Absolutely phenomenal in all aspects, highly recommended! Went with a friend and ordered the Lobster Bisque Shooter, Caesar Salad, Calamari Fritti, Orecchiette, NY Strip Steak, Tiramisu, and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake off the restaurant week menu. The NY Strip Steak sauce was so delicious and flavorful. The white chocolate tiramisu was the best I have ever had! There was a live pianist the entire time. It was very a very beautiful and romantic atmosphere.

Everything was lovely! Service was great and so was the food. They make sure to celebrate you if you have a birthday. The restaurant is beautiful and the live piano player adds to the ambiance. A great find!

Really nice service and such a wonderful atmosphere! I went during restaurant week and got the chef tasting menu. I loved the lobster shooter thing but my steak wasn’t the best. Overall a great dinner experience and will definitely return! The music, service, and ambience was definitely a nice and romantic vibe!

I’m still on cloud nine after my birthday celebration! My boyfriend took me to this breathtaking restaurant where we enjoyed an exceptional wine cellar experience. The atmosphere was electric, the service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. Standouts included the savory oxtail appetizers and delectable main course, followed by a heavenly dessert and a zesty lemon cello shot. And as a special memento, we signed a bottle and left it in the room!

A great well hidden spot in society hill. Make sure to get a reservation or put your name on the list as they have super limited walk ins! The ambiance was dark, and the piano music was incredible for a great date night! We ended up seated on a table next to the stairs, felt a bit cramped and in the middle of the walking paths, but otherwise the vibes were impeccable. Prices were very fair for the city! The focaccia with whipped ricotta was so light and creamy, and the balsamic glaze was the perfect sweet savory counter. The chicken parm was perfectly crispy, and the cheese was melty and fresh. The accompanying pasta was cooked al dente and with a nice sweet tomato sauce. Wine menu was very extensive and a sommelier made a fantastic recommendation. Calcio e Pepe brussel sprouts were out of this world, a bit lemony but otherwise perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be back for more!

My fiancé and I ate here last night, and the vibes were immaculate! It’s so beautiful in here, and the food was pretty good! We sat downstairs, and it was a little tight, but we seriously didn’t mind. I definitely recommend the tortellini; it was quite literally to die for lol…I got the gnocchi, but I will say the truffle was a bit too strong for my liking. To each their own, though! We ended our meal with the chocolate tiramisu, and omg, let me tell you it was so delicious. Our server, Jackie, was very sweet and accommodating. She was super attentive and all around a great server; she definitely helped make our experience even better! The prices were just what we expected and were fairly reasonable, especially for the city. I definitely would recommend anyone here, ESPECIALLY for date night!

The most romantic and chill atmosphere! Perfect for a date night, anniversary, or a birthday dinner Food was delicious and service was amazing. We made reservations but I’m sure you can just walk in and you wouldn’t wait long. You can sit in the secluded wine cellar (but im sure you have to call well in advance as there is only one spot)
tldr: great vibes, great italian food and great wine.

Visited this restaurant during restaurant week in Philly and they did not disappoint. From the lamb chops to the charcuterie and the wine, I was completely satisfied. The location and ambiance was everything you could ask for to go along with the amazing food. Excellent service and well worth the money!!!

Bistro Romano has been on my list for quite some time, unfortunately it was a let down. It feels like we came on an off night.
We booked our resy out a month in advance. We were seated at a table upstairs, next to the bar and pianist. We really wanted to sit downstairs, where there is more of an ambiance and dimly lit. When we were seated and asked our server, she said you need to go ask the hostess but then she eventually went and asked for us. Came back and said no. We were disappointed.
We started with espresso martinis – truly the worst I’ve ever had. It was light brown and almost see through, that’s how watery it was. When I asked our server if she could remake it to be foamier and richer, she says what do you just want more espresso in it… I said I’m not sure I guess so. She didn’t remake it, she herself just added more espresso to it and then it tasted like a cup of cold coffee. It was terrible. She didn’t end up charging us for them, without us asking.
Our food was all good. The focaccia was out of this world, especially topped with the tomato pesto and caprese. Phenomenal bite. The mafaldine pesto was a little too salty, I’ve had better pesto pasta elsewhere in the city. The gnocchi special was delicious and a huge portion. The calamari was standard.
I found it odd that our server was also bartending. She didn’t have great customer service skills. For a place where I’m paying $100+ for a drink and food, I am expecting top notch service. It was also very disappointing that they could not accommodate us downstairs. There is nowhere to specify on the reservation where you would be seated. I will not be coming back.
