Nitty's Tavern - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A great place for both food and drinks. Down at the stadiums so our daughter could go to a concert and this place knocked it out of the park. Great service, drinks and food. All were top notch. read more

Nittys is a cozy bar and restaurant with a nice variety of food choices. Everything is delicious. My favorites are their eggplant caprese salad, their roast pork sandwich and their gnocchi. I like dessert and their have several. Nittys is located in south Philadelphia where there are so many good places to eat. The one reason I keep returning is their great staff. Michelle is the best bartender/waitress!!! Her bubbly personality keeps me returning. I also enjoy being seved by Eddie the waiter. A likeable staff along with tasty food makes this place worth going back to over and over. read more

Food was delicious!!! We absolutely loved everything we ate. Chopped salad, cheese curds and fried ravioli were soooo yummy to start. We loved the chicken parm, roast pork brocc rabe and eggplant rolantini. So convenient to stadiums with easy parking!! read more

Nitty's is a great spot with good people and good vibes! It was described to me as your mom's at-home cooking, and I'd say it lived up to the hype. We ordered the eggplant caprese grilled, instead of fried. It was phenomenal. SO flavorful and a generous portion. We split the white pizza with grilled chicken for our entree and it was huge. We took plenty of leftovers home! Everything that came out of the kitchen looked extremely good, so it truly does feel like a place where you can't go wrong no matter what you order. The bartender was also great! He was quick and helpful with the menu - just a good guy. If you're in south Philly, check our Nitty's! read more

The food was good & there was a wide selection of drinks and beer. We made a reservation for 12 but when we got there, 2 of our party had to sit at the bar while the rest of us squished around the high top next to the bar. It would have been preferable to sit together but we made do. I had the salmon BLT (minus the bacon) & the housemade chips. It was really good. I would recommend this place. I know a table of 12 can be difficult to accommodate so it doesn't affect my rating. This is a cash-only business. Definitely not preferable. There was no veggie burger substitution option & very limited vegetarian items on the menu. read more

Colette- is awesome, I immediately felt welcomed!!! Food- is delicious!!! Atmosphere- is an eye catcher!! read more

we went on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Looking for a place with a draft beer and some sandwiches. The Calabrese pizza looked awesome in a sheet pan so we ordered it. Very satisfying! Had sea oil and seasoning on the crust which made it tasty and a break from the sauce and cheese with slices of eggplant and ricotta on top. Great tasting sauce.: this along with a couple shock, top wheat beers was a perfect match. Everybody seemed happy to be there as were we and we will be back. read more

A great local restaurant with great food and amazing specials , the staff is alway provides great service and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming read more

Great place for lunch for burgers, sandwiches, and even fries. Big portions for good prices. Loved how they gave me the pork juice with my sandwich. read more

Awesome food, the ceasar dressing is one of the best I've ever had. Christian behind the bar is super friendly. Awesome experience. **cash only. read more

Nitty's Tavern - Chicken ceasar salad - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Folks, I really try (and fail) not to give out a lot of 5 star reviews. You've got to give an experience that couldn't be surpassed. Nitty's nailed it on my lunch experience. Ordered the Ghost Burger, I'm a fire eater, no bread (on Keto), and this was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Literally, a top 20 and I have had the best beef, fish, pork and lamb the country has to offer. I can't decipher what gave so much umami to this burger, and it certainly wasn't off the charts spicy/hot. It was just perfectly balanced and incredibly savory. Service: Wonderful, welcoming, attentive, and, well, easy on the eyes. Can't wait to return again. What could be improved? Nothing. Grand Slam, folks!!! Don't change a thing!!! read more

Best spot south of Porter in South South Philly. Food is delicious, staff is excellent. Bonus: The bartenders actually know how to make real cocktails. Def a go to for delicious eats and good vibes. read more

These Thursday night football seafood devours come all the way from the South Philly, Italian favorite @nittys__tavern . This establishment was once known as Tankies back in the day, and now it's under new ownership under the name of Nitty's. Upon my arrival they have both indoor and outdoor dining. They have a bar with a nice spacious area for tables. A very clean bathroom. They also have a DJ on Thursday and Friday nights. While here, my waiter was very polite and welcoming. He knew the menu like the back of his hand. I order the mussels (my favorite) with the red gravy. The sauce was super flavorful and it was literally god enough by its self lol swear! The mussels were super fresh and the grilled bread was absolutely amazing!!! Ugggh it was the best part!!! Overall, I really enjoyed myself and i enjoyed watching the game while eating some good eats! If you ever find yourself wanting a bomb place to dine out n watch football or hang with some friends! Go check out @nittys__tavern and tell'em Shimmy sent you! #seafood #mussels #water #lemon #football #thrusdaynight #solo #date #night #foodporn #food #foodphotography #food #foodblogger #philadelphia #philly #shimmyeats #south #italian read more

Ate here the other day for the first time in a while. The food is so yummy, pizza was DYNAMITE and service was awesome.

If I could give more stars - I would. The food is incredible, the drinks are stiff as hell just like I like them and the women bartenders are always hot lol. And the atmosphere there is always great, need I say more? read more

Food has been really good the 3 times we've been over the last 2 mos, but the service needs improvement with paying attention to needing refills (which also boosts the check as they're a bit pricy given the location), ticket times with food (apps should not come out with or after the entrees), etc. Bussers were more attentive than the wait staff which I couldn't attribute to being as busy as much as they were into their phones and socializing. The kitchen keeps us coming back though. read more

the bloody mary was very very good. But every beer was about an inch and a 1/4 short of a full pour and service was slow. Also, didn't know it was cash only read more

We had a great dinner at Nitty's yesterday. We arrived a little before 5pm, so some of the specials hadn't started yet as they start at 5pm. Our server was very friendly and attentive and kept drinks filled. The manager was friendly and got the Philiies game on for us on the tv in the outside seating area. The waitress gave good recommendations. I had gnocchi, which are homemade and are some of the best I have had. Large pieces, very pillowy and light. Great Caesar salad as well. My wife had salmon which was obviously fresh and it came with excellent wilted spinach in garlic and oil. Very reasonable prices for what one gets, great atmosphere, and we will be back. The place is spotless, also. read more

Went on a Friday night place was jumping. Ordered the ghost burger was very good great fries. Would like to mention service was good even thou placed was crowded. We will go back try again on a slower night. Service is much improved over tankies the previous owner. Keep up the good work ! read more

Do not come here for a business meal! The food is OK, but not worth it. They DO NOT take cash. They will not tell you they don't take cash until the bill comes. You can say " we've never been here, do you have a recommendation" before you order and still they won't tell you it's cash only. There is no sign on the door and after we were told, we saw the tiny print at the bottom of the menu, that said cash only. When you don't have cash, they'll tell you there is an ATM inside the restaurant. Does the ATM connect to the internet to give you money....wellllllllll after waiting for 5 minutes, the answer is no! Instead you get a connectivity error. Save your time and money, plenty of other places in the area to spend it! read more

I've tried this place several times now and each time I was disappointed. How do you ruin something like chicken parm? And who sprinkles salt on top of a Caesar salad? It looks nice in there but I would never recommend someone consume their food. read more

We love Nitty's we live right across the street and the food and drinks are amazing, the service is awesome. It's great to have a place like this in our neighborhood. read more

Make sure you ask for prices on the specials..Last night we spent $100 with tip for a well-done filet ordered medium for $32 and a plate of clams and mac which was decent but not $28 decent. I didnt even get bread with the plate lol...You don't get what you pay for here, though the food was decent. I'd eat here again if they stop gouging people on beers and food. read more

This is by no means a bad review. I think you guys have some REAL potential here. However, my first visit wasn't necessarily one to write home about. Very nice people and a good menu! The atmosphere is just a bit awkward. I walked in today with no music playing, and it was just like strange quiet ambiance. The servers were very nice but a bit hesitant to converse and connect with the tables. The menu is a BIT overpriced as well. Like I said, this is NOT A BAD REVIEW! Just a couple kinks you guys need to workout. read more

overpriced junk food and mediocre (at best) service. they also have an "outdoor" space with no tables or waitstaff available that takes up the entire sidewalk. be careful if you decide to park on Moyamensing, you have to walk in the middle of the street and dodge traffic since their faux outdoor space leaves no room to walk safely on the sidewalk. I even seen a lady pushing a stroller have to walk in the middle of the street. should have decided at that moment that these people were no good. they won't last long. read more
