A nice night out in Philly! Was visiting friends in Philly and we went out for a nice dinner. The plan was we had a reservation,but a technical snafu on our end never processed the reservation, clearly a simple mistake. When we arrived, our non existent reservation was not there. Luckily we arrived before it was to busy and they managed to find a table. While it was clearly a mistake, it would have meant looking for another location close by which is not easy on a busy Saturday evening.

We were soon seated and ordered the Polipo alla Griglia (grilled octopus olive & artichoke farro salad, whipped ricotta) and the Involtino Saltimbocca (Roasted pork tenderloin lled with prosciutto & sage polenta, marsala sauce) was my main course. Food and service was spectacular and hit the spot. The other food served was equally enjoyed by all in attendancein our party.

While we could have easily been turned away without a confirmed reservation, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our party which says a grewt deal about the customer service offered. Will add that we also had a toddler in tow so we would have to push the stroller to a new location after bundling up. Thanks to the staff at L’Anima for a great dinning experience. I believe the lovely female that accommodated our request was the owner, so that even make they experience even better knowing the owner is an active part of the overall experience.

Food and appetizers were delicious as well as the warm fresh bread that was served when we arrived.

We’re so glad to have L’anima in the neighborhood! The staff is wonderful and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious.

The standards like the crab spaghetti are great, and the specials are always…special!

The patio is a lovely place to eat in nice weather. The inside is comfortable, but a little noisy when it’s full.

Had an amazing experience at L’Anima my fiancée end I ate outside came hungry and left very satisfied. We sat outside on the great patio and started with a pizza which I didn’t expect to be that good, perfectly cooked with some nice crust. We got shared two pasta dishes the caccio e Pepe and the crab in red sauce with breadcrumbs and my gosh we were licking the plate when we finished. Our server was fantastic and we were able to meet the owner and chef who couldn’t have been nicer. This will certainly be a staple for us in the future would highly recommend you give it a try!

L’Anima is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding, truly authentic, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. Every dish reflects real care and quality. Just as impressive is the service: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely impeccable without ever feeling forced. You feel well taken care of from start to finish. A place that gets everything right—highly recommended and absolutely worth returning to.

LOVED the food and our experience. The dining area is very cute and we tried four different pastas (all very good). The portions are fair for the price, however I would have liked to add parm to some dishes but that wasn’t offered. My favorite pasta was either the gnocchi with mushrooms or the squid ink with seafood (the special, not a staple menu item).

Honestly the waitstaff was my favorite part of this experience! They were knowledgeable of everything on the menu and had great recommendations. The tiramisu wasn’t the most photogenic, but my favorite thing we had.

L’Anima delivers authentic Italian food that’s thoughtful, comforting, and full of flavor. The gnocchi is outstanding, and every dish reflects the pride the owners take in preparing and serving their food. The service is warm, attentive, and effortless, making you feel well taken care of from start to finish. A place that truly gets everything right and is always worth returning to.

We went on NYE and did their NYE special. I think it was worth it. Good portions, tasty food, and lots of options/variety. I definitely enjoyed the steak. My friend enjoyed the fish. We would definitely go back again and recommend. The customer service was great. It was a bit tight size wise a table for two was a bit tight but like i said it was fine. We thoroughly had a good experience. It’s byob so that’s a huge plus!

Me and my boyfriend had a lovely dinner. Our server Adam, was wonderful, and knowledgeable. We just had 2 dishes, the saltimbocca and the pappardelle which were outstanding. I don’t really eat pork but I’ll eat the saltimbocca again and again. It was a nice night so we enjoyed dinner on the patio. Can’t wait to come back, its a neighborhood gem

Everything was so delicious. We had the burrata appetizer, parmigiana pinsa, grigliata di pesce, and the rose water cotta for dessert. Everything was so, so tasty and the service was great. Love that it’s BYOB as other reviewers have mentioned. They have both indoor and outdoor seating – both areas have a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to others. Looking forward to returning!
