I had an absolutely delightful experience at Bistro Romano! It’s the perfect spot for a romantic date night. The food was truly amazing, from the delectable main courses to the mouthwatering desserts. The only minor hiccup was that our waitress seemed a bit slow in checking in on us for additional orders. Nonetheless, the ambiance, flavors, and overall experience made it a memorable evening. Highly recommend for a special night out!

Great food! The Gnocchi entree and the Squash Blossom appetizer is a must try. Believe me pls Atmosphere wise, not my typical type of spot to dine in- a little too dark for me inside. We sat at the bar. Service was good but not the most friendly.

Bistro Romano is one of our favorite restaurants. It has excellent food and drinks, great staff and service many of whom know you by name, classic atmosphere with a large bar on the first floor and a large room with tables on the ground level. We always enjoy our meal at Bistro Romano. Certain nights of the week guests could enjoy live piano music as well as other regular events. It is a great place for a romantic meal or a large group celebration. Specials are always a great choice but the menu has a large selection of many different outstanding dishes. Dietary restrictions are well accommodated and the restaurant now has a special gluten free menu. Highly recommend.

A winner hands down whether it be for a date night, girls night or this time an Easter dinner. Introducing this spot to my family members for the first time was an absolute pleasure as they had only great things to say about the amazingly tender seafood and steak meals. I hands down recommend the risotto, steak, ravioli and the goat cheese appetizer. And I can’t forget the service which is always on point. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience as is your norm.

This awesome Italian restaurant is broken up into a few mini restaurants. The main floor is a piano bar. We were downstairs in the cellar which was great for our date night. The 200 year old building and architecture adds to the atmosphere. Then add in the superb service. And on top of that, add the outstanding food. The fresh pasta dishes can be ordered in half sizes if you order a entree. This was a great alternative to the chef tasting menu. We were able to taste a few pastas which were both amazing. The veal saltimbocca was great. Light and tasty veal over mashed potatoes. The seafood broth was full of fresh seafood. Ended with cappuccino and carrot cake. Full bar and great wine selection.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience here. I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a few years now and by far, had the best service tonight. Our server, Kishor had wonderful suggestions based on our palette and had perfect timing with questions between courses. We didn’t feel rushed at all which is always appreciated with a later reservation. As always the ceasar salad was phenomenal, followed by the lobster ravioli which was perfect and not over seasoned. If you ever come here I highly suggest saving room for their desserts. Although the desserts are a little pricey it is highly worth it. I will definitely continue to frequent this restaurant and suggest it to anyone looking for amazing service and food….

We love Bistro Romano. It’s a unique Italian joint in Philly. The food and service are very good! We were particularly impressed with the octopus appetizer. The ambience is great with lots of wood, brick, and old foundation stone. There is often live piano music as well.

New favorite Italian spot in Philadelphia…food is to die for, and the atmosphere in the entire place is intimate and romantic. Service is always great, and the owner’s homemade wine is delicious. My only complaint would be that the tables are often sticky to the point where menus stick…but we really do love it here!
