"We had an absolutely delicious NYE dinner at Hearth. The calamari and bao bun appetizers were innovative and yummy. The mushroom and fig and prosciutto pizzas were *so* good!! Devon, our food server, was professional and excellent. The restaurant was decorated for NYE and really the entire staff was Cracker Jack. We will definitely come again!"

"A positive review has been pending for a while. Me and my family visited this restaurant on 23-Jun-2025. After a tiring tour at Longwood gardens we all wanted to treat ourselves with good food. We decided to have a late lunch at HearthKitchen and the decision was absolutely right ! Have tried food at good restaurants both locally and internationally. But the taste of food here just stands out. Food was so fresh and tasty. We have ordered Burgers, beef steak, lamb chops, pasta, fried rice and pizza too !!! I cannot point out/highlight a single negative point about food. Especially when kids are happy you are happy too Such a great experience and would really recommend this place. Awesome customer service is one thing I would like to highlight. I would have given a 5 rating if it was not for the frequent power cut issue on that particular day and issue with credit card machine. I'm sure it's a once off issue and since then management would have taken actions to have an emergency/backup, power supply to deal with internet/credit card machine connectivity. Overall a great experience and yummy food...."

"We showed up as a party of 6 without a reservation. We had my two kids aged 8 and 10, and we had honestly intended to go next door (where the menu is slightly more geared to my picky eaters). Initially my younger child was worried--he isn't a pizza or a burger guy, and they don't have a formal kids menu. I ordered a pasta dish I thought he would like, the Agnolotti, and he ordered the 14oz pork chop. It is normally served with cherry peppers, but he doesn't like spicy so we ordered without. When I say that he demolished the porkchop I am talking he was gnawing the bones. It was "the best porkchop I've ever had" and "the only problem was that there wasn't two porkchops" and (in reference to the table next to ours "did they not finish their pork chop, because I will eat it". Needless to say, I ate my pasta myself. My older son had pepperoni pizza and is eating more of it today, it was both huge and delicious. My husband had a caesar salad and the bao buns. Bao buns were just ok (honestly, I don't know why he ordered them, this is not an Asian restaurant). Salad was great. I had the Main Squeeze NA cocktail which was delicious. Our party also had the spicy rigatoni (it was totally gone, so I think he enjoyed it) and the Philly pizza which was good, but she regretted not getting the mushroom upon seeing it at another table . All in all, this was a great visit. We hadn't been to Hearth in a while, but I work nearby and will be back in for lunch soon."

"Been to two Michelin starred restaurants in my life and the service here was on par with both. Drinks are a solid 9.5/10 overall with the presentation for some (Kennett Squared and I'll Picante) really brings a wow factor. Made-in-house pasta, delicious pizza, and unique shareables made it an amazing dining experience overall. Been here twice so far with more visits planned for the future. Recommendations would be garlic bread, south Philly pizza, and cacio e pepe, but the medi trio and pork chop are great too."
