One of the best pasta places in Philly. Get the Mugnaia and the Tazozelle as pastas , and don't even think about missing the burrata as the appetizer . Desserts are insane also, semifreddo especially.

Do not miss Chef Joe Cicala 's Chitara with Braised Lamb , Maccheroni alla Mugnaia , or any of the desserts - Angela Cicala is a Pastry Genius. (BYOB on Tuesdays).

The fairly recent chef change brought Joe Cicala to the kitchen, and the menu has gone from excellent to superior in quality. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Don’t miss the maccheroni alla mugnaia­—a single 60-foot strand of hand-pulled pasta , served for the whole table, dressed in extra-virgin olive oil , pecorino romano and black pepper .

This charming restaurant focuses on the interesting and underappreciated cuisine of Abruzzo, a region in central Italy.

Great Pasta ! How can you choose between chef Luciana Spurio’s fresh fazzoletti “handkerchiefs” with rich duck ragu , the feathery crepes layered with itty-bitty meatballs , or the paper-thin pappardelle Read more

Chicken and honey roasted potatoes are heaven sent ????????????????

Le Virtu has consistently flown under the radar in Philly until this year. Try the rabbit-stuffed chocolate ravioli for a really crazy delicious ride. Read more

Luckily, you’ve stumbled across a Philly classic that’s under the tourist radar . If only the Vatican had such a place, the Borgia family would have surely escaped papal stresses and prying eyes here.

The maccheroni alla mugnaia is a single noodle—a six-foot-long hand-rolled ode to chewiness, dosed with garlic and chili flakes .

The food is outrageously good here! Check out their Facebook photos from their latest trip to the Abruzzi region of Italy!

Excellent food! We were a group of 8 and at first I thought the service was slow, but with the amount of food they give you, you need the time! Timballo di Scrippelle was fabulous! Read more

Chicken and honey roasted potatoes are heaven sent ????????????????

For dessert , be sure to order farm-fresh, sheep's milk cheeses and aged ricottas from Marcelli Formaggi in Abruzzi . Amazing!

Try the N'duja for an appetizer . It's a spicy salami spread. Very good!

House made pasta is excellent

Fantastic regional Italian food from Abruzzi .

Best meal I've had in a long time. Get the octopus , porchetta and stuffed olives

The Le Virtù martini is delicious!

Order the extra long noodle (in advance).

George Sabatino, chef of Morgan's Pier , eats here on his nights off. He loves the Affettati misti. Read more
