My first time at The Victor Cafe and it was so nice. We went on a Wednesday night with an early dinner reservation. We had cocktails upstairs and I was in awe of the place. Beautifully decorated with a vintage setting and pictures everywhere. My margarita was perfect and so was my husband’s cocktail. Renee was our server and she was so courteous and knowledgeable and I have to say has an incredible singing voice. We had dinner downstairs which consisted of clams casino, a beet salad, a chicken dinner and a pork chop dinner. We were given a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. Truly a memorable dinner and I look forward to a return visit.

Wow, Wow, Wow!
First time at The Victor Cafe. Walked in and we were immediately seated at our stated reservation time. A table for two in a great location.
Our server asked us if we had ever been to the Victor Cafe and neither of us had ever been there. She then explained that all of the employees are classically trained singers and that periodically throughout the evening they would perform. I would say that every 20-30 minutes they performed a song from an opera. It was amazing … so amazing!
At the same time, there was food. We split arincini and a beet salad before our main course, and both were delicious. For my entree, I selected one of the specials for the night, Veal Parmigiana, and my partner chose Fruti di Marni. It was a lot of food. My veal was wonderful, and my partners Fruti di Marni was more seafood than pasta.
The Victor Cafe is one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I have had … I absolutely loved it!!!

Family bday dinner exceeded expectations. Was very impressed with the performances by the wait staff, alongside the tasty food and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend Victor Café for a one-of-a-kind dining experience

We were visiting Philly and wanted to experience the whole Rocky experience. I surprised my hubby with a reservation here with some friends for a birthday celebration. We heard opera periodically throughout our dinner & ended with an opera happy birthday seranade. The food was really delicious & both SAD diet visitors & multiple dietary restrictions people can have a good time together here. I was able to eat gluten free and vegan: mushroom risotto, broccoli rabe, and vegan chocolate ice cream for dessert. So a delicious complete meal. The hubby got eggplant rollentini that he enjoyed. Our friends got the veal that they both enjoyed. We also went to the bathroom upstairs where we saw the Rocky pictures & the Adrian’s sign that they called the restaurant in the movie. Our friends said the upstairs is open for drinks at the bar on weekends.

This amazing little hidden jewel made my day for my second visit. The atmosphere is truly exceptional, small rooms with beautiful artefacts and artist pictures, a cozy bar with comfortable seating and last, the fabulous performances of the servers, bartender and busboy will transport you thanks to their passion to sing! I am a musician and I had tears in my eyes each time they took the floor to share an aria with the patrons, suddenly quiet and transported in a different world, opera or jazzy song. What a show. So much passion and humility, I will return again and again. Bravo guys, keep singing and serving good food! Vive la vie et l’amour de la musique !

My friend booked this restaurant and he said it was really good but didn’t tell me to be ready for such an amazing dinner we had. Staffs were very nice, in special Yanellie. The staffs sing every 30 minutes and that was the cherry of the ice cream . The food was delicious and the creamy polenta. I super recommend this place.

Cozy, elegant atmosphere with fantastic service. Not only is the wait staff really good at table service – they are opera singers too! Every 20-30 minutes, another song is introduced and sung. Extensive wine list. Tasty food. Great cocktails. Very entertaining!
