Visit PhillyApril 2, 2012When Stallone was in town, this is where you'd find him—enjoying veal and Chianti. He would even call his wife in California so she could hear the singing wait staff.
- John GausMarch 1, 2017Delicious Italian food with the added treat of opera singing. Great restaurant for a special and memorable evening.
Come out and eat some great Italian comfort food while listening to live opera and musical theater selections sung by the staff...

"Wonderful food. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!"
Rich Simon 
"All apps comes with some kind of bread, rolls or loaf, so consider yourself warned about the carb load you’re in for. Veal meatballs are lovely, cavatelli is a hit, and pizzas have a nice, thin crust."
Sandra Rubinchik- 8.6
"One of the best pasta places in Philly. Get the Mugnaia and the Tazozelle as pastas, and don't even think about missing the burrata as the appetizer. Desserts are insane also, semifreddo especially."
