Andiario: Reviews & Ratings
Beautiful restaurant. The best quality is the atmosphere, when you go out to dinner you don’t want to hear the other people next to you or hear screaming kids. The good food presentation was outstanding. Quality of every plate and servers were very attentive and friendly
Exquisite dining experience. Food, atmosphere, presentation, music, and service were all supreme. The pacing of the meal (over 2 hours) and attention to detail was perfect. The veal shank was rich, fatty and tender with incredible crispy skin. The chicken liver with black currant jam was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had, savory, salty and sweet. The Meringue cake was the icing on the cake. It’s even more impressive knowing they change the menu week to week. We will absolutely be coming back.
Not sure how you give Andiario anything but 5 stars. As another reviewer stated, the atmosphere is sublime: it is quaint but spacious and you cant hear the other tables which provides a superior and intimate experience. The food is top notch and the service is equally attentive but not overbearing. The fixed menu is a joy and honestly a welcome option in a world full of too many choices. Dropping in some pictures from our meal last night. The pasta was so simple yet the flavor profiles super complex how they caressed my palette. There is a reason Andiario is a top restaurant in Philly.
Of course our first indoor dining experience after popping our COVID bubble had to be Andiario, As always met and exceeded our expectations. Fresh local ingredients , detailed execution and just delicious. A "foodies" nirvana, not a cheap night out but worth every penny. Best carrots I ever have had and the pasta with squab was so flavorful.
The food and service here were both great; I think they do a great job at making the place upscale but not stuffy. My wife and I really enjoyed the menu we had. All the staff were super nice and answered all the questions we asked about the restaurant, and Maria very kindly talked with us about the farm and everything they are producing there right now, which was cool to hear about!
Have been lucky enough to eat here a handful of times this year. Always look forward to these dinners and have always left extremely satisfied. Such a well run operation where the service and food are both exceptional.
We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Andiario last night. The service was attentive without being doting, and the food was excellent. My wife and I loved every creative course, including the delicious pavlova. (And the awesome little shortbread cookies that came out with my espresso) Chef Andiario is a true craftsman in the kitchen and we feel fortunate to have such an excellent restaurant so close to home.
Updated February 8th 2023. Andinario is a thrill and a delight. The weekly pre set menu leaves us a bit nervous but excited. In the days leading up to our reservation we wonder....what's going to be served for dinner? We have no idea and we love every second of drama leading up to the table side reveal when our server presents the nights rundown. There are no decisions to make. Just the promise that a lot of thought, skill and creativity will make its way to your table and dazzle your taste buds. We have never been disappointed. Our most recent visit started with Tempura Fried Black Locust Flowers. Crispy, crunchy, salty, delicious. Meant to reve up your taste buds and it did. Next was Golden Tilefish Crudo with Sugarsnap peas, chili flakes and mint. Fresh delicate flavors that somehow work together with each ingredient shining thru. The Pasta Course was Ricotta Ravioli with asparagus and chive blossoms. The most tender melt in your mouth ravioli we've ever eaten. Chef Anthony is one talented pasta maker. Find his videos on YouTube. The Family Style Entre of Wood grilled chicken legs with habanada peppers and broccolini may have been the best chicken dinner I've ever eaten. Our server explained the legs were brined, steamed and grilled/smoked. The meat was smokey sweet and fall off the bone tender. The pan sauce was so delicious we needed more bread to get the last bites. Dessert is served. A Strawberry rhubarb tart with whipped cream. Tasted like spring. Service is cleverly orchestrated, warm, attentive and personal. Andiario is a culinary adventure right in West Chester. Reservations are required and basically sold out every night so plan accordingly. Arrive prepared to trust your chef and his talented staff. Enjoy the ride.
