Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Upper North Philadelphia

I went to La Fontana Della Citta for lunch today and what an experience! Our server Ona recommended the calamari for an appetizer and we were so impressed. The sprinkled feta cheese was a nice touch. Our main entrees blew us away too, no complaints. The star of the show was the service! Ona was there to answer any questions we had about the menu and check up on us throughout our meal. There was never a time we needed her where she wasnt there! Exceptional service, we can not say enough good things about her! I will be taking all of my friends and family to this restaurant and asking for Ona every time!

As expected the service was excellent. It was a bit noisier due to it being a holiday-Valentine’s Day the next day. The fish called Orato smelled funny, I returned it and ordered the salmon in its place. This was delicious. The food like the salad was terrific and the soup was great. I would definitely return.

The ambience and the food was delicious. The penne pasta and the mushroom risotto with shrimp was out of this world. The calamari was one of the best calamari that I’ve had in a long while the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. I wished my eggplant Parmesan was a little bit Center, as I saw the chicken Parm was very flat. That’s just how I like it. Our server Clint was exceptional. I would definitely tell people to visit this restaurant and I can’t wait to return myself. The BYOB was perfect.

been here enough times that host knows my name. had a 5 pm reservation, so place was very quiet, just the way we like it. first time for friends who are particular about their italian food, and wines. so, finding their unusual wine and receiving fantastic meals was great. and i got a nice chocolate mousse for my birthday. Mike, the waiter, always great.

Had the most lovely birthday dinner during the Toscono menu. Chef Liz & Co. served a fantastic dinner that had my fiancé and I stuffed to the gills (in the best way possible!!). It was such a wonderful treat to experience Tuscany through Chef Liz’s eyes! The boar ragù with fresh pappardelle was out of this world! Don’t miss out on this culinary gem!
