Saloon Restaurant Philadelphia Reviews
Unfortunately cannot recommend
The restaurant has a certain charm. The staff are attentive. The restaurant do provides free parking which is a benefit. But it is way overpriced. The price, quality, and quantity of the food do not align. I have dined all over the world- literally.
This is by far the best Italian restaurant in Philadelphia.
Try the ravioli in vodka sauce.
This is a great spot.
The ambiance was perfect, the waitress and two helpers were outstanding. Our waitress even did it in heels. While the food was cooked to perfection, they could've used a bit more seasoning. But overall 5/5 restaurant. We will be returning (We h
Food was delicious, server was attentive, ambiance was nice.
We were sat next to a large party that was screaming and a family with a young child that was running up and down the aisles and causing ruckus. Went to the bar after dinner and was shocked an espresso martini and Peroni beer would cost $32. The park
Located in a small neighborhood is this gem.
If you're not looking for the corner door you'll miss it. When you walk in you have a well stocked bar and a lower level dining room. Upstairs has the history amazing waitresses that take great care of you. The Martinis are filled to the
First time here so I was excited to try it.
2 valet lots on either side of the restaurant about a block apart so I took that option. Street parking was tough. Very cool old school ambience right away, I was greeted by the host as soon as I walked past the bar. Pretty crowded for a Tuesday nigh

I found this place out of the recommended steakhouses and Italian restaurants in Philly papers online. My boyfriend and I came here and ordered two appetizers to share which were amazing. The calamari is not crispy though, it's very doughy but s
The restaurant's interior, menu, food quality and waitress
The restaurant's interior, menu, food quality and waitress were great. Two suggestions: 1. Serve the food when ready. Don't let it sit on the serving tray until the waitress is free. Have another server help. 2. Lose the 70's/80'
one of the best restaurants in the city.
great service, great staff, amazing food. I've never had anything that didn't completely blow me away. also, it's high end without feeling stuffy or bourgeois. the Clams Pavarotti are unreal, as are ALL of the pasta dishes.

My husband and I had dinner there on 7/12/2025, I was disappointed. We had the clams casino appetizer which was made well, but it wasn't hot, just barely warm. Also, we had the mussels marinara which wasn't that good; mussels were very smal
Dined on 6/20/25.
Dinner was great and service was fantastic. I had the Ossobuco and would definitely order in again. My wife had the angle hair with crab and my daughter had the shrimp, muscle, and clams pasta dish. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was b

This was my first time at Saloon even though my fiancé's family have been multiple times before. I've heard great things from them and was excited to try it after wedding venue tours in Philly earlier in the day. Anyone who knows me understands ho
The last of the "dinner club" feel restaurants.
People are dressed for dinner. Staff are wonderful, great looking and attentive. The food is excellent and fairly priced. Drinks are excellent and priced below the typical rates of city venues. Free parking.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Saloon Restaurant on
We had a wonderful dinner at the Saloon Restaurant on Friday June 21! Excellent service and great atmosphere! Thank you! See you soon!
One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to.
Had clams casino and eggplant parm for appetizers. Penne vodka, New York strip, and bolognese were all great. The veal parm was the best ever had. All service was great. Nicky and Gregory in the parking lot were great guys.
Came in for a drink before resies at Dante's.
Barkeep was a gentleman right out of central casting with an excellent pour and even better conversation. We decided to ask if they could take us for dinner and they had a cancellation so yes! I'm going to go out on a limb here...we've lived in NYC

Great time had by all Pesto oil on the bread was delicious,Chicken Parm on the bone was amazing.Service was excellent
My wife & I came here the other night.
... Food was great, service was EVEN BETTER. My problem arose when I overheard the manager talking to his all-female staff like literal trash.... Calling them all types of names, not letting them respond without yelling over them. Totally outside the

Enjoyed the takeout experience of eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It's not the best I ever had but close, and better than most. No pasta is included but that makes sense given the quality. Old school Italian on somewhat narrow Philly street in
Not an exaggeration, best steak I've ever had.
The 11oz Truffle Filet was amazing. Ordered rare, it was perfect. Wife and I spent an anniversary dinner here. Service was very attentive, valet parking was appreciated, scallops were perfectly cooked. But that Truffle Filet.... It was so good. The
Probably the BEST ITALIAN food I've ever had.
Took my daughter when she came to visit and she immediately said this is the one place she would go back to. The Alfredo is buttery and melts in your mouth. The filet is divine! Can't say enough good things
Hadn't been here in 20 years! What a mistake.
Food, service and ambience were all top notch. Veal Chop Parmesan and Linguine Pescatore we're delicious

When I'm taken to an "Old School" Italian restaurant, anytime or anywhere, I have a smile on my face so large, you need a chisel to knock it off! That's how I felt last night walking into The Saloon Restaurant here in Philadelphia, near Cia

My girl and I went last night to the great and classy Saloon last night. I hung out with Freddie the bartender who made me a very smooth Aperitivo Campari spritz. We had a very late seating (9:15) but the place was still buzzing. Unfortunately, last

I've been trying to write this review for Saloon since I went a month ago, but I just haven't been able to. This has never happened to me before. I'm not sure why my writer's block has been so formidable, but I really haven't been able to pen anythin

Loved! Came here for a special occasion and it checked off all the boxes. The ambiance was cozy, romantic, and festive for the holiday season. The service was friendly and well-paced. And the food was delicious. To start, we got the tuna crudo and mu

One of the best Italian restaurants in Philly! Excellent homemade food! We started with a perfectly cooked eggplant with cheese. We died and went to heaven! The Veal parm was cooked so tender you can cut it with a fork. The service Exceptional! We ca
I have wanted to dine here for years.
We had dinner 5pm Tuesday 12.5.23 for my birthday. We managed to arrive early at 4:45 due to lack of traffic coming in. My phone said the restaurant was open so we tried the door but it was locked. No big deal I was tipping the Uber on my phone and f
Delicious
Old school South Philly Italian food. Every dish we tried was delicious. The pasta, the seafood, the meat were all cooked to perfection. Service was great. Loved the classic vibe.
As italian should be
After 40 days in spain, greece, and italy, I can assure all foodies this spot has them beat... do not doubt, and the service is old school delightful
Wonderful Dining Experience for First Time Visitors!
This is an amazing restaurant. First visit. Taken here by friends who have been before and are “locals.” Us, from out of town. Beautiful restaurant with interesting decor. Top notch staff. Great food, great service. Totally enjoyed our dini
Bad cocktails, amazing food
We love this place and typically the bartenders are on their game. Well this weekend the cocktails were so disappointing. They were too syrupy, thick, and sweet. It was as though they used cocktail mixers. Other than that the service was excellen
The food, ambiance, and service are consistently excellent.
However, the last time we were there the cocktails were incredibly disappointing. We ordered a variety of martini-like drinks, and they were syrupy and an odd color. It was as though they used cheap simple syrup, triple sec, rose's lime . In the
Appetizer sampler was perfect.
Cocktails were on point. Caesar was traditional, very good. Veal parm was ordered two ways: bone-in and boneless. Bone-in was better. The only glaring issue is how boring the pasta is. Like so many Italian restaurants they serve a small amount of ove

Great service, great meal, lively atmosphere would highly recommend. Only down side is they do not have the ingredients list for their desserts because they are not made in house. So for people with nut allergies definitely be a little cautious.

I was here once, about 25 years ago for a friends birthday.
It was so special so I knew I wanted to bring my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner this year. I was able to make a reservation a few days before our Friday night out. Our reservation was for 8:45. We got there around 8:30 and had a drink at t

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Saloon Restaurant Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Saloon Restaurant Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Saloon Restaurant Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Saloon Restaurant Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
