicious things to eat. I bought a container of their small chocolate chunk cookies. They were fantastic but, like most fresh cookies, are at their best when fresh. So I shared with neighboring family who loved them. (And now love me.)

The counter was pretty packed, but ordering via tablet was easy, and my sandwich came soon after. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten to pick up my friend's order so it took a bit longer. Checking in on your order every once in a while might be advantageous. They are stocked with every angle of Italian cuisine here-- wine, cheese, bread, meats, sides. I'm not eager to get that much into the Italian deep end, so I did not indulge, but supply is off the charts here! I had the Italian hoagie as a baseline and it was definitely above average. I'd definitely come here to get my fix, but I've had better in South Philly for sure. Things are kept pretty neat around here, and they have some outdoor covered seating available if you'd like to sit in to eat your food.

As you can see from Steven B's review, the Oakmont Farmer's Market has been going for many years…read morenow. Originally cited in a municipal parking lot, a few years ago it moved to the grounds of Grace Chapel, 1/2 block away from it's original location. Yesterday was my first actual visit to the market, despite being in the area since before it's inception. It's one of those "Oh, shoot, I meant to go there and check it out" places. Finally, I did and am happy for it! This is not a large market. There were maybe 10 - 12 vendors there. Five of them were local farmers, including one selling organic heirloom vegetables. It was nice having the variety, so many farmer's markets these days have more soap, cake, flower, and other vendors and few actual food growers. The other five or so stands though were a nice variety. One sold beautiful fresh flower arrangements. One was a local butcher selling chicken, beef and pork. One was a charcuterie with interesting varieties of hand made sausage and salume. There was a gelato stand, a woman who makes unbelievably good cookies and a woman selling Irish Victory Cakes. That was new to me. What the heck are Irish Victory Cakes? Tecup sized bundt cakes full of cake heaven. (They also sell larger sized victory cakes). Yes, I bought them. No, I'm not sharing. Check out MacDougall's Irish Victory Cakes online. All of the stands were local, the farthest coming from South Jersey (vegetables, corn picked that day, mmmmmmmm) and Lancaster (the largest and sweetest non - Visalia sweet onion I have ever had, grilled perfection for dinner last night, folks). It's a nice place, friendly, well laid out, not too big to be overwhelming but big enough to offer a good variety. Parking is pretty easy, half the Chapel lot is reserved for visitor parking and there's also some parking on Darby and on the side streets. The market happens from 3- 7 PM every Wednesday during spring-summer-early fall. I'll definitely be back.

Try to visit the market at least once per week for goodies. I like the vegetables and fruits that…read moreare offered.
