    My husband and I had the best dinner experience, the food was delicious, cocktails were exquisite, and the wait staff singing opera was breathtaking. I love the ambiance of being in a south Philly home. The lounge upstairs was so cozy and cute. We will be back. I was obsessed with the broccoli rabe and definitely get the panna cotta

    When I think of classic Italian spots this is what I think of, family owned in south philly with the quintessential red and white plaid style table cloths. The food was very nice. The atmosphere abuzz with extraordinary opera performances from a very talented wait staff.

    My experience at The Victor Cafe was amazing. The opera singing was one of a kind and the food was delicious. The staff sang happy birthday to my father and it was very special because it was so unique. Our waited T was so nice and had great recommendations. I’ll be back in the new year!!

    Always enjoy The Victor Cafe. Last night was superb to celebrate our anniversary. Entrees: Spaghetti Rustica and the Caruso. Calamari appetizer. Dessert: tiramisu and pistachio torte. Four fantastic performances. Our server, Iris, was a delight and her performance which she dedicated to us was divine. Many thanks to The Victor!
