I never leave reviews, but I went here for an early Valentines Day dinner last night and it was too good not to. We got muscles & meatballs to start, lobster ravioli and steak entree, and cannoli and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection. The muscles were huge, the sauce with the meatballs was to die for. The lobster ravioli was amazing, it came with asparagus, crab, and shrimp. The steak was cooked perfect and the flavor combo of meat cheese and sauce was impressive. Dessert was rich and delicious, on par with the rest of the meal. Best dinner I've had in a LONG time! Keep up the good work!
I am recommending Eatalia to all my friends and family because of this amazing family man and restauranteur Frank Crocetto. We all had the most delicious meal. We felt at home the moment we walked in. The food was simply superb . I hadn't seen my cousin in over 30 years (she's lived in Utah) a far cry from the streets of South Philly. I had asked for opinions on where to dine from my South Philly FB group. After many great ideas on a bunch of places, Frank had chimed in(120 comment deep) inviting us to his restaurant tucked away behind a shopping center (with plenty of parking) in Port Richmond at Cumberland and Salmon street. What a great experience. We had made reservations for 7, two ppl dropped out. No problem. We ordered some appetizers that were top notch. Stuffed portobello mushroom, stuffed long hot pepper shooters, 2 meatballs that were definitely bigger than a tennis ball, bruschetta with a very nice presentation and other Italian delights. My cousin and mom ordered gnocchi (moms in marinara, my cousins in vodka cream) her son ordered pasta primavera, his partner got chicken piccata and I ordered a special stuffed sacchetti pasta with pear and fontina cheese, draped with the most tender grilled chicken, prosciutto and peas in an alfredo sauce. Hands down the best pasta dish that I have ever eaten. (Besides my Grandmothers R.I.P.) I will tell u this, I have really become a foodie. For my Philly and surrounding suburb friends if you do not make it here. I would consider it an insult. LOL
Thanks again Frank for making our mini reunion a great success. I look forward to making many more memories at your place; which consequently will now be referred to as "our" place.
PS
the food is worth every penny and it's very reasonable for the larger portions. It's honestly less expensive than Olive Garden. (yes I've had to go to the Dego Darkside a few times)
Great little unassuming place with really nice atmosphere. Service staff was quick and on top of everything from start to finish. Our clams, shrimp, and meatballs appetizers were delicious and the sauces were excellent. My chicken marsala entree was one of the best I've ever had. For the upscale food, service, and atmosphere the prices were better than fair. Excellent value! Highly recommended.
