Best Italian Restaurants in Port Richmond

If you’re looking for the ultimate Italian-Mediterranean dining experience in Philly, Capri is the place to be. The restaurant’s heartfelt motto, “6 cousins, 1 table,” comes to life as the cousins—who also happen to be the bosses—work together seamlessly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels like dining with family. The food is extraordinary. The bone marrow linguine is a standout dish—rich, flavorful, and absolutely to die for. And don’t sleep on the cocktails they’re expertly crafted and the perfect complement to the meal. The ambience at Capri is pure magic. Thoughtfully designed with stunning photo spots throughout, it truly feels like you’ve been transported to the picturesque island of Capri. Every detail adds to the charm, making it an unforgettable experience. Capri delivers on all fronts: impeccable food, a welcoming vibe, very attentive staff and a setting that’s both chic and inviting. It’s an absolute gem, and I can’t wait to return!

Was a delightful classic Italian meal. We had pasta and seafood dishes and everything was outstanding. The mussels in white wine sauce were particularly delicious. The service was exceptional. I’ve been here a few times in the 70s/80s and it was fun to take our children there! ❤️

Amazing food as always! Service was perfect. Outside seating was cozy. Best pasta outside of Italy bar none!

We’ve been patronizing the restaurant since before COVID, both the restaurant and the grocery. Consistently, the food, service, and overall dining experience are excellent. On this particular occasion, there were three of celebrating a birthday. From start to finish, the service could not have been better — efficient, friendly, and helpful. All three of us had the special Branzino dish, and each had a different salad or appetizer. The dishes all exceeded our high expectations. We could not stay for dessert, but purchased a pint of the Desire gelato for consumption at home. Needless to say, the gelato was over-the-top.

We went on Christmas Eve for drinks at the bar with friends and then a 5 course prix fixe dinner for 2. Both experiences were fabulous. Quality bartender and the table service team was top notch: professionally urgent, menu advice, flexible to small adjustments, on top of clearing and packaging to go, no time holes in waiting for food or drinks, EXCELLENT FOOD. I am embarrassed I lived in Philly for 21 years before coming here. I have been missing out. Will definitely be back.
