“ Wow, massively impressed! Ordered delivery and it was here in less than 30 minutes (live a mile and half away; disabled). Got the flounder francaise topped with crabmeat, which came with mashed red potatoes, green beans,, side salad and bread. Besides being delicious, a steal at 20.95 (was enough for 2 meals for me)! New, but will be a repeat customer! Highly recommend! Yum! ”
“ Really good neighborhood style, cozy mom and pop, BYOB Italian restaurant. Everything that I've ever had has always been very good, especially the different soups and chicken and/or veal parmesan. Chicken marsala is excellent also. Mini cannoli for dessert is a perfect size. Service is friendly and the bread, butter and roasted peppers that come with the meal is just plain delicious. ”
“ What a great meal at a friendly neighborhood restaurant! In South Philly for work and I was looking for a spot to have lunch. Johnnies is a corner home converted into an Italian restaurant. Parking can be a bit tough so bring your patience with you. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away. There are only a handful of tables so timing will be important. The menu is fairly typical for an Italian restaurant. I tried the stuffed shells with sausage and it was fabulous! The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the food. I would eat here again, in fact if I lived in the neighborhood I would eat here once a week! They don't serve cocktails but you can BYOB. ”
“ We were in South Philly doing a delivery and searched for Italian food nearby. Most places were upscale. We were just getting off work and wanted something more comfortable. This place is amazing. Food is delicious and cooked to perfection. The staff are super friendly, nice, professional and amazing. I would definitely recommend this for anyone nearby. ”
