I never leave reviews, but I went here for an early Valentines Day dinner last night and it was too good not to. We got muscles & meatballs to start, lobster ravioli and steak entree, and cannoli and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection. The muscles were huge, the sauce with the meatballs was to die for. The lobster ravioli was amazing, it came with asparagus, crab, and shrimp. The steak was cooked perfect and the flavor combo of meat cheese and sauce was impressive. Dessert was rich and delicious, on par with the rest of the meal. Best dinner I've had in a LONG time! Keep up the good work!

I am recommending Eatalia to all my friends and family because of this amazing family man and restauranteur Frank Crocetto. We all had the most delicious meal. We felt at home the moment we walked in. The food was simply superb . I hadn't seen my cousin in over 30 years (she's lived in Utah) a far cry from the streets of South Philly. I had asked for opinions on where to dine from my South Philly FB group. After many great ideas on a bunch of places, Frank had chimed in(120 comment deep) inviting us to his restaurant tucked away behind a shopping center (with plenty of parking) in Port Richmond at Cumberland and Salmon street. What a great experience. We had made reservations for 7, two ppl dropped out. No problem. We ordered some appetizers that were top notch. Stuffed portobello mushroom, stuffed long hot pepper shooters, 2 meatballs that were definitely bigger than a tennis ball, bruschetta with a very nice presentation and other Italian delights. My cousin and mom ordered gnocchi (moms in marinara, my cousins in vodka cream) her son ordered pasta primavera, his partner got chicken piccata and I ordered a special stuffed sacchetti pasta with pear and fontina cheese, draped with the most tender grilled chicken, prosciutto and peas in an alfredo sauce. Hands down the best pasta dish that I have ever eaten. (Besides my Grandmothers R.I.P.) I will tell u this, I have really become a foodie. For my Philly and surrounding suburb friends if you do not make it here. I would consider it an insult. LOL
Thanks again Frank for making our mini reunion a great success. I look forward to making many more memories at your place; which consequently will now be referred to as "our" place.
PS
the food is worth every penny and it's very reasonable for the larger portions. It's honestly less expensive than Olive Garden. (yes I've had to go to the Dego Darkside a few times)
Just had an amazing dinner here with my best friend who was craving Italian. I’m sad I didn’t know this was so close to home sooner! This is unlike any other dining experience I’ve had in Philly. It’s family owned and you definitely feel like you’re part of the family when you’re here with how the entire staff treats you. Will be coming back for sure!
I came to Ghiotonne about a month ago and it was easily the best dining experience I’ve had in Philadelphia. The food is incredible and the servers are very sweet. Bring a bottle(or 2) of wine and order it all, it’s all incredible. Leave full and happy. Cash only. Thank you!
Has a wonderful meal with my family!
I really enjoyed the mussels in white wine garlic sauce.
Our service was amazing! Our server was there when we needed her ands left us be when we didn’t.
Every experience here over the years has been wonderful! This has become the go-to "special occasion"/"celebrating something" dinner spot for my partner and I (and sometimes we go "just because").
Whether we take-out or eat-in, the staff is always super friendly and attentive, and the food is always delicious (with generous portions), and it's easy to discern that it's all made with quality ingredients and care.
Wonderful food, well presented.
Service is EXCELLENT with lots of personality * looking at you Lydia, whom was our waitress.
Great value and a BYOB.
Tip well, they deserve it.
*note, I am not a regular due to not living in Philadelphia. Was there 3 years ago. Same great experience!
Excellent neighborhood, home-style Italian restaurant. Friendly atmosphere with good variety of listed and nightly special menu options. Large size portions at very reasonable prices. We had the mussels antipasto, salmon and parpacella pasta. All three dishes were delicious and abundant.
BYOB and cash only. Highly recommended. We will be back.
Absolutely delicious food! The staff is very welcoming. I will definitely be returning
Such a lovely restaurant and staff. Their bread and dip are amazing - 100% toddler approved, just look at that face in the photos! The salads, mussels, pasta dishes, pork chop, chicken, salmon and desserts were spot on. I am now a frequent patron, that is how good the food and people are at this establishment.
Went here for my birthday and man was it a good time. Came with a large group (8) and they handled it well! BYOB, they will open all your wines for your and put your beer in the fridge, then get you it when you would like another! What an experience... When it comes to sodas they only have coke so if you want something else you should bring it. I will be back!
Never disappoints. Excellent food in a great family shop that always goes above and beyond
