   An amazing experience, one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to maybe the most. I felt like the reception in the front was a little slow and lack a little sense of urgency, even though they were still fine and great. I had the best server I ever had ever that night and the food was more than amazing with beautiful Ambience and privacy. I would recommend anybody to come here.

   Most enchanting restaurant with many eclectics steamer ship artifacts. Food was amazing and staff was very attentive. Will be back many times with additional friends.

   Food was amazing but the ambience was top tier! Our server got a little overwhelmed with tables but the rest of the staff did a great job to check in. We ordered the whipped feta/ bread and the olives for an appetizers, and although not a fan of green olives- these weren’t bad! We ordered the tortellini and the bolognese for our main entrees and they did not disappoint. Definitely finish with the Crème Brûlée but I’m excited to try their other desserts as well. Everything was amazing.

   This is probably one of the best restaurants in Philly!!! The food was delicious while the service was quick and friendly. My partner has sensory challenges and the ambiance and noise levels were not overstimulating for him. Thank you Bistro Romano for making his birthday dinner so special. We’ll definitely be back!

   Our service could have been much better. When we arrived there was hardly anyone there. Our waitress couldn't wait to take our order, but after that, we would pass the table and never asked how everything was or if we needed anything. The server brought our salad, but it was for two, but we had to ask for a second plate. She didn't ask if we wanted cracked pepper. Dinners came and were put on the table, and she was gone again and didn't ask if we wanted cheese or cracked pepper again. The wine the waitress suggested was horrible and could have been used for salad dressing. It was so vinegary, so we ended up getting a bottle of Cabernet, which was very good.The food was delicious, and we loved the ambiance.

   We brought out of town guests to eat at this wonderful restaurant. From the front desk as you arrive, to the waitress and the food was all on point. Great professional staff, clean and inviting environment. We each had something different from, Branzino, Veal Saltimbocca, Gnocchi and Pork Chops and all were perfect. The restaurant was packed. This restaurant is always a perfect choice.

   One of our dishes came out at cool temperature, but other meals were perfect.

   I picked this place because of great meals in the past for an annual Xmas dinner for 8. Waited for 30 minutes despite having reservation then seated upstairs which had none of the charm of rest of restaurant. Noise level was so high could not enjoy conversation and my pasta dish was very bland

   The menu has something for everyone . We enjoyed sharing a bunch of apps to start. The wine lovers were happy with the selection . The ambience was jovial. The aroma divine. I loved my pesto pasta. Just wish we had enough time for dessert but alas we had a show to go to.

    My wife and I went on a date night. Lovely atmosphere although decor and furnishings are dated. The wine list was amazing! Service was strong and food was great but not fantastic. I had Osso Buco - it was tender and well cooked. Pastas were excellent. I had a dessert special - it wasn't special. All in all, we left happy and content.
