La Sera Italiana BYOB

The food was truly amazing, one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The fries were seasoned well, and the chicken sandwich was also amazing. The lemonade was very refreshing and a good balance between sweet and tart. The cheesecake was rhe perfect about of sweet and you could taste the richness. And on top of the amazing food the staff was very nice and the music was very pleasant. I would really recommend this place for lunch.

BYOB!! Nice bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal Had the caprese salad and a ceaser salad Both of us tried the Branzino; which is Pan-seared, asparagus, capers, cherry tomatoes, lemon white wine. Delicious! Smaller venue & does get crowded quickly, in the summer they have outdoor seating on the sidewalk. Pictured below is how they package to-go orders. Bruschetta, Caprese salad, Branzino, and Penne Vodka ($7.95 to add crab, as you may be able to tell from the picture NOT MUCH CRAB for the price) sautéed spinach and Tuscan Salmon -very nice sized fillet and seasoned nicely.

On Fridays, my bf and I like to grab an early bird dinner at La Sera. It never disappoints. We love this place.

Perfect food! A true taste of Italy. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the seasoning was excellent, and everything was served hot and fresh. The dessert was delicious too. Highly recommend this place!

The food is really not good! I don't understand any of these glowing reviews. We ordered the ravioli which was grainy and chunky inside, the gnocchi was super soft and both of the sauces tasted bad. The truffle fries were soggy and even the bread was not good. I really wanted to like this place because I live nearby but definitely will not be coming back.

Great new neighborhood Italian restaurant! I loved the special pasta of the day- squid ink with seafood. Absolutely delicious, with generous portions!

As a visitor to Philadelphia it's hard to avoid the big name restaurants when all I wanted was...a place like this! And I'm so glad I found it. It's a small, local italian restaurant, but it just delivers on everything you need it to. Nice people, good food, unpretentious but taking pride in what it does and doing it well. You'll come out of here pleasantly fed in a relaxed and enjoyable space where you're surrounded by local customers who also know they're onto a good thing and wish they could keep it to themselves. Sorry to spoil that a little, but share this good space with strangers to the city like me. We need it too! Oh and bring your own bottle if you want one. It's in the name.

We were truly impressed by the friendly and attentive service. The location is fantastic, and with outdoor seating in the summer, it feels like you’ve been transported to a charming dinner in Italy. The food is outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. It’s a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommended!
