We also enjoyed dessert, which was a perfect way to end the meal. A special touch was when Carmela herself stopped by and handed us a to-go bag with complimentary bread. That kind of hospitality really made us feel welcome and added to the warm, family-oriented atmosphere of the restaurant. The only slightly unusual thing was that the meals for our table were brought out separately rather than all at once, and they serve Pepsi products instead of Coca-Cola. Neither was a major issue, just something to be aware of. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food, friendly service, and a genuine family ambiance.

This is not a pizza joint but Italian Done Right and the dining room is cozy but you won't care. Fair warning they are always busy but so worth the wait. Don Cheech (cheesesteak) plenty of meat, juicy, cheesy and the bread is oh so good, French fries are solid with or without the truffles. They make homemade Arancini and it's delicious as is their burrata caprese. Then there is the meatball salad with ricotta or their Ceasar salad are crisp and filling with house made dressings. Every pizza I have seen looks amazing but I haven't gotten to them yet. I had the gnocchi mi nini amazingly creamy and light and their eggplant parmesan the eggplants was perfectly crisp and cooked perfectly. No mushy eggplant here. If you have any room left (we had dessert first one day) the tiramisu is delicious and so worth every calorie. The servers are very nice and have not had any issues plus the owners are waiting tables too with them. Don't be surprised to hear Italian spoken here it just adds to the experience.

We waited close to an hour for our entrees while the restaurant continued to fill up. With a hungry toddler, the long delay made it difficult to enjoy the visit. After waiting so long, we ultimately asked to have our food packed to go because staying any longer wasn't practical for our family. We also noticed that several nearby tables appeared to receive their entrees before we did, despite arriving after us, which left us feeling overlooked. As Asian and Puerto Rican customers, this made us wonder whether we were being treated differently. We can't know for certain what caused the delay, but the experience left us feeling unwelcome and overshadowed what should have been an enjoyable meal. (Edit: the food that we took home was delicious and beautifully presented but couldn't overshadow the service and unwelcoming presence)

There is plenty of street parking and it is easily accessible. The staff there is courteous and professional. They are so nice. They have ravioli and other forms of cheese filled pasta and some regular cut pasta as well. They have gravy or sauce whatever you say. I say gravy. The also have a selection of Italian delicacies and sausage and meatballs. I have been coming here since Ivwas a little kid and not much has changed. This is one of the few original businesses left in Tacony. They have been there a very long time so you know they are doing something right. I usually go there on Sundays, yeah they are open on Sunday. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, friends and family alike.

I never heard of this place until I saw an ad in the Northeast Times for their 50th? anniversary…read more The thing that grabbed my attention was the two coupons. My wife went there on a Sunday afternoon and was traumatized. She encountered the nastiest, most rude sales person she ever had to deal with. Maybe the elderly woman was the only person they could get to work on Sunday but she sure wasn't helping to bring in customers. My wife came home with four boxes of cheese ravioli and vowed never to set foot in there again. The ravioli were awesome! I'm used to the cheap frozen kind we get at Shoprite. I'l never go back to those again. P & S has made a loyal customer out of me. My wife will never go back because of the miserable saleslady so it's up to me to go there. So far I haven't run into her, the ladies I've dealt with have been very pleasant and the ravioli are the best.

Today we visited P&S Ravioli and Georgettis in New Jersey near Philly. We bought several different varieties from both, as well as some sauce. All varieties were tough. The dough was tough. Fillings were fine, cheese and lobster, but not noteworthy. It was nice to have some local raviolis, but these fell well short of any hopes or expectations. Pass. The quest for good raviolis will continue!

I had an elder neighbor who would like to go there and would ask me to take her to the "Dead Pidgeon" I don't remember much about the food or restaurant from those visits only my laughs and good times with sweet Ms. Rose. Flash forward to 2022 and we were bored with our usual breakfast spots. I had to go to the shop rite, so why not check out the Dead.... um Red Robin. Walking in was like walking into the past. Full bar seating red and sparkling stainless from wall to wall. This place was clean. Two women immediately greeted us and asked where we preferred to sit. The place was pretty empty as it was a weekday morning. Our drinks were brought right out, and our orders placed. It wasn't long before our overflowing plates were brought out. Matching cups, saucers, creamer bowl and plates all patterned the same. Our tablescape looked like a 70's commercial but felt so warm and homey. The food was filling. The refills came quickly. We wanted for nothing. Our service was superior. When feeling the need for some simple filling food, Red Robin won't disappoint. We will be adding it to our breakfast rotation.

We finally decided it was time to pay a visit to this charming restaurant. We're glad we did. I was a little disappointed when they told me there were no meatballs on the menu - we skipped the appetizer. We went right to the main courses and decided to share the Ravioli al Formaggio and the Pappardelle Primavera. The raviolis were stuffed with ricotta cheese and smothered in a rich, creamy pink vodka sauce. It was a wonderful dish. Complimenting the raviolis, we ordered another pasta dish, Pappardelle Primavera. The pappardelle, cooked perfectly, was accompanied by shrimp, mushrooms, peppers, onions and zucchini in a fresh tomato sauce. It also was a delicious dish - the shrimp were good sized and succulent and the light sauce was a good variation to the vodka sauce on the ravioli. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and said we'll be back soon.
