Looking for something different close your eyes for the novi.The employees looked miserable.When i asked who the owner was they shook their head and said nothing.Food run of the mill.Not worth the trip.Sorry

Wonderful place. It is the best kept secret in Mayfair. I have eater there for both lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed.
NOVI IS THE WORST! I went for a pizza and some nice jazz music on a Friday night. The music was good, the food was just ok, the service was the worst I've experienced in years. From the time we sat down the waitstaff completely ignored us.... it was close to impossible to even get a glass of water...
My husband and I have been to Emma's several times. We cannot say enough about the great food, friendly atmosphere and amazing owner Eddie. We have also brought our children there and they couldnt be more accommodating. Our favorite place to dine in the northeast. If you do go, please make sure you ...
Emma's is the hidden gem of Northeast Philly. The owner/chef was formerly the chef at the very upscale Monte Carlo Living Room on South Street. The food at Emma's is outstanding, and it is probably the only place in Philadelphia where you can get Bronzino fish (and have it prepared at your table si...
The food is excellent! Service was nice too! I felt really at home! The complimentary cello after dinner is a great ending to a fine dining experience! I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone who enjoys authentc italian meals!
From the moment I walked into this restaurant I was greeted instantaniously with friendly faces. The calamari was just cripsy the way I like it and the filet was the best I've ever had! The soup was delicious and homemade! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone! I can't wait to book my next...
Been going here for about 4 yrs now & even had a shower thrown here. I can't tell you enough how much I REALLY enjoy this place. It's a quaint little place with very friendly staff; even the owner Adriano is as friendly as can be. I'd say it's on the lines of Macaroni's on Old Bustleton Ave but no...
Excellent food at good price.Great staff great atmosphere. My wife and I will definitely return. Rick from philly

Terrible. Do not waste your time or money.
Adriano's has excellent food and is a great place to dine. I love the bruschetta, gnocchi, penne vodka, calamari, etc. It doesn't get much more authentic than this place, and Adriano is very friendly and runs a fabulous restaurant. LOVE LOVE LOVE Adriano's!!
Great food and a great staff! My family and I have had several parties there and we have never been disappointed. The penne vodka is the best, delicious calamari and extensive wine list... Try it once and you'll keep going back week after week!
The food and service were great. This is a BYOB restaurant. Very nice and we will return
excellent food, and great staff. very attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely return, with friends!!!
good food, good service, attentive staff... casual dining at reasonable prices for a very nice experience.
Very good food and service without noisy TV screens and wailing kids. A really good, limited Italian menu. Reminds me of Milan or Venice. Northern Italian Cuisine, not a spaghetti parlor. I highly recommend it and will go back again and again.
Very disapointed with the quality of food and service. Visited restauant over Labor Day Weekend.
Food was delicious! I had the gnocchi and they were fantastic. The waiter said they were homemade an dyou could taste it!!!! Highly reccomended
