What a Find!!

by computerexp

Wandered into So. Philly looking for something different and boy did I find it! My girlfriend and I ate at Criniti's Restaurant on So. Broad Street for the first time and it was wonderful. I can't believe I've driven by it a million times going to a game and never stopped. We were seated right away and before we could finish looking at the menu, we were given fresh bread and some sort of marinated mushrooms that were the best I've ever had. We ordered brick oven pizza as an appetizer and I wasn't allowed to eat more that 2 slices. My girlfriend actually threatened me!! Then came our dinners (Flounder for me and Veal for her). We didn't have room for dessert, but we took home 2 cannoli's and had them the next morning. Everything was top notch. We go out to eat a lot and we came away from Criniti's 110% satisfied. It doesn't get any better than this.

• Pros: Brick oven pizza, mushrooms
• Cons: Not closer to my home!

Nightmare on Broad Street

by iamspartacustoo

Chicken Perugina was so dry as to be inedible. Chicken Marsala (chunks of chicken) was strictly average. Calamari probably frozen with canned diced tomatoes(unspiced) as the dipping sauce. My advice, if you decide to give the place a try, is to stick with the pasta dishes, and good luck.

Best in Philly

by ilovephilly

Had dinner at Criniti's for the millionth time...great as always. The old place was nice, but the new place is COOL! The people that work there really know what they're doing. My family and I have been going for over 12 years and it's one of the only places that's always consistent. I just brought some out of town clients to Criniti's and I got them hooked too. Thanks for the great everything!

• Pros: Price, food, great service..the bread is the best
• Cons: not much
