    Cotoletta is a charming restaurant with very welcoming team. The have a lovely selections of wines from which to choose. The Caesar salad was tasty but over-dressed. The Meatball with Rigatoni was tasty and the red sauce had a lovely nuanced flavor. Unfortunately, the rigatoni was over-cooked. If you get chilly, don’t sit in the booths in front of the door.

    The food was fabulous, from the bread to their famous stack. The bartender did a nice take on an old fashion and the staff was very attentive and friendly. A very consistent top notch place that earns return business.

    Lovely, small, family restaurant. Food very delicious, nice varied menu. Charming across from Fitler Sqare. Cozy, nice bar, attentive service. Our group of 4 all enjoyed their choices and all said they would go back again. Very good arugula salad, well-prepared pastas, fish was excellent. We shared the lemon dessert between us. Great neighborhood fine, a lot quieter than Rittenhouse Sq on a Saturday night.

    The eggplant parm and chicken parm were excellent as always. The restaurant appeared to be short handed which resulted in slower though still courteous service. We were seated near the door. Every time it opened a cold draft came with it. If shielded, diners near the door would be more comfortable. A fine neighborhood restaurant with just a few nit picking issues.

    From the minute we walked in, we felt like family. The owner and her husband were the kindest people. Our server, Michele was hands down the best sever we have ever had at any restaurant. I highly recommend this place!!! The food was delicious and the portions were large, we brought home what we couldn’t eat. Putting this in our top three places to visit a month!!!

    Absolutely fantastic authentic Italian food. The owner is a lovely person and so humble. The clams casino was the best I have ever had. The Caesar salad is creamy deliciousness. The chicken parm is another 5 star dish.

    We had a great time dining outside (it’s next to a little park on the other side of the street) on a summery Saturday night. Service was super friendly and well paced. We ordered the antipasto plate, the “stack” (their specialty, which is excellent), and a side of broccoli rabe, and shared between the two of us. Wine and cocktail options were great.

    We had the specials and loved every bite. Rocky, behind the bar, lived up to his Philly name…a Champ! Terrific ambience in a special neighborhood. Walked home to Brewerytown along the river walk and watched the sunset.

    The menu offers a good variety of Italian choices and the food has a "grandma made it" kinda presentation. The staff is very very friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. It can get a little loud with the bar.

    The ambiance, food and service were all exceptional! I had the homemade spaghetti with fresh basil, blistered tomatoes, white wine and garlic with added shrimp. It was delicious! We shared the Greek salad which was a special. The chopped peppers, tomatoes were perfectly ripe and flavorful and the fresh feta and dressing were perfect. Happy we discovered this wonderful neighborhood gem!

    This restaurant is on our weekly list of places to dine. We love the atmosphere, food, bar and service. It’s perfect for a week night dinner with the kids or a special occasion. You can get a delicious Chicken parm or a Seafood dish with fresh delicious seafood. We love all the menu items and think it’s one of the best restaurants in the city!

    Very nice evening out with friends. Waitress was upbeat, professional and very helpful. A lot of specials in addition to the menu. Service was good, the kitchen had some backup and slow to get food out but it was busy. Maybe too many specials had something to do with the back up? I would go back and recommend Cotoletta.

    The restaurant is on my regular list of restaurant rotations because the food is good creatively prepared and innovative however last night from a service angle was very disappointing. By the restaurants own admission they are understaffed as a result it's hard getting the kind of response you would like. At one point I had to get up to try to look for the server to put in my order since they were limited number of the soft shell crabs and when I did that one of the assistant managers came over and took the order for me. The dinner wine was comped because of that but when the bill came the server was not aware so we had to go through that mishmash. I hope the next time I return things will be up to snuff before now I would not recommend it only for that reason.

    I am 100% Italian I know all about very good food. The food at this restaurant is good, but needs improvement. Several examples include serving subpar bread (and not warmed/fresh); over-breaded cutlets; and a spaghetti sauce that did not taste homemade. The drinks and service is fine. Make a few tweaks to the food and this place will be worth the try.

    They were doing training for their staff it took us an hour to get our food and when it came it was cold and not very good. Certainly not worth the price tag. We had three people come and apologize to us which was very nice, but we we're offered anything to make up for it, not a glass of wine, a discount, a dessert, or even extra bread.

    Everything was very good, though most stuff was undervalued—nothing that wasn’t easily fixed though. Also, red peppers in the antipasto platter were a bit cold; they should be closer to room temp. A bit cooler than that is fine, but I needed them to warm up a bit to be able to taste them.
