Last night my boyfriend and I came for dinner and asked to sit outside which was absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t believe we were in the middle of northeast Philly! unfortunately it started to drizzle and lightning and were forced to go inside right before it poured. Your staff was more than accommodating and grabbed everything from outside and set our table before we made it to the table to sit down.
While it was pouring our waiter and back waiter (which was a female) were outside getting soaked pushing all the patio furniture under the awning so it wouldn’t get saturated. We noticed he said to her go inside I have the outside so she doesn’t get soaked. That shows chivalry isn’t dead. With that being said... Both our waiter and his back waiter were fabulous! So kind and friendly. We were definitely taken care of like we were family and look forward to many more dinners at Macaroni’s and P2.
Wonderful service from what seemed was the entire restaurant. The food was absolutely exceptional. A bit pricey but worth every penny. An extensive wine and spirits menu. The dinner specials and normal menu provides lots of tasty and hard to choose options. This was our second visit and my only complaiint is why did we wait so long to return.
I had my rehearsal dinner here and it was absolutely amazing! Staff was so friendly, food was out of this world and the atmosphere was the best! Highly recommend them!
Excellent food and excellent service as always. A place where you will find the owners actually working and waiting on you. If you want good Italian food then this is the place for you.
Absolutley fantastic place. Hands down best restaurant in the NE , nobody is even close.
Hands down the best dining experience I’ve had in quite awhile. Service and food are absolutely amazing. You can’t find better Italian food anywhere in the city.
It was wonderful !! service , food everything will definitely be back n will recommend it to all my friends !!! Thank you for a very nice night !
Kobe meatball appetizer was to die for! Love the atmosphere but it was a little loud. The food is amazing but I do think you should get a salad with your dinner....everything is a la carte
Great atmosphere,food and cocktails. I highly recommend . Service was wonderful. Will definitely return.
Beautiful setting outside, set up for our party !! Lovely place, atmosphere was incredible , and the food was great ! Thank you !
Great restaurant. this is a class place but while having dinner tonight I was amazed at the three guys sitting at different tables wearing knit hat and baseball caps. next time when the three of you go to a classy restaurant try showing some class
Had lunch outside on the patio. Awesome place. Great burger. You need to try it.
Very cozy place, perfect place for a quiet romantic dinner, very welcoming manager, food was great, except Ricotta Gnocchi- something I wouldn’t go for the second time. It was a bit unpleasant at the end when a guy said we can’t not use the toilet because he had just cleaned it, and we had to wait until the second one gets free, it was still 1 hour before restaurant closing, something for manager to consider.. but we definitely will come back!
I never write reviews for restaurants, I never usually come across a place that actually makes me log into google and give my opinion on a restaurant until last night. I’ve been to Macaroni’s before and was amazed by look and taste of my meal; however I thought it was a fluke. So, last night my partner & I went again and had the same dish we had our first time there (see the photos) & it was NO FLUKE! The dishes were amazing, flavorful & filling. We even SWAPPED plates midway thru our meals to enjoy the opposite item. We could barely walk out. To the staff and chef’s at Macaroni’s… BRAVO! We will definitely be back soon!!!
I have been sleeping on Macaronis, I live about a 5 minute drive away, hadn't been since about 2015, and generally forget it's there as it's a tucked away little gem in the NE.
With a full service bar indoor and outdoor(heated for winter), an amazing menu of Italian food, pizza and an amazing Filet, this place is definitely worth checking out or becoming a regular.
For those who want some more info - went with my GF recently and we ordered
GF:
Caprese Salad - 5/5
Chicken Parm - 5/5 best we ever had
Creme Brulee 4/5
Me:
Beet salad(not the actual name I forget it now) - 4/5 only thing I didn't like was the dressing but I am not a wine fan, would order again with a different dressing
Filet Mignon - 5/5
Mashed potatoes - 5/5 best we ever had
Tiramisu - 5/5
Service was super quick and attentive.
Will definitely be coming back.
I had an amazing experience here! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, the staff was very friendly, a very nice atmosphere, I have no complaints, I will definitely return soon.
Very well prepared Italian fare. Lamb Chops were a table favorite and the seafood pasta was quite good as well. Our service was a bit slow but not terrible. Also, a bit of a strange location for the restaurant; parking can also be quite difficult.
Great wine selection and wide dessert menu. Really enjoyed my meal here despite the strange location.
I really love this place. Always modern dishes, everything tasty, fresh and clean. Nice staff.
We were there for a baptism so I base this on the food and service we received. First the service was outstanding. There was plenty of wait people to take care of us and they were by far the most receptive and attentive folks I have ever seen. They were right on top of everything. The food was fantastic the food just kept coming and was great from the antipasti to the main courses. This is a little far for us over an hour away but if we are ever in the area again Macaroni's will be a place we will go.
This place felt upscale when we entered. I was wearing jeans, straight from work, and I felt under-dressed. Maybe that's why we were seated close to the bar. Lol
1 appetizer, 1 alcoholic drink, 1 ginger ale, 2 meals came to 82 dollars, that includes a 20 percent tip. I would go back.
I love this restaurant. It has a modern ambience. The food looks, taste and smells very good. 5-✨🌟🤩🌟✨ quality restaurant .
What a beautiful and intimate place. Went because of a referral and they did not disappoint. Service was amazing and food was very delicious. They even helped me surprise my wife with a little detail i gave her for our anniversary. I highly recommend this place for any occasion. They also have a very cute outdoor area if that is what you are looking for. Would definitely go back for other occasions. Hope this and the pictures help you make the right decision :)
Beautiful gem in the heart of northeast Philadelphia, super easy to miss if you were driving past but you do not want to miss out on this one! Beautiful seating inside and the outdoor dining area feels like you're in downtown Philly without the drive. Service is prompt, efficient and courteous. Staff was knowledgeable about wine pairings and recommendations. Seasonal menu options and a core menu give plenty of variety. 10/10. If you're looking for a more private setting come around 4:00pm and you will be one of the few inside before the dinner rush.
One of the best Italian restaurant in Philadelphia . Hand made pastas amazing pizza . From the staff to the food to the atmosphere is as good as it gets .
Love the decor of this restaurant, it's contemporary and sleek but still cozy. The flavors of the food is creative and bursting with flavor. I recommend trying the sausage, spinach and beans and arancini made with butternut squash and nutmeg sauce .
My cavatelli had large fresh chunks of crab meat and plenty of delicious tomato sauce and basil.
A wonderfully classy-casual Italian restaurant, whose ambience and atmosphere communicate clearly that you're in for a gastronomic treat. Good menu, both food and drinks; when I say this was some of the best lamb I've eaten in years, I'm deadly serious. Must go back!
Busy on a Friday night. Recommend getting a reservation like we did. Enjoyed the calamari fritti and burrata special. Both were cooked perfectly. Calamari had a nice crisp and was well seasoned and not oily. Also ordered the rack of lamb with parsnip puree. Both were prepared quite well and full of flavor. Great that one doesn’t have to go downtown for a meal as good as this.
