We have been going to this restaurant for years. Last Saturday night was so awful there, we will…read morenot be returning because of three incidents. I called for a reservation on Sat. afternoon for that evening. Was told to come at 5:30pm (!) because they were going to be crowded later. No additional customers came to be seated outside. A handful of customers arrived for dinner after 6pm. When we asked why we were told to arrive so early, the manager said that the kitchen gets crowded, so they have to limit the number of customers to not "overwhelm" the chef. But at 5:55pm, there were only 3 couples inside and we were outside. We think that it may have been a simple mistake, but we will never know. The second problem is that for the last two Saturdays there, they have been hosting a daycare center (?) with several kids running around pretending to water the plants, playing with the hose, etc. for over 1 1/2 hrs. The outdoor dining area was soaked. Not optimal for a Saturday evening dining with a fine wine. Also, the outdoor music speaker was broken for at least 2 weeks. No music to enjoy. Just the screaming kids. Lastly, our check listed prices that were higher than those on the menu. Normally, we would not have even paid attention. But we were so unhappy already, we asked for a menu. Perhaps we were mistaken? No. We were told that they are raising their prices, but the new menus were not yet printed. We suggested that, to avoid further confusion, they simply charge the prices that were listed on the menu. And this is where the worst insult came in for us. The manager said that if we were worried about a few dollars, then we were......(cheapskates was implied, not spoken). We didn't argue. We wished them well. For several years we have enjoyed La Piovra and before that the Trattoria Sicilian. The food is decent to very good, and the atmosphere had a relaxing, European feel. It has now turned into an active daycare on a Saturday night with an insulting, fundamentally dishonest manager. And an honest apology would have sufficed.

Love love love La Piovra! They are so lovely there. It's a wonderful family owned business where…read morethe wife, husband (chef), and sometimes their adult kids work there as well. They make amazing food. Their pasta with pesto is something I've never had quite so good anywhere else, but our fan favorite are the hamburgers which I'm not really sure what kind of beef they use, but it is better than anything I can purchase and make it home, I highly recommend this place!! Lovely place to have a nice meal and it's BYOB!

Greeted and seated immediately we opted for a breakfast sandwich and French toast with sausage. Although the flavor was good the toast could have sat in the egg mixture longer as it was dry in the center. Egg sandwich tasty but scrapple on the thin side.

She checked in on us few times and always made sure our waters were filled. We got complimentary bread which tasted fresh and homemade. To start, we got the potato croquettes, and they came with marinara and ranch. They were very crispy. For our mains, we shared the pappardelle saporino which came with scallops and shrimp in a white wine scampi sauce. My personal favorite was the Calabrese focaccia pizza. It has italian sausage, spinach, and cheese. The crust was thin but fluffy at the same time! Will definitely return and try more from the menu!

The other orders were mostly good, but execution was way below par - for the place being 3/4 full on a Saturday.

This trip it was heavy and had an awful taste. 2 of us sent it back and was so bad we wanted nothing else. We had the grilled Romain before. My other friend got a special, it was a pork chop. Well I believe the wanted to make up the sale, because when the bill came the pork chop was $65. Come on this is Willow Grove, not center city. Our bill with our salads, one dinner was now over $100. Usually with 4of us it's that amount. Sorry I won't be back. But we still got lemon cello!!

I start almost all my meals at Italian restaurants with meatballs and gravy. It gives me the baseline for my review. I was startled at how bad the meatballs tasted here, and how the gravy was thin, and lacked flavor. It was the first time I can remember not eating my meatballs - they were pasty, dry, no flavor at all. In addition, I asked did ask for the dishes to be hot when they arrived .....the meatballs were not, which added to the unpleasantness. I wasn't expecting much from the entree we ordered, Eggplant Parmigiana - but it was good. Nothing special, I thought it was sliced too thin, but with the penne, it was hot, and quite an improvement over the appetizer. We also thought the bread was delicious - light and fluffy to soak up the olive oil. Maybe it's why the pizza there seems so popular. I think we'll go back to try the pizza, but will pass on the meatballs!
