I love old school Italian. They just know how to show you a great time. Great food, great and well trained staff and great food make this an awesome spot for dinner. We usually like to eat at the bar but every once in a while it’s nice to sit at a table with space around you and be able to relax and chat in a beautiful environment. After two generations (I hear the third is in the kitchen now) the family owned La Famiglia knows how to do it. I hope old school, full service restaurants like this live on forever. I hope I’m encouraging some out there to go and enjoy a relaxing fantastic evening at La Famiglia. More

A refreshingly different restaurant. We went on a Saturday night. Less busy than expected . Spicy shrimp bao was outstanding. Chorizo fried rice has an almost Indian flavor and is a must try, For vegetarians roasted eggplant with quinoa is a delight. Definitely worth a revisit. More

We found Panorama on Open Table, and really enjoyed it! Amy at the bar was great, knew her stuff about the 100s of wines by the glass, and really made waiting for our friends enjoyable. Once at our table, the food was AWESOME. Timely in its delivery and cooked to perfection. The duck homemade pasta was amazing, as was the strip steak. We will definitely return! More

Food and service was excellent. I had the rabbit dinner. My wife and her friend had the steak and shrimp and they both liked it. We've been to City Tavern at least once a year for the last eleven or twelve years, and have introduced friends to it. More

We are so happy to have discovered this amazing, beautiful restaurant. We live in Wilmington, but when we go to Philadelphia we will remember and return to Positano Coast. Thank you. Our server was terrific (sorry that I do not remember his name.) Everything was elegant, quiet and delightful! More

Red Owl is our go to place for lunch and dinner when we are in Old City. The menu while not huge has a nice variety and the food is always well prepared, fresh and tasty. A very nice wine list, good selection of beers on tap. We had the calamari to start - really tender and crispy. Veggie salads with jumbo lump crab - also perfect. Really great atmosphere with the exposed brick, open seating, large windows. Service great too. More

My friends and I have made several visits to Wister BYOB and we have an amazing meal every time. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service was fantastic--the waitress was attentive and sweet. I haven't had a single dish at Wister that I haven't fully enjoyed. I am definitely planning on eating at Wister again soon. More

Three of us had dinner at La Peg prior to a Fringe show. We all had either vegan or seafood based food and all selections were delicious as was the wonderful crusty bread offered with the meal. The passion fruit mojitos were also great. Only complaint was that the raw oysters priced at $3.00 each were not only extremely tiny but were stuck to their shells and turned to total mush when we attempted to spear them with a fork. A half dozen came to $18 and was a total waste of money. Other than that, everything was great. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. More

The restaurant has a cool southeast Asian vibe and the mango chicken that I had was so delicious. The friends that I were with also enjoyed their dishes. The details and layers of flavors for each dish were well thought out and even our Nan bread was exceptional, soft and warm, right out of the oven. I will probably return to this restaurant for other celebrations. More
