" Upon arriving at the airport, I was feeling a bit peckish and decided to grab a quick bite at Aldo Lamberti Trattoria based on the reviews. What a good decision that was! The eggplant garlic pizza I ordered was wonderfully seasoned and made with high-quality ingredients. I loved the atmosphere; it felt more homey compared to most places I’ve tried at airports. I appreciate the reasonably priced menu, which is unusual for places like this. I'd certainly recommend it to travelers looking for something above the average airport offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I found Aldo Lamberti Trattoria to have great food, the crowded and hectic atmosphere left much to be desired. The pizza was fantastic, just as everyone said — fresh ingredients and a nice crust. However, the pressure of the airport environment made it feel less welcoming. I barely found a seat to enjoy my meal without feeling rushed. I'd suggest taking the pizza to-go if you're in a hurry—I will most likely return, but I hope for a less busy experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I never thought I would have one of the best pizzas of my life at an airport, but Aldo Lamberti Trattoria proved me wrong! During a long layover, my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to a slice—one that I’ll remember for years to come. I went with the chicken parmesan pizza based on the recommendation from the staff, and wow! Each bite was bursting with flavor, from the zesty sauce to the perfectly cooked chicken and melted cheese. My partner opted for a plain cheese slice, which was also exceptional. The price was quite reasonable considering we were at the airport, and the service felt personal and enthusiastic. If you ever find yourself at Philadelphia International, make sure to allocate time for a meal here. You won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Aldo Lamberti Trattoria. The ambiance was inviting, and I found the menu to be reasonably priced for an airport. I opted for their breakfast panini, which was freshly made and absolutely delicious. The egg was fluffy, and the sausage had a nice kick to it, paired perfectly with the warm, crispy bread. Service was quick and attentive; the staff made sure my coffee was filled up. What really sold me was the fresh quality of the ingredients; you can definitely taste the difference! I appreciated the efforts made towards using local ingredients. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone traveling through PHI! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you need a pizza fix while at the airport, Aldo Lamberti Trattoria is the place to go! My friends and I were on a group trip and managed to squeeze in a lunch break here, and it was such a pleasant surprise how good the pizza was! Super cheesy, flavorful sauce, and perfect crust. I can say with certainty that if you are used to typical airport food — you'll feel like you're in a real pizzeria here. The prices did seem a tad inflated, but they were in line with what you’d expect at any airport. Highly recommended! " (*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*)
