"We each started with a slice, which arrived quickly and hot—just how it should be. After our first bites, we exchanged approving nods. Unlike many other pizza places in Philadelphia and its suburbs that tend to overdo the cheese, leading to it sliding off with a single bite, that isn’t the case at Bruno's! Another highlight is the pizza sauce—it’s robust, sweet, and hints at herbs and spices, just as good pizza sauce should be. Overall, the pizza strikes the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and a crust that’s both crispy and chewy—truly pizza perfection. Next, we tried their cheesesteak with American cheese and onions. They use fresh rolls that are soft yet remarkably hold all the meat and cheese together, making for a fantastic cheesesteak. What sets Bruno's cheesesteak apart is that they season their meat, offering a flavor profile that’s much richer than the typical, dry meat and cheese you find at many other places. The combination of the seasoned meat, onions, and cheese in that soft roll makes this one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had in Philadelphia. I’ve been to all the popular spots: Steve's Prince of Steaks, Geno's, Pat's, Jim's on South St., and Dalessandro's Steaks, and I can confidently say you need to try a cheesesteak from Bruno's to understand what I mean. To finish our meal, we ordered chicken wings. They are breaded and fried in the style that many of us Philadelphians grew up enjoying from local seafood places and pizzerias. The wings were cooked perfectly, and that first bite into the crispy breading had me hooked. I read some reviews claiming the chicken was undercooked, but I would have to disagree. It’s possible for properly cooked chicken to look red or even bleed at the thigh bone due to pigments from the bone marrow seeping through the thin bones of these young birds, causing a slight tint. I recommend enjoying a slice while waiting for your pizza to be ready. If you’re in the area, this is the place to visit! Pro tip: reheat your pizza on the stove to regain that fresh-from-the-oven taste and texture. Avoid microwaving your leftovers—don’t be an amateur!"

"Trevi is one of our fave places to eat both for casual snacks (aps and pizza) as well as some outstanding dinner entrees This time we brought another couple with us for their 1st time. While the food was totally awesome as always (the friends literally licked their plates clean) I believe the server was new. And while she absolutely tried... it somewhat fell short. Had to remind her couple of time to bring glasses for water in the beginning and the clearing of empty dishes from the table was lagging (and with 4 people pretty much hitting every course that started adding up fast and we were running out of room) Nothing horrible would not deter us from coming back by no means but just hoping that the young lady learns reasonably fast Else great evening as expected"

"Nous avons eu un bon repas pendant la période des fêtes. Nous étions les SEULES personnes dans tout le restaurant. Les portions sont grandes. La brochette d'agneau était super tandis que le poulet et le porc étaient bons. Nous avons adoré un fromage feta dans une pâte phylo avec du miel. Cependant, le grand miss était la pieuvre. C'était une portion énorme mais grossièrement trop cuite et moelleuse. La serveuse était très cordiale. Cependant, à la fin du repas, il était surprenant que, puisque nous étions les seules personnes dans tout le restaurant, je devais littéralement aller à la réception pour demander le chèque car elle était MIA. Dans l'ensemble, nous soupçonnons que le chef principal ne travaillait pas cette nuit-là, ce qui explique les problèmes, mais c'était une bonne et meilleure option par rapport à d'autres restaurants grecs locaux comme Arpeggio."

"Help run an outdoor/adventure club. We hike every Wednesday and always go out afterwards for food/drinks. Went out of my way this week to find a spot in Chestnut Hill for us to gather, since we normally don 't go there and since a lot of places close at 9pm. Showed up, and lone bartender was clueless about our reservation. Had first spoke to someone weeks ago on the phone (we weren 't looking for any special treatment just order off the menu and possibly to sit together if they could accommodate us). Bartender managed to get person on the phone I contacted and even had a phone conversation with and they were surprised we showed up because I didn 't call them a second damn time despite me emailing them two days ago that I 'd be bringing 10 15 people. Sign out front also says new summer hours to 10pm and they were closing when we walked in at 8:50pm. Like okay not exactly dropping 15k but why do so many places today not want to make money? Knew it was a problem when person insisted on a phone call after first contact. Like I 'm not asking for a wedding or funeral lunch in. Just wanted space and a reservation if possible. It 's the 21st century Karen!"

"jansen is our way to any time we want an extraordinary culinary experience. from the moment when they are greeted the time they are going out of the door, they get white glove service without feeling full. eating itself is top notch and beautifully presented. I would recommend jansen very much!"
