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.

My family has been going to La Famiglia since the early 1980s. The food is consistently outstanding. The atmosphere is always great, with old world charm. I highly recommend La Famiglia for special occasions with your family. You will make memories here thanks to the wonderful ownership of the Sena family all these years!

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!

Great decor, friendly service, sprawling drinks menu and well-presented/prepared dishes. We ordered multiple tapas, all delicious - the mussels and shrimp were cooked just right! - and everything was exceedingly tasty. Spicy, yet not pepper-hot. Good pacing on the service, allowing us to enjoy some of one tapas before the next arrived. Nice. Excellent selection of wines (very fairly priced by the bottle, btw); the red sangria (they have another as well) is exceptional. The quiet, mellow jazz from the solo sax player back in the corner was the icing on the cake. We’ll be back for the paella.

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!
