I drove 35 miles for this restaurant that used to be great before Covid. Sadly, the food was mediocre. Cheap ingredients, overcooked pasta, saltless frozen calamari, watery salad, tasteless tomato sauce, ultra-cheap canola oil sold for olive oil (!). We waited for 30 min for an appetizer and the staff even complained for being short handed. On the positive side, the waitress was polite and felt almost sorry for our poor dining experience. She’s not responsible for the owners’s shortcomings, of course. But despite the terrible food, the most egregious thing happened at the end when the owner came out of the kitchen basically yelling at us for being the only unsatisfied customers, who (according to her) had done nothing but complaining. We paid the bill, tipped the waitress 20% and left. We will never be back.

We used to love this place. My husband was born and raised in Italy, we go there every year to see his family. We wanted to spend our 10th year anniversary in a place we loved. Used to be long time customers. Quality went down substantially. 45 min to get appetizers. Waiters kept apologizing. Rice balls were microwaved. Calamari was frozen. Judy came out and said it was hard to hire people who wanted to work. What? Then dont take tables you cant handle- we had a reservation. My kids felt asleep waiting for their food. Rice balls were microwaved. Pasta had no salt and was over cooked. Not the experience we were used to and loved for the past 5+ years. Picture of chicken parmesan in soupy overcooked pasta. Sorry Gigi and Judy we wont be back. Waiters were very kind and kept apologizing.

The servers and managers were so friendly and helpful when we arrived. We were definitely a bit needy as a group and the waitress (Grace) was fantastic and did everything with a big smile! The food was very good, we were a group of 10 and everyone enjoyed. We will return.

I've eaten here a handful of times and every time I'm just as impressed. The food is amazing, very rich. All the apps are great but the artichokes, meatballs and suppli are particularly amazing. Love all the pasta entrees, veal, chicken ossobuco, seafood, of it's really great, and don't forget the homemade ricotta cheesecake!

Probably the worst restaurant experience of my life. Absolutely horrendous service. First of all the menus are made from printer paper stapled together. How cheap can you be? Our waitress took our orders and told us someone called out. Ok, no big deal, we might have to wait a few extra minutes, right? Well that was the last time we ever saw her. She was standing in front of a computer screen at the bar the rest of the night. We didn't get our drinks/bread/appetizer for 45 minutes, and that's only because we flagged the hostess down. Shorthanded or not, you don't leave people sitting there sipping water like idiots for 45 minutes. The hostess and another waitress had to bring us everything because our waitress forgot we existed. We didn't get our dinners for probably another 40 minutes after the appetizer. The staff was nice and kept apologizing saying it's not normally like this, but I see other complaints about their service on Google too.The food was decent, nothing special though. Also this isn't really their fault, but it was extremely noisy. We could barely have a conversation with eachother.
The manager came to our table and apologized for the terrible service but unbelievably still didn't offer a discount or coupon or anything like that.
We will not be back and I would recommend you avoid this place like the plague.

Pleasantly surprised after trying this restaurant last night. The servers were very friendly and attentive, and the fettuccini alfredo was absolutely delicious. Everything was delivered to our table in a timely manner, and the restaurant was clean. I would recommend trying this place out!

What used to be one of the best places in West Chester has significantly gone down hill. We sat at 6pm and didn’t see appetizers until 7pm. During this time no one came to check on us for more bread, water, etc. I had to personally go to the service area and fetch my own salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. Its upsetting to see as this place used to be one of my favorites.

Our first time eating here. Bernadette & I loved our selections.Soup was good. Wife had Shrimp & Veal Scampi. I had Lasagna. Everything was perfect. a REAL Italian restaurant. not a glorified pizza joint. almost in the heart of West Chester. Unlike most establishments in the borough, they have an off street parking lot...
We Will Return

Our friend recommended Core De Roma for dinner. He is a regular and told us we had to try it. What a wonderfully pleasant surprise.
We truly loved every item we ordered. Grilled Calamari was absolutely delicious (best I've ever had.). My husband had the veal chop which was very moist and tender. My chicken picante was pounded very thin and so delicious. Flavors in each course were extremely well done.
No doubt about it we'll be back.
Oh and the owners are super nice and friendly. See you next time Gigi.

We recently held a funeral luncheon at Core de Roma. It was my first time there and will hopefully not be my last! The food was outstanding, plentiful, and served beautifully and the staff was beyond accommodating. They helped make a difficult time for our family one of ease and relaxation. As an added bonus, they were WONDERFUL with my two kids:) Thank you!

Not our usual experience. Food was good, but thewaitress was just OK. Not very friendly. There were 4 of us. We ordered 2 desserts and waited forever. Finished our coffee and dessert still did not come. We told her to forget the dessert and bring the check. Not sure how tiramisu and canollis could take so long. We will try again!
Joan Grande
Food and Service very good. Great gathering place for our ladies night out.
