So I went there for Valentine’s. Had their Valentine’s Day special menu. The food was pretty okay. Gnocchi was pretty bland except for the sauce. The steak was very juicy, but a little too charred on top. It feels like the sauce is made to cover that. Other than that, the rest of my food was really good, especially the desserts.
The tiramisu was amazing and the mango sorbet was also very good. The wait staff was also very nice and very accommodating and is one of the few reasons I would come back.
What I did not appreciate was that the menu didn’t completely tell you everything that was included in the meal. For example, the chocolate cake lists a bunch of ingredients that are included but fails to mention that it is topped with a cherry/sauce. I had to have it sent back since I cannot have cherries.
The music was also a little too loud and I was not able to tell what type of mood they were going for with their music selection. I also feel that for 300$
The least the restaurant can do is change out the silverware for each course, since it was a 3 course meal and remove all plates when it’s time for the next course.
Overall I didn’t feel it was worth the price. I recommend not going when they are having a special event menu where you will be paying 120+ person automatically.

Came here for restaurant week as we felt there was value for the menu they had. We were seated right next to the entrance and could feel the cold draft. When we asked to switch tables, we were told the tables had to be cleaned, but we were not offered the option to change tables after.
It took about 10 minutes for us to get some water once we were seated. We were able to switch tables after, which was nice. The focaccia bread they gave us as a starter was very salty, and the oil they provided was mildly bitter.
From the restaurant week menu, we ordered shrimp scampi, orecchiette, pork tenderloin, and NY strip steak. While the orecchiette was great, the shrimp scampi was so rubbery and had an off putting taste to it. The pork tenderloin was alright, fairly dry. Given we paid $10 extra for the NY strip, it was not cooked as we had requested, and the middle of the steak was so raw we could not finish eating it. Dessert was fairly mediocre, the tiramisu tasted like espresso and my ricotta cake was basically bread and ice cream.
The ambiance was great, which makes me want to return to try their regular menu. However, for restaurant week, we did not enjoy our experience.

We dined here at the beginning of November to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. When we arrived our table wasn’t available so we decided to have a drink at the bar. Because our bartender, Alex was so incredible we remained there for our dinner. It was such a pleasant experience and his hospitality made our night special. We took him up on his recommendations for an appetizer and dinner. We hope Alex will see this! He was exceptional!

We went for the Valentine’s Day dinner and were unfortunately disappointed. The promotional video featured the main dining room with the dimly lit wine bar ambiance we were expecting, but we were seated in what felt like an annex. It was noticeably cold, very quiet (you could hear all of the tables easing everyone to be whispering at their table), and had more of a banquet mall-like aesthetic – very different from the atmosphere shown and advertised. For the price of the Valentine’s menu, we would have appreciated the ambiance that was promoted.
The prix fixe menu felt incredibly steep for three small courses. Especially compared to the fine dining options in Philly. The pear salad was good with a nicely balanced dressing. However, the other dishes were quite small-eggplant ravioli, 5–6 pieces of mediocre lobster ravioli, and the braciola was just okay. Dessert was the driest ricotta cake ever when it’s supposed to be moist. Fortunately we got a chuckle throughout the meal as we couldn’t believe we’d been ripped off – at this price point to have such an underwhelming meal. Earlier that week we’d eaten at Mawn – fed 6 people for the same price of 2 now and had WAY more food and dish creativity.
Afterward, I noticed several reviews describing similar experiences on their 3 course menus, which was disappointing to see.
That said, the wine selection was excellent and the service felt sincere and attentive. If you go, perhaps go just for the wine.

I was super impressed with the food, ambience, and everything. A hidden gem in Old City – recommend to anyone in the area looking for authentic and delicious Italian. I enjoyed the happy hour appetizers & pasta bites. Great happy hour, 4:30-6pm, at the wine bar only. Excellent wine selection, apparently top-rated nationally. Cheers—

Beautiful restaurant, however the space for the amount of people my group hosted was unexpectedly huge! But overall the service and food was fantastic

We had dinner at Panorama in Old City on Friday night with a group of 10, and everything was perfect. Bill and the team took great care of us — super friendly, attentive, and made the whole night easy.
The antipasto and bruschetta were the perfect start, and the food just kept getting better. Everyone loved their meals — from the gnocchi and scallops to the NY steak. The cocktails and wine were top-notch too. One of our guests said it was “the best Manhattan I’ve ever had,” and we all agreed it was amazing.
Great food, great drinks, great service — we’ll definitely be back!

Went for happy hour. To be honest most of the food was bland. All of the pastas (including the gnocchi) were just meh. It wasn’t bad, just bland and underwhelming. The eggplant was very good though. The shrimp scampi was decent but they only give you 2 shrimp with the happy hour portion. I understand happy hour portions are smaller but 2 singular shrimp is ridiculous like come on . The bread and happy hour wine (red) were yummy.

I took my husband there to celebrate his birthday. It was our first time there. It definitely will not be our last. We had such a wonderful dining experience. From beginning to end it was amazing.
I cannot give enough praise to Angela. She went far and beyond for us. She made sure that my husband’s birthday was a memorable one. From the complimentary champagne, the excellent service, the delicious food, and let us not forget beautiful ambiance and conversation with her. The service was impressive. To top off the night a complimentary shot of limoncello, along with a Happy birthday wish.
Could not have asked for a better night.
Thanks again, Angela and the staff at Panorama. Excellent!
