    Tasty food on a fun street in Philly. Busy but small spot that is worth stopping into! Got a seat at the bar near the pizza oven with a friend and ordered some great items. Very beautifully designed restaurant and pretty lighting, and the bartender who was also our order-taker was very helpful and checked in with us often. Will come back soon!

    Great Italian food with on this double date. Our waiter Devon made us feel comfortable by walking us through the menu and the place. We order so much food and all the food that was eaten by us was well prepared and high quality. The octopus was no chewy, the gnocchi was like chewing on a cloud, and the dough for the pizza has the nice black spots on the bottom and a nice chew. The pizza is also not greasy and will not hurt your digestion system. All the dessert are to die for. Prunella is legit and you should check it out!!!

    We had a morning tour and we were walking back towards our hotel when we stopped in this bar restaurant specializing in Italian. We had a delicious Caesar salad. It was really unique and we also had a margarita pizza which was good waitress was very nice. You could hear yourself talk in there. It wasn't too crowded. A good place to stop for a late lunch.

    As my first review for the year, I was excited to try a new restaurant especially a place from the Schulson group, but it was just okay. The ambiance was nice with dimly lit interior, a romantic vibe at the bar and multiple outdoor seats with heat lamps. The service was timely and the service was attentive. As far as food goes, we started with the arancini appetizer and the short ribs. The arancini were not crispy enough with a crunch like I was looking for and they were a bit over peppered for my taste buds. The short ribs were perfectly cooked . For an entree, we went with the white claw which was fine, but nothing exciting and the crust was a bit too thin for what I was looking for. Drinks were good and the interior was cute, I would definitely return for happy hour and would consider returning to try the rest of the menu since I like their other restaurants.

    My friends wanted to meet up for dinner and suggested prunella. I will say I saw prunella online going viral for their spicy Caesar. My review on it is that it's a Caesar salad, not bad but not anything crazy. The whipped ricotta was our second appetizer that we ordered. It was very yummy with a good balance of sweet with the honey. I just prefer my ricotta on the side to dip the bread but it was overall very good. I also ended up ordering the rocket and rolled pizza. It was ok but I do find the choice to not have cheese very interesting. There also was more arugula more than anything so I was underwhelmed but I quite like the crust on the pizza. The service was quick and attentive. Jared was our server and he was very kind and made sure to make us aware of anything that he found necessary. Lastly the ambiance of the restaurant was good but I didn't love how small the inside was. The tables were too small for a group of four in my opinion and most of the food was crammed in addition to the drinks. I also felt smushed against the window a little bit due to how narrow the place was so maybe next time I'll come with just one other person.

    The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the shrimp scampi and the ricotta and the queen bee pizza. Would not recommend showing up without a reservation! We had a reservation and they still made us wait an extra ~10 minutes. They also rushed us out of the restaurant within 40 minutes of us being there, when we were still clearly eating with food on our plates. They came up to us and asked if we wanted dessert, we said no thanks and then immediately the waiter said "I'll bring the check", which I've never once experienced in my life at a restaurant given the short amount of time we were sat there for and the fact that they made us wait despite our reservation :(

    White Claw
    Maya B.

    Highly recommend everything I ate here! The spicy Caesar salad is a must. I also like it saucy and they had no problem bringing me out extra dressing. The white claw pizza was excellent. Wood fired pizza makes all the difference plus the drizzle of pesto on top! The cacio e pepe was flavorful and you could tell the pasta was fresh! Topped it off with a healthy scoop of gelato. With both indoor and outdoor seating and the doors open to let in fresh air, this is the perfect spot for a date or a friend's night. I have no complaints about this meal! Definitely make sure you make a reservation because otherwise on the weekend the wait was up to an hour. I'll be waiting for an opportunity to return!

    Saw Prunella on TikTok after searching for great brunch places in Philly. We walked in on a Friday afternoon with no reservation but were able to sit at the bar. For drinks we ordered Birds & Bees which was great and a basic Pinot Grigio. Both came almost immediately. For food we ordered the following: Meatballs: 9/10. Really strong flavors. Loved them! Spicy Caesar: 6/10. Everyone loves it but I thought it was just a normal ceasar salad with a slight kick. It didn't blow me away. Ricotta honey: 10/10. Delicious! Honey and ricotta are my two favorite things so this was a no brainer lol. Branzino: 9/10. My mom says it's one of the best she's had Cacio e Pepe: 8/10. The perfect al dente for me! Overall I had a good experience and would return. Next time I would like to try the happy hour because it was quite an expensive lunch

    The service was very professional and kind in every aspect - from the bartenders, host, and our waitress. The ambiance was even cuter than I was expecting so it was a pleasant surprise! All of us loved our pasta dishes and our whipped ricotta appetizer. The DRINKS were also amazing! My last shoutout is how happy I was with the prices!!

    I'd say this place has a really cool concept. It's like an Italian tapas style restaurant. Everything was aesthetically pleasing and the service was good. I thought the food was pretty good but not amazing. It's right downtown in a great location. Next time I would go for happy hour and not dinner

    Daily special pie
    Tori F.

    Finally got a reservation here, and when we arrived there happened to be 2 seats at the bar so we actually were able to move there and enjoy happy hour!! Great value for happy hour, with $11 pies including a daily special pie, $7 cocktails, and I believe $6 arancini and whipped ricotta. Everything was delicious, so fresh, and quick to arrive. The daily pizza was a white pie with pancetta, arugula, and apples and it was one of my favorite bites of the night. Definitely would come back for more happy hour bites!

    Short rib
    Al M.

    Popped in for lunch during resturant week and wasn't disappointed. The staff was super accommodating and the spot was small, but cozy...almost gave coffee shop vibes. Enjoyed the short rib, spicy Cesar and quite a few Hugo spritz's lol BUT the star of the show was the whipped ricotta. Cannot wait to try again!

    Whipped Ricotta
    Phylicia H.

    Came here yesterday with friends for happy hour and already can't wait to return! Happy hour is bar-only and gets packed fast, so plan ahead. We ordered the house white wine, daily pizza special, arancini, and whipped ricotta -- everything was absolutely delicious. The pizza was thin, flavorful, and had a perfect charred crust. The arancini was creamy and comforting, while the whipped ricotta with oregano and honey was seriously addicting. Great spot for happy hour -- I'm definitely coming back to try dinner next time!

I saw some nice appetizers and chose a sandwich as well. I started with the Artichoke Hummus with Feta and Grilled Focaccia - it was excellent! Large chunks of artichoke with the creamy hummus and little balls of feta were such a great combination. However, it was the Grilled Focaccia that brought the spread to its peak. Light and slightly crunchy it was so delicious with the hummus! Next up, the Pistachio Herbed Ricotta with Lavender Honey Bruschetta. I took my first bite started to chew and had to close my eyes as I was transported to a 'heavenly' taste. The pistachio with the creamy ricotta was amazing, and with the lavender honey, it was over the top. I told the server it could be a dessert as well! After two great appetizers, I was really looking forward to my 'main dish' - the Smoked Chicken Sandwich with Cabot Cheddar, fresh tomato and arugula, and a truffle herbed aioli (I opted out of the bacon). I took a bite and of this thick smoked chicken breast with a fabulous aioli dressing and was delighted it was every bit as delicious as the appetizers! The chicken was tender complimented by the cheese, tomato and arugula-but I had the dressing come on the side and found myself adding more and more, it was so good! What a gem in Center Cjty - it's a must try!

Sure, there has been the occasional hiccup here and there, but that's simply the reality of the service industry. What matters is that the overall experience has been consistently excellent, and over time I've come to know and appreciate many members of your team. My most recent visit, however, reminded me exactly why I keep coming back and fully reaffirmed my ongoing state of Barcelona Bliss. I recently made reservations for myself and a friend to celebrate his birthday. Wanting to guarantee a great evening, there was really only one choice: Barcelona. As an added bonus, I had attended UNCORKED and was fortunate enough to win an extra prize along with my free tapas button: a $100 credit toward a bottle of wine. From the moment we walked through the door, the evening was off to a great start. We were greeted by Elliot, my favorite person at Barcelona. I've always found him to be welcoming, attentive, personable, and genuinely funny. In fact, he was one of the original reasons we became regulars. When he first served us, he combined exceptional service with an engaging personality that made every visit feel special. As always, he was on top of everything and even made a point of wishing my friend a happy birthday. I could spend pages describing the food, service, and atmosphere, but I'll spare you my rambling. Suffice it to say, the evening was exceptional. Every member of the team seemed committed to making sure we had a memorable experience. Whether it was the thoughtful suggestion to combine our table with another when our growing collection of tapas and wine began to outgrow the available real estate, the delightful sommelier, a funny and attentive blonde woman whose name I unfortunately can't remember, who guided us to the perfect bottle, or our server, who never missed a beat and seemed to anticipate every need before we could ask, every member of the team contributed to making the evening truly special. The 2024 Gessamí was an inspired recommendation and undoubtedly one of the highlights of the night. Fragrant and beautifully balanced, with notes of jasmine, citrus, and ripe stone fruit, it was vibrant, refreshing, and paired wonderfully with our seemingly endless parade of tapas. The entire experience was lovely, fun, memorable, and genuinely impressive. While I unfortunately can't remember the names of either the sommelier or our server, that is in no way a reflection of their service. If anything, it simply highlights the shortcomings of my memory. Their attentiveness, professionalism, warmth, and contributions to the evening certainly did not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated. This visit reminded me exactly why Barcelona has become such a favorite destination. Time and again, you deliver the perfect combination of outstanding food, exceptional wine, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both exciting and comfortable at the same time. While Barcelona Wine Bar is certainly a great name, in my mind it will always be known as my Barcelona Bliss.
