Filippi's Pizza Grotto Little Italy

We had a wonderful meal at Filippi’s! Our server, Dina was fantastic. We enjoyed a bottle Cabernet Sauvignon, an house salad (amazing house Italian dressing) and a half and half pizza (1/2 Special/1/2 Works). The green peppers were a bit chunky, but flavorful! The crust was thick and cooked to perfection. I prefer a bit less cheese, although my husband thought it was perfect. I highly recommend giving this establishment a try! They have been around since 1950 and we see why! M S

Thoroughly enjoyed a Works pizza with anchovies and some beef ravioli. The pizza base was perfectly fluffy and filling with great toppings, and the ravioli was fresh and excellently done. Great service too. We sat inside in the darker section nearer to kitchen, didn't realise there is a brighter and larger section next door. But it was quiet and perfectly OK.

They should really change the name of the place. They serve very tasty marinara sauce but the pizza was terrible. We ordered Chicken parmigiana which comes with salad and soup, with side of cheese ravioli. It was delicious and enough for two people tbh. Highly recommend cool sweet Lambrusco wine to go with it. On the other hand- Margherita pizza had thick base, overflowing mozzarella cheese and some tomato- basic topping, that’s it. It tasted like only melted mozzarella. Nice atmosphere, good service.

I feel horrible because I can't remember our server's name but she was incredible!! First time at this restaurant and food was yummy! My husband got the lasagna and meatball and he said it's the best he's ever had!! My meal was great as well. Our server was so sweet and patient. If you haven't tried this place, you should!

Large portions of food, older establishment which gives it its characteristics attributes but technology can help. The waiter worked hard but unfortunately he was the only waiter and had been working since 10 am, he did his best. The garlic bread was awesome and the cheese is the authentic pizza cheese !! The meatballs flavor was great and well portioned.

This place is sooo freaking cute!!! The restaurant is inside the deli! You have to walk in and wait in line til they seat you. It such an old school Italian restaurant and I loved it! The food was incredible!!! The pizza was amazing it was like every fresh mozzarella and the ravioli tasted like they just did it. I got the one with a meatball and sausage And holy smokes it was jumbo! Soo good!

I had the pleasure of dining at this charming Italian restaurant, and I must say, it was an exquisite experience. The lasagna with beef meatballs baked with extra cheese was simply divine - a perfect balance of flavors and textures that left me wanting more. The veggie pizza, touted as one of the best, lived up to its reputation, boasting a delightful medley of fresh, savory toppings that danced on my taste buds. Irene, our server, was an absolute gem, guiding us through the menu with warmth and expertise. Her recommendations were spot-on and enhanced our dining adventure. The restaurant, though not fancy, exuded a cozy ambiance that felt like a home away from home. One thing to note is the potential wait time, but trust me, the food is well worth it. Additionally, the adjacent small supermarket is a hidden gem, offering a variety of authentic Italian products, from pasta to pastries, allowing you to take a piece of the experience home with you. Another noteworthy aspect of this Italian restaurant is their generous portions. If you're planning to share, ordering one plate is more than sufficient for two people, especially when paired with a side plate. The portions are substantial, ensuring that every diner leaves satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. This thoughtful approach adds to the overall value and makes the dining experience even more enjoyable for couples or friends looking to share a meal. Overall, our evening at this Italian restaurant was a gastronomic delight, made memorable not only by the exceptional dishes but also by the attentive service and inviting atmosphere. A definite must-visit for any food enthusiast!

Very authentic Italian spot. The interior makes you feel like you are in a small Italian town. All the food was great, however, they did put meat in the vegetarian pasta, and despite telling the server, she did not remove it from the bill, we had to let the entire plate go to waste. Overall, the atmosphere is great, the portions are very big. I would order as you go! They also have an Italian supermarket which was quite cool as it had everything you need from an Italian perspective.
