About the restaurant

The Sena family tradition of culinary excellence dates back to early 1947 when Carlo “Papa” Sena began to cook in postwar Naples. The family carried this experience across the Atlantic and opened La Famiglia in 1976 in the shell of a Colonial tea warehouse. Today, La Famiglia stands as the finest Italian restaurant in Philadelphia and a major landmark on the city’s vibrant restaurant scene.

I had an amazing experience at Panorama. The service food and ambiance was perfect.The Chef took the time and visited the table to ensure I was enjoying each meal prepared. I always respect and appreciate that. I would definitely recommend and return. I can’t wait to experience the outside dining when the summer comes. The view looks stunning!

About the restaurant

Welcome to Tria, Philly's original casual wine bar since 2004.

Our two Center City wine bars have helped elevate Philly’s wine scene while keeping it fun. Tria’s seasonally curated wine, cheese and beer menus showcase super-cool smaller producers who are driven by passion. The friendly Tria team will help you discover new flavor sensations if that’s your jawn. If you prefer, we’ll bring you more wine and leave you alone. It’s all good.

We love wine and it shows, but Tria above all is a community where guests come to relax and connect. There are no TVs or other distractions. The “concept” is for our guests to engage in conversation made livelier, deeper and cheerier by the wine. Cheers!

This was my first time here and the food did not disappoint. I booked the day before so there were only high-top tables available downstairs. Upstairs they have regular height dining. It was very busy but our server, Tina, gave us a little background on the restaurant and gave us some recommendations after inquiring. The cheese courses/appetizers were very good. The mains were very flavorful, and of course the gelato was amazing. Lots of flavors to temp you. Overall I would definitely recommend you try it out.
