I would pick highlights from our meal, but they were all excellent. The burrata is rich and creamy, with thin slices of prosciutto to make a perfect bite. The mussels come in a rich, flavorful broth that is complex and not heavy. We saved it to dip in on throughout our meal. The meatballs were most and flavorful, in a beautiful marinara sauce. Oh, and the salmon carpaccio with sliced fennel and greens in a light, citrus dressing was divine!
The gnocchi were light and fluffy, in an amazing sauce. It was like eating little pillows of potatoes. The pasta in the special fettuccine, was light and delicate, unlike any I’ve had before. Finally, the shrimp ravioli we’re cooked to perfection, and once again, an amazing sauce. In fact, all of the sauces were amazing. It would be unfair to single one out as better than the others.
On top of all this, the service was excellent!
Highly recommend!
I have no idea how – but it keeps getting better. Adding some new photos of the amazing rigatoni blush sauce pasta we had. This is my go-to spot in Philly ❤️

Oh my goodness. I adore this place. Went here with a friend as a vegetarian and the food was phenomenal. I have never seen an authentic Italian restaurant be so accommodating and helpful for vegetarian guests. They offered to have everything on the menu be customized to be vegetarian. It was so kind. Our waiter patiently walked us through the options, and was so friendly.
The food… to die for. The gnocchi is particular was outstanding, but my friend also really enjoyed the tomato pesto pasta. Ironically, the burrata was not outstanding, but with everything else being a hit, it was alright. The tiramisu is the best I’ve had in Philly. I’ve gone back twice — and will be there much more.
For starters…
Fresh sesame bread was served with an olive oil and vinegar combination. Our family started with 3 appetizers. The beet and arugula salad, burrata decorated with roasted bell peppers and a fig balsamic glaze, and the breaded and baked smoked Gouda special. All three were perfectly prepared and presented.
The friendly and knowledgeable wait staff kept our water glasses full and we never had to wait to have our table cleared. Place settings were refreshed after each course.
We decided to try 4 different entrees for the main course. The truffle mushroom gnocchi was the best gnocchi we’ve ever had! It melted in your mouth. The lobster and crab raviolis were bursting with savory flavors. The rigatoni was so fresh and delicious. Each bite, I was silently whispering “wow” to myself. And last, but certainly not least, the fettuccine with shrimp and a light cream sauce! It’s a simple yet elegantly classic dish here. We highly recommend everything we had.
For dessert, we tried the limoncello cake with a light semi-sweet whipped icing topped with black raspberry drizzle. We also had the pistachio ice cream. 3 scoops was enough to share between 4 people. Both desserts were the perfect way to end the evening!
Date night, first date, family night, or girls night out? We highly recommend making reservations with Burrata today!
My wife and I loved the seafood spaghetti dish, although the dark brown (think buckwheat) spaghetti surprised us at first. The rich white wine broth and clams were fantastic, but the noodles were perplexing and intriguing (and fantastic!). The whole wheat made it seem like it might be tough but it was smooth and chewy, while still hearty. And yet it almost felt too soft and about melt, although there was a firm elasticity to it! The scallops risotto was rich and decadent. Temp was good. The service was good, the outdoor ambience was wonderful, the napkin’s blue-gray hue resonated with my wife, and the plates were gorgeous.
Overall, it was excellent and worthy of going back and recommending to friends and family. The meal may not have been technically flawless (the delicious octopus could stand to be grilled or cooked a tad longer), but it was still perfectly authentic, heartfelt, and admirably executed. It straddled the fine line between elevated/elegant and homey. It accomplished what it set out to do and delivered on what one would expect!
We live outside the city, so we won’t be able to visit often, which may be good, because this is such a fine neighborhood establishment—if I lived nearby, I’d definitely be in danger of blowing my monthly dining budget!
