I was in town for a work trip and stopped in here for a bite (and a hangover remedy ) before my train back to NY. I had an INCREDIBLE experience here. I sat at the bar with Lucy and she was kind, knowledgeable and hospitable. I was only going to pop in for one and be on my way but her ethos and hospitality changed my mind and I ended up staying at the bar to finish up my work day. I had the hangar steak salad (AMAZING) and a glass of Chenin Blanc. Additionally, the Non Alc section of this menu is impressive! Thank you Lucy for such a great afternoon! read more

Food was good, but a bit underwhelming. Some of the flavors didn't really complement each other. We sat by the bar but service was still fantastic despite not being in the main dining areas. read more

On a Monday night in August, my friends and I decided to give Wilder a try after hearing of their pizza and small plates. To our surprise, this experience has now made Wilder one of our favorite restaurants in Philly after have dined at 50+ Philly restaurants. Our waiter, Joel, made our experience all the more memorable while being attentive and knowledgeable about the food he served. Our favorite dish was the Branzino with the corn puree as you can see from the photos, we nearly licked the plate clean. Another honorable mention would be the Esquites Pizza, this unique turn on pizza reminded me of mexican street corn on a perfectly charred pizza crust. The perfect summer pizza. To top the night off, we planned on getting dessert elsewhere, yet our waiter brought us a little treat (which I believe was a lavender cream puff with raspberry jam). AMAZING. On top of the food, the ambience was super chill, laidback, and comfortable. The lighting, greenery, and music were amazing. Our drinks were great, absolutely nothing bad to say. Safe to say, we had an amazing experience and will 10000% be back again. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. read more

Great ambiance and decor, nice space with lots of different areas, and staff is great. Bar area with lounge, a dining area, a patio out front, and an upstairs room. They have a good happy hour menu, very interesting cocktails, and a good mix of food. Stopped in for some happy hour bites and drinks. Both of the toasts (nduja and ricotta) and rillettes are quite tasty. The happy hour pizza is wood fired and a great deal, good toppings with a nice zesty kick. As to the cocktails, they go out and have some very curios combinations. Blue eyes white dragon definitely let the hpnotiq shine with mezcal/sake to back it up. A great mix! Monks secret stash was wonderfully warm and sweet, with some mysterious background flavoring from the chartreuse elixir. Endless fairytale seemed better in theory than in reality but might not have been mixed as well. Overall a really nice space with great food and drink. Thanks read more

Went here for my birthday dinner and had a great experience. They were able to seat me even though my full party hadn't arrived yet. The staff were super friendly and let us enjoy our time without feeling rushed. The pull apart bread was amazing, definitely the highlight of the meal. I also had a mocktail that was light and refreshing. I ordered the bucatini cacio e pepe and loved it. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the broccolini added a fresh, crunchy touch. Would definitely come back! read more

Came here for brunch and food was amazing. Everyone's plate was emptied, even the fries were all gone. Everything we ordered was delicious and portions were reasonable for the price. Our server was friendly and the interior of the restaurant was very cute and warming. Just the restroom light was very very dim.. Will def come back and try other things on the menu. read more

Delicious dinner! What we ordered: Crispy Calamari - The grapefruit and orange pieces with the frisée salad was surprisingly good with the crispy calamari. 5/5 Lamb Bacon Pizza - Chunks of lamb belly, toasted hazelnuts, fresh mozzarella, and pesto on a white sauce. The crust was excellent -- light, chewy, and perfectly baked. 5/5 Mafaldine alla Vodka with Jumbo Lump Crab - Our unanimous favorite dish of the night (the photo doesn't do it justice!). The housemade pasta was cooked al dente in a creamy vodka-tomato sauce with a generous amount of jumbo lump crab meat. I just wish there had been a touch more fresh basil. 5/5 Broccolini with Tonnato Sauce - A simple dish that was extremely well executed. The broccolini was crisp-tender, topped with crispy breadcrumbs. The tonnato sauce added a savory note that complemented the garlic and lemon. 5/5 For dessert, we shared the Double Chocolate Mousse, and our server surprised us with a complimentary housemade ice cream -- vanilla and Earl Grey & plum swirl. I think it was because my 11yo son was with us and this isn't the type of restaurant with a kids menu. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience -- great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

The food was delicious. I was with a friend that had a gluten allergy and they were able to make adjustments for her. We both enjoyed our meals. The service was perfect. We told our server we had to be out in 45 minutes and she did exactly that. Rapidly took our order and prioritized us before 2 large parties arrived. A coffee was spilled. She cleaned it no problem and offered us both refills. The ambiance was very colorful upstairs and downstairs it has character. I love the feel and sweating. It gives modern 70's vibes. This would be a very chic dinner spot. Save this for date nights. Or a working lunch setting. Upstairs is good for groups. read more

accommodates big parties well for a birthday dinner! I liked the crab pappardelle pasta I tried during restaurant week and I absolutely need to go back for their house rolls. only thing I don't like is the cake cutting fees. read more

I was here for a 'holiday dinner' for work. We reserved the private room upstairs which has a long table...there were about 15 of us. We had a server designated to us and a pre fixed menu. The ambiance of the restaurant is great! Low light sets the mood. Seems like a great place to meet up with a friend for a drink or for dinner. They also offered a coat check. We had wood fired pizzas for appetizers. I had a salad, hanger steak and a cheesecake w/cranberries for dessert. Everything was delicious and I was very full! I even took most of the dessert home. Parking: find a spot on the street and pay the meter or there are a few garages within a block. I found one on spothero that cost me $14 for a weekday evening. read more

Went for restaurant week 2024. Beautiful candlelit space with velvet accents Had a fish spread on a toast , the hot chicken, I think a beef dish, ice cream/sorbet, and chocolate cremeux. Good but a little salty for my taste. HUGE portion of chicken that I brought with salad for lunch for 3 more days which was a great value ha! read more

This was my first time here and we were so impressed! The vibes are incredible. The restaurant is so pretty and well put together and the service was amazing. We were sat immediately and the waiter was so nice. Food came out pretty quick and was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend the margarita pizza and the malfadine pasta. The crust of the pizza was perfectly crunchy yet airy. The pasta noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce and grab were delicious. Definitely recommend - it will for sure be back! read more

Went to a dinner at Wilder. Ended up getting the spring peas & burrata, mafaldine alla vodka, and chocolate cremeux for dessert. I really liked the spring peas & burrata over all the other salads offered on the menu. I really liked the use of sugar snap peas and the use of burrata. I didn't really like what they put on top of the burrata though. The mafaldine alla vodka was really good. It was a big portion and had really long pasta pieces. There was also a hefty amount of lump crab in the dish. The desert of chocolate cremeux didn't have enough vanilla ice cream on top (in my opinion). I really liked the cacao nibs in this dish (it made up for the lack of ice cream). read more

Excellent food and great service! We had the Sweet & Spicy Pizza, Crudo Sampler, Mafaldine Alla Vodka, and Grilled Hangar Steak--all of which were excellent in their own right. My favorite thing was the Scallop Crudo, the Hangar Steak (which was cooked perfectly to order and seasoned just right), and the pizza! read more

I was really excited to try Wilder - and we specifically went for Restaurant Week to try different dishes. However, I was disappointed to find that the vegetarian Restaurant Week option was a cauliflower dish - I asked if it was possible to have the sweet corn pasta instead since there were limited vegetarian options. However that wasn't possible, which was fine but I really wanted to try that pasta so I decided to forego the Restaurant Week option. They were out of the pull-apart rolls which I was excited about, unfortunately. I ordered the sweet corn pasta for main and then split the basque cheesecake and chocolate variety dish for dessert. Unfortunately the pasta was bland and a bit flavorless, and lacked salt or spices of any kind. Presentation was nice and the pasta was nice and stuffed with cheese and corn. The desserts were good - especially the chocolate one, I LOVED. The cream was rich, the chocolate was delicious, and the brownie bits were chewy and yummy. I do think some of the other dishes are probably better because my friend enjoyed his mains and apps (he got the Restaurant Week menu. Overall beautiful ambiance and great desserts but the vegetarian options leave much to be desired. read more

This was such a cute restaurant with a nice intimate atmosphere! I came here for dinner with a bigger group (under a reservation), and it seems they're able to accommodate large groups very easily. The place was well decorated and the staff were attentive. I ordered the mafaldine pasta and it was delicious! The pasta had a great level of chew and plenty of shredded crab. read more

Spent the weekend in Philly to attend a comedy club but decided on Dinner at Wilder. 10/10 location. The atmosphere was nice, laid back and relaxing. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Pasta was what made me book reservations so I decided to go with the Pappardelle Ragu, which consist of wild boar and seasoned to perfection. I was amazed at the taste and how flavorful it was. My companion went with the Grilled stripe bass and had great things to say about it. I'm really happy with my decision to give Wilder a try while in Philly! read more

I was a bit nervous beforehand perusing the menu as there were definitely dishes that I thought sounded interesting but there were equally as many that did not. The options for the raw bar didn't really stand out, especially for the price, and neither did any of the other apps. We opted instead for an appetizer pizza, which I am finding is becoming increasingly common. The fall fever was delicious: beautiful fontina cheese complementing the mushrooms. Wish the crust had been ever so slightly more firm. Pretty sizable-maybe more than just a standard app... For pasta I was drawn to the mafaldine and am so glad I was. This is one of my favorite types of pastas and the vodka sauce was great. The highlight, though, was such ample amount of delicious crabmeat. My favorite meal of the night. We also got the Calabrian hot chicken. We were warned it would pack a spice and it really did. The piece of chicken is strangely large so we had plenty to take home. The crispiness in the setting of the spice was quite nice. There was a Caesar salad plopped right on top in the middle that seemed very out of place and probably didn't need to be there (it was still good? maybe it would have been better on the side?). Finally, broccolini as a side. Always love a good broccolini and this was cooked well. I wasn't familiar with tonnato sauce and this was a lovely introduction to this that I thought was a smart choice for this dish. The space itself is huge, I didn't realize there was a second floor until I started walking the stairs. The tables upstairs are a skosh cramped but not terribly so. The service left a little bit to be desired and it was difficult to get things like refills on water. The individual bathrooms were quite nice. read more

Was my first time here; a fan of the theme but menu is quite limited, especially if you have dining restrictions. I'll be honest, I wasn't going to leave a review (unlike me, I know) but the spicy pizza was so good that I had to. Honestly wish I could have it every day forever; if I were to go back here, that is absolutely what I would get. There were so many toppings, I could use one of the rolls and make a little sandwhich with my leftover toppings. We also split the rolls & spring pea salad; bread is bread, lots of butter which is fun. the service was fine, but a little disappointed that there were so few actual peas in it? A bit odd. read more

Had some of the pizza. The short of it is that it's amazing. Crust, flavor, ingredients, all perfect. By far some of the best wood fired pizza I've had it many years. Cool atmosphere and very friendly staff. read more

Food was very delicious and fresh, came out piping hot! One of the best Cacio e Pepe dishes I've ever had and I order Cacio e Pepe at every place that offers it (my favorite pasta dish ). Perfectly sauced, perfect amount of pepper, and the homemade bucatini was to die for. The margherita pizza was also very delicious. I'm one of those people who leaves the pizza crust on my plate but this crust was so incredibly delicious I gladly ate every last bit of the slice. The ambiance was very unique and pretty, perfect lit (not too bright or dark). Quick, friendly service. Would 10/10 recommend! read more

Ordered the Ricotta Fennel Toast, the Cacio Pepe and Chocolate Mousse. The Ricotta fennel was really nice and something different.

A very cute and popular new restaurant in the city with indoor and outdoor seating, plus two floors! I love the vibes inside and the decor with the animal prints, plants and a ton of natural lighting. Aesthetically pleasing restaurant! Service was okay. We were originally seated at a table with a waitress who was truly unfriendly. We were directly behind the AC vent and were a bit cold so we asked to move tables. Once we moved, we had a different waiter who was much nicer and professional! Everything we ordered was delicious, but nothing blew us away or stood out. We ordered oysters, beets and burrata, paccheri ragu, grilled branzino and broccolini aglio e olio. Oysters were amazing and I would highly recommend ordering it! The ragu was rich and had a delicious base that wasn't too tomato heavy like most ragu. Loved the pasta noodles and again the actual meat was addicting and tender. The branzino was beautifully presented and very citrusy. Light meal that won't make you feel too heavy afterwards. I'd return to give brunch a try next time! read more

I enjoy Wilder, it's an easy reservation with good service and a beautiful interior. The food is nothing to write home about but it is good. I recently had the summer fever pizza, which was surprisingly good but I wish there was more peach flavor. Since there was no base sauce, the parts without peach just had corn and sprinkles of feta and were pretty bland. read more

They have vegan pasta and pizza options but you have to ask the waiter. The pasta one is almost always amazing. The pizza is pretty good too. The atmosphere is lively and fun. The bar area is nice and I've had dinner at the bar with a friend in the past. The waiters/bartenders have always been friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. read more

I hate to be the minority here but I was totally disappointed by the drinks and the desserts. Ambiance is cool, I really liked the 5 different chandeliers and moroccan rug on the walls. For drinks, we got Skinny spicy no salt and Role call - both were so bad. Their desserts are the size of a main course. Think American portion sizes. The bomboloni, though fluffy and soft, is nothing exceptional. The pics don't do justice but they are just 5 big donut holes with powdered sugar and some blobs of peanut butter. The warm sticky toffee pudding is really good but only with the brown butter rum ice cream - which to be fair is equally delicious and the combination is bomb! After the ice cream is gone, it is just way too sweet and heavy for 1 person to finish. Also, who in their right mind wants to eat that much sugar or calories in one meal? Dessert should be something that you enjoy after dinner, not something that should make you feel sick. read more

Wilder is FANTASTIC. The menu is constantly changing based on what's in season so you know everything is fresh. We started with the Petit Plateau which came with oysters, shrimp, crab claws, tuna crudo and scallop crudo. As a table of four, we shared a blueberry burrata salad, sweet & spicy pizza, carrot farfelle, and the burger. Everything was delicious and was served spaced out so we could enjoy each dish. Our server, Ben, was so attentive and thoughtful. We had a few allergies at the table and he checked with the chef and bartenders multiple times to make sure everything we ordered was safe to eat. It's a great spot for a date night, but would also be perfect for a happy hour for drinks and a pizza. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Yikes-Carrots were overcooked and I should have asked what vadouvan is and it's curry, it didn't jive well with the carrots Grace was our server- fantastic and kind.

I've been here several times but previous only for happy hours -- first time eating dinner here! so good. The place itself rocks -- from the outside to the inside -- appreciate the cohesive design. Rugs, jewels, lighting, logo, outfits, etc. Nothing absurdly novel to me but everything was delightful and would actually order every item again. That must be a record. The real highlights for me was Spring Fever Pizza rocked (I've had like all the pizza in the city), spinach chitarra, and grilled branzino. All three of those items are very cohesive and tasty. read more
