Classic homemade Italian. So good! The chef and manager are so friendly and might bring out something special! The prosciutto is thin and the stuffed pepper is great. All the pastas are amazing.
The second oldest BYOB in Philadelphia has all of the classic Italian fare that you would expect, and a few specials you might not. A very underrated spot that's as small as a closet and casually eleg Read more
This is one of my favorite Italian places anywhere. I used to come here 10 years ago and it hasn't changed. The chicken with asiago cheese , the gnocchi , and paglia and fieno are to die for.
One of my favorite Philly restaurants . Pollo Milanese is my go to, with an extra side of fettuccine .
Portion sizes are on the small side but food is definitely awesome. Had the angel hair pasta with mussels . To die for.
They were so warm and kind. And the fettuccine bolognese was the best I've ever tasted!
One of the best BYO 's my husband and I have been to. Excellent food and an authentic Italian experience.
They are amazing! I love every dishes that i have tonight, especially the tiramisu !!!!!!!
Veal medallion ... Delicious!
We are celebrating 17 years serving the freshest Italian cuisine to Rittenhouse and the Philadelphia region
Amazing food! Very tiny place but worth the tight fit.
No frills BYOB with amazing food.
Experiencing Restaurant week at our favorite Center City Italian restaurant .
The veal was delicious. Highly recommended.
Best food ever. Been here six times never had anything short of an amazing meal .
Chef is from Buffalo, NY! (East aurora)
Very disappointed with our dinner tonight. Prawns weren't fresh, nor we're the gnocchi . The salads were fine, nothing to write home about mind. Tiny, cramped and ridiculously loud . Not going again.
We prepare our pastas in house
Order the garlic bread !
The veal + tenderloin combo is available if you get tight w/ the owners...
I have no idea what the food is like, because they would not let us sit down as we had backpacks. Extremely rude guy who would not reveal his name.
These guys are from Buffalo and therefore are AWESOME.
Great for groups! And they can handle groups of any size. They dazzled 60 of our wedding guests without breaking a sweat. - Dennis B
The portions for the prix fixe menu are SO large - come hungry if you do that!! The lamb osso bucco is to die for. - Jenna Quaranta
Helium is fantastic. It's a small, intimate venue, which is a great way to see your favorite comedians. I've already been to 3 shows since I discovered the club was there & can't wait to go to more! - Julia Hays
Brunch is amazing and portions are huge, I got a huge plate of French toast, eggs and bacon for 10 bucks and it was enough for two people. Who would have thought their brunch was that good! - Amy D. K.
