My husband and I had dinner at Andiario a week or so ago when we spent a day in West Chester. The restaurant offers pre set dinners (four courses for $85), with a menu that changes every week, inspired by the season and the bounty of Pennsylvania produce. The restaurant is beautiful and still very comfortable. And the service was outstanding. They brought me a little stool for my purse, which is such a nice touch. And they were so helpful and friendly as they stopped by our table to explain each course on the night's menu. I also really enjoyed my wine, and my husband his cocktail. While the experience was lovely, I was underwhelmed by the meal unfortunately. They brought us a little starter (off menu) - a fritter with duck confit, which had good flavor but an odd texture. The first course was turnips and squid, which was okay (I didn't get the squid on the dish - it didn't have much flavor or do much for the dish). The second course was Pizzoccheri - a pasta dish made of hearty, dark buckwheat pasta with boiled potatoes, Savoy cabbage, melted cheese, and butter. It was delicious and rich and great for winter (it snowed later that night - the first of the season). I was glad they served a single portion for two people - because it is rich. But I'd eat it again for sure, my favorite dish of the night by far. The third course was a strip loin with salsify and leek cream. This dish was pretty good, too. I loved the salsify - I'd never had it before. And the jus was delicious. I didn't love the cook on the strip loin - it was medium rare on one end and over medium on the other. The dessert was a profiterole with candied quince and cherry. It was too sweet for me, and I didn't taste much of the quince or cherry. The dish I'd want to eat again is the Pizzoccheri, for sure. It was a lovely meal - the restaurant has a great ambiance and the service was wonderful. I didn't love the food on this first visit, but their menu is creative and it's very possible that on another night it would blow me away. I do love a set menu/tasting menu at this price point and with only four courses - a great value, and a great portion of food (not too much like some tasting menus). It's beautiful spot in West Chester; I'd be happy to try it again if I'm in West Chester for dinner again. read more

A quaint restaurant on Gay Street serving Pennsylvania-sourced foods on a prix fixe menu. Arrived on time but got seated about 25 mins after our resy which was a little bit of a bummer cause there was no bar or lounge area to wait in. We did, however, get a pretty great seat in the window with a view of some nice decor, lights, and general street life. The only downside about this table was that it felt like we were dining in Antarctica. The windows and floor trim were old so it was very drafty. The restaurant is aware of this, as they provided us copious amounts of blankets, which we did take them up on. Then we were snug as bugs in rugs. Well, as snug as bugs in Antarctica could be. For drinks, we got the Arneis, Chenin Blanc, and a Quince Spritz. The Arneis was so light and pleasant, a crowd-pleaser for sure. The Quince spritz was a very nice cocktail with a bright honey taste. Now, for the food. The favorite of the night was the duck confit. The duck was delicious and very rich, but pairing it with the apple and sauerkraut really helped to temper that so it didn't feel so heavy. My partner and I have differing opinions on our least favorite (beet tartar & buckwheat cake). Overall, a very solid meal, with some real stars, but we're not itching to go back. Perhaps we'll give it another shot in the Summer when Pennsylvania produce really shines and they have more options for sourcing (and so we don't have to dine under multiple blankets). read more

Every time we think we've had the best meal at Andiario, we go again and it's better than the last! This past weekend may have been the best yet. Every course was spectacular. The lobster and vegetable salad was an amazing start. The pastas are always fantastic and the cappelletti with morels may have been the best yet. The short ribs were fall apart tender and the sour cherry strudel was a great ending. And as always the wine pairing was perfect. We can't wait to see how they top this in a few weeks. read more

The entire experience from the owner, Maria, to our servers, table, and food courses was excellent. Highly recommended

Right when you step in to the restaurant you know you're in for something special. The wood fire smoke in the air, the open kitchen, and a beautifully decorated restaurant I think this is one of the best tasting menu deals out there in terms of price and value. You can always expect at least on pasta dish among the other courses that you're getting They generally don't have a set menu, and I really enjoy that feature of the restaurant. One member of my party has an aversion and Andiario always compensates no problem This restaurant is really something special and definitely worth the trek to the area. The service is perfect, food is delicious, and wine list is fulfilling Should you bring your own bread? Absolutely not. The thing I love most is they serve bread from a sister bakery and they have definitely allowed me to eat at least a loaf read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! We have been trying to get a reservation here for a long time but always seemed to forget about the date that reservations are released. We finally got one to celebrate a late Valentine's Day and it was definitely worth the wait. The host was very friendly. Took our jackets and offered us complementary sparkling wine as we had to wait a few minutes for our table to free up. The service throughout the meal was great. All the food was incredible, with the exception of the desert. The moose that was on top of the cake was excellent but the cake was a tad dry and flavorless, but still didn't take away from the meal as a whole. The pasta was definitely a highlight! Made sure to soak up every last bit of sauce with their amazing bread. We would definitely like to come back! read more

Nice décor and service, not fond of the food - Andiario is a classy, white tablecloth spot that is a nice change from the casual pub vibe at nearly all restaurants today. The space is small, but the tables are nicely spaced and generous in size, and noise is minimal which makes for an elegant experience. The service was top notch throughout dinner. However, the main reason we went here was for the food, and in our opinion it is overrated. Dinner started with a small amuse-bouche cheese tart which my partner liked but I thought it was not much better than something I could get in the frozen food section. Next up was a rigati pasta (larger macaroni) in a mushroom butter sauce. The sauce was tasty, but the pasta was not al dente, rather it was simply undercooked and too salted. A bone marrow dish with an accompanying herbed toast followed and honestly I couldn't eat it. The marrow was like eating a piece of lard or something. Next was a whole trout - with the skin it had a nice flavor, but the filet alone was rather plain. The best dish was dessert which was a dumpling take on a cannoli. The dough was nicely done, the filling was delicious and the cream on the side finished it all nicely. For the price and reputation, we'd expect more. read more

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. Every time we come here not the staff and chef out do themselves from previous experiences. The menu, while a surprise, is perfectly balanced and well thought out with quality ingredients and clearly a ton of heart poured into every dish. It is not only a great night out, but a wonderful way to try new dishes you may not routinely order. To the owners and team; please keep doing what you are doing. I am excited to try their future menus. read more

Really great food, although a bit pricey. Great service and a really good time for a special occasion.

I've managed to snag reservations to go to Andiario twice now --- which is no easy feat after it was named to the NY Times Best Restaurants in the US last year. My advice: be ready on their website at 11:55 AM on the 20th of the month prior and don't be too picky about the exact timing --- reservations open at 12 PM and are gone within 5-10 minutes. If you're able to see a timeslot available, snatch it, because it'll likely be gone by the time you think about it. Andiario offers a four-course prix-fixe tasting menu that changes week to week to feature local offerings (including, on my most recent visit, locally grown PA citrus!!). They do offer the option to adapt the menu for vegetarians. The price of the meal was recently increased to $80, which is very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you receive. I've seen some other reviews complaining about the lack of artistry in their presentations --- this is not entirely off base. While the presentation of their dishes isn't unappealing, this isn't a place wasting time cutting your portion into a perfect circle and making sauce swoops shaped like a heart. The art here is for your taste buds, and on that, this restaurant excels. My biggest complaint is their drink situation. They offer two cocktails (a Negroni or an Aperol Spritz --- essentially the same flavor profile) and a variety of wines that are $15-ish per glass or $60+ per bottle. Alternatively, you can BYOB, but they charge a $35 corkage fee PER BOTTLE, which can add up quickly (but is still more affordable than buying their wines). I'd love to see them offer another cocktail or two that appeals to a different palate. On our most recent visit, our amuse-bouche was small serving of tuna crudo with lemongrass oil that was fresh and flavorful. I would have loved for this to be a full course by itself! Our first course was a farro arancini with a salad of radicchio, blue cheese, and walnuts, all of which was served family style. The arancini were crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside, and the salad was delicious and very well balanced. The salad portions were large enough that we wound up taking some home. On this visit and our prior visit, the pasta course was our favorite by far. We were served a fresh pasta filled with butternut squash, served with a buttery sauce, fennel sausage, and brussels sprouts to create a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Our third course featured smoky chicken thighs along with roasted salsify in a delicious sauce, again served family style. Though I tend toward a predominantly vegetarian diet these days, I do indulge in an occasional meat dish while I'm out if it fills a craving or is particularly tasty, and this chicken was totally worth it. The texture and seasoning were perfect, and it was equally delicious warmed up as leftovers the next day. Of note, our firmly vegetarian friend was served the largest roasted carrot I've ever seen, which was also surprisingly delicious for being essentially a giant vegetable by itself on a plate. We ended with a lilac torte with blackberry cream, a light but delicious dessert that we all agreed was a highlight of the meal. All in all, a delicious evening, and I do look forward to visiting again. A note about parking: it's all street parking in that area of West Chester, but there is a public lot 1-2 blocks away on Chestnut Street that was very convenient if you want to skip the driving-in-circles part of the evening. read more

Food | Everything was fresh and well selected. Presentation is clean with minimal flourish. Each dish was familiar, but prominently featured a niche ingredient. Arancini with a local grain rather than rice, a pan seared scallop garnished with puntarelle in a light bright dressing, squab with chestnut mousse and carmelized pearl onion. Nothing 'exotic', rather uncommon locally sourced produce. I was surprised by some flavors and combinations, but I enjoyed each dish. Space + Design | Crisp farm to table vibe. The dishes are earthenware, turned wood, and natural materials. I later learned they were mostly custom ordered and made by local artisans. The team is dressed comfortably rather than in a uniform or following a strict dress code. Some in suit and tie, others in t-shirts and jeans. It contributes to a more casual atmosphere. Some of the dishes included finger food or encouraged hands-on eating so that all works together. I feel I could have worn something more or less formal and still felt correctly dressed. This in and of itself is incredible. To feel properly dressed is practically unheard of in this corner of the world. Don't expect to be seated in gym clothes, but don't be afraid of comfort. The restaurant achieves 'fine dining' without being stuffy or overly formal. Value | Good price point for the fare. $80 for 4 courses. Something like this could easily be a couple hundred a head in a major city. The wine list has modest variety and reasonable pricing. They offer a wine pairing. I believe it was $85, but that price changes according to the evening's selection. Not sure if there's a Somme because I brought a bottle of something special and paid the corkage fee ($35 standard for the area). Based on similar dining experience I've had in different cities/countries, this was a moderately priced meal. I was pleased to find it so affordable in comparison to other places I've dined. Experience | Is Andiario for you? I made a reservation for one. Sometimes you're just in the mood to do something solo. I people watched, made friends with a table of wine enthusiasts, and had a front row seat while a rude man complained about everything. At one point he lamented that he wasn't given as many forks as he expected. Fancy = Forks? He and his companion left early much to everyone's relief. He was a well-timed counterpoint to my peaceful solo dining. I'm telling you about him because I think he's a good reminder of what Andiario is not. It is not a place where you go expecting to love every bite of every dish. It's not a place where you get "your money's worth" by itemizing the cost of individual ingredients. You are not there to tell them what YOU want. You are there to share in what THEY have hand picked and carefully prepared for you. Andiario is an adventure you go on and Andiario is the guide. You're paying for the experience as a whole. You are expected to make very few decisions, which is a relaxing break for some and a nightmare for control freaks. Maybe you don't like a particular vegetable. Try it in a new pairing, see if the flavor changes after a sip of wine. It's an exercise in trust and an exploration of the slightly unfamiliar. Final Note | They fed me the most delicious slice of bread I've ever eaten in my life. I don't know what kind of magic they're practicing in the wee hours, but they're doing it right. Best. Bread. Ever. read more

Came back after a while and had the tasting menu this time. Greeted by this very nice and a super friendly host, she even opened the door and offered to take our jackets. Bone marrow was a bit raw (bloody) so we just scooped only the cooked portions. Server saw both of our plates & were relatively unfinished but he did not bother to inquire. Buttery and nice but nothing special. The pasta dish was the star of the night, superb and nice. Dessert was equally sweet and enjoyable. Wife had the wine pairing, one was a simple red 'blend', all were ok, none special. read more

Chester County Natives, if you haven't fought to get a table at Andiario yet, you'd better put it on your short list of things to do. This quaint, sumptuous, family-owned gem is hands down our favorite. Every meal is an experience. The sommelier is fantastic and the price for the fixed menu is perfect. Trying to get a table is very challenging, but always worth it. read more

A very nice meal! The staff was very attentive. The ambiance was lovely with the open kitchen so you can see chef work from your seat. Very delicate and refined menu - chef's pastas are incredible! read more

I gave my daughter and son-in-law a $260 gift card for Andiario for Christmas. At the end of Jan., they went to the small, but nicely decorated restaurant with another couple who also had a gift card. They found the meal severely lacking. The appetizer was a beet and blue cheese dish that they found flavorless. This was followed by some kind of rice bowl that was equally tasteless. Their green, wide very hard noodles had a bad taste. The pork shoulder was O.K., but they expected something more enticing. No one enjoyed the buckwheat cake dessert. The service was attentive, but not very friendly. My daughter just told me about their visit because she didn't want me to feel that my gift was unappreciated. I also discovered they had eaten at Andiario before and had an equally unsatisfying meal. I was very upset that my gift was a disappointment. I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

It's been years since I've been back, and sadly it'll probably be the last time. The staff was very attentive and the restaurant beautiful. However, nothing about this New American cuisine could have been described as above average. We were given a chef's compliment to start - chicken liver mousse on a rosemary cracker (it was two bites of richness) The appetizer was a toasted piece of sourdough with provolone topped with sun dried pepper (While a tasty dish, it was not thought through how someone would eat this. It was difficult to cut and too complicated for something so simple) First course was pasta and fennel sausage (by far the best dish of the night. Great flavor, but also too simple for a place like this.) Second course was soft shell crab over an asparagus salad (the salad was over dressed. Also, why would your main course of New American cuisine be soft shell crab... unclear) Dessert was a rhubarb tart with ricotta ice cream (unfortunately for those who couldn't eat the ricotta, there was no alternative to make this dessert not dry) While critical, our meal was nice. Great staff and experience, just the menu and quality of food...that's where we expected more. read more

Holy Moly, hands down this is one of the best meals I've ever experienced. The portions were sizable for the price, we definitely left feeling full! The wine pairing was a definite plus! I'm so glad we splurged for that!! The staff was absolutely lovely and unpretentious. read more

Andiario is where you go to have an out of this world dining experience, not where you go to eat dinner and leave. There is no way I wouldn't give this 5 stars. Securing the reservation was my accomplishment for the month. The menu changes frequently I have heard and from what I experienced, the menu had delicious looking options with ingredients I did not have experience with- so I was excited! I would say be open to trying new things here. Our server (who was excellent, as was the rest of the staff), recommended we dine in three courses: starter, pasta, protein. Please do this so you can try as much as you can. Had an asparagus and duck frittata which was exotic an appetizer as it was delicious. Ricotta gnudi with brown butter was on the plate for about two minutes before it was finished. The chicken dish was also beautiful but nothing like the pasta. All the dishes were on locally spun and glazed pottery that was beautiful and unlike any type of restaurant dish I've ever had. $10 BYO fee to tie it all in. If you can dine here, do it but know you will have a five star experience no matter what is on the menu that. Also, plan to spend a lot of time there; it's pleasant and a little cozy inside so it's not a problem. read more

Beginnings Scallops and Jerusalem artichokes sott'olio with Aji Dulce peppers and Tardivo. Shaved Brussel Sprouts with smoked pork shank. This is probably the best dish of the night. They are perfectly executed. Good balance in flavor and texture. Pasta Duck Ragu of some kind. Pumpkin cappellacci with chestnuts. The duck ragu based pasta was good, so as the pumpkin cappelacci. However, I am beginning to realize that I am not a fan of pumpkin. Proteins Wood roasted beef neck with buttered cabbage. The beef was tender and flavorful although a tad bit salty for my taste. Summary I travel a lot. In my travels, I try to experience the local culture through their food. What I have noticed in some of the best dining experienced I've had is the "story" that the food is telling you. For example. I've dined in a Tuscan farm where they only serve pasta with olive oil and tomato (both grown in their farm) and beef. How do I say this. Food was delicious with some misses for the level it is aspiring to be in. Decor is like any other open kitchen concept. Kind of tired now, to be honest. Big plus is how refreshing the spacing of seats are. You can actually dine without worrying about the next couple a few inches from your table. The free water (still and sparkling) is nice touch. read more

This was our first time to the restaurant. We had high hopes. Our hopes were not dashed. From walking in, it was warm and cozy on a freezing winter night. The place was full. We scored a last-minute reservation. We both like the food, and the service was outstanding. In addition to the four courses, they serve a unannounced little baby starter dish. The winds were definitely pricey, and I would advise to bring your own and pay the corkage fee. We'd love to go back... Probably may be on a special occasion night as it is a little pricey. read more

My husband booked a reservation here for our anniversary. You have to book it 60 days in advance if you want to come on a weekend. He missed the day the calendar opened up for our date and booked it 59 days out instead of 60, so all that was left was an early 5:00 reservation. But I ended up getting hungry by then so it wasn't a huge deal. The restaurant was small and intimate but was decorated nicely. Our server was friendly and informative. He took time to go over the items on the menu and I had questions about the wine as well. He brought out a sample of the one wine I was thinking about getting, which was very thoughtful. You can bring your own wine if you want but it's a $10 fee, so we just went with the wines they offered. Our server recommended that people get 1 appetizer to split, 2 pastas, and 1 entree to split. We ended up getting 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, and 1 entree. We knew we both wanted to get pasta because that it what they are known for. I would have liked to see a few more pasta options, but both items we got were delicious. I got a ghundi ricotta pasta that were shaped in balls and cooked in brown butter and had a creamy cheese sauce on top. The pasta seemed very thin and almost not there, but it melted in your mouth and was amazing. It kind of reminded me of the spinach gnocchis from Vetris. The other one we got was a spring type of pasta with asparagus in it which was very good as well. We also got the scallops and some prosciutto as an appetizer. The scallops were perfectly seared and tender. The prosciutto was different and almost tasted like smoked ham, but I enjoyed it and the presentation with the flowers in it was nice. They came around with focaccia bread multiple times too, so by this point we were starting to get full. We ordered the chamomile glazed duck as our meal. The top was perfectly crispy and glazed, and the inside was tender. We were full but had to finish it. We were then brought the dessert menu and were hesitating, but went with the rhubarb with eclat chocolate. It was pretty light, which was good because we were full. We were then brought out some chocolate with a candle in it and were wished Happy Anniversary. I wanted to go on a trip for our anniversary, but things got busy and we didn't really have time to plan a getaway. But we had a great night out and this restaurant made our day feel special. read more

Finally was able to snag a reservation here and it was certainly worth the wait! First the service is exceptional. The staff is so attentive, and very helpful. The menu is set, and they offer wine, a few cocktails and a couple of beers. You can bring your own wine but they do charge a corking fee. The food was delicious. The menu changes weekly. The portions were on the smaller side so while we didn't leave hungry we weren't stuffed. For a special occasion I would definitely recommend. read more

I've been wanting to take my wife here for some time, but couldn't secure a reservation when I wanted one. We finally made one for our five year anniversary, and I couldn't think of a better place for someone who loves freshly made pasta. As I said, I couldn't think of a better place... she probably could... in another country though... We're sticking local, so amazingly made pasta close to home is what we were after. What we got was a special night out with exquisite service. I absolutely loved the entire vibe throughout the meal. We opted to partake in cocktails/wine from Andiario, but you may bring your own bottle for a corkage fee. Our server, Aidan, offered suggestions and steered us in the right direction. He mentioned we should have gotten one beginning, but we didn't listen and went with two. The best scallops I've ever had, which now set the bar for that, along with an Italian prosciutto. Bring more bread out, because we can handle this. Then the pasta round came and my nicely rolled pasta, like penne, with similarly sized asparagus, was so much more filling. We split this too, along with a ravioli-less ravioli filling? Of course we need even more bread for this pasta and now we're full. Oh wait, here is the chamomile honey glazed duck we were splitting. So good, must finish... this duck was present beautifully with the leg, thigh and breast bone on the bottom, with glistening glazed duck breast sliced in top. A few turnips surrounded this fish, and if I had to have one complaint it was the serrated knife couldn't cut the small greens on the turnips... improvisation time, as we're in a pasta restaurant, let's roll it up on our fork like spaghetti. We ended with a rhubarb dessert with some eclat chocolate crumble. A light finish to a full course meal. Service was incredible, especially with a small staff on hand. No one seemed rushed and they all had a personality. When the check arrived, some more eclat cocoa nibs with a candle and another happy anniversary wish. As we exited, the hostess too wished us a final happy anniversary. Amazing night out and so happy we finally made it out. read more

Tonight was our sixth visit since July 1st. The menu is different each week and always a delectable surprise. I have food allergies and I appreciate the delicious and thoughtful substitutions. I love the fresh eggplant and tomatoes from Maria's garden tonight. The chanterelle mushroom, lima and borlotti bean trio with the main course was scrumptious. I could eat an entire bowl of it. The halibut was bursting with flavor and the fresh pasta was perfectly done. It is such a treat to come and we appreciate the kindness and warmth of Chef, his wife, and staff. We look forward to each visit. read more

i have heard about this spot for several years and finally got a table for a relatives birthday last week. Although it's been next to impossible to get in when try to snatch a table for a small party i think the move may be to try and get a larger group table and it's easier. Anyway this michelin starred West Chester legendary farm to table type of place lived up to its name. It's pretty interesting in that it's not like a stuff over too menu with a slew of menu items composed of extensive and rare ingredient lists. it's just really well executed set menus that come in like what seemed like roughly 5 courses and a desert. Our menu started with a sort of amuse bouche type of small chicken liver and pickled radish bite size little morsel of deliciousness. We the went to a pretty simple trout dish with watermelon radish and some sort of red butter lettuce component i think. The flavors of the fish and the vegetables were extremely clean and fresh and simple and everything went together perfectly. we then went to a pasta course, i think was a bucatini of some sort of larger gauge spaghetti cooked al dente with sausage and tomato ragu. it was so well cooked and the pasta was great it pulled in the flavors of the ragu and almost maybe one of my favorite things was the incredible baked bread that i saved some thankfully to mop up the remaining sauce and sausage with. The there was an oxtail course slow roasted to fall off the bone consistency dripping with morrow and accompanied with maybe the best heirloom polenta i have ever encountered. it was so rich and creamy and helped soak up all the fat and little pieces of heaven left behind from the solid parts of the oxtail meat. This polenta meat combo although filling was heaven. I sort of suspect i know the doylestown mill this originated at and it all makes sense if true but i don't know for sure so i will keep from suggesting it fully. I feel like i am missing a dish but who knows the flavors weee so good i was sort of in between consciousness and unconsciousness the who time. The meal ended perfectly with a very low profile maybe huckleberry type of pie with a creme fresh dollop on the side. I would almost argue was the best course although everything was so good it's hard to award any course better than another and every time i look back i find different reasons why one was the better one. The service was great and i love the restaurants set up. The open kitchen. The clean floral designs and one thing i have almost never i my life said about a restaurant of this quality; the most comfortable chairs maybe in any restaurant ever. All in all 5 out of 5. Deserves all its accolades. Totally worth the wait read more

Waited a long time to dine here and it did not disappoint. Great service, ambiance and food. 100%. Will return

Working off a recent top 50 list from Philly magazine, we ended up in west chester. We had 530 reservations so we got a prime seat by the window. Not a huge wine list or beer list is available but the food is excellent. And they kept bringing out more bread between courses. They are able to accommodate food allergies. Soup was great. Gnocchi was a bit too salty for our taste. Portion sizes were larger than other pre fix restaurants we have visited. Great meal for $80. Definitely worth a stop when you are in the suburbs. read more

Amazing... probably the best overall meal I've had in a long time. Very nice service and the food was just insane. So different and so delicious. My favorite was the pasta (not even sure what it was but I know it was good) and the one bite tuna app. I really want to go back for a summertime menu! It's also super cozy and cute inside but not stuffy and super formal. GO if you can get a rezzie! read more

Had high expectations given the place made it's way on the top 50 restaurants in Philly and it's not located anywhere near the city. Let me say that it did not disappoint. First, the ambiance was great. We were seated by the window and provided a mini space heater and a blanket which was so cozy for a cold night. I also appreciate that unlike most Philly restaurants, there is plenty of space between the tables. (Sometimes at these tiny Philly restaurants the tables are so close you're basically eating with the person next to you.) Now onto the food: everything was delicious but the pasta is really the shining star here. I really don't think you can go wrong with any option. All together we had 1 appetizer, 2 pastas, and 1 entree and 1 dessert and it was a perfect amount of food for the two of us. Though not a BYOB technically, We ended up bringing our own bottle of wine for a $10 corkage fee which was great! Overall a solid meal that I would highly recommend. read more

It is just about impossible to get a table at Andiario, so we trekked out from Philadelphia on a weeknight (the only night we could hope to make a reservation at a decent hour) to see what the hype was all about. Every dish, from the super-fresh fluke crudo served with incredibly sweet Aji Dulce peppers, to the pheasant tortelloni served with chestnuts and an intensely savory reduction sauce, to the wood-roasted beef neck served with some kind of slightly acidic broth permeated with the flavor of charred bone and cabbage, was an outstanding revelation of flavor. The table favorite was the tonnarelli all-Amatriciana, which took me straight back to the first time I ever had that dish in a tiny restaurant in Rome. (I felt like Anton Ego having his flashback in "Ratatouille" - it was that evocative.) If pastas are Andario's strong suit, I would say that dessert is their weakest - we had the paw paw cake, which unfortunately tasted like a really dense, slightly grassy banana bread and didn't quite capture the lovely tropical notes of the paw paw fruit. But the table next to us loved their pear galette and we heard our waiter tell them was his favorite dessert on the menu, so we probably ordered the wrong thing. The Philly area has so many excellent Italian restaurants, it can be hard to stand out. But Andiario, with a menu that seems to pull strongly from regional Roman fare (at least when we went - the menu changes frequently with the seasons), has found a lovely niche of its own. No question I would love to come back - but apparently (and well-deservedly for Andiario), so does everyone else in the tri-state area! read more
