This place has gone way way downhill. I remember coming here years ago with my dad and thinking it was great. When I was here a few days ago with my boyfriend, I was legitimately embarrassed I suggested that we try this place.While the service was great throughout our meal, the huge problem was the food:Sausage and broccoli rabe was mediocre - homemade sausage? really? and the broccoli rabe was overcooked in my opinion.Tagliatelle al Limone - outright bad. I know they use fresh pasta, but this was way way overcooked. The lemon was so overpowering, and not in a good way. The whole thing was just too one-note. No complexity...nothing. The prosciutto was poor quality and flavorless - it added nothing. The entree portion size was too small as well. If you're going to offer entree sizes - actually give entree-size portions or step your pasta game up.Pumpkin Tortellini - This was their pasta special that evening. We literally got 12 tiny tortellini for $23 as the entree size. It was a total joke. Basically $2 per tiny and overcooked tortellini? The pumpkin filling was fine, but could have used more flavor. The brown butter sage sauce was nice, but we were just so off-put by how ridiculous the portion size was.We were so bummed out that we decided not to waste any more money on dessert. Save your money and don't come to this place until they get their act together. This was such a disappointment, especially because this restaurant used to be SO MUCH BETTER.

I have enjoyed Philadelphias La Violla for many decades. When I visited Collingswood's Il Fiore and it had the same menu and much of the same staff I understood. It is great, reasonable and the waiters have great accents. I like the grilled calamari w a great vinegarette and the Salmon. It is a reliable choice with friends, family to dine or to celebrate a special occasion - like Thursday.

I've only been there for lunch and have never been disappointed. The service is good and the lunches tasty & filling. I usually get the roasted vegetable sandwich with broccoli rabe and take half of it home.

Located just over a block from South Street, on 2nd Street, Stella offers good tasting pizza, full bar and lots of seating inside or a few tables outside. Service was very friendly, prices however were a tad high for some plates- pizzas were $10 and up, which was ok for personal size pizza, even two people could share the pizza if not too hungry, or combined with an appetizer; however the pasta plate we ordered, they come in small or large, was a ripoff: the small was $14 and it was a very small serving of pasta. Parking is on street, metered, check the signs.
6. L'Angolo Ristorante Italiano

Six of us (two families with one 10 year old each) just finished an incredible meal! Three of us had the best chicken parmigiana we've ever had. The gnocchi was enjoyed, and the kids loved their spaghetti pomodoro. The atmosphere was casual but the staff very efficient and professional. It's a BYOB so we brought our vodka and red wine, and there was nothing that could've been better! We topped the meal off by sharing a couple of desserts, which also did not disappoint. I couldn't recommend L'Angolo more! As people from out of town, we're sorry we can't find Italian food anything like this at home and can't wait to be back!

This place has been on my âlistâ to visit. We took some family from out of town. What a great experience ! The service was great . Enjoyed all food. Portions are ample enough that you donât really need an appetizer.My only disappointment was that the upstairs isnât open during the week. Looks like a great place to go hang & drink a French martini ( on the menu- a must try).

My wife and I were here on a Friday night and had a very good dinner.Included salad was good and my veal parmigiana with pasta/garlic oil was excellent. My wife's veal Marsala would have also been excellent if it wasn't swimming in sauce.swimming in sauce. The veal in both dishes was very good--pounded thin and it was quite tender--a big plus. The bread was quite ordinary despite the excellent olive oil so that was a disappointment. Good bread is the sign of a very good restaurant so help needed there. Service was very good throughout the meal. Very nice to have a choice of different pastas and sauces with the entree. Prices were reasonable.
