Highlly recommend this restaurant
Delicious food reasonavly priced. Good service. Along with an excellent menu and its already famous ice creams, the coffee is the best we've tasted in Philadelphia
I found the menu kinda confusing and hard to follow....the food is great but the portions are set up more like tapas.... smaller portions .....which is good if you want to try a little of this and a little bit of that.....not what I'm accoustomed to.....this wait staff is fast and friendly and willing to explain the menu and portions.....the food is good but the restaurant gets kinda loud....the dessert are excellent actually better that the food... sorry...but the gelato was fantastic and the chocolate mousse was even better..... good place but there is better in Philly
One of the best Italian restaurants in Philadelphia, in my opinion. I stopped by for a quick dinner at 4 pm on a Tuesday and got seated immediately. The interior is clean and modern looking. I don't really care about tables or interior designs much as I emphasize on food quality, but their tables have pockets on the sides to place purses, small jackets, phones, and misc. stuff in. That definitely solves the awkward "stuff your crap on this chair/side of the booth/on the floor".
I had the Fritto Misto appetizer, Linguine Al Granchio, and Gnocchio. Each and every dish tasted like real Italian food. I mean yeah, I've never been Italy and my Vietnamese household certainly don't make Italian food on the regular, but my taste buds don't lie when comparing to other Italian restaurants and having Italian dishes from Italian immigrant friends. Oh and they give you unlimited bread and such.
If you are someone that wants more meat on their pasta dish, I'd suggest Pappardelle al ragu Aquilano or Tagliatelle Alla Panna. Otherwise, ask your servers. They are more than happy to describe you dishes and give you recommendations based on what you want, especially if you're overwhelmed with the menu.
Whoever my server was (long hair, beard, brunette, male), you're awesome. Overall, totally recommend this restaurant.
