La Famiglia Room Catering Hall

Great food, great service..a MUST when in Philadelphia. Love places like this. Thank you so much from the Parker's from Okc

Overall, La Famiglia is a good place to visit for a good meal and we will be going back soon. Pros: The peach cheese and tagliolini seafood appetizers were both excellent; The bread served before the meal was warm with just the right amount of soft inside and crusty outside. The brushetta served before the meal was some of the best I 've had. The penne prosciutto and Filet entree 's were just the right mix of al dente pasta and tasty, medium rare, meats; And the lemonciello dessert cake was to die for! And while one of the reviews I saw thought the 'bible ' size wine list was a reason to give this place a bad review, we appreciate good wines and were very impressed with the sheer 'size ' of the wine list. Cons: The room volume level was unexpectedly just a bit on the louder side; we kind of prefer one or two servers, and on this occasion, we couldn 't keep track of who was actually responsible for our table; That probably contributed to service being just a tad bit on the slower side (i came here many years ago and the server literally wouldn 't let my glass get half empty before refilling it, so the bar was set high from that previous experience; unfortunately, that didn 't happen on this occasion); The Filet, while done to a wonderful medium rare and quite flavorful, came across with a slight hint that the meat might have been previously frozen and thawed and not actually full on fresh. It 's worth noting, though, that NONE of the cons here are convincing enough, in our opinion, to prevent anyone from coming to La Famiglia. It was a wonderful meal and we 'd certainly recommend it to others.

A very busy Saturday evening at the restaurant. The service was very slow, the waiter convinced my friend not to get the food he wanted, and the food was either delicious or inedible.

Beautiful old world Italian ambience. Excellent service. Every dish we had was delicious. Octopus with polenta cake crispy on the outside and soft and moist inside, with porcini sauce, eggplant layered with mozzarella and mushroom truffle mouse, penne with caramelized onion and prosciutto. pappardelle with porcini tomato sauce and halibut on a bed of fennel. I can't recommend this place enough.

We had my 70th birthday party in the wine cellar. Tremendous atmosphere. Everything was great. The eggplant was light and super. Same for the pastas. The steak was perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and very professional. The wines are always good.
