When our doors first opened in 2006, our goal was simple: serve the community with the same hospitality and flavor you’d expect from family. Nearly two decades later, that mission hasn’t changed. Every morning at 5AM, our crew is in the kitchen, prepping and cooking so that by the time you walk through our doors, you’re greeted with fresh food, a warm smile, and service that feels personal.
Our cheesesteaks have earned us recognition — voted Best Cheesesteaks 2010–2023 — but what we’re most proud of are the relationships we’ve built along the way. From longtime regulars who have become like family, to first-time guests discovering us for the very first time, everyone is welcome at Gaetano’s.
As part of the larger Gaetano’s family of restaurants, we take pride in carrying forward a tradition of bold flavors, community spirit, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Because at the end of the day, Gaetano’s isn’t just a restaurant. It’s where South Philly meets South Jersey — and where everyone has a seat at the table.
