My girlfriend and I went to Robertos on Valentines day and it far exceeded our expectations. This was our first visit to Robertos although we have been to many other BYOBs in Center City.\r
\r
While we were at first surprised by the small space (you cant help but get into a conversation with your neighbors!), we adjusted and found it to be quaint. Have to say though, this is not the best place for personal conversations or shy people, as your conversations will likely be overheard by others!\r
\r
While it was nice to be waited on by one of the owners, that didnt prevent our meal from taking 55 minutes to arrive. However, after the long wait, we were extremely pleased with both meals! By far this was the best meal we have had at an Italian BYOB in Philadelphia!\r
\r
While this was our first time, we would definitely go back, particularly on a non-holiday when the kitchen is not so busy. We highly recommend Robertos Cafe!\r
Pros: Meals were great!
Cons: Kitchen got a bit backed up, but it was Valentines day on a Saturday.
