- VVincentNew Jersey •5 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWent with my son after the SB Parade which was Valentine's Day. I should have realized it was a pre-fix menu which I am not a fan. However, the black linguini with scallops and shrimp was tasty and my son enjoyed the striped bass. I would definitely try it again when there is no pre-fix menu.More infoLa Viola - WestPrice: Moderate• Italian• Rittenhouse Square•4.5
- SSarahPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe came into the city for the Eagles parade and came to your restaurant on Friday night. The food was amazing as usual. But the best part of the night was RJ, our server. He was so nice to our kids, my son loved that they both had red hair, he was super attentive and checked in with us often. It made for a wonderful dinner.More infoMaggiano's - PhiladelphiaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Center City•4.7
