Best Authentic Restaurants in East Passyunk Avenue

Our waitress Luciana was five star in world class, and then, of course, when they ring the bell and this petite little sweet waitress turns into a version of Beverly Sills and Pavarotti. It took our breath away. She blew all the other singers out of the water. We’ve been going to Victor‘s for years. The food has only gotten better than penne. Vodka was out of this world. It’s a destination, dining restaurant you’ll never forget.

Great restaurant. The food is wonderful and the intimacy makes it feel very special.

Excellent restaurant! Always a great meal in the heart of South Philly!

Incredible Dining Experience! I had the pleasure of dining at Bucatini recently, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, modern, and inviting. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each with a unique twist that shows off the creativity of Chefs, Chris Miller and Dejvi Furxhi. It was nothing short of spectacular—perfectly cooked, with bold flavors, and just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was a delight! The service was exceptional, with the staff checking in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. The attention to detail, from the plating to the ambiance was spot-on. To top it off, the dessert was  perfect. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

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.
