What a great place to eat at. Their food was so excellent if I could give 6 stars we would. Everything was well made, fresh, good size portions and even homemade pasta! Just so delish, beautiful presentation too. We will definitely come again. Add this restaurant to your next visit to Philly.
A quiet and sweet place. We had the steamed mussels, shrimp & arugula salad and the scaccetti (dumpling pasta stuffed with fontina cheese & prosciutto) topped with a meat sauce. Finished our meal with tiramisu. The shrimp in the salad was perfectly grilled and we loved the marinara sauce that the mussels came in. The pastas are made in house and I believe they have gluten free pasta. All in all, a lovely meal.
A scene taken out of the god father, the sauce does not disrespect you! Authentic and amazing Italian, you can tell the pasta is homemade. The seafood is super fresh and that sauce…… Just put it on everything! The pasta is superb, all the seafood was amazing, the bread is super fresh and soaks the juices up nicely, and the atmosphere and size of the place makes it great for a romantic dinner.
Came here on the StrEats of Philly food tour and so glad that they introduced us to this place. The spinach gnocchi with blush sauce is the best gnocchi I have ever had. I can't put it into words but you MUST order the gnocchi. This place is BYOB so our group enjoyed a few bottles of red wine we brought with us. This place will be a must for me anytime I'm in Philly.
My wife and I had our rehearsal dinner at Cucina Maria. We had about 25 guests and filled the space nicely. It's a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant but the food is delicious. The owner was very flexible with menu options and happily accommodated our requests. She also gave some recommendations of her own for the menu as well. Everyone at our rehearsal dinner went home happy and stuffed.
I had an amazing lunch here with my family. I had mixed homemade ricotta, spinach, and sweet potato gnocchi, which was tasty, and the gorgonzola sauce was incredibly good. My toddler loved the gnocchi too, as well as the cheese ravioli from the kids menu. Everyone loved their food, and the lunch portions were plentiful. Highly recommend!
The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The decor is a bit outdated but it makes up for it in excellent service and delicious food.
The bread was fluffy and was a great pairing with the marinara sauce and parmesan - I recommend you try it.
The food is Fresh and Excellent!! The Chef and Owner, Juana emerged from the kitchen to share the details of the Buffalo Mozzarella appetizer which was the highlight of an appetizer which also includes prosciutto, olives, chunks of provolone among other italian items. Juana was very nice!! Our dinners we great as well!! We'll be back!!
Owner has a beautiful inspiring story behind the restaurant. Everything is homemade ( even the bread ) with love & you can taste it! My new fav Italian restaurant!
I came here for lunch with my fiancé and it was absolutely amazing. We were blown away by the food and service. The lobster ravioli was probably one of the best pasta dishes I have EVER had. We can’t wait to come back and bring our friends and family.
