Favorite Sicilian restaurant in Philadelphia!!! We even did our rehearsal dinner here last year. The menu rotates but I've never had anything bad. Reservations should be made for the weekends unless you come for an early brunch. The Sicilian fries are a staple and a must try. My wife or I almost always order the gnocchi no matter what it is. Also their new charcuterie boards are a great start, delicious and generous on the portions compared to most other philly restaurants offering something similar. You must try this place!
If your struggling to decide they do a tasting menu for $45 pp
Amazing! All the flavors are delightful and the service is friendly and attentive. BYOB and cash only - so come prepared!
So I forgot about Monsu. I'm a big Peter McAndrews fan, and loved everything from Modo Mio to La Porta. But I left South Philly and just didn't think to come to Monsu with all the new places in Philly.
My mistake. If you are tired of the same brunch variants of eggs Benedict, a couple egg sandwich variants, and maybe a steak and egg take...this is where you need to go. Lumache (snails) in mushroom demi, rigatoni carbonara with a friend egg, and plenty more options that you won't find elsewhere. Without the crowd, and with a fantastic wait staff.
I won't be forgetting again soon.
