    Another great meal at this South Philly gem. The food is always outstanding and the service is top notch. The whole staff is welcoming, and the owners always come out to say hello. The homemade pasta is fresh and perfectly al dente with innovative sauces. Get yourself to Bucatini Caffe!

    Absolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.

    Can't remember a better experience, the five stars we gave across the board here are no joke. My date (first date for us) sat for as long as we wanted. Each staff person was very nice. Our waitress, first initial J, took care of us like my beautiful Italian mom would have. Apps, entrees and dessert were in the top 5% ever, and not overpriced.

    The food here is delicious and the portions are large. I have ordered from here many times and will continue to order from here. On the whole, the staff was super friendly. Of note, they do not have Coke products. There was an issue with our order- something forgotten- and one of the staff yelled at another staff member and that was upsetting. The noise level was low except for the same staff that yelled being very loud on the phone.
