Classic homemade Italian. So good! The chef and manager are so friendly and might bring out something special! The prosciutto is thin and the stuffed pepper is great. All the pastas are amazing.

The second oldest BYOB in Philadelphia has all of the classic Italian fare that you would expect, and a few specials you might not. A very underrated spot that's as small as a closet and casually eleg Read more

This is one of my favorite Italian places anywhere. I used to come here 10 years ago and it hasn't changed. The chicken with asiago cheese, the gnocchi, and paglia and fieno are to die for.

Very disappointed with our dinner tonight. Prawns weren't fresh, nor we're the gnocchi. The salads were fine, nothing to write home about mind. Tiny, cramped and ridiculously loud. Not going again.

I have no idea what the food is like, because they would not let us sit down as we had backpacks. Extremely rude guy who would not reveal his name.
