What am I being charged for?

by CSMobileUser

The waiter that had our table seemed to make up prices for the food we ordered, specifically the appetizer. Apparently because we had a "group" of 2 people we were charged double for the appetizer, then barated by the waiter as to why we were charged. If I was presented with a reasonable argument with evidence as to why I was charged I would have been glad to pay, but the only reason I got was "that's just the way it is". Ended up being a terrible ending to an otherwise great night. Awful service, but worse server, recommended for people who LOVE arguing and getting phantom charges on their bill!

Il Cantuccio

by dalacm

Ate at Il Cantuccio last night with a party of 6 mature adults. The atmosphere was reminiscent of Italian restaurants I have been to, noisy but quaint. The service was very good. The mussels marinara was top notch as everyone was dunking and slurping the sause after the mussels were gone. My meat lasagna was delicious as was the fusilli seafood pasta. Desserts were basic italian and very good and above all the cost was very reasonable. In short would eat there again.

Better than I could have imagined!

by dryupanna

When we began planning our daughter's small intimate wedding, I asked her where they wanted their wedding dinner. Not being familiar with Philadelphia, I was at a loss as to where to even begin. When I asked where she wanted to have the dinner, she didn't hesitate and said "Il Cantuccios in Northern Liberties". She and her fiance had dinner there a few times and loved the atmosphere and the food. They could not have picked a better place.

We arrived and found this small intimate place set up for our 20 guests. It was a little cramped, but it only served to give us more of an atmosphere of a family dinner, like we wanted. Rita greeted us warmly and it felt like we were entering into her home. When my father in law was late, she worried along with me (he is not familiar at all with driving in Philly). When he finally arrived, we began and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was fabulous! The server was extremely efficient and handled all of us with professionalism and we didn't need anything. The food was out of this world and was enjoyed by everyone. The pasta dishes were unbelievable. Everything was wonderful and we had the best time ever. Even the other patrons joined in on our celebration and toasted the couple and cheered them on.It was exactly like our daughter and her new husband wanted. It was an evening we won't soon forget!
