    Bread
    Hayden D.

    Stopped in for their Wednesday $50 dinner deal and it was fantastic. The food portions were amazing and the food was even better. The sangrias were delicious. The restaurant was beautiful on the inside and outside. The server was so sweet and nice and was excellent overall. I highly recommend stopping in here.

    Cute little italian place around the corner from our hotel. Ambiance was great with nice low lighting and exposed stone on the walls. Felt very rustic. Service and food were excellent.

    Came here on a double date for an early dinner. The space had an old world charm with exposed brick walls, nice lighting, and pops of red. We were seated immediately and given complimentary soft bread with fancy butter and a medley of vegetables. The bread was nice and fresh. The vegetables consisted of squash, peppers, as well as eggplant, which was cooked well and the combination was very tasty. For my meal, I ordered the Special of Stuffed Pork Chop with Gorgonzola and spinach. This came with sides of mashed potatoes and veggies. This was plated beautifully, with the Pork Chop looking impressive with perfect char marks. The Pork Chop was wonderfully tender, well seasoned, and oozed with the rich, creamy, flavorful Gorgonzola. I'm not a huge fan of spinach, so that part was just okay. Veggies were grilled zucchini, squash, and peppers. Mashed potato was fluffy, but was quite bland. Service was pretty good. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. All the food came out in a timely manner and we had a lovely time here.

    Gnocchi con Asparagi

    Went here for Easter lunch with my family and it was incredible! I've been here a few times but decided to get the gnocchi with asparagus which I never had. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy and the sauce was so creamy. Got the chocolate mousse cake to go and it was so rich snd moist. Also generous portion sizes which I appreciate.

    I really liked Spasso. The restaurant itself is huge - multiple rooms of dining. Even though we had a reservation on Valentine's Day they still had plenty of tables. Free bread was delicious. We got a bottle of wine to share which was also good. We got the eggplant rollotini- 2 pieces and not huge, but flavorful and silky. We got the salmon pasta and shrimp fradiavolo. Both were flavorful and came with a good amount of salmon/shrimp. The noodles were large and chewy - delicious. We also split 2 desserts - a special brûlée cheese which was so unique and delicious, and a tarfutto, which was interesting.

    Came here for my brother's graduation dinner last night. Every Wednesday, they have a special that includes an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, plus a complimentary bottle of wine for every two people, for only $45 each- which is an amazing deal, especially for all the food you get! We walked in at 6 and were greeted warmly, the hostess quickly bringing us to the back room to seat us. It's a very homey and quiet atmosphere. We came at the perfect time, because it wasn't too crowded- when we left, though, it was much more busy. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Again, I felt like I was being welcomed in to somebody's home. We were given complimentary bread, alongside stewed vegetables to top it with, butter, and olive oil. The butter was high-quality and delicious, and so were the stewed vegetables. To start off my meal, I opted for the mussels with red sauce- it's something I'd been craving, and it was everything I wanted! It came out steaming hot, and even though it was a lot of food, I ate all of them. For my entree, I ended up getting the shrimp linguine- the linguine seemed to me like it was made in-house, and it had a delicious creamy pesto sauce to accompany it. Since it was so much food, I ended up taking half of my entree back home. Four out of our party of 6 ended up getting the crème brûlée for dessert, which was perfectly light with that classic and satisfying crisp on the top. It wasn't too sweet or heavy, so it was the perfect way to end a delicious meal.

    Tons of options to choose from on the menu! Probably the best Italian place I've been to in Philly so far. The restaurant is lively yet still cozy, perfect for dinner with a larger group.

    My partner and I visited the Old City establishment on Wednesday dinner service for a date night after seeing they offer a limited-time $45, three-course menu. We were able to select any appetizer, entrée, and dessert; and a bottle of house wine comes complementary for parties of two. This was a very filling dinner that came at one of the best value meals I've had in the city. (I noticed some past reviews indicating it was no longer present; it appears to be seasonal, but as of winter 2025 it is still available.) We were served bread upon seating, which came with a vegetable relish and dip that made for a great opener. The meatballs and grilled calamari were both great starters; I thought the portion sizes were excellent. I was surprised to find the New York Strip Steak was included without a surcharge, as it was both delicious and the best value. My partner enjoyed her pasta as well, and we swapped bites from both of our dishes. I think my steak could've trimmed the gristle a touch more, but it was extremely filling and we both had leftovers. Our waiter also was friendly and helped suggest options, as the menu has a fair share of pastas, meats, and traditional Italian fare. The staff was attentive and I felt our service was strong. We also promptly got our to-go boxes and was able to take home the wine that was left in our bottle, which was a plus! Dessert was also included, and both the crème brûlée and tiramisu were decadent. Our total cost was under $100 (pre-tip), and it was one of the more filling meals I've had worth every penny! There's also bar seating for its Happy Hour, which I'd be looking forward to trying for a revisit.

    We started in the bar, as it's huge and it was lively and friendly. Our service was great, the food was delicious, and you can tell why people have been coming here for ages. We Ubered over because we thought parking might be a problem and from what I heard people discussing at the bar, it is, so keep that in mind! Reservations are easy to get and can be done online. I will let my pictures do the talking...

    If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Philadelphia, this is the place to go! The atmosphere is so inviting--it truly felt like we had just stepped off the streets of an Italian neighborhood into a local gem. Our waiter was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and so helpful when we couldn't decide (because honestly, everything on the menu looked amazing). We started with the goat cheese and walnut salad, which was out of this world. Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin the meal. For my main course, I had the Gnocchi Con Asparagi. Let me just say--if you've ordered "gnocchi" at other restaurants, you haven't really had gnocchi until you've had it here. Absolutely worth savoring every single bite. We finished with tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and the perfect ending to the night. From start to finish, everything about this meal was outstanding. Great food, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service--you really can't find better Italian in Philly!

    Gnocchi Gorgonzola and Penne Spasso and Caesar Salad and Mussels and Meatballs with Marinara
    Natalie L.

    Went for happy hour and split the happy hour mussels, happy hour vodka sauce pasta (we substituted penne for their homemade fusilli), happy hour gnocchi Gorgonzola, happy hour meatballs, and Caesar salad. Actually perfect for two hungry girls, love that we could try smaller portions of their pasta dishes. The Caesar salad was actually awesome and well dressed. Super cute in there.

    Nice Italian restaurant in olde city. Very nice atmosphere, food was very good overall, and our server was very attentive to our needs. The coffee was also delicious.

    Meatballs with Marinara

    Came here on a Tuesday and was surprised to learn about the $50 special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You get to choose any Appetizer, Entree & Dessert& get a complimentary bottle of house wine. My sister and I weren't drinking, so they let us take the bottle of wine home. I had the meatballs to start, followed by the gnocchi gorgonzola and finished off with a tiramisu. The portion sizes were great, given that we got it on a special deal. I even had leftovers to bring home. The food didn't really blow me away though. Would I come back to try other items on the menu? Only if the Tuesday/Wednesday menu is still available.

    Where can we park? Paid parking? Valet? Or should we Uber. Thanks in advance!

    Is there gluten free pasta available? if so, what type?

    Yes gluten free pasta is available but penne only

    Is the food cooked with any soy?

    I️ am almost positive there aren't any soy products specifically advertised on the menu. You'd have to speak to the chef about soy sauce, miso, meat alternatives etc but I️ can't imagine they'd be found in Italian Foods.

    Cool spot in Hell's Kitchen for a craft beer. Good selection, but excellent service!read more

    My experience wasn't super here but I had high expectations after having some food and drinks the…read moreprevious night at the Monkey Thief down the street. Started off with the bartender giving me the stink eye and some lip about asking to sample their many micro-brews - I asked for one sample, it wasn't very good. The bartender's negative attitude made me uncomfortable asking for a second sample. Despite my trepidation and because they had as many as 19 different beers on tap, I asked for a second sample, which caused the bartender to frown at me and 'cut me off at 2.' I responded as positively as I could, accepted the second sample which I also did not enjoy, and took a random shot at a pint of a third beer which also wasn't great. Food was meh. As I now see has been noted in another review, the fried pickles had too much dough and way, way too much grease in them, which likely was the cause of me visiting the toilet a bunch in the morning. The pretzel was a hot pretzel, I don't agree with their choice of mustard as whole grain mustard can be difficult to spread on a hot pretzel but hey that's me. I understand that on Saturday nights people like to cut loose, but no one seemed to ask the women literally screaming with laughter to keep it down at the party in the corner, so this place gets low marks for very loud customers. I mean really there has to be a line somewhere and this was over it. The other bartender was almost apologetically polite when I asked for the check, kind of a good-cop/bad-cop thing going on there. If I wanted that experience I'd get arrested not visit a local bar. You only have one chance at a first impression.
