We always know we can get a good quality meal at Lamberti's! I always try something different when we come and I'm always grateful I do! This time I got the gnocchi tres p. a fantastic Alfredo dish with peas and prosciutto. The kids usually get a pasta dish and are always happy. My friend got a shrimp dish and the shrimp were huge and flavored very nicely! Pizza bread is always fantastic :-) the service is always good! The one thing I should say isfor an Italian restaurant they could have a better wine selection to compliment the fine cuisine.

One star for the waitress giving it her best effort and a second for the delicious pizza bread at the start of the meal. Aside from that the rest of the meal was horrific. Apparently 5 raviolis in a really weak tomato sauce qualifies for a 16 $ dish. My antipasto salad came with a complementary heap of dry tuna from a can plopped right on top. Lastly my "pizza" was sitting on a plate in an oily soupy mess that made it soggy. On top of this issue, it was still tasteless as they used watery unseasoned tomatoes. Stay away from this place unless you know nothing about good Italian food. In that case, be my guest. Personally, I feel like I got robbed having to pay for this horrible dinner.

I feel like the only people who should eat here without fear of disappointment are those who pronounce "Italian" with a hard I. Those are people I openly mock, and would certainly never take food recommendations from. First, let's start with the ambiance, or lack thereof. This "Cucina" is located in a strip mall, and I'm pretty sure no good Italian food ever came out of a strip mall. The inside is all stucco and fake flower arrangements. The servers, while nice enough, were pretty slow. On a Wednesday night with only a handful of patrons, there was no reason it should be that way. I also ordered the chicken Maximo and was very underwhelmed. Any Italian knows pasta should be cooked al dente, however this was way overdone. I expect more from a self-proclaimed cucina. The chicken, while quite large, was bland. Everything about Lamberti's was subpar. This was definitely a one and done for me.

Great place to have a party. The price is extremely reasonable and the food is very good! We have a lot of events here!
What an awful experience! I went here with a friend for lunch and we both ordered plain old pasta with marinara sauce (something so easy for any Italian restaurant!). The food comes out (served by a rude waiter, might I add) and the experience went downhill from there. The pasta was overcooked, the sauce was watery and flavorless, and the portions were pathetic. We called over the waiter to describe our discomfort with the price versus what we received (as far as flavor and portion) and he essentially told us that it was our fault for coming in at lunch, as portions are smaller and the sauce is not as fresh as the sauce that is used for dinner. What an awful excuse! This place is an insult to Italian cuisine. Avoid at all costs and go to one of the MANY other quality Italian restaurants in the area.

This place is on par with Olive Garden. My bridal shower was held here and I also attended a baby shower here. They could do better than a salad with iceburg lettuce, but otherwise food is acceptable. As an Italian myself, this place falls into the 'pseudo italian' category for me. It's not authentic but it isn't bad food. Just don't expect La Stalla in Newtown - it's not anywhere close.

My wife and I tried Lamberty's a couple years ago after finding out it was run by the same owner as Positano Coast in Philly. The food at both is excellent. Lamberty's is more standard fare Italian but the quality is top notch and the large portions always require a doggy bag. Try the Gypsy pasta. You won't regret it. The ambience is more diner style but a fancier restaurant would also have higher prices. This restaurant is for a good meal in a casual atmosphere with the whole family. Even the kids!

Lamberti's has been a destination for my family and I for quite some time now. Compared to other restaurants, we've never had any issues with the food or service. One of my favorite parts of the meal is the bread they serve- deliciously filling rolls and pizza-style bread. Their chicken is delicious. Every now and then I order pizza from them. The waiters are friendly and know us by name. The dining area is a small, cozy informal setting with a bar to the side. There's a party room in the back for gatherings. Prices are reasonable. A lot of local residents dine here regularly, I've noticed, creating a cheerful atmosphere and typically filled restaurant.

The chicken tasted old. As if it was precooked days ahead of time and then thrown in a saute pan to heat. My husband's seafood smelled funny. We will not return.

I came here on Easter Sunday after the rush was gone. I waited for 10-15 minutes before a server named Gabe actually acknowledged we were there. The restaurant was practically empty so I assume the waited was just a bit lazy. On to the food.. I ordered the chicken Maximo which said it came in a white wine sauce on the menu. When it was delivered, it was in a red sauce which was misleading. My husband ordered one of the seafood specials on the menu which was good, but the price probably wasn't worth it. Some patrons at another table were complaining about their order not coming out the way it was described on the menu, so clearly, there is something wrong here. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The food was okay, but the service absolutely stunk.

The food is delicious, especially the focaccia bread. Their red sauce is good, not too salty or sweet. The service is wonderful, they are always kind and I've never had to wait long for food (I've been going here for 8+ years now). Yes, the decor isn't anything to be desired and it is in a strip mall, but the food is great, and that's all that matters in my book.

Really very sad chain really. The neon lights around the bar should be your neon signal to go elsewhere. Over-cooked is the best word to describe all the food here. The pasta, the chicken, the veggies all cooked to death. I only ate half my dish and left the rest in the restaurant. Also I am pretty sure it was supposed to come with pasta which it did not arrive with any. For the price in the area I would like much better quality.

Tonight we took a ride to one of our favorite Italian restaurants. We never leave disappointed and the streak continues. Wifie chose one of the dinner specials which was ravioli with chicken and asparagus. What we love about this place is that the chef will accommodate you any way that he can. Opting to have a vodka blush sauce instead of the marsala the plate arrived as requested and my lovely dinner partner thoroughly enjoyed it. I chose to go the old fashioned nothing fancy route and had the lasagna with a side of three scrumptious meat balls. A huge portion and delicious. They always start you off with a fresh salad or caesar if you choose. Also a plate of individual slices of tomato pie and oven fresh rolls. Our server was the more than kind Alyssa. Located in Feasterville at Bustleton Pike and Street Road.

We loved coming to (there are more than one) all the Lamberti's over the years. My best friend (of MANY years) and her late father loved it here so much that she had her (small, informal, hippy-filled) wedding here. The chicken marsala and salmon were excellent, and the family style penne marinara and spinach made it a great evening. The roasted peppers and mozzarella are sooooo good here. It is a very casual place - not what I would pick for a wedding - but maybe for a rehearsal dinner or shower.

Lambertis is in a small shopping center, The restaurant is small, with a bar and no lounge. The decor is simple and clean. The menu is very extensive offering a wide array of appetizers, soups, salads, pasta dishes and seafood, Pizza's of all kinds including gourmet. Chicken or veal entrees, panini's and homemade desserts! They make their own fresh Mozzarella and roast their own marinated peppers and this is a good choice for an appetizer or salad course. Their clams casino are good, mine are better and the fried zucchini is the best! My husband had the spaghetti with sausages, peppers and onions and he can not wait to go back, he especially loved their sauce. I had the shrimp parmesan, which had a good half dozen jumbo shrimp, which were perfectly cooked. I personally could use a bit more basil, oregano and seasonings in my sauce, but next time I will just ask. Save your money from going to Toscana's, this local Italian restaurant does not have all the glitz, but it certainly delivers on the food and service! I thought it was neat, how mid day they pushed a bunch of tables together and brought out huge bowls of salads, pastas and the best looking cheese steak hoagies I have seen, Then they all sat down together to eat! The entire staff and owners seemed to be Italian and once in awhile spoke their own language. You know it's going to be good, when it is in their blood! lambertis.com

My family often goes to Lamberti's as the neighborhood Italian restaurant. I hosted a baby shower there this weekend and was very pleased with the process and the results. Colleen, the restaurant manager, was most helpful with picking the menu, coordinating the serving of the food, and went out of her way to make sure the event went smoothly. The wait staff was very flexible and friendly. The private room was perfect for the activities, present opening, and eating that are part of any shower. The food was tasty, tailored to our needs, and a great value. When a guest arrived with her 7-year-old son, the waitress offered him choices from the children's menu. While I gave a count a few days ahead of time, they only charged be for the number of people who actually came to the party.

After a job interview in the area, we were starving and GPS'd restaurants in the area. We chose this one because it was close and we love Italian. It is a small restaurant with a bar, and it is in a shopping plaza. We've been here a few more time since. The decor isn't anything romantic or unique, but the food is so tasty! I fill up on the bread sticks every time, they're so garlicky and delicious. My last meal was the pasta primavera with fettucini. It had a great light sauce and the pasta was perfect. We ordered the chocolate lover's dream for dessert. It was a perfect ending. We will definitely be back. Service was attentive and friendly.

My family and I used to go to this restaurant all the time when i was growing. however, a few years ago we stopped going. Today my dad recommended we eat there as it is between my home and his. let's just say, I remembered why we stopped going there. This was the worst service ever! we waited about 10 minutes for the waiter to acknowledge us. we ordered waters. about 5 minutes later, we got our waters and placed our order. the meal comes with salads and bread. every restaurant i goto, gives us bread before we even order. 15 minutes later, we asked for our bread and salad. keep in mind, we saw people come in after us enjoying their salad and bread. The waiter does not come back until we get our meal 20 minutes later. i ordered capallini with pesto on the side. my dad got penne with marinara on the side. we both specified that we wanted our pasta dry.how long does it take to make that? The waiter comes with our meals. My pesto was on the side, but my pasta was not dry. it was drenched in olive oil. this was definitely not pesto. i couldn't taste any basil or pine nuts. it was all olive oil. also, the portion was equivilant to a side dish, not a main meal. at that time, we requested more bread. i admit i love their pizza bread. we never received it. we are seeing people getting unlimited breads and we were like where is ours. also, the waiter never once asked us if we wanted more water( we both finished ours). After we finish eating, the waiter finally comes back. i asked where is our bread. he was like " oh its an extra charge". did you assume, that we would not pay for it. give us the option! I asked since when does a restaurant charge for bread. This is not a 3 star Michilin restaurant. he leaves. comes back with our check. how do you know that we don't want dessert, coffee, or more water!!!! I goto the manager to complain. Manager said that he moniters everything. obviously you don't because you would notice that we were ignored and didnt get our meals or anything included with our meal! In a rude way, the owner was like we never comp or discount anyone's meal. it has never happened since i've been owner( and when my family stopped going). All we wanted was an apology for the bad service. Instead, the owner told me to write a review on yelp. I guess he will take any publicity. I will not be coming to this restaurant ever and will be encouraging people not too. If you want great food and amazing service- GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

Eh I had take-out from here one time and it was pretty good. Went in with the hubs and was not impressed. The place definitely needs updating, and we were both underwhelmed with our entree choices. The service was good, but it really wasn't that busy for a Friday night.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Food gets five stars! Best italian in the area. Best outside of center city/south Philly. T start, we got the clams casino. It was a party in my mouth, honest. Heck, my three year old daughter even had some! That's saying something. They give you a salad with their house Italian dressing on the side. It is extra creamy but not gross and sweet/sugary. Zesty and tasty. The bread and rolls they give are apparently good also, I don't know because they were all eaten before I had a chance, even the ones I got to take home. They have two types. One, the regular white roll, and second is a breadstick with cheese/tomato sauce on top. Entree wise I got the Romano which is basically a vodka sauce over your choice of pasta (my choice was penne). You can also add chicken or shrimp to your pasta and I chose to add chicken which can then be either grilled or sautéed. My SO got eggplant parm with angel hair pasta. Again, my three year old ate my pasta before I had a taste and devoured it way past what she normally eats. When I had some I finally understood why, it was quite possibly some of the best pasta sauce I had in a long while. I even got another order to go and bring home which was gone within an hour when my BIL came over. We have gone twice, both times the food was AMAZING, the only downside is the service. One time. The first time we had a waiter who was maybe mid 20s. First, he took drink orders. We asked for a water, Shirley temple, and a Pinot Grigio. H brought back the Shirley temple. Then disappeared. He wasn't at the bar because we were sitting in front of it and it was empty. Finally when he reappeared with our salads and we asked about the wine his response was "oh, you really wanted that?"... That basically describes the whole experience. Second time we had a waitress, late 20s-early 30s. She was fabulous. Water on the table without multiple requests. Everything fast, prompt, and professional.
