The Victor Cafe - Philadelphia

Outstanding as always!

Such s perfect evening. We took our friends, a couple in their upper 80’s, for dinner here. Our friends were delighted, The Victor Cafe is definitely at the top of our favorite restaurants. The Food, Service, Ambiance, Entertainment, Valle Parking.....all so perfect. Thank you so much Victor Cafe. My husband and I cant wait to come back and also visit the upstairs bar area♥️

The crab filled tortellini was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had, and of course the operatic staff were so talented.

Great food and great service as always. I love the atmosphere and the cure they put in preparing their dishes.

This is still one of the best restaurants in the city. The food is absolutely wonderful and the performances are really great. You really need to experience this for yourself.

Very enjoyable!

We dined at Victor Cafe to celebrate my Mom's birthday. Our experience was fantastic! The staff was super talented and professional and the food was delicious. The performances made for a memorable experience and we cannot wait to return. Bravo!!

One of the most unique experiences you can possibly have in Philadelphia while being in a familiar setting. Unlike anything in the city.

Very good food, loved the opera singing and service was awesome! I will be coming back.

great time, great value, a must go to place, opera, song and food, at a great place.

Great place to go if you like the opera. The staff sings arias from operas and they are very good. The food is very good as well. A nice little place.

Loved the Victor cafe. We were visiting Philadelphia and heard about it on a local tv program. It was so much fun. We loved the Opera, the ambience, and a unique experience! We both highly recommend this restaurant! A must if you are visiting Philadelphia!

We love coming here. It's our tradition. Our server had a bit of an attitude, but it didn't distract us from enjoying. Maybe she just was having a hard day. Food excellent as was the singing.

Excellent food and ambience. We really enjoyed the performances! We’ll be coming back for more

We enjoyed everything about The Victor Cafe. The food and service is always spot on. The singing is always spectacular! Love hearing all the young talent.
The lounge upstairs is such a romantic spot.
My sweet potato tortelloni was delicious!
Will return anytime we visit Philadelphia.

Always delightful, delicious, pure magic

This is such a special place. It is a small, funky space with a cozy ambience. The food is excellent but what makes it so fantastic is the singing wait staff. Every 20 minutes one of the waitresses announces what she would like to sing. It wasn’t a distraction but a unique opportunity for those of us who aren’t all that familiar with opera to experience beautiful voices raised in song. We found this restaurant online while visiting Philadelphia and it is a gem.

Our dinner was a glorious experience. The food was excellent with a comfortable surrounding. The highlight is the incredible talent of the singing wait staff. We enjoyed six different soloists during our meal. We can't wait to return.

Great food, great ambience, great experience. The waitresses all had great voices

Party of four enjoying Philly. The servers, who every twenty minutes, one would ring a bell and introduce a short aria that they would sing. All so very talented! The wait staff all seem to love what they do-just a really fun way to dine in this South Philly neighborhood. Highly recommend. PS. Whole branzino was cooked to perfection.

Thank you for such a special experience. As big fans of Rocky we were very excited to dine at Victor Café... But we left Opera fans too! Such talent and warmth from the lovely staff. Steven attended to us for the most part and he and his colleagues took great care of us, and my three children were made to feel very welcome. The food is impeccable. The sense of history, culture and community that pervades Victor Café is truly special. Four Irish people fell slightly deeper in love with Philly - especially South Philly - as a result of our experience here! Thank you x

A true South Philadelphia experience with fresh authentic Italian cuisine brought to you by professional opera singers, with interludes of song in a row house that could easily have served as a meeting place in bygone years. Fabulous!

Unique atmosphere! A must visit for visitors and locals alike.

Food was delicious
The waiters and waitresses singing opera is a highlight
The tiramisu was the best ever!

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Highly recommend.

One of my new favorite places in the city. LOVED the entertainment by the extremely talented staff. I had tears in my eyes after one of the pieces that was sung while we were there. The food was quite good and we loved the cozy lounge upstairs as well.

Amazing experience

Both the service and food were very good, and the lovely addition of the very talented wait staff performing famous arias was a special tear.
The only disappointment was that the bill that was presented to us had prices which were significantly higher than those cited on the online menu.

AMAZING! DINNER AND A SHOW! If you haven't visited this restaurant - get there ASAP! The food, ambiance and service was AMAZING!

My husband and I had the best time. We truly enjoyed the entire experience. Topher our Tenor/Waiter was just wonderful and so very talented as were all the singers who had offered spectacular performances during the evening...and si haven’t even mentioned the food...absolutely increíble! We will be back!!!

Fun restaurant. The singers were outstanding. Food very good. After the buzz of the main restaurant a cozy room with a nice ambiance upstairs awaits so you can enjoy coffee, dessert and after dinner cocktails

Amazing evening, great food, wonderful voice !! Definitely returning..

GREAT!!!!!HIGHLY RECOMEND IT! FOOD WAS GREAT, ATMOSPHERE WAS GOOD- IT WAS OUR SECOND TIME THERE AND HOPEFULLY NOT THE LAST TIME

Great place with pretty good food! Mussels were a little sandy but overall very good and will definitely be back.

Great. Will definitely be back.

We were here once before and it was great. So when my boyfriend’s mom was visiting from Europe we made a reservation as the food was yummy and ambiance unique.

Unfortunately on the date of dinner we were placed in the crosshairs of a major traffic lane in the restaurant and in the first ten minutes I was knocked into so many times, I couldn’t even get a glance at the menu without being bumped into by hips and thighs - by patrons and servers alike. I tried moving the seat in a few different spots of the round table to not get hit so much but nothing worked.

After being accidentally jolted from behind which forced my waterglass into my lip as I was drinking I had enough. We were going to leave but the restaurant reseated us out of the not-fit-for-a-table zone and things were much better. On top of all of this everyone (working) seemed quite stressed and it appeared the owner was walking around saying “I can’t believe this, what’s happening” and well, it just made this whole second experience a lot different.

The first time we had ever come here there were songs every 10-15 minutes. This time it was once every 45 minutes even though both occasions were on weekend evenings.

The food was delicious and although I had a headache from having a glass forced into my mouth (accidentally) by staff it wasn’t the greatest dinner experience. Everyone has an off night I get it but I think we will try other places in the future.

First dined at Victor’s 20 years ago when we moved to Philly, so sorry that we haven’t been back sooner. It is truly a magical dining experience with excellent professional service (not to mention that they can also sing!) and wonderful dishes. Will be back very soon!

Went for my son's birthday. It was the best time. Everything was wonderful!

Really enjoyed ourselves..We had a fantastic meal and the entertainment was fabulous...

An excellent restaurant with beautiful opera singing.
