dissapointing. Unfortunately, the beautiful waiters and waitresses were so understaffed it was painful to watch them work so hard and entertain the customers at the same time.
great food/amazing singers.
the only con for me - is that if this restaurant was a byob it would be the best. but thats just me.
the waitstaff is very attentive, knowledgeable, come back often to check on you.
AND of course, the reason most people come here - because the watiers and waitresses are all trained opera singers! they are amazing and it is so much fun!
the portions are large and the food is very tasty. during the week, there is never a wait and it is not too noisy or crowded.
the prices are a little high - but not when you consider what you are getting!
def. a place to take the relatives when they come to visit.
and this is the restaurant Rocky owns in the lastest Rocky movie!!…
Incredible dining experience! Great date place!!.
Was in town from Texas, visiting a few friends in Philly and we had the pleasure to dine at The Victor Cafe. Absolutely incredible dining experience and a very unique atmosphere. The servers take
turns belting out beautiful opera songs every 15 minutes. The food was GREAT as well. We eat out alot, and have all over the world, and our Victor Cafe experience is certainly up at the top of our dining experiences!!
Would make for a great date place as well...…
wonderful entertainment, charming restaurant, delicious appetizers.. We have been to this charming South Philadelphia restaurant a few times and its always entertaining; the food is delicious and the service is very friendly. Wonderful date or family place with valet parking.…
One of the last, great, family-owned Italian restaurants around.... Where do I begin? My dining experience at Victor Cafe was nothing short of spectacular. I took a date there a while ago on the recommendation of a friend. This is a place where "Grammy," who incidentally is pushing 90 years old, spends the entire day in the kitchen concocting new specials with the freshest ingredients available. When your server decides to break into song (which he or she will), the music may enchant you as much as gazing on the black and white photos of all the opera stars and celebrities who have patronized the restaurant over the past 80 years. If you are lucky enough, the current patroness, the latest in the family line, will come over to your table and charm you with her beauty, grace, and wit. Especially good for birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations, the staff will welcome your party as if you were a guest in one of their own homes. My pasta was perfectly cooked - not too soggy as is so common these days, and the chocolate cake melted in my mouth. When the check finally comes, you are assured not to want to leave - I stayed long enough that I was afraid to overstay my welcome - but true to family hospitality, I was never made to feel that way. Though I live in New York City, I look forward to the opportunity to return again - and for the right occasion, I would make a special trip just for the dining experience. BEWARE: there are other places nearby that claim to have waiters who sing opera, but don't be fooled: Victor Cafe is the original.…
