Good food and great service.
Service was great, we liked the decorations, food was pretty good. Not amazing, but definitely good value.
Absolutely did not follow the 50% capacity rule, restaurant was freaking jam packed and every inside table was filled. Definitely avoid until Covid passes.
I am so happy I found this place, we went for Valentine’s day dinner and I was blown away. The pork meatballs were so delicious and the entrees were just incredible. The staff was so attentive and overall this was such a great restaurant and I will be coming back
The food was amazing!!! Ambiance was also a real treat! Don’t forget the galato!!! Made in-house and oh my goodness it was awesome!!! Parking is very hard to come by. If you’re going to head over take an Uber or if your feeling spry, you can park in the Sprouts garage off Broad and walk over.
Super yummy bread, pasta, and desserts!! Love that it’s BYOB. Service is great and social distancing of tables is great!
L’Anima is a cozy, friendly, modern neighborhood spot that serves delicious food. Everything about this place is quality, I love it here!
My girlfriend and I enjoyed another fantastic experience here, this time for Valentine’s Day. Service was excellent — efficient, but we never felt rushed nor did we lack anything we needed. All plates, from appetizer to dessert, were masterfully executed with authentic flavors. We’ll be back sooner than later.
Pasta dishes were amazing!
Love this place! Sat outdoors had plenty of heat lamps, chill ambiance! The service was great The waiters were friendly and attentive. The food is soo good and the prices were right. Definitely going back!
L'anima is the finest restaurant in my entire area of Philadelphia...and it may be on of the top restaurants in the entire city.
The music was far too loud when we entered the place for dinner last night....and was turned down (in fact OFF) when requested. The sound-ambience only got louder when a table of quite a few new guests arrived, but nothing to disturb the total effect of the place. The Roman Italian food is simply marvelous and always fresh, delicious and delightful. Last night's visit had Brandon, Julio, and Adam brilliantly seating and waiting on the customers, charming and prepared for any request.
Hooray for L'anima. I love this place.
The food was even better than it usually is! Very happy La’Anima has stayed open and available during all these shut downs. Will be back soon!!
Will return again soon. Food was delicious
Food and service were excellent. Disappointed I hadn’t tried it sooner. Job well done.
Wonderful. Excellent service.
My friend and I were looking around for covid friendly and new places to try and we saw availability here. We love trying new places and we’re so glad we went! This place is so cute and decorated nice! It’s like a coastal eclectic vibe! At the time it was playing some oldie hits! Anyways, the food was awesome! I got the special of a beef lasagna and it was amazing or else I’d try the pizza they offer. My friend got the Cacio e Pepe ! They loved it as well, they are a firm lover of the Cacio e Pepe. There were options to eat inside or outside(heaters included of course). You gotta come in and hear the specials too! It’s hard to take picture of your food but I will attach my lasagna. It is a BYOB! They will ask you to pull up their menu on your phone as they do not give out menus. Oh and complimentary bread too !
My go to restaurant in Philadelphia. ALWAYS incredible food, service, everything! Love trying their new menu items, too.
Our server was amazing. Bread was too good! Would definitely go again!
Always amazing! The heated tent is fantastic, Brandon is the best, and the food is delish
Was not aware that the restaurant was BYOB and the food was mediocre. Very limited vegetarian options.
Dining outside is a challenge but the restaurant has a nice large tented area and plenty of heat lamps. Food was delicious and dessert is very good! Cappuccino was marvelous.
Went here for New Years Eve dinner with my wife and had an excellent time. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I had the steak special that night and it was perfect. My wife doesn’t usually love steak and had several bites. She had the Cacio e Pepe and loved it. We live a few blocks away and are so glad to have discovered this restaurant. We will definitely be back!
Food was amazing, service was gracious, hospitable, warm and welcoming. The staff is excellent.
We have been there 4 times. Each time, service and food are exceptional. The staff is fabulous. Really the best staff ever. Brendon was amazing, fun, personal and welcoming. Our kids, who are picky eaters, loved the food and dessert. Highly recommend. Will be back.
Delicious food, charming service, love the outdoor setup.
Our favorite place in the city....we feel like it's home away from home. Rose and Luca care about their patrons and it shows! Brandon is the best of the best...service is always perfect and food is delish. They have done a beautiful job of creating a cozy holiday feel outside as well.
Deliciously amazing as always. Top tier. Some of the friendliest service in the city tops it off.
Wife’s birthday dinner.
Excellent service, food cannot be beat! The weekly specials are on point!
I had a great time eating outdoors with my family by a heat lamp. Everything we ordered was delicious. My picky son Are every last drop of his meal.
Great food, quick service. Nice outdoor atmosphere with Covid precautions taken.
We had been wanting to try for months and finally got it together. It was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. Given all the challenges presented by COVID19, they were high spirited and had a good crowd. Definitely try and squid ink pasta!! We'll definitely be back.
Always great and comfortable. Neighborhood gem with lovely service.
Continues to be the best real Italian in Philly. Highly recommended.
We absolutely love L'Anima and appreciate their dedication to serving safely and cleanly during the pandemic. Food is incredible and the service was friendly and excellent.
Sat outside. Was great! 1st time there. Food very good. Will go again.
Brandon is exceptional and the chef is incredible!
Always great!
A go to for me! Food is always yummy and service is friendly and prompt. Very COVID conscience with great patio seating. I recommend it to everyone.
Love L'Anima, and their pastas are incredible. We decided to try a pizza which was a mistake. The pizza was more of a flatbread, without any taste whatsoever. It was a dry crust with prosciutto, arugula, and shaved Parmesan. Completely unseasoned.
