Reviews for Dante & Luigi's in Philadelphia, PA
Outstanding old school Italian dinner. All of the food was terrific but the gnocchi and the meatballs were the big winners, as... was the caprese salad. But everything was great. Highly recommended if you like Italian food. And there?s valet parking. Read more
Let me just say wow. From the service to the food, the hostess was so friendly as were the other employees welcoming us, I... forgot our waiters name but he was amazing. He described everything so well and was also super funny cracking jokes with us. Thefood itself was honestly to die for, I haven?t had Italian food this good ever. My expectations were definitely met and we can?twait to come back next time we?re visiting Philly. We started off with a bottle of moscato, and complementary bread. I had theJersey Salad - which is Italian tomato?s, Italian onions, mozzarella, basil with balsamic and olive oil and it wasfantastic. For my entree I had the Gnocchi Romano and when I tell you I?ve been dreaming about it ever since, I really have.It?s hard to explain but it was rich and savory and perfection all in one. To take home we had a cannoli and it was the cherryon top of a fantastic Italian meal. The setting was very romantic and I?d recommend Dante and Luigi?s to anyone looking for thebest Italian meal they will ever find in the United States. Read more
The service was good but kind of slow, but it seems it is never to be part of the relaxed experience. The food was delicious. I... had the split pea soup, which was amazing, the rigatoni alla vodka was delicious and the Italian cream cake was too die for. Read more
Excellent food. Chicken Parmigiana best I've had in my life. Dollar sign a bit deceiving, the food is all reasonably priced,... especially when you consider portion size. Very high quality meals. "Super Italian" wine super tasty with a perfect dryness. Iloved my meal. Special thanks to Frank for creating a lovely night. Read more
To me this is the best Italian restaurant in Philly. I?ve never had Italian food this hood. Hands down best calamari I?ve ever... had. The eggplant and risotto were the best I?ve ever ate. I highly highly recommend this restaurant. Read more
What a treat! Dante and Luigi plays the part of looking like a fancy, white tablecloth restaurant, but truly they are a low key,... neighborhood, they-have-their-regulars Italian joint. They move quickly, but never rush you. And boy, do they know what they dowell. For dinner we had - Calamari- well executed (could have used more dipping sauce though. There can never beenough!) Perciatelli alla Vodka with Shrimp - I swapped from penne to a longer noodle. Tons of sauce, large shrimp, it wasexactly what it should be. Lasagna - they are known for the best lasagna and we can see why. Tons of flavor, lots of cheese, andeven more sauce. Rigatoni Carbonara - classic, saucey. A bit of a thicker sauce than I?m accustomed to but still very good, andTONS of bacon. Dessert was the cannoli and the lemon sorbet. Traditional. Simple. It was a perfect meal. Also shout out for D&Ldoing a 10% discount for those that pay in cash. Highly recommend. We can?t wait to come back! Read more
Dante and Luigi's is a Philly staple- Italian cooking that tastes like it came right from my grandmother's kitchen. I am always... hesitant to give less than a 5-star rating to businesses, especially in the world we are living in, but I was disappointed inthe experience I had with the hostess who was abrupt and asked for vaccine cards from my party of 5 who were properly masked. Wewillingly followed the restaurant policy as posted on their website and the signage that was hanging in the facility. Sheproceeded to do this to every party that walked in. The food, the ambiance, service by Victor and help-staff, and theattentiveness from the General Manager made up for the poor welcome I received at the front end. I will be back! Read more
5 star experience all around. From the moment we arrived and were seated until the last sip of coffee, everything was... impeccable. Food delicious, service amazing and beautiful setting. Go..you won't be sorry. Read more
