Absolutely Loved the place. This place gives you old school Italian restaurant vibe. Prior reservation will help you avoid the long wait.All the waiters and waitresses are super talented and will sing opera while patrons are enjoying their fabulous dinners. All the pasta specials were phenomenal, as well as the cocktails. Parking could be a problem in this area unless you are lucky to find one of the meter parking. Would highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly unique south Philly experience. Food. Service Quantity Price.
Had a great time here for our anniversary dinner. Service was a bit slow, but our server was excellent and they were very busy. Loved hearing the very talented staff sing opera! The crab ravioli with saffron cream sauce was phenomenal.
Great food. Great atmosphere. Incredible singing during your meal. Has an old school Italian restaurant vibe. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed.
We had one of the best dining experiences of our lives tonight while visiting family in Philadephia. Where do we start? The waitress named MARISSA was incredibly charming and delightful and made us feel so special and welcome. Long with that MARISSA is so talented and as with other waiters and waitresses there will sing opera while patrons are enjoying their fabulous dinners. MARISSA sang a song from the musical The Music Man, entitled "Till It Was You” and capped the night off. Treat yourself to a dinner at The Victor Cafe and enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and float on the enchanting operatic songs. There were 5 sung just during our dinner. Unique and wonderful. A very special night with family. David and Martha
First time here and surely won’t be the last. Surprised my girlfriend who loved it as well. The service, food, and singing were all fantastic. The staff was passionate not only about the history of the establishment but about the food as well. Truly ‘south Philly portions’ that you can appreciate. We got the pasta with scallops and shrimp delicious and pork chop with mashed potatoes again, spectacular - juicy and perfectly cooked over a sauce that I’m going to have to try and replicate at home. Also the mussels in the spicy option. Absolutely delicious. The bread we also got was perfect to soak it all up too! Would highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly unique south Philly experience. Also the drinks were fantastic! Got a whisky cocktail that was very well prepared and strong. Went on a Friday night WITH a reservation, which was helpful especially since we wanted to sit inside. Credit cards are accepted!
The food was excellent, the waitress Joylyn was attentive and pleasant as well. Her voice was amazing! I did not know that they sang every half hour. Defintely would stop by when I am back in town.
Had dinner here and it did not disappoint!! All the pasta specials were phenomenal, as well as the cocktails! The love opera is also awesome and makes this a great date spot.
Good was delicious! The opera singers fantastic our waiter; Branton was amazing! We arrive there at 5:50 pm and we were going to a concert at 7 pm. He was on point with everything so we could make it on time, very nice and polite. We loved the whole experience! Highly recommend!
The experience, food and drinks were phenomenal. Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner! De’Saun was a wonderful server and went above and beyond for our party. Will definitely come back every time I’m in town, and it’s no wonder they’ve kept the reputation & reviews they have after nearly 100 years!
Food was good. Excellent staff. Amazing atmosphere. The opera singing is something different and I loved it. I was there for a work dinner and will be bringing my wife back.
