Welcome to Fellini Cafe Bryn Mawr

“ Great little Italian restaurant in Bryn Mawr. The decor, music, and ambiance adds to the mood and experience. The customer service is very good, they are very friendly and attentive. Our food took a little longer than expected and they brought us bruschetta on the house. The portion of the entree is filling and satisfying. ”

“ TL;DR — It’s a shame that this place is directly next to that Americanized italian place… the minimalist ambiance threw us off and we ultimately chose Fellini for its warmth. And thank god - every single moment was worth it. Quite literally the ONLY authentic Italian place on the main line/lower merion/delco area. I’m talking truly Italian where you’ll be addressed as senora, the owner is taking orders, and everything is resemblant of hole in the wall family places in the heart of Tuscany. The owner welcomed my family in and immediately offered a complimentary glass of wine. I’m not even a big red wine fan, but it was fantastic. Ordered: Arugula salad, homemade lasagna, the capellini alla fruitti mare, fettuccine alfredo, and the penne alla vodka. even though the alfredo and vodka are American dishes, they put in authentic Italian methods. It’s not just cheese or vodka sauce. It’s in the details. The owner immediately offered a complimentary appetizer, the bruschetta, along with what we ordered. We will definitely be ordering it next time. Everything came out in record time; I think I’ve waited longer for a cocktail at a bar. The owner communicated so clearly and promptly to us, including the kids, how long the food would be often. And honestly, it was maybe 10-15 minutes after the appetizer. So fast! My brother also spoke Italian so they conversed! To end it on a high note, he offered the adults a complimentary *homemade* coffee liqueur. Better than anything you’ve tried. And I’ve driven the length of Italy - it’s comparable! Do yourself a favor and get everything on the menu. Oh! And the prices? Fair and worth it. The bill made me want to hug him. Tip them well. ”

“ This is a great Italian restaurant! Real Italians making Real food w a Real atmosphere. Highly recommend and will visit again during our next Villanova trip. Thks and Merry Christmas! ”

“ This was my first time at Fellini's and I was there to celebrate my birthday. The atmosphere is inviting with a romantic ambiance. The food is authentic Italian food which reminds me of my cultural background. The food presentation was superb. The taste was delicious and cooked with just the right amount of spice, garlic and flavor. The shrimp melted in my mouth and the pasta was homemade which had the right texture and taste. They offer a delicious complementary glass of wine which was almost 6-9 oz and a complementary dessert drink. The head chef, Franco is personable, friendly and treats every customer like family. Pino the waiter was attentive and polite adding to the welcoming family feel. These place is definitely a must try and worth five stars! ”

“ Me and my partner came here on Friday night for dinner for the first time and it was AMAZING. The food was fantastic, authentic, and the server/owner was very accommodating, professional, and amiable. The service was very attentive and we were given a glass of complimentary wine with our meals. Both the red and white were fantastic and high quality. The atmosphere was unapologetically Italian, lots of vinery, wine displays, panettone and authentic pastas around the store as well as a gelato stand near the front. It was very cozy with warm lighting and lots of almost private tables where you can't see most of the restraunt. This is great for an intimate dinner or people with social anxiety. We were also given a complementary in-house made chocolate Kahlua liquor that was absolutely delicious, made by the owners grandfather. The prices were also very reasonable, after an appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 coffees and 2 deserts the bill came to $87 after tax. Ultimately we paid for the amazing service we received especially since we were ready and expected to pay much more before going, we had a great time. ”

“ Just had a delicious dinner here! Not only is the food delectable the service is incredible! We had a complementary glass of wine and a phenomenal homemade shot for dessert. The atmosphere is dreamy, with twinkle lights and great music. Most importantly, you get treated like your family because it is family run. Could not say more amazing things about this restaurant. ”

“ It was some of the best food I’ve had, but for a very good price! The whole place was so cute and it was calm to just sit and talk with friends. The server Pino (I believe he’s the only one besides the chef!) was the sweetest and was so fun to talk to. He apologized for any delay on our food, but it really didn’t take that long, plus it was fun to just chat with my friends while we waited. Would definitely recommend for a casual lunch or a nicer dinner, again the food was incredible! ”

“ We stopped in on Aug. 25, 2025 right as they were closing and Pino said sure no problem, come on in!! His service was excellent, and the food was delicious (sea bass for me and gnocchi’s for my buddy), finished off with his homemade Amoretto!! The atmosphere is really cool, but the food was even better. I highly recommend Fellini! ”
