"Tre Scalini is a small Italian BYOB on East Passyunk that’s often overshadowed by the more popular places right around it, but it’s worth coming here for a date night or just a casual weeknight dinner with a few friends. It's especially true during the summer, when they set up a bunch of tables on the sidewalk out front. They go super fast on nice nights but, if you call ahead, you can sometimes get them to hold one for you. If not, it’s still usually not too bad of a wait, and you only have a few months to take advantage of eating outside anyways - so just suck it up and stare down the guy who’s nursing the last few sips of his glass of pinot grigio until he finally abandons his post." - Sydney McElwee

I Have bin coming here for 12 years a 40 minute ride from my house and it's worth it. Some of the best home made pasta I've ever had. the most tender veal and yummy eggplant. always great service and BYOB check it out you'll really love it.

Delicious and authetic Italian specialties and the appetizers are especially appealing. While the menu is not vast it is certainly varied. BYOB! I would not suggest bringing younger children as the meal is by no means rushed, which is quite unusual these days, plus it is quite pricey. A great spot for a special occasion. #authenticitalian

Great meal with a group of 10 at this local family owned and operated restaurant. The fish of the day was wonderful, light and flavorful. Only regret was that I did not allow them to select the entire menu and just surprise us. This is one of the rare restaurants where I would be happy if they only asked two questions 1) red or white? 2). Meat or fish? And leave everything else to the chef. Remember they are byob so vein your favorite Italian wine to compliment your meat or fish selection. Highly recommend.

Tre Scalini is filled with Old World Italian charm. The food is tantalizingly delicious! Lamb chops as appetizers absolutely incredible. They are still a byob, make sure you leave room for dessert...sigh I wish I had! The full Seafood dinner was exquisite, with clams, mussels, shrimps, scallops and fish.

A truly wonderful and delicious evening with friends. The black pasta with seafood is to die for. Our friends raved about the veal chop. Service from our waiter, Michael was top-notch. A few suggestion or criticisms should be noted: Parking in this area is a challenge. Also, the scallop dinner was very scimpy for $18 - $20 for four scallops and a small piece of broccoli. A side of pasta should be included. My daughter' s friend needed to supplement her meal from others in order to have a substantial portion. All in all a very nice meal!
