Popi's is a great value, easy to get to,has it's own parking, a huge plus in Phila, with great service staff. Food was excellent and could eat indoors or out. Will become regular repeat customers.

Pasta was overcooked and lacking flavor. Gazpacho was meh. Assumed we were sitting outside with plenty of empty tables inside. Felt like 'eat and get the hell out'. Won't go back.

We love Popi's! We love the food, the staff, the location (yay for your parking lot!) We've been coming for years and we'll keep on coming. You guys are my favorite Italian restaurant in Philly (I love Ralph's. but it's too crowded). I hope you will take the following criticism in the constructive spirit in which I intend it. Last night, one of my friends ordered gazpacho, but didn't get a spoon; I had the chicken parmigiana and there was no grated cheese, three of us had baked potatoes that came with no butter or anything else. There was no salt or pepper on the table. It was all small stuff, but that small stuff can make a difference. Again, this is not a complaint. Just friendly feedback from a long-time customer. Remain cool, Louis G.

The crab cakes are the very best! No other restaurant surpasses Popi's crab cakes. The clams casino and bruschetta were also excellent, as was the chilled gazpacho and heirloom tomato salad. All, in all, a fabulous experience.

Great place. We sat at the bar for like 10 mins before the bartender ever came over to is. He was too busy talking to his friend about the game. There was only 3 of us sitting at the bar BTW. He came over to us with a slight attitude and ask us what did we want to eat lol I said how about a drink first..he rolled his eyes and walked away after we gave him our drink order. I went to the hostess and ask for a table. I wasn't going to deal with this guy! Other than that the place is great!

First time back since before the pandemic. Popi’s remans “on-point.” Food was just as we remembered (Chicken Sicilian / Popi’s Salad / Shrimp LeJon / Fusilli & vegetables) - jammed packed restaurant with graduations, birthdays, and pre concert diners - but service and food were just as the old days, very good! We’ll be back!

Brought my Mom for the Mothers Day Brunch Buffet and the food, atmosphere and ambience were all amazing. The buffet had a wide variety of options to choose from with something for everyone and that everyone would enjoy. The staff were all very friendly and there is plenty of onsite parking with a big parking lot as well as street parking. There is alsonan outdoor seating option to enjoy especially on nice days. Definitely recommend and will go back.

Dinner and our server were excellent. The restaurant was very flexible and understanding about our reservation time. I called not once, not twice but three times to tell them we would be late since we were at a game and subsequently stuck in traffic. They couldn't have been nicer and accommodating once we arrived. We will definitely return.
