It's only recently that I've been introduced to Mediterranean cuisine, and Arpeggio is one of the…read morebest restaurants in the Philadelphia Metro area for excellent Mediterranean food. The atmosphere is charming, and in fact you might say upscale for the area. Relying on my friend Chris to make our selections, we started off with appetizers. The Creamy Crab Soup could actually have been a meal. It was served with a generous side of Focaccia Bread which was the perfect complement to the dish. We also ordered a plate of Falafel, the Mediterranean Combo Platter and finished with Kataifi Shrimp. But what really impressed me was the service. It was more than a few weeks since I had dined there the first time, and not only did Amanda welcome me back, but she remembered my drink preferences and was ready to make new recommendations. She is one of the most personable wait staff I've come across in many years. Arpeggio is truly a gem. This restaurant is in my personal top five favorites in the Philly Metro region.

We were greeted with bruschetta and then raviolis in a blush sauce (free is for me) and the BYOB aspect is always a bonus. Burrata special appetizer salad & the filet carpaccio were both very tasty, flavorful and exciting to taste. Spaghetti bolognese and Veal entrees were classic and very delicious and filling as well. I saw reviews that staff were unfriendly and I did not even experience a glimpse of that. Everyone was extremely professional, genuine and courteous but not overly involved and fake friendly.( I hate the disingenuous friendly) 2 apps, 2 mains, and dessert was about 115$ so extremely well priced Can't wait to go back and try more!

I happened to pass through Ambler and stopped into this trattoria. The menu is very limited--each…read moreweek they offer three pasta dishes, and that's your main selection. If none of those appeal to you, your only alternative is to choose a pasta with a standard sugo (tomato sauce). There are also a couple of sandwich options, but those are limited as well. There's little to no flexibility--if it's not on the menu, they're not likely to accommodate substitutions or custom requests. That said, the two young men I encountered were both professional and not snarky at all in relaying the limitations. It was what it was. I went with rigatoni in sugo, topped with grated Parmesan. The pasta was excellent--perfectly al dente, and the sauce had great flavor and consistency. Authentic and well-prepared. That said, the downsides are hard to ignore. The portion was relatively small, and with a bottle of Italian soda, the total came to $22.58--closer to $30 with tip. There's also no complimentary bread. Focaccia is available for $5, but it didn't look particularly appealing (a bit dark and overly crisp), though I didn't try it. Pros: * Delicious, authentic Italian pasta * Perfect texture and well-balanced sauce * Clean, attractive trattoria setting Cons: * Very limited menu (pasta and a few sandwiches) * No customization or flexibility * Price feels high for the portion size * No complimentary bread Overall, a tasty experience, but the limited menu and value may not work for everyone.

Made reservations for 6. Showed up at 5:30 and there were only two full tables. So we asked if we…read morecould be seated early. The hostess said no. I can't seat you until 6. So I'm sitting there for a few and I'm like maybe they misunderstood and they thought I made a res for 6 people not at 6. So I went to clarify with the hostess. She understood and repeated the same thing. So we sat and waited a few more minutes before she had a change of heart and came out to tell us we could be seated now. We didn't leave for probably 45 minutes and not one more person came in. As soon as we sat down the hostess who was also the waitress came over and asked for our order. We of course we weren't ready. We just sat! She seemed frustrated and I was thinking wow this isn't going to be relaxing. The first thing I see on the menu is the sharing up charge. I hate that type of thing. I always like to do family style and share stuff. I want to try every thing if it's a good place. So we got an appetizer which clearly we were going to share. Luckily we did not get the share charge. The bread you get before your meal is so good. Fresh cut garlic and oil drizzled on it. You also get a side salad that was delicious. When they brought the calamari I tried moving the bread closer to me so the waitress(same as the hostess) could put the plate down. She grabbed the bread bowl from me and moved it to the other end of the table. When our actual meals came she couldn't wait to get our plates off the table. We really felt like we were an inconvenience. I thought maybe it was just a cultural thing. Or maybe she's just overworked since she was the hostess and waiting on 3 tables. Brought us boxes before we were finished our food. So we were like ok fine. We will just pack up. We were going to get desert but we decided let's just blow this popsicle stand and get something somewhere else. The food here is excellent. I would get take out again but I probably wouldn't suggest a dine in experience. Which is a shame. I don't even really like writing this critical of a review because I don't know what was going on in her life so maybe it was just the day.

I really enjoyed the bread they brought out before our meal, so didn't remember a picture until everybody had some. My daughter in law likes lemon in her water, and I really liked the way they served that, so I did remember a picture there. I had the Neapolitan pizza and would have preferred a little more cheese. My granddaughter had been talking about pasta Alfredo all week, and they were happy to put that sauce on her kids meal. My daughter in law had the Osso Buco and really enjoyed it, and appreciated that they could leave out the peas in the risotto. My son had the chicken parm and really enjoyed it. Their friend had some kind of sandwich, I didn't catch which, and he also enjoyed it. Somebody ordered the gnocchi for all to share and it was very good, with a creamy, cheesy sauce. An enjoyable meal!

Tuesday evening dine-in experience…read more I usually enjoy this restaurant, but today the food was unfortunately below average. The pizza came out very oily, and the pasta--which was $35--was served cold, overly salty, and lacked flavor. The seafood quality and quantity were also disappointing. We ended up taking both dishes to go because we didn't want to waste the food, but we each only had one slice of the pizza. Another issue was the timing: there was about a 20-minute gap between when the pizza and pasta were served, which made the meal feel disjointed. On a positive note, the atmosphere and holiday decorations were beautiful, and our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, though, it was a disappointing experience this time.
