- EEricVIPPhiladelphia County •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was my first time here and the food did not disappoint. I booked the day before so there were only high-top tables available downstairs. Upstairs they have regular height dining. It was very busy but our server, Tina, gave us a little background on the restaurant and gave us some recommendations after inquiring. The cheese courses/appetizers were very good. The mains were very flavorful, and of course the gelato was amazing. Lots of flavors to temp you. Overall I would definitely recommend you try it out.More infoGran Caffe L'Aquila Philadelphia Italian RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Center City•4.8

- PPennyJacksonville / Northeast Florida •3 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.More infoLa Fontana Della CittaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Rittenhouse Square•4.3
