Truly a hidden gem. If you want authentic Italian cuisine, and an atmosphere that feels relaxed and refined, then I highly recommend you try this restaurant. The owners are so kind and we have been lucky enough to celebrate special moments there with them.

Today was a true experience of Rome; Luigi and his wife made our experience amazing! I asked Luigi to surprise me with my dish and he did not disappoint me. You will have a customer for a very long time! Keep up the amazing work Luigi!

Excellent Italian restaurant. This was our first visit. It is beautiful and inviting inside. Service was great and the owner is welcoming and very friendly. We had calamari, and crab-lobster ravioli with shrimps. Both dishes were extremely tasty. Highly recommended.

Great experience. Little hole in the wall Italian BYOB. Best bruschetta potentially ever. The service was excellent. Little slow with the bill, but they had a waiter out sick. The infinity mirrors in the bathroom were an extra fun bonus!

So excited to have a new favorite place for Italian food. The food was wonderful and the owner was kind and welcoming. The artichoke appetizer was amazing and I loved the mushroom ravioli. Can’t wait to visit again!

We found this place by accident but will go back for sure. Wonderful little family restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine. We were a group of six coming from a play performance. The burrata salad with fig reduction was perfection. I had the tortellini soup and the chicken broth was possible the best I’ve ever had. My friend had the calamari, again, perfection. My entree, crab and lobster ravioli with shrimp and a pink sauce was incredible. I finished the sauce with a spoon. The homemade desserts were awesome. Tiramisu was light and very tasty and the bombe was also enjoyed. Service was very friendly and efficient and well timed. The owner even came around to the tables to chat (his wife makes the desserts) . They have another location in West Chester.

The fettuccine was fresh and delicious. We also loved the artichokes. Some of the pastas aren’t home made and those are not nearly as good as the home made stuff. So, make sure you read the menu carefully if you do want fresh pasta.

The food was superb. The owner was welcoming and engaging. The outside may fool you, but it is charming inside. We had been in Italy five months prior to our visit and the food here was just as good. We live in Minnesota and only visit Philadelphia once a year, but we will plan to dine at Core de Roma on every visit. We highly recommend this place. BYOB was a plus. It made a fantastic meal very afforable.

Delicious food in a cozy restaurant. We loved the welcoming atmosphere by the owner Gigi and the dishes were incredibly tasty. Try the scaloppine (last pic)! Honest prices and real Roman cuisine in Philadelphia.

Absolutely incredible place. Roman taste, Philly grit, lovely owners. Core de Roma style Artichokes are sublime. Cacio e pepe and gricia pastas might have been very well be served in a Trastevere restaurant — where Luigi is from. I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this place. Will come back regularly.
