Nate SMarch 21, 2021Wow, what an experience. Come here for a date night! Servers sing an opera aria every 20 minutes. All that plus the best tiramisu I’ve ever had.
Campbell BirdSeptember 14, 2016Love this place. Everything you've read about it probably makes it sound overly fancy. It's not. Just great food and awesome atmosphere.

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.- Christina DahlApril 12, 2021Delicious food and wonderful service! Loved the singing and entertainment
Come out and eat some great Italian comfort food while listening to live opera and musical theater selections sung by the staff...
