" I had a somewhat frustrating experience at Aldo Lamberti Trattoria recently. While I was looking forward to trying the pizza that everyone has been raving about, I found the service to be lacking. I waited quite a while before my order was taken, and when the food arrived, it was lukewarm at best. The pizza is definitely tasty, but I felt that the overall experience was marred by the slow and somewhat inattentive service. Maybe I caught them on an off day. I’d like to give it another go, as I know the food quality is supposed to be quite good. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful find! I stopped by Aldo Lamberti Trattoria during a long layover and decided to order their specialty: the vegetable and rice soup along with a salad. The ingredients were undeniably fresh and the soup had a comforting depth of flavor that hit just the right notes. The staff was attentive and even recommended additional tasty items. The casual setting was nice, and I enjoyed watching the bustling airport activity outside as I savored my meal. It's the little choices like these that make travel worthwhile; I will definitely return when I’m back through Philadelphia. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who frequently travels for work, I often find myself dining in airports, and I have to say that Aldo Lamberti Trattoria has consistently blown me away! The margherita pizza I had was fresh, with a perfect thin crust that was crispy yet soft. The ingredients tasted authentic, and the flavors reminded me of the amazing pizzerias in Italy. The environment was surprisingly laid-back for an airport, and the staff were extremely cordial, making my dining experience much more enjoyable than I anticipated. I've made it a point to eat here every time I pass through Philadelphia International Airport. I highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in the area. Don’t skip the cannoli if you can — it’s a delightful end to a fantastic meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" While waiting for my flight, I had a quick bite at Aldo Lamberti Trattoria and had a surprisingly delightful experience! I opted for the tuna wrap and a side of soup, which were both fresh and light. The crew was friendly and my food came out quickly. It’s not the kind of place where you’d linger over a meal, but for something quick and satisfying, I was impressed. I can't wait to return and try their pizza next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aldo Lamberti Trattoria is a game changer. The first time I visited I was blown away by the Italian authenticity I found in a place typically flooded with mediocre airport dining options. The caprese salad I ordered was seasoned to perfection with fresh mozzarella and ripe tomatoes. What absolutely brought it all together was a drizzle of balsamic glaze—delicious! The pizza, however, was nothing short of phenomenal — soft crust, rich sauce, and generous cheese. The friendly staff also made me feel like I was at my local restaurant rather than an airport eatery. In my opinion, this should be the benchmark for airport dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place given all the rave reviews, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The positive: the pizza was indeed delicious and had a genuine Italian flair—very authentic. However, the service felt a little rushed during peak hours, and I could tell that the staff were overwhelmed. I didn’t feel that my concerns about the portion sizes were adequately addressed, as the pizza slice I ordered was smaller than what I anticipated, especially for the price. On the other hand, the atmosphere was lively and friendly, which I enjoyed. I'd be willing to give it another shot during a less busy time to see if the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aldo Lamberti Trattoria is a breath of fresh air in the airport dining world! In a sea of overpriced and unappetizing options, this place stands out with its authentic Italian fare. I indulged in a delicious caprese panini and a slice of their delicious pizza. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, which is increasingly hard to find in airports. The prices were reasonable as well. All around this was a nice experience, especially considering the setting. I look forward to dining here again! " (*Curated Review*)
