It certainly lived up to its reputation. In service, atmosphere and MEATBALLS. Soft and velvety, draped in an excellent red sauce with a side scoop of ricotta that my wife melted over. She also ordered the broccoli rabe and simply sighed with each bite. It was a magical visit that we will definitely repeat every time we're back in Philly.
Second time going here and it was just as great as the first. The reviews speak for themselves this is one of the best restaurants in the town. They boast about their history and rightfully so. Great food, drinks, and service. Had the chicken parm and Veal Napolitano, and it's hard to choose which is better. Authentic Italian experience at its finest
This oldest Italian restaurant in the country has served people like Teddy Roosevelt, Joe Biden, Frank Sinatra, Danny DeVito, Taylor Swift and many many others.
I had the chicken rollatini which was very good. I prefer this dish because the chicken is sliced thinner. However, the chicken was not rolled. I asked our waiter about this and he said they use very thick chicken which can’t be rolled.
This is my fourth time here and I highly recommend this restaurant. And the bread is from Sarcone’s bakery next door.
