The dinner was good! However when I asked the waitress to serve us a birthday cake that I had brought there for my son-in-law’s birthday they charged us one dollar per slice to cut up the cake. This is one south Philadelphian that will never go back there again

Quickly becoming my go-to weekend Italian joint! The staff are fantastic and the food is great. I’ve only had a few things off the menu so I can’t speak to it all. The chicken parm can feed a family it’s so big. BYO is a bonus! Great for a date night or larger groups.

We came here with high expectations after a glowing review from a relative. After eating here we’ll never go back. «Mozzarella Fritta» was literally mozzarella sticks I could have bought at any pizzeria. Chicken parm came out soggy with very little taste. I expected the homemade marinara to have a little more flavor. End result was a bland over-priced meal. Save your money. There are plenty of other Italian options in the city. By the way, I no longer trust this relatives restaurant suggestions. Service was below average. Seemed like everyone was stepping over everyone else shoes. I think it was the manager who initially took our order and we could hardly hear what he was saying. The three employees that were in eye-shot of our table were on their cell phones more often than waiting our table. I know I already said this but it’s definitely a point of emphasis… save your money. Go elsewhere.

Nice little Italian restaurant. Good homemade food. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We had the Sicilian Calamari, Escarole & beans, Chicken Marsala and Chicken Blanco. Excellent.

let me save you a bunch of time and money. the service is atrocious. I walked in for my 8:00 reservation at 8:01; the waiter, while sitting at the bar says«heh… it’s about time we’ve been waiting for you». Can you make this up? my friend and I wanted to put an appetizer in as we where talking and looking over the menu. we where told that we had to order all at once… Ummm what?! food comes out… it’s luke warm and just ok. so if you like high priced mediocre food and service from people who are more concerned with conversing among themselves then working with you then this is the place for you…

I’ve been looking forward to go to Scannicchio’s for almost a month. Finally, my friends took me there for a belated birthday dinner. They claimed to be one of the famous and most authentic restaurants in South Philly. and I’m not sure where to begin? We decided to sample four appetizers: Stuffed Whole Artichoke, Ravioli Fritti, Calamari Fritti and Insalata Caprese. All were okay, but nothing stood out. My friends disagreed though, they all seem to enjoyed it. The bread basket and the fennel with garlic and olive oil plate, came out after the appetizers. Colleen and I ordered the daily special, Filet Mignon cooked medium, topped with crab meat and served with asparagus and other vegetables. The rest of us, ordered a Lobster Ravioli and a Steak Big John. I have to say, my filet was flavorless and very chewy, probably overcooked to my liking, and the crab meat was dry and tasteless. The complementary dish of Penne with tomato sauce(y’know: gravy) that came with my filet was cold, and I’m not sure if it was homemade sauce or was heated up from a jar. Fair and square though, the other three people at my table, again, loved every bite. Finally, we ordered one Crème brûlée, a cannoli and two Bailey’s Irish Cream Pies. Those were good, perhaps the standouts of the meal, if i had to choose any. I’m not trying to pull a Gordon Ramsey here and I’m so aware this is not kitchen nightmares, but If a restaurant is going to charge almost $ 40 for an entrée, it better be amazing and mind blowing. Ceilings with water stains, walls with peeling paints are not exactly what I look for in any good restaurant. Worse than the $ 233 before tip for the 4 appetizers, 4 entrees, 4 desserts and coffees(reminder: it is a BYOB!) was the smile-free zone! None of the staff smiled even once, not the hostess, nor the waiter or even the server. The service was inattentive and unfriendly. The restaurant charged an arm and a leg, and I wondered why no one welcomed us with open arms. Hello there! Every customer would appreciate a «Service with a smile.» I would say that this place is over-rated, and I’m a bit confused by some of the reviews. With the uneven dinner, ‘ll be never be dining in there again. One and half Unilocal

I came in last night right before their closing hours with two other adults and two little ones. The entire staff was very hospitable and kind. All of the food was amazing. Two apps bruschetta and an artichoke were unbelievable! One had the eggplant parmigiana, the special steak filet topped with crab meat, and I had the pollo alla bianco. Everything was exactly on cue and beyond our expectations. Great job to the entire staff at this fine establishment.

The food is above par, which should be enough to keep you going back. Unfortunately, the service is terrible. Ordered the crab ravioli from the specials for $ 22.00, but ended up getting a plate of dough with shrimp on top. The cheese filling was nowhere to be found. Three ravioli into my dinner, I was told that my dinner was lobster ravioli and not the crab. Instead of profusely apologizing for the mistake, the waiter just flung up his hands in disgust and walked away. He was upset that my plate was for another table. I’m not a complainer, so I finished my mediocre dinner without saying a word. To add insult to injury, when I received my bill, the waiter crossed off the crab special and wrote in lobster, which was now $ 2.00 more. Needless to say, I deducted the two bucks off my tip to the waiter. The food is above par, which offsets paying the slightly higher prices. However, my family and I have decided that after two trips in, the wait staff is horrible enough to keep us from coming back.

Oh my goodness, this is one of the best((if not the best) Italian South Philly BYOBs I’ve had the pleasure of eating from, all in the name of research of course. In typical fashion, the ambiance made me feel like I was eating at an Italian grandmother’s house, and the food was every bit as authentic and delicious. First I had a Caprese salad, one of my favorite dishes ever. This one was phenomenal, and really could stand alone as a meal. For dinner I had chicken Milan(I think that’s what it was called). Basically it was a chicken cutlet topped with broccoli rabe and cheese. It was perfect. The chicken tasted homemade and was cooked perfectly. Also, it was bigger than the plate so I had some delicious leftovers. The pasta on the side was perfect as well. Typically I don”t like gravy unless my dad cooked it, but theirs was the real deal! Everything from beginning to end was perfection. I will definitely be a return customer.

The food here is consistently exceptional. My husband has been a customer for 9 years whenever he is in town. Portions are generous, service is excellent, and the quality of food is outstanding. They source seasonal food locally. Highly recommend. BYOB.

Dinner there last night with friends. Very comfortable restaurant(most places in So. Philly pack you in like sardines). Good service, staff was very friendly. Appy’s were delicious. Most entrees were very good to excellent. One was just OK. I would go back, but try something different.

We stopped in before a ball game at CBP. It’s a cute little corner Italian restaurant with very friendly staff. BYOB is a huge plus. Unfortunately the food is so so. Our party had the lobster ravioli, breaded chicken, spaghetti and meatballs, beat salad and artichoke. The lobster ravioli was fishy tasting. I don’t think they were fresh or homemade. The chicken was decent. The meatballs were ok, but tasted more like sausage. The beat salad was extremely salty, which we had to send back.

Was so happy that I was referred here by a family member! This place is the true definition of South Philly. This place is owned and run by 3 generations of the family who are always there. We showed up with 2 large bottles of wine, ready to enjoy a nice long meal. To start, we got the stuffed artichoke after reading the previous reviews — was just as everyone described, delicious and savory. I had the filet which was cooked perfectly, but skimped a little on the sides(asparagus and potatoes). I say your best bet is to go with a homemade pasta dish for the full experience!

Every year, I travel to Philly during around this date, Lord willing; and Lord willing, I get to eat at Scannicchio. Another five-star experience. Beet-walnut-goat cheese-arugula salad, and the salmon special(they get the freshest salmon you can imagine, except maybe Seattle), followed by homemade tiramisu and cannoli cream on the side. Oh mi ya ya. And capped off with homemade lemoncello. Are you kidding me? This place is like Death Row delicious.
