Filippo's Ristorante

In Short – Mismatched plates and handmade flowered tablecloths are accented by faux finish walls, exposed ductwork and Euro-pop music. The menu choices begin with salata ignorante, brimming with dressed artichoke hearts, tomatoes, cucumber, basil, black olives and fresh mozzarella. Risotto fratta is rosy with tomato and finished with goat cheese, bits of ham, peas and asparagus. Pollo pizzaiola is a chicken breast in a sauce of fresh oregano, garlic and tomato. – –

Know Before You Go:: Street parking is relatively easy to find in this neighborhood. Or try Bally's Total Fitness lot across the street, with whom the restaurant has an unwritten agreement.

bad service, good food

by giuseppe garoboldi at Citysearch

reservations seem to be meaningless, were seated almost an hour after ours. Food is good, although pasta dishes were skimpy on sauce. Pork tenderloin special was rather bland. Did a good job with the grilled seafood appetizer (if you like octopus and calamari)

What an authentic Regional Italian experience. The chief is from Naples and his food is to die for. Their daily specials are always great and the everday menu is so good-I love their staff. They make dining fun

GOOD LORD THIS IS SOME GOOD ITALIAN

by chitowngrl at Citysearch

Had I not gone to this business for work I probably would have never tried it and that my friends would have been a HUGE mistake. I have been here 3x times now and every time the food gets better and better. I usually have the raviolis and They have a fantastic dipping sauce that goes with the freshest bread ever. The service can be slow sometimes but its worth it. I highly recommend trying this place.

Pros: the dipping sauce for the bread
Cons: service can be slow

Very Good Italian Restaurant; romantic atmosphere, Traditional Dishes prepared with Care

by mrjustice at Citysearch

Eaten here twice and impressed on both occasions. Entrees are traditional, but obviously prepared with care, and anything but ordinary. Place is warmly to provide a real "Italian" atmosphere. Upon arrival, you are immediately greeted by a complimentary 'appetizer' of marinated eggplant together with foccacio bread. On the menu, Muscles appetizer was fresh and tasty with white wine sauce. For main entrees, the LaSagna was one of the best I've had with flavorful filling including a very rich cheese and eggplant. The Spaghetti with cherry plum tomato sauce, topped with large shrimp, scallops and muscles is also recommended. Service is consistently attentive and friendly.

Pros: Nicely Decorated and romantic; Rich and tasty traditional Italian Entrees;
Cons: Should ban childen under age 10 -- Some inconsiderate diners brought their screaming infants
