Pennsylvania has plenty of Italian restaurants, but few win as much praise from locals as Affamato’s in Norristown. This is a totally unpretentious neighborhood joint that doesn’t do anything fancy, but executes every meal with attention to detail and recipes grabbed straight from an Italian grandmother’s cookbook. The food at Affamato’s is comforting and hearty, and the portion sizes are truly large. The pasta dishes win raves from regulars, with the spaghetti in vodka sauce a favorite. The hand-made meatballs are also spectacular, perfectly moist and savory. Pizza is good as well, with sizable pies topped with a flavorful sauce and a variety of toppings. Some combinations that win raves are the chicken Florentine and the cheesesteak pizza. Speaking of that, sandwich fans also have a lot to love here, with some patrons claiming the best cheesesteaks outside of Philly can be had here. Prices are fair and service is fast and friendly.
