First of all the service was outstanding. I was back-and-forth between chicken Parm or the fried gnocchi with Burrata. The waiter suggested I do the fried gnocchi with a chicken cutlet. It was outstanding homemade gnocchi fresh great Parmesan cheese, and the sauce was the closest to Tuscany I have had. read more

As a former chef, I appreciate a good meal but I am seldom blown away. Il Giardino is an exception. Truly authentic Italian traditional food mixed in among a large menu of Italo-American staples. Genuine Abruzzi sauces, amazing salads with fresh burratas... It was our first time but definitely not our last. Exquisite, affordable and... BYO! My kinda place. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely an older crowd on a Friday night, but I came here with my husband and two children.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kids menu had all kinds of pasta, chicken tenders, etc. and both my kids found something they liked. We also ordered the fried calamari, the burrata salad, and the four cheese pizza. I haven't been to Il Giardino in years, and I remember the four cheese pizza being better last time, but it was still good this time! This place is BYOB as well, which is great. Our server's name was Quinn and she was wonderful. Definitely recommend for date night or out with family. read more

Never had a bad experience with Il Giardino. Great service, price and generous portions. Definitely one of my favorite places to dine. Great value for your money. read more

Food is absolutely delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean and welcoming establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly waitstaff.

Great Italian BYOB Bistro near Lansdale. Though it's not quite up to the standards of our favorites in Collingswood, a great local option. Garlic bread and desserts are to die for, while the entrees were good, but not great. Both ended up a little too salty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Though it's in a strip mall and looks like a pizzeria from the outside, there's a cozy restaurant behind the take out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was prompt and attentive. We both enjoyed our celebration dinner. We'll be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My mom, my husband, and myself came to Il Giardino for my husband's birthday on a Tuesday afternoonand were very pleased with the service, the food, and the atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The prices for the food were very reasonable for the serving size, including the desserts (which at any other restaurant would have been twice the cost). The server was wonderful, willing to answer our questions, and checked on us a few times. We will definitely be returning here in the near future. read more

Service was decent but not great. The food was good but again, not great. The sauce wasn't sweet on the parm, the noodles didn't have a lot of flavor. The shrimp app was very good. The chicken vegetable soup was bland. The soda was not watered down which I appreciated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is nice and staff were friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a loud party in the middle on the night we were there and it was loud AF.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At one point patrons started to "shush" the party in the middle tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I enjoyed it and would go back but wouldn't be my top choice. read more

Having lived in South Philadelphia for years my standards for Italian restaurants are pretty high. This one would fit right in to the old neighborhood. It's an old-fashioned place with wooden booths and a big long table for groups in the middle and the food is always well-made and the service is always great. This is my go to place when we're having a special dinner with my daughter. When you walk in, you'll see a take out counter for mostly pizza I guess but I've never had their pizza. I just keep on going into the dining room. The pizza must be good because they often see people sharing pizza in the dining room. It was never a problem when I went with my pre-teen daughter, but when I went with another adult, I realized too late that it's a BYOB. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy byob with great food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One time my boyfriend thought he lost his wallet there and the staff moved the booth and tried to help us. Great people. read more

One of our favorite Italian restaurants. Great food, great service and reasonable prices. The chicken parm is my favorite, but I have never been disappointed. read more

Great salads very tasty. Delivery was timely and website was easy to use. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Did not eat the location but the interior looks comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cute atmosphere and friendly staff. Portions were large but tasted good. Provided only 3 stars due to the pasta being undercooked and our waitress lacking to check on us. We did not get a refill of water until we got the check! read more

Consider Il Giardino for catering of your next party or get together. I have used their catering service for food deliveries to friends, and to supplement a party menu. I used them for Easter Dinner items, and my family loved the food which was fresh and delicious. read more

Excellent food! I order their lunch pasta special frequently. It is a good price and I order meatballs (2) with it and I get 2 meals from it! The service is wonderful. They have everything hot & ready when you want it. The servers/owners are very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small Italian restaurant right on Bethlehem Pike.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I usually get take out but sometimes eat in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] **their clear broth chicken soup is delicious with a lot of chicken in it. Pizza is awesome too. read more

This is one of my favorite little hidden gems in Spring House. The food is authentic and delicious! The garlic bread is amazing! It's not the typical bread slathered with some margarine spread, garlic powder and dried herbs. No. This is olive oil with fresh minced garlic and fresh herbs spooned out over pieces of bread. I do wonder if this bread is baked in-house anymore, as it's not as fresh and crisp as it used to be. Tonight my son and I ordered a Caesar salad to split. It was romaine, croutons, and dressing, so it was lacking in the cheese department, but still good. We also ordered a large pizza that was half plain, half veggie. Everything was fresh and flavorful! The crust is thin and crisp at the edge. The staff is always friendly and attentive! I recommend this place. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, friendly service, nice place to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Been coming here for years they're happy to accommodate family gatherings and quick service on take out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food was very good and service was fast. Am glad we had a reservation for a Saturday night.

This restaurant is located in an unassuming strip of stores along Bethlehem Pike in Spring House right across from Rich's deli. When you enter the restaurant the pizza / takeout area is to your left and there is a door that leads into the dining area. We had called ahead and gave them our name but they do not take reservations. They have a call ahead list so if there is a wait they will put you at the front of the line. We were seated quickly at a table in the middle of the dining area to the rear. The decor was really nice and it didn't resemble the run of the mill strip mall pizza restaurant. They have beams below the drop ceiling that mimic an arbor and it really gives the interior a nice Italian vibe. After we sat down our water glasses were filled and soon after our waitress came over. The service during our entire meal was very attentive. My water glass never got below the half way mark before it was refilled. I ordered the stuffed hot pepper appetizer and my wife had the Mussels in a white wine broth I believe. The peppers were bright green and the sausage stuffing was very good. If you don't like really hot stuff this app is not for you. I would give it a solid B+ while the mussels on the other hand C- borderline D. The mussels were very small, chewy and the broth tasted almost only of lemon juice. I wouldn't order these again. Our dinner entrees were grilled Salmon and a Bolognese sauce in over homemade fettuccine noodles. My wife really enjoyed the Salmon and took half home for lunch the next day. I really enjoyed the sauce and the pasta was pretty good. I wouldn't say fantastic as other home made pasta but I would order it again. Since this restaurant has so many great reviews I will be back to try it again. We left feeling we spent a good amount of money for a BYO and didn't get the quality we had heard about. read more

great food! nice staff. reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance could be updated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] love the rolls

Great value! Delicious food!! Highly recommend this restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We do takeaway, but the restaurant looks quite nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Service is prompt and friendly. Food is very tasty and abundant. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean. Lots of options to choose from.

The one consistent thing seems to be steadily rising prices and the steadily falling sizes of portions. We've done takeout here for close to 20 years. One of my wife's favorites "Torchio al Salmone" used to be called "Salmone farfala" and the price just seems to go up and portion sizes get smaller. Price in online menu: $23.99. Price in the ordering system: $26.99. Got the "Old Italian" (pictured) and while the bread was great/fresh there was no mayo or oil and no selection to add them in the online ordering system - minor compliant - but the size of the sandwich and middling amount of meat was sad something called the "Old Italian". Price on the online menu was $10.29. Price in the order system was $12.29. Oops. Thought I was getting a $12 hoagie. read more

Il Giardino - a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes - Italian Near Me - Spring House, Pennsylvania

This is a local Italian staple. They've been around since I was a kid and I've always enjoyed their authentic Italian dishes for many years. Service is usually very quick however there has been the occasional mixup so sometimes missed details are the cost paid for such fast service. The pizzas are solid though I do not care for raw garlic which is one of their toppings. The dough is on the thinner softer (sometimes soggier) side and their sauce tends to be sweet. They have a great selection of salads with lots of fresh roasted veggies and Italian meats and cheeses to chose from. The hoagies, particularly the cheesesteak are STELLAR. Great flavor and quality ingredients. Perfectly cooked and very generous on the fillings. I definitely recommend if you're looking for no frills dang good Italian Philly cuisine. read more

Great home style Italian comfort food! Also really cool atmosphere; wine cellar vibes read more

The plain pie at Il Giardino is pretty good, not the best I've ever had but good for the location. The crust was a bit too chewy. I tried the white pizza at a birthday party my son attended and it was delicious! Extremely flavorful and topped with spinach, broccoli, and garlic goodness. read more

Best Pizza in Montgomery County. We drive to Spring House from Blue Bell and eat their Pizza hot in our car it's that good!. Yes, we have tried Pizza from the Main Line to King of Prussia, Lansdale, Glenside,Etc,Etc. We usually don't get done with our contracting business till late otherwise we would dine in more. My point is that the Pizza is that damn good that I'll gladly sit in my car to have some. Last note, over time we have come to know Mike as he puts up with my requests , ( badgering ) to get a late order in. If anyone' has a special request or need just ask him, he will see to it with a smile. Thanks Mike! read more

I ordered dinner here this evening and my mom ordered their Cali Cobb salad that she has had multiple times. Now this is what she got: a head of lettuce and small grape tomatoes thrown into a container. It's horrible! We used to be regular customers but we are no longer going to be going here. My dinner tasted like a frozen TV dinner. Barely cooked! It was still frozen! I'm disgusted. You lost great customers. read more

Il Giardino - Cali Cobb Salad? I don't think so. - Italian Near Me - Spring House, Pennsylvania

Whenever we come to this area from Las Vegas, this is our go-to for takeout place at my parents house. They order from them least once a week as well and say they are always as consistent as it comes. The food is delivered as if it were cooked on site. The stuffed long hots are to die for, and so are the cheesesteak egg rolls. (Can't find this kind of wonton wrapper anywhere out west) Pasta's are made in house, the salads and pizza are bomb. Finally, try the grandmas cutlet salad! read more

Amazing! Let's start with the salad, the balsamic dressing is homemade and is absolutely delicious. The bread is very fresh and the garlic bread has a ton of garlic, very good! All the pasta is homemade, and is tremendous! Best pasta i have ever had out! My husband ordered the chicken parm, comes in a very cool skillet, chicken was very crispy which gives it a great texture. The gravy was amazing. Side of pasta is homemade! I ordered the tortellini, so fresh and so many flavors in your mouth at once! The sun dried tomatoes provides such a great flavor! For dessert we ordered a cannoli, just like the rest of the meal, it was amazing, did not disappoint! The service was my water was never even half filled, bus boys were constantly at my table. Our waitress, Tayra, was such a sweetheart! She was so committed to making sure our meal was perfect! I told her that I loved the salad dressing and she gave me more to take home, so sweet! Almost forgot, we also for a pizza which was delicious! The crust was awesome and was crispy on the bottom! read more

Il Giardino is my go to for take out. Hungry for a salad? Get one from here and you'll also want to drink their salad dressing...every kind is delicious!! Shower your salad in ranch, Cesar, blue cheese...you cannot go wrong!! Always order the bada boom shrimp as an appetizer, total crowd pleaser and never left over. The chicken cutlet panini is my go to sandwich with a side of fries and I always add on a side of ranch, because as I said, they have the best dressing so I dip my fries in the dressing. When I am craving pasta...look no further...Il Giardino's chicken Alfredo is ON THE LEVEL!! Huge serving and out of this world. I can't say enough great things about this place...we order take out once a week from them because it is that good!!! read more

Gotta love this place my food is always made the way I like. The service and staff are exceptional. The menu is extensive and delicious. You will always have a smile on your face when you're eating here. I get custom made burgers and grilled cheese often. They just make you feel welcome. read more

Best pizza! We did takeout for Margherita pizza. I love how the crust is not too thick. Became one of my favorite place for the pizza. Simple and not too heavy. read more

Frequent customer for take-out and dine-in. Great place. Reasonable prices. Always enjoy it with friends.

We ordered the marguerite pizza. Very fresh and light. If recommend it! The decor inside was quaint, I wouldn't have expected this place to be so cute from the looks on the outside. read more

Yesssss. You need to go eat here. It's in a strip mall so it's initially not very inviting. However the inside is dimly lit with wood decor and plants on the wall- very inviting and cozy. They start you with bread- go for the garlic. It's delicious Italian bread smothered in olive oil, chunks of minced garlic, and parsley. Then die because it's so good. Everything my table got- pasta, pizza, salmon, salad, calamari- was amazing. Veryyyy large portions of pasta. We also got three desserts- the dark side of the moon chocolate cake, tiramisu, and exotic bomba. Whoa. All of it was excellent. I was hesitant about the Bomba- passionfruit and mango sorbet covered in white chocholate? Sounds weird but works perfectly. Maybe one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. My dad said the tiramisu was the best he's ever had. Seriously try this place. 10/5/16: update- went here again with my parents and it was every bit as amazing as last time. I got the special which was gnocchi in cream sauce with prosciutto, spinach, and black truffle. Amazing. My dad got the chicken parm- there was so much food and the chicken was thin and crispy and covered in cheese. My mom got angel hair Bolognese- she lovedddd it. We also ate wayyyyy to much garlic bread and got a tiramisu and exotic Bombay again. The service was attentive and at first the girl was talking to us for wayyyu too long, but that's ok. She was friendly and checked up on us just enough to not be annoying. 6/5 stars for this one. It's really that good. read more

We had not been here in years. Dinner was delicious. Food was plentiful. Chicken dishes, soups, salads--all yummy. The only disappointment was that the magnificent garlic rolls that come with the meal are no more--now it's cuts of Italian bread with the garlic and oil hastily poured on it, with tbe sauce not attaching to much of it. Cannot compare to the rolls they used to provide. A shame. They were by far the best garlic rolls/knots found anywhere. No longer. read more

Walk in, and you see take out for pizza. Walk through the double doors, and you're in a fancy restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. The pictures don't do it justice. Love the free bread with olive oil, crushed garlic, and cilantro. Loved the ravioli, topped with real sausage and stuffed with ricotta cheese. The whole thing was delicious. read more

This was recommended by my better half's friend - our first visit. We had missed lunch and ended up extremely interested in having an early dinner - it was 3pm. It was relatively quiet - a large group in the back enjoying what sounded like a fun family gathering - we were seated comfortably away from them, allowing them to have fun and us to have a quiet booth for conversation. Menus, water all provided swiftly, even though our server was also supporting the family gathering... we realized it was the lunch menu - asked if it was too early for the dinner menu - and without a pause "Absolutely no problem at all!"... I found the service, ambience, and food to all exceed my expectations... and if you read my reviews - you know I'm ruthless to restaurants that serve food that should be hot, not. Our meals were so hot we had to take a break and allow it to cool enough to not burn our lips. Great job, great service, great food - we will be back! read more
