Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Havertown

Core de Roma has been our favorite Italian restaurant in the Philadelphia area since we discovered their original location in West Chester 8 years ago. We were sad when they had to close their West Chester location! Now that they’re in Belmont Hills they’re a little harder to get to but SO worth the trip. Gigi and Judy run a fantastic restaurant that feels like a family visit to Rome every time we go! The value and the authenticity can’t be beat. Gigi’s recipes are authentic Roman Italian recipes the way Italian food was meant to be enjoyed. Judy makes most of the desserts herself and they’re absolutely worth saving room for! HIGHLY recommended. Try the suppli, the penne vodka, the core de Roma salad and don’t skip on Judy’s cannolis! Go and discover this hidden gem!

Got there early and (miraculously) found three seats at the bar. Ordered HH snacks at a great value. The truffle fries were delish and the meatballs came with a generous topping of a ricotta mixture over the sauce. We were seated for our dinner in the area that has been recently closed in (formerly a patio bar and dining area). Our server, Judy, was patient and attentive and wonderful. We had a great reunion, catching up on old times over good food. I asked for my salmon atop my salad to be blackened and they did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

The food and cocktails were soo delicious! I went during their Valentine day special, and I must say that the crab cakes, and salmon dish was by far the best! I would definitely recommend going back again.

Noor our waitress was terrific! A bartender walked off the job and they were short handed and she was calm and efficient and friendly.

Made a reservation for the Eagles parade and the manager/servers went above and beyond to make sure we got our table on time. We loved the food, atmosphere and drinks!
