Best Casual Restaurants in Berwyn

Wine tasting is 1000% worth it, service was quick despite a packed house, hosts were incredibly understanding and helpful when we had to push our reservation back a little, our server was quick and helpful, and the food was delicious!! I’ve never had such incredible fish in my life. The chimichurri sauce with the southwest egg rolls was strangely sweet but I can see why the egg rolls are a classic!

Gaia Italian Restaurant is offering more than just a meal — it’s a journey to Sicily, brought to life by a family who knows the meaning of authentic hospitality. Executive Chef Maurizio, with his roots deeply tied to Sicily, crafts dishes that are as heartfelt as they are flavorful. Our experience there last night was nothing short of amazing! We enjoyed some of their handmade pasta which is always cooked to perfection, and the sauces are rich and flavorful. Try the Cacio e Pepe experience. The seafood dishes were particularly notable, from the Cioppino to the Grilled Octopus, with flavors that remind you of the Mediterranean coastline. Chef Maurizio’s specials are always worth exploring — they highlight his creativity and love for bold, authentic ingredients. Last nights specials didn't disappoint!!! The cocktail menu is equally impressive, featuring unique creations, and the wine selection is impeccable, with many Sicilian and Italian varieties that paired beautifully with our meals. The ambiance at Gaia is intimate yet lively, making it perfect for a family gathering or a night out with friends. The family ownership shines through in every interaction — they truly make you feel like part of their extended family. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience with a touch of Sicilian magic, Gaia Italian Restaurant is where you need to be. It’s a little slice of Italy right here at home. Bravo, Chef Maurizio and team! 🇮🇹❤️

Atmosphere & seating were that of a restaurant in a Greek village in Greece. Loved it! The menu had a nice selection of authentic food, & was delicious. The pork chop was enormous & done to perfection. My friend had the chicken skewers, & they, too, were flavorful. My Old Fashion was one of the best I’ve ever had. To top it off, we ordered the pistachio gelato for dessert…to die for. Prices, I felt, were reasonable. My only complaint, is the noise level. Live music was good, but a bit much for smaller area. I will be back!

PIACERE MIO is a gem in an area where there are so many choices. What makes it so special is the combination of people who really seem to love their job, and a chef who really knows how to cook! Service is very efficient, but also relaxed…courses are never rushed. Portions are the perfect size, with appetizers easy to share. Unique items are the stuffed figs, and the stuffed zucchini blossoms…which they seem to have year round! The beet salad is lovely and also shareable. For entrees, the salmon is always perfect, the short ribs with luscious creamy risotto is off the charts, and all the pasta dishes perfect. Our favorite is the Rustico! The owners and management here seem to care about everything..especially their guests, and food quality. In our opinion, the best food in the area. Reservations recommended!

The food and service is excellent as always. Octavio and the rest of servers go out of there way to make us feel special.
