Best Cozy Restaurants in South Philly

Wow! I walked past this resto so many times, and, from the outside, it looked average. However, as soon as you walk in the front door, you know that you are some place special. The ambience is great, but, more importantly, the food was exquisite. Yes, it was expensive, but the experience was worth every penny. To start, we ordered rolls with chive butter, and, for an entrée, had pumpkin ravioli with walnuts, apples, onions, and ricotta cheese--yum! The food was so good that we decided to order dessert, an apple tartan which was equally delicious. On top of that, our server was excellent, very helpful, and friendly. You have to try this place at least once!

Wonderful service and tasty food, a little noisy during peak lunch hours but it adds to the cozy atmosphere! I appreciated the variety of gluten free options and care towards allergies

Absolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.

First off I have only been one time, but I live out of state so I'm not likely to be able to go three times in a six month period to be super fair with this review. That said it was fantastic, fabulous and fierce! The service is incredible, the bartender is top notch & has a wonderful singing voice, even our table support staff got caught humming or singing as they worked, then our servers each belted out amazing ballads. While I didn't have the opportunity to peek into the basement kitchen, I can only surmise they are happily listening to heavy metal and have voracious appetites for culinary knowledge. The overall experience was delicious and delightful. We hope our next visit will be extremely similar and sooner than later.

Wonderful fresh meals! We enjoyed the brick chicken and the pork chop! Outstanding service as well.
