Trying All Three Michelin Recognized Cheesesteaks in Philly
Dec 20, 2025
Philly finally has Michelin recognized cheesesteaks, so I went out and tried all three to see how they actually compare.
Dalessandro’s: I ordered a cheesesteak with a mix of American cheese and sharp provolone on a seeded Italian hoagie roll. The roll is soft and traditional, the cheese is balanced, and the beef still comes through clearly. It’s a classic Philly cheesesteak without going overboard, though it could have used a little more seasoning and came off slightly bland. I gave Dalessandro’s an 8 out of 10.
Del Rossi’s: Del Rossi’s is very cheesy. They use Cooper Sharp, and the beef is heavily coated in cheese. The seeded roll is firmer and chewier, which helps hold everything together. The flavor is rich and intense, especially if you like a lot of cheese. I rated Del Rossi’s a 9.5 out of 10.
Angelo’s: Angelo’s uses Cooper Sharp on a seeded Italian hoagie roll from Sarcone’s, lightly toasted for structure. The cheese to meat ratio is dialed in, and the roll adds crunch without overpowering the filling. Everything feels balanced and intentional. Angelo’s earned a 10 out of 10.
