Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Villanova

We have eaten at Carina Sorella multiple times since it’s opened and it has not disappointed! 6 of us shared the Spicy pizza, burrata, tuna crudoand meatballs to start. The kitchen also brought us out complimentary arancini which were delicious! The apps were fabulous and generously portioned(we definitely ordered too much!). For dinner we had the osso buco, chicken parm, pork Milanese, cacio de Pepe and the spicy crab pasta. All fantastic!

We had 4 starters: soup( very silky with subtle flavors), roasted cabbage with incredibly flavorful horseradish cream sauces, mushroom and ramp toast -amazing and outstanding squash sliced very finely with delicious slightly sweet sauce. The pawpaw pistachio and Concord grape desert was so delicious!

The food is fantastic and extremely flavorful. The staff is very friendly and attentive but not overbearing. We had an issue with a gift Card and Jennie, The General Manager, was extremely understanding and helpful. She turned a very good experience into outstanding. Jennie is an Asset to Amada. Well done. We will be back many times

Excellent food and service. Great tasting menu selection!

We continually say that we believe Blackfish is the best restaurant outside of center city and can go head to head with most any. The lady had the oysters - the lemon 'foam' on top, oysters in the shell but 'free' so that you can just slide them in right from the shell leaving the foam in tact, were fresh and delightful. She followed that with the wild mushroom ravioli. Toasted home panko breadcrumbs and delightful sauce, all rich with mushroom flavor was also wonderful. I had the scallop more or less ceviche-type appetizer with thin scallop and radish slices in a marvelous orange and citrus sauce, finely diced onion and cucumber and fresh herbs - it was the best appetizer I have had there and I love the smoke salmon and quail egg and the brussels sprout salad (don't laugh until you have one - they too are delicious). I had the duck breast. Butternut squash, some home-made cranberry relish, another puree of something that was rich and tasty along with a brown a-jus gravy. It was really good. I could only eat half of it - quite large, but wonderful flavors. Blackfish continues to be at the top of our favorites list! Not to be missed. G
