Ariano: Discover Authentic Italian Cocktails & Pizza in Media, PA

Awesome all around! Loved everything we got. My fave was the rustichella on the lunch special menu with short rib and avocado. Great service and clean place inside, great vibes.

We got lucky, on a busy Friday night, no reservation, got a table for 3 in the separate room adjacent to the restaurant. Upon our seating we were warmly greeted by our server, Lia, who was an absolute doll and shared her favorite drinks, meals to help in our decision making. Each meal was absolutely delicious. Started with the calamari and it was devoured in five minutes. Our cosmos were just simply delicious. Next our entrees, wow, just wow. From the Bronzino to the Chicken Marsala and a pizza. Even understanding a dietary restriction and sharing ideas on making the pizza work. We all enjoyed every bite. And, all agreed, it was one of the BEST meals and impeccable service we've had at a Media dining establishment in recent years. We can't wait to return for another A+ experience!

Never had a bad meal here! It's outstanding. Service is excellent as is the food! Always hard deciding what to order. Everything is so delicious!

The food here was amazing. The rice balls were great tasting and just the right temperature. Service was ok, got sat in a corner like a step child when there was plenty of room available. The look and feel of the restaurant was great. Clean all around even in the bathroom. Would love to experience this place in the season when they open the balcony windows.

We only stopped in for drinks but the cocktail menu is extensive! We enjoyed everything we had and the service was quick. We sat at the bar. Will definitely be back to try some food.

Stopped in for an early dinner last night (Saturday). My friend was raving about them and they were able to accommodate us not having a reservation. It's such a charming place! I felt like I was on vacation! We sat upstairs in a window and it was the perfect day for that! The breeze coming in was wonderful! The food was delicious! We each started with a salad. I had the grilled caesar (they have Italian names for their dishes therefore I don't remember them), we split the risotto balls and I had the scallops over risotto. Everything was really good!! We were so stuffed when we left l, it was funny! I will definitely go back! Oh and my espresso martini was great too!

Really great pizza and cocktails!! I had the pharmacist which was really refreshing and I would highly recommend. We got a few salads and pizzas and I didn't get the chance to take pics of everything before my family dug in. Our server told us the pizza oven was imported and you could tell everything was really fresh and authentic! I picked the Melazzo pizza and everyone grabbed a slice right when he set it down so I missed my photo op :) but that tells you how good it looked!! I would definitely recommend that pizza!
