Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 4–11 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Cry Baby Pasta at (267) 534-3076; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, crybabypasta.com.

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Philadelphia is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Cry Baby has been a reliable stalwart for a few years now. If you’re a pasta snob you’ll be impressed - everything is prepared exactly the right way, the owners having spent time in Italy learning the craft properly. My young child orders plain buttered noodles every time, my wife and I have tasted them and agree they’re the best damn buttered noodles we’ve ever had! The service is always very friendly and attentive. The interior is cozy and hip, and the outdoor seating area is pleasant, situated as it is on a nice corner in Queen Village.

This places is a hidden gem! Very relaxed atmosphere, down to earth hospitality. Kid friendly. I couldn't help but noticed how clean this restaurant was! No dust or cobwebs anywhere so I complimented the manager on duty! Our waitress Janine was so nice and attentive to our every need even when we didn't realize we needed something! We will definitely be coming back whenever we're back in town!

We came by here on a Thursday night with my friends and had A BLAST! If I'm being very honest, the appetizer and the desserts were what blew me away. The pasta was pretty good but I wouldn't say it was awe inspiring. The appetizers and dessert though? Simple and delicious and I'm still thinking about that butterscotch budino (which I did order without knowing what it was, it just sounded so good and I was right!!) But what really got me was the service - shout-out to Jon our server!!! He made excellent suggestions and helped save us when we accidentally messed up the decorative light on our table after we blinded ourselves a couple times trying to fix it! All the other staff were also so friendly and nice, and overall we felt so attended to it was lovely!! I would love to come back and try some of the simpler pastas to see how they compare, especially eyeing that cacio e pepe for next time

Cry Baby's food and portion sizes were so good that we devoured everything on our plates. It was a first for us dining at an Italian restaurant. We ordered mainly from the daily specials and every dish was delicious. Our server Jen was great at explaining the dishes, and even added a candle to our dessert for our birthday celebration.The restaurant has a friendly, casual vibe with art all around and rock music playing in the background. We sampled their calamari, pasta with veggies, rigatoni and a yummy caramel tiramisu dessert. There is some outdoor as well as indoor seating, but I'd recommend making a reservation especially for a weekend visit.

Incredible customer service at this cute pasta spot in queen village. We made reservations and had dinner on a Friday night by. There were a decent amount of open tables so reservations may not have been necessary. Our cocktails were very good, high quality!! I got the olive one (too sweet but I don’t like vermouth) and fiance got the mezcal one (which was INCREDIBLE). Apps- Caesar salad was well done, real anchovy. Meatballs were small and to me kind of bland. Sauce was good though. I got the rigatoni. When it came out, the pasta was too chewy.. not even al dente, more than that, just felt undercooked. I told the waiter and the manager helped us. They were extremely kind and understanding!!! They immediately refired my meal, and the pasta was much better after that. Unfortunately the chicken was overcooked because of that but it was much better. Fiancé got the risotto which he loved. They gave us a free dessert!!! They were SO nice and still made my experience very enjoyable. The cannolis were fresh and delicious! Maybe a bit too much chocolate sauce. If I come back it would be for cocktails and desserts!!!
