Reviews for The Couch Tomato Café & Bistro, Manayunk in Philadelphia, PA

Amazing GF pizza! The godfather and Florentine are my personal favorites. I do not recommend the gf garlic knots. However the... coconut shrimp is divine, we had to get a second order when we finished them. Also, do not miss the tomato soup. It is a wellloved recipe that never disappoints Read more

We stopped in spur of the moment and were quickly seated. Ice water was brought to our table, and within minutes our server... returned to take our order. The service was excellent; our waters were refilled quickly, the food was brought out hot, and eachperson we interacted with was very personable, perceptive, and quick. I ordered the Southwest Beyond burger, and it wasdelicious! I have no criticisms; it was juicy and hot, there were just the right amount of condiments, and the bread wasfantastic. The french fries were done perfectly, and we couldn’t get enough. Rudi got the personal signature Margherita andloved it as much as I loved my burger. So we were both very full and very happy with our decisions. We were also pleased withthe price, especially for the quality. We will definitely be back. Read more

Amazing food!! Personal pizzas are amazing their fries are soooo good. Can’t wait to go back!

When we first sat down, the employee who sat us down (Ben) brought us two tiny mugs full of tomato bisque. These mugs are... complimentary to all guests. The soup was incredible! It was so good we ordered another bowl for my partner and I to share. Wealso ordered a Cesar salad, an order of buffalo wings, and a personal sized margarita pizza. The salad was large and extremelytasty. The buffalo wings were also excellent and had a sweet, tangy, and unique flavor. Both the salad and wings were“different” in their flavors, but in a good way. The pizza however was not good, which is ironically what we came there for.We have tried tons of different style of pizza (Chicago, New York, Neapolitan, etc.) and this was nothing like any of those. Iwas expecting a Neapolitan/wood fire taste since that’s what it looked like in photos, but the taste was not at all like that.The bottom of the pizza reminded me of a bagel and sauce/ tomato flavor was very off. It was watery and too sweet, which issurprising given that the tomato soup they serve is perfection. Looking back, I think it is possible all the pizzas are glutenfree and that is part of why it tasted so strange to me. If I return in the future I will probably order a grilled cheese to gowith the tomato soup instead. Despite not liking the pizza much, I still can’t help but give the place five stars based onthe service. Our server Marcus was lovely. He was very kind, friendly, and patient. It was also a nice and quiet atmospheredespite all the tables being full. The restaurant also had great outdoor seating. Staff did not wear masks, but they did have avery clear hand sanitizer station when you entered and the restaurant felt very clean. I would love to come back the next timewe visit Philly. Read more

Omg this place is such a gem! The Food is AMAZING!!! My first time going and it did not disappoint!!! The gluten free options... were many. I had the GF garlic cheesy bread and cheese pizza. By far the best ever!! The creamy tomato soup was also delicious!! Read more

pretty aight food. Was super excited to try this place, but I left feeling apathetic with a tinge of disappointment. The food... just felt anemic in terms of its flavor. Not bad just strikingly average. However, with a price tag of $15 for a burger andfries, I expect more than just average, you know? I got the black bean burger and sweet potato fries and the build your ownpizza with shiitakes, caramelized onions, and peppers on pistachio pesto. Read more

Heard about this place from a friend & it turned out even BETTER than I expected! The chipotle chicken chowder soup is to die... for!!! My bf & I came here Saturday night for our anniversary because we heard such good things from a few different people. Weloved it so much we came back Sunday to get lunch to go. The grilled cheese isn’t like anything I’ve ever had before. It wasAMAZING! You have to try it!! I’ll definitely be coming back! Weather I drive 35 min for take out, or dining in, I can’twait to have another meal here. Btw- the staff is exceptionally great! Everyone is incredibly kind, cool and helpful. You cantell the owners/managers really care about this place, because they seem like a family there. Thanks for such a greatexperience:) Read more

Great food! Great place! Friendly accommodating staff. ???? You can simply get seated and order on the phone with their online... menu code on each table. We got bunch of customised pizzas and burgers. The pizza was fresh and tasty. The burger was good too!Came with sweet potato fries! Overall would definitely go back for this amazing service and meal. Prices are pretty reasonableas well. My personal fav is the chipotle based pizza with grilled chicken and peppers/jalapeño. Mojitos and Margaritas werefresh and quantity was okay. Definitely worth every penny spent???????? Read more
