About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Romantic
Good for special occasions

We're currently open for Takeout and Delivery offering a complimentary dessert with every order and 15% off. To pay we have mobile credit card option, or you can pay inside.

Beautiful Italian BYOB, and a staple for the last 7 years in the Pennsport area of South Philadelphia. Traditional cuisine and fresh pasta dishes are what make this little known gem so special. Formerly part of a trio of restaurants, Caffe Valentino now stands and shines alone after its new expansion: Caffe Valentino seats 65 downstairs in its rustic first floor dining room and a maximum of 160 guests in its elegant second floor dining room with full, open kitchen. If you haven't dined at Caffe Valentino before, it is a definite "must try" for your next dinner out or family gathering. Great for large groups as well as romantic dining.

Food was great, but unfortunately had a few large parties and seemingly not enough kitchen help and we were there a total of three hours. They recognized their mistake though and offered free dessert and coffee and were incredibly apologetic. Despite the time it took to be served, will give the spot a second chance.

What a lovely evening. This little gem occupies a corner on Washington and 3rd in South Philly. Parking on the street was not a problem. We were welcomed i and mmediately and shown to our table . We felt comfortable from the onset. The specials all sounded wonderful and we ordered the Pacchieri pasta which was clearly one of the best I've had. The Branzinio was prepared in the kitchen and served warm and over a delightfully dressed salad. We ordered dessert and were glad we did . The homemade cannoli was the best(maybe in the world) Look forward to returning. Oh, and this is a BYOB, but if you forgot your wine, they cordially offer a glass of their own wine!

As soon as we walked in, we saw a pile of chairs and boxes in the entrance and knew it was going to be a mess. After waiting 10 minutes a waiter walked by and we queried if someone could seat us. He growled, “in a minute, can’t you tell we’re a little busy?” At that point, we called an UBER, if the entrance and welcome was that unprofessional, I can only imagine what was going on behind closed doors.

I was disappointed that there was a limited menu on Valentine’s Day. The service was sub par and we waited awhile for every course. Not to mention the waiters seemed confused and in disarray. Our personal waiter appeared to be hopped up on so much cocaine he couldn’t sit still. Food was decent but not sure if I will be going back.
