Jessica PuglieseAugust 7, 2016The pizza is legit amazing. You won't ever want to stop eating. Get one of the pizzas on special if you're looking for an awesome new flavor combination. You can't go wrong.Upvote2Downvote
Dylan DSeptember 1, 2013Polpettini pizza is awesome. Chard by the glass is boring, skip. Beet salad is delicious if heavy on the marinade. Relaxed, fun vibe with helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely come back! .Upvote3Downvote
A7MAD .February 7, 2018We ordered Margherita pizza with beef slices and Roquette pizza; both of them were so delicious. The restaurant's atmosphere was fantastic and cozy.

AndrewOctober 14, 2013Had the apple wood smoked bacon and Brussels sprouts pizza and gnocchi in a butternut squash sage cream sauce - both delicious an perfect proportions. Really friendly and cute servers as well.UpvoteDownvote
Scott PFebruary 18, 2020Delicious pizza and great service. FYI - there are no fountain sodas and you'll be overcharged for a mini can of Coca-Cola.Upvote1Downvote
Hind RJanuary 28, 2016Pizzas are sooo delicious. There's barely any cheese on but it's ok coz the pizza itself tastes good. I liked the pear salad and their chocolate salted caramel muse mmmm.UpvoteDownvote
Zavino plays on tradition with combinations like pepperjack cheese, rock shrimp and chili oil, and pistachio pesto, lemon vinaigrette and baby arugula. Read moreUpvoteDownvote

Raj SarmaJanuary 19, 2016Skip the cocktails, the beer and wine options are a lot better. Food is great, the spaghetti squash can easily serve as a meal in itself.UpvoteDownvote

Amy Johnson CookMay 26, 2014Great seasonal options with lovely wine and nice craft brew selection. Very attentive staff.UpvoteDownvote
Tracey HackApril 6, 2013Get the margarita pizza with burrata instead fresh mozzarella. The flavor is slightly sweeter and more delicate. Plays nicely with the tomato and basil.UpvoteDownvote
Zsolt OlahJune 1, 2012Great pizza, cocktail and wine. They text you when table is ready. But you need to go somewhere else to drink coffee.UpvoteDownvote
The menu changes regularly: the one linked here gives you an idea of pricing and typical fare, but isn't current. Check their website for the most up-to-date info.UpvoteDownvote
Jorge SanchezJuly 8, 2016Great small place to eat pizza and vino. Outstanding service!UpvoteDownvote
Lynn PinaOctober 5, 2012The tasting board is delicious. The Kennett pizza is good but add prosciutto to make it even better.UpvoteDownvote

Ben SJuly 11, 2013Pizza? Amazing. Beer? Summery and fruity. Go to this place for food and/or drinks.UpvoteDownvote
- Best pesto pizza with arugula and mushrooms on topUpvoteDownvote
Dmitry KushnirOctober 1, 2011The woman that assembles the meat sampler played with her phone and licked her fingers in between plating. So yeah, don't order that if you see a lady with a hairnet back there.Upvote1Downvote
Josh CarterOctober 16, 2010Excellent decor but the music doesn't match it. Avoid coming in a group it's a date place. The pizza is great but for a better wine list try VintageUpvote1Downvote
Undeliverable pizza. Especially with whole wheat crust.UpvoteDownvote
Alison TMay 11, 2011Great food and relatively inexpensive. Fairly limited wine selection, but still decent. Great date spot!UpvoteDownvote- Menu items vary seasonally, as is customary in Italy, so look for house-made pasta in the winter and veggies in summer.Upvote1Downvote
Brendan RastetterMay 10, 2012Polpettini Pizza and the Miti Blue Martini. Delicious combination.UpvoteDownvote
DrinkPhilly.comOctober 11, 2010Try their new happy hour - 4:30-6:30pm $3 Draft Beer, $5 featured wine by the glass, $8 Margherita Pizza. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
Patrick ChaceAugust 19, 2010For a wine bar, selection is severely limited...only 6-8 each of red and white total. Their torrontes was good.....but as a whole lacking inspiration....for a wine bar go to vintage across the streetUpvote1Downvote
FoodspottingJanuary 9, 2011Try the Pizza With Brussel Sprouts, Pancetta, Mozzarella, Peppered BechamelUpvote2Downvote
Frank ZupaOctober 15, 2011Nice selection of wines by the glass, go figure its a wine bar.UpvoteDownvote
