Amazing Valentines Dinner.... When we first arrived their is parking a block down so that was great. We came 30 minutes early and they still sat us, when we sat we were at a very small table which was uncomforable, so we asked to go to a bigger table and they were able to move us to a much more comfortable table which was alot more romantic. The seafood was amazing,and our canoli for dessert was out of this world. And for coming they gave us a $20.00 gift certificate. GREAT RESTUARANT AND WILL BE BACK SOON!…
Great experience, excellent meal.
I'd never been to this restaurant and was invited to attend a surprise birthday for a friend. A party bus picked us all up in Maryland where we live and took us for the hour drive to Bistro Romano.
I have some photos posted here on my blog but Citysearch does not permit me to post the URL. You can see them perhaps by googling Chronicles of a Country Girl super fun happy (it's what I named the post).
A section had been reserved for our party of 22, downstairs near the intimate wine cellar room. We were given a set menu to order from and I chose the Chicken Putanesca. My only complaint is that the caesar salad, so widely touted, was very much on the wilted side with too much dressing. The flavor was still incredible but it was just a tad disappointing. The Putanesca was divine, as were the roasted vegetables. We enjoyed a layered birthday cake and the coffee was excellent. One of the best cups of coffee I've been served in a restaurant, quite frankly. The atmosphere was unique. Superior service.…
Great Restaurant, Food & Service Outstanding, Best Caesar Ever. I always enjoy taking family and friends to Bistro Romano for dinner. The food and service are always outstanding. I am partial to the Caesar which is prepared at your table. I think its the only place left in the tri-state area that prepares the traditional Caesar, it's the best i've ever had anywhere. That is the beginning to a perfect meal. The filet is an excellent cut than I've had at the local steak houses. My wife enjoys the homemade ravioli, particularly the Lobster. Desserts are equally superb, definitely try the Tira Misu or the Pumpkin Bread Pudding, two of our favorites. Service is very attentive, the server we had last night was Donna. She was extemely pleasant and anticipated our every need. It's clearly one of the best in Philadelphia.…
Great Romantic Atmosphere, Lousy Food, Slow Service, overall overpriced. The atmosphere was great, not so good food and not so speedy staff. You walk downstairs into a stone cellar, very romantic with low lighting. We were impressed. We were served water immediately, but then waited and waited to be asked what we would like to drink. Finally our waiter came over we put in our drink orders along with our apps. Our bread and apps came out about 10 minutes later, drinks came a few minutes later. We order one meal off the menu and the other was a special. Both meals were bland, and parts of both were just so bad we did not eat them. Paying took about another 15 minutes. Great atmosphere but overall disappointed with food and service. Especially for the price. We would not go back again.…
Great Experience!. I've read countless great reviews & figured it would just be another dud restaurant in philly-- but I was wrong! I reserved the wine cellar room-- I was surprised by how cute it was! It's $15.00 to reserve the room but definatley worth it- - it just adds a lil xtra specialness!! my boyfriend was completely impressed.. he said it was his favorite place by far. the caesar salad was very good-- and watching them make it in front of you is fun.. Calamari is the best i've ever had!! (and we get it EVERYwhere we go!) . i got the lobster ravioli (good) and he got the veal parm (great). Two shots of orangecello came complimentry w/ the wine cellar room-- and we each had dessert (canoli and pumpkin bread) and coffees... total bill $113.00. Not bad at all considering how much we ate and how great it was! I can't wait to go back, and try just a regular table.. the entire restaurant is completely addorable. I really can't recommend this place enough! It's as casual or dressy/romantic as you make it! GO go go!…
Rustic. Good food, nice staff, nice location. However, I didn?t really think this place was super romantic for the 30ish crowd, or if anything, should I say for my taste. Over all I would say it?s a nice place to check out at least for some good food.…
Romantic!!!. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and I reserved a table in the wine cellar. We arrived a little early for our 8:00 reservation, and they weren't able to accomodate us immediately, but that was not a problem. The atmosphere in the cellar was very romantic. The room and the table were lit by candles and rose pedals were sprinkled on the table. The room was still a little dark for our liking, so the server brought a few more candles, which we thought was very accomodating. The food was delicious. I ate the tilapia scampi , served with baby shrimp, and my boyfriend ate the pescatore, which he raved about for the rest of the evening. Overall, we had a wonderful romantic experience and will definitely be returning. Next time, we'll sit in the community dining area which was brighter and reader friendly.…
