    This was my first time at Philly's Best and it was pretty good. My fries were a little bland, but my Cheesesteak was decent. I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer Cheese Whiz considering that's usually what comes on an actual Philly Cheesesteak but my sandwich was still good. Nowhere near Tony Luke's, Jim's, Max's or John's Roast Pork in Philadelphia good, but passable if I'm having a craving. I would go back

    Ordered a Philly cheesesteak for lunch. Tasted pretty good. The Freire on the other hand not so good. Felt soggy like it had been sitting idle for a bit. The 8" sub was a pretty good size though.

    Philly cheese steak wrap and fries

    I LOVE this place!!! We order pizza for our staff meetings every month. This is my go to delivery place!!! I love everything I have ever gotten and they bring it quick! Everything is always tasty, hot and at a great price!! Thanks!!!

    NEVER order the shrimp salad!!!!! The worst...didn't know shrimp came that small....and when I expressed disappointment the staff member was arguing me down saying it doesn't SAY Jumbo shrimp. These were guppies....they have LOST our business forever!!!!! Totally gone downhill...

    Over cooked bone ribs
    Sabrina M.

    How can you serve a paying customer dry over cooked ribs? The cook must have been blind folded during the cooking process. Giving someone jerky ribs is unacceptable. Ribs should be meaty and chewable but these were the complete opposite. Returning the ribs didn't do much because they said I'd get a refund but that didn't happen. Never buying from here again and I will make sure my co workers and neighbors don't order here anymore. I'm letting everyone that is within arms reach know about what I experienced. Too many places in Columbia to eat. Eat anywhere else but here.

    Large Cheesesteak
    Candice D.

    After living in Philadelphia for five years it was a bit heartbreaking to move to the Maryland suburbs where there's not 5 cheesesteak places within a 5 minute walk of my apartment. I haven't tried their pizza but so far their cheesesteaks (just cheese and steak, please) are the closest I've come to an actual Philadelphia cheesesteak. The steak is packed with meat and if you get the full size one you're in for a meal. Prices seem standard for the area which is more expensive than Philly but hey it's cheaper than driving all the way to Philly and back. It does seem to take a while between the time I order and the time I leave with my order but I guess they're not whipping out steaks every five minutes, so more prep time is needed than what I'm used to. Other things from the menu I've tried have been the fried cheese (it was fried cheese, not much I can say about it), fried mushrooms (I'd go back for more), and the Philly sticks (reminded me of Little Caesar's Crazy Bread though I wasn't a fan of the accompanying marinara sauce), mostly standard sides worth going for if you have the room.

Eataliano is located in Columbia near the Phelps Luck Pool. The lot outside the restaurant offers very limited parking, but there is street parking available. Upon entering, we were met with shelves of authentic Italian grocery items. A pleasant lady took our order. She was patient and assisted with selections and answered questions as well. We ordered the crab roll, cheesteak on a seeded roll, and an order of onion rings. The ambiance was of a small, local market with a comfortable, neighborhood feel. There was seating inside, but it was full. Our wait time was 30-40 minutes. As it started to get crowded, we decided to wait outside until our order was ready. While outside, we met Sam, the owner, who was very pleasant, asking where we were from and was it our first time coming. He stated that folks were coming from all around the areas to visit and thanked us for our business and threw in a NY style pizza for us to try! Our wait was a little longer than 40 minutes. We got our order and headed home. NY style pizza: Thin, well baked crust topped with thinly sliced pepperoni and Italian sausage on a layer of tomato sauce topped with dollops of fresh mozzarella and basil. The ingredients were fresh and the pizza had a sweet taste. This was good. Cheesesteak: On a seeded roll with tomatoes, and shaved meat with chopped onions and Cooper sharp cheese. This was really good. The meat was flavorful with the onions and the melty cheese providing the perfect balance. The roll was crusty on the outside and held up to the generous portion of meat on it. This was really good. Crab Roll: What we really came for. Creamy crabmeat filling with cheese and peppers wrapped in a crusty dough topped with Parmesan cheese. The cheese pull was exceptional and the taste: chef's kiss! The crab filling was sweet, delicate, and flavorful with the perfectly cooked dough holding it together. This was really good. Onion rings: onions slices fried a little hard for me. just okay. All in all, except for the onion rings, everything was great. We would definitely be adding Eataliano to our rotation of pizza parlors and of course, for the crabmeat roll as well!

The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

I also added the two piece of falafel. They were yummy. 2 pieces for $1. You'll want to make sure to ask for extra sauce as they don't put very much on the platter. The cashier made sure to ask if I wanted extra. I went with the green and red. Both were really good and took the platter to the next level! The red has a nice kick to it.
