I was in the neighborhood for a work trip and had a late train back to Baltimore so I popped into…read moreTaverna for some dinner and to finish some work. They sell a lot of their own merch so that's what you first see when you walk in. They have a bar area as well. The dining area towards the back is very spacious. And they have seating to accommodate small-large groups. The dim lighting adds to the calm vibe of the restaurant. The service is so fast. I feel like every item came out so quickly. And the servers checked in pretty frequently to clear the table, ask you if you need another drink, dessert, etc. it did feel a bit rushed. As a starter they give you their Ciabatta bread and the sun-dried tomato oil. The oil was DELICIOUS. I literally bought a jar to take home. For my drink I got the Fresca. It was good, very refreshing. For my entree I got the Linguini & Clams. It was good, could've used a bit more salt but the sauce was good. For desert I got the boozy affogato and it was delish. Would definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area.

The ambiance has a beautiful old-school Italian feel with a modern touch, and the noise level was perfect--lively enough to have atmosphere but quiet enough to enjoy a conversation. The wine list was moderately priced with a nice selection. We started with the bread, which was delicious, followed by fresh Blue Point oysters and the burrata appetizer, which was also very good. A special mention to Christine in management--she was exceptional and really elevated the overall experience. Great food, thoughtful service, and a warm, polished atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the experience did not meet those expectations. My pasta was served cold, and my husband's steak was overcooked. In addition, it took approximately 20 minutes to receive our after-dinner coffee. We were informed that the delay was due to a new coffee machine that staff members did not yet know how to operate. Given our history of positive experiences at your restaurant, this visit was particularly disappointing. I hope this feedback is helpful and that future guests will receive the level of quality and service we have come to expect from your establishment.

This cafe doesn't belong to good old Tony. The new owner someone named Louidgi. My advice to you don't buy anything from this fraudster. Quality is gone, no Covid rules are followed here. No one wearing masks, place is not clean. I ordered Sicilian pizza with extra cheese. What I got was horrible bread, watery sauce and hardly any cheese. That was my last trip to Tony's cafe and I used to be a regular there. Its a shame this nice and friendly cafe in a convenient location changed to a piece of crap!!!!!! read more

I agree with the other reviewers that the pizza is some of the best in town. This restaurant is now allowing customers to sit in the dining room, which is good but then twice I've come here to dine in and no one really "waited" on me. I felt like I was being ignored. And the dining area is not clean. The COVID excuse isn't going to fly forever since tables should be clean whether or not we are in a pandemic. read more

The food is good for the most part, one of the thing that keep me from going is that if you use a credit card they want to charge you a fee of 3.5% for using the card and depending on the amount of your order it can be a lot. Looks like they don't want to pay the transaction fee for using a credit card so they want to pass it onto the customer, so unless this changes I will not going back there. read more

Excellent food & service. Prices are fair You get plenty of food. It's a small place so plan accordingly. I take my Dad we are from South Philly. The gravy is like my Mom's.

The crust now tastes like a store-bought shell, the sauce seems overly sweet, and the sausage, pepperoni, and cheese blend feel noticeably lower quality than before. What's disappointing is that Tony's already had a winning formula. Changing a product that built such a strong local reputation doesn't make much sense from a customer perspective. Sadly, this shift has lost my family's business. If I want that type of pizza, I can go to chains like Domino's, Pat's, or Seasons. For quality local pizza, Cacciatore's will now get all of my business.

Imagine this: pizza with delicious savory toppings and a generous amount of cheese than isn't greasy, light airy crust, large slices and the option of personal pies so it's not just a treat but an actual meal...that's what I had. To be more specific I had the Michaelangelo personal pizza 10" which had tender chunks of chicken and roasted peppers as a topping. My husband had a slice topped with buffalo chicken. We both sat and ate in silence which for us is a sign that it tastes really good. The decor inside is simple but cozy, clean and inviting. Although they offer pizza by the slice that they make beforehand, but the personal pizzas and most other items on the menu are made to order. My husband spotted the guy working his magic with the dough for my pizza. When they brought our pizza to the table the aromas were a pleasant signal of what we were about to have. We will definitely be back to try one of the many other menu items like the hot subs or pasta dishes that all sound very tempting. Come show them some love-great spot!
