Best Historic Restaurants in Upper North Philadelphia

This was a wonderful first fine dining experience. I was struck speechless by some dishes. The espresso before dinner was not complimentary, the hollandaise was slightly cold over my tortellini and the potato gratin’s cheese split which was unfortunate but overall it was truly a magical experience and the were highlights (the nonalcoholic spritz, the magical lighting, the dessert, and the aji with apple and peanuts) that struck me speechless and made up for it. Magical. Wonderful. So happy I did it.

Delmonico & Porthouze Steaks with Black Truffle Butter were to die for. Maybe the best steaks I’ve ever had. 10/10

We brought out of town guests to eat at this wonderful restaurant. From the front desk as you arrive, to the waitress and the food was all on point. Great professional staff, clean and inviting environment. We each had something different from, Branzino, Veal Saltimbocca, Gnocchi and Pork Chops and all were perfect. The restaurant was packed. This restaurant is always a perfect choice.

The food and service is amazing. This restaurant is a neighborhood gem. I am certain it will quickly become a hard reservation to get. The wait staff is attentive without being smothering. They are there when you need them, and they give you space when you don’t. The fried sea bass was great and their shrimp cocktail is to die for. Ask for their hot sauce.

An unusual and interesting menu featuring excellent handmade pastas and breads. The appetizer of charred cabbage was one of the most interesting and delicious apps I've ever had and the greens and herb salad was perfectly dressed. For dessert, the pretzel cannoli did not disappoint - yum! Our server Gregory from VT was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a very pleasant and delicious meal - would come again when in Philly.
