it was restaurant week....
eh.. it was restaurant week, so you can never really judge a place from a set menu.. you know theyre cranking those particular meals out all night. decent service , decent meal, though my app tasted like sloppy joe from the sea .. id like to go back and get something on the real menu... cheers!The Good, the Bad & the Creepy of La Famiglia
I dined at La Famiglia with my boyfriend on a Friday night during Restaurant Week Jan2009. Perhaps a Restaurant Week experience alone is not a good indication of the quality of a restaurant, but it seems as though La Famiglia has had many Res Week failures.amazing!
I was recently at La Famiglia and had an amazing dining experience! I found out that they had just hired a new chef (from Naples, Italy) and he created a new menu- everything looked incredible! I love Italian cuisine and always wanted to dine at La Famiglia, but was a little intimidated to try it because of it's reputation as being very fancy. The second I walked in the door all of my fears disappeared - I fit right in and I was only wearing jeans and a nice blouse! The ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful- very classy. The service was excellent! All of the waiters were very nice and catered to all of my requests. Since I am a huge wine fan, I was also very impressed with their large selection of wine!Fabulous!
I recently graduated from graduate school and got my masters. As a gift for this accomplishment, my husband is treating and joining me on a trip to Italy later this summer. I was told that a new chef from Naples, Italy had just started to cook at La Famiglia, so to celebrate my new degree it seemed fitting to take my family there before my trip to Italy. I was nervous at first about getting everyone ready and in the appropriate clothes, but when I got there I realized that La Famiglia is totally casual which to me, is one of the most important things, comfort is everything! Because it was a celebration it seemed appropriate order a bottle of wine. The wine list was amazing! We had a pretty difficult time choosing from such exquisite options. I order the Vitellow con Fontina, I don't know how else to describe this dish other then amazing! The portions were huge, so we were all excited to eat our left-overs again the next day. I'm so glad we decided to try La Famiglia, I don't know if the food in Italy or anywhere for that matter can compare!Always a great meal!
La Famiglia is the best place to go when you want to have a great, relaxing meal with an awesome bottle (or two) of wine. I am all for BYOB's but I am tired of being rushed through dinner in a cramped, packed, smelly and loud place.Great Service, Average Food
The service at La Fagmiglia is the best I've experienced in a long time. Two weeks ago I flew into Philly with my 5 year old son. Not being familiar with any Italian restaurants in the city, I asked a native on the plane for a referral. When we entered La Famiglia, I immediately regretted arriving with even a well-behaved child. This is FORMAL atmosphere. However everyone from the hostess to the waiters catered to our every need and made us both feel comfortable throughout the entire meal. Excellent service.Worldwide > United States > Philadelphia, PA > Italian Restaurants
