Great experience and food as usual. Love stopping here and recommend for anyone looking for really great food in a very unique restaurant. The food is excellent and the wait staff are all classical trained opera singers and approx every 20 min a different person sings an amazing song.

I looked at all the reviews from Google and TripAdvisor to get the best spot for my parents and I to go for dinner while on vacation in Philadelphia. The Victor Cafe was selected for good reviews and the Rocky connection. I knew about the Opera but didn't know that every server was an opera singer. It was really impressive because they would ring the bell and then a server would give a summary of the piece they were going to perform. Really impressive.
Okay, now about the food. You start off with bread, which was good, and a pesto dipping sauce. I then had the Victor Salad for an appetizer, which was fresh, and tasty. For an entrée I had the spaghetti rusticana, which had a meatballs and sausage over spaghetti with marinara sauce. I also had garlic mashed potatoes. For a dessert I had the cannoli, which was very good. My mother had the pork chop with the apricot brandy sauce, which was very sweet. It tasted good with the pork chop and on my potatoes. My dad had the eggplant rigatoni, which I had some of and was great.
Overall, for me, this is a must try, not just for the food but for the history and the experience.

Excellent Service, Great Atmosphere, Singing was Terrific. Food was Very Good, but over priced for what was served... must be the location and known name. A really fun time. Be sure to go upstairs for an after dinner cocktail. Unfortunately NO Photos or Videos.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere! We visited for dinner and had the best time. The servers are professional opera singers and they were a perfect compliment to the delicious food. The service was great and the restaurant truly felt like an authentic place. Highly recommend.

I wish I got to Philadelphia more often. It’s been 20 years since I’ve dined at The Victor Cafe. The food and staff are exceptional. If anything it might be better than I remember.
Walnut truffle ravioli and Pinot noir!!! To die for.
