“Fantastic service! Slipped in on a cold Saturday night in January. Server/chef allowed us to choose from the menu in a non-traditional way. We liked 3 apps and 1 entree. Wine recommendation was also perfect. Can't wait to go back!”
“Holy moly, this is a true hidden gem. The food was outstanding. A great menu and even better execution. I didn’t take pictures of everything but they wouldn’t do the food justice anyway. The pork chop was one of the best I’ve ever had. If you like pork chops like me you know that a juicy, tender, flavorful pork chop is the holy grail and this chef pulled it off. Everything we had was excellent. I’ll admit, I don’t like pumpkin but I tried my wife’s pumpkin risotto and I may be a convert. It’s amazing what a perfectly cooked pumpkin risotto can do. I can’t wait to come back to Philly and eat here again. Drinks were also great and the bartender was a seasoned pro. Service all around was easy going and servers were just really nice people. Run! Don’t know walk…”
“Hidden neighborhood gem! Missed the happy hour $2 oysters (4-6p) but went for them anyway and it was soooo worth it. Oysters were very good, clean and tasty. Drink was tasty - a spritz with nice top shelf liquor … ricotta toast and carne crudo…beautiful presentation. Italian classic dishes. Burrata was sooo fresh. Spaghetti limon is perfect with the exact amount of lemon and butter. All pastas can be served in appetizer or entree size. I got the smaller one and it was enough for me but it tasted so good I wished I had gotten the entree. A modern space and has a great vibe. Server was very nice and knowledgeable. Street parking is best on 22nd street. Plenty of Indoor seating and some outdoor seating. Pricing very reasonable.”
“Went for restaurant week and had items off of the special menu. Everything on the menu looked great. Everybody in our group enjoyed their food as well as desert. Drinks were also good and unique. Want to go back to try some of the items of the regular menu.”
“Excellent service with a few hit and miss dishes. Shout out to the front of house, everyone was kind, informative, and attentive. All was as it should be. The atmosphere was above average, album et slightly on the darker side, and lights were flickering near our table. I was a fan of the rigatoni, thought it was cooked perfectly and actually like the larger size. The sauce was alright. I’m a fan of beets so def had to get the beet salad which was. The lemon flavored pasta dishes, tried two different one was a little monotone. Shrimp scampi was top notch, excellent sauce. Broccolini was wow. Both deserts was above bar. A few other pasta dishes, the pasta was excellent to the bite but fillings and toppings were underwhelming. Overall, a solid Italian restaurant that can def take it up a notch.”
