Leisurely cafe by day, Bastia transforms to a Mediterranean restaurant by night and draws culinary inspiration from the sun-drenched islands of Corsica and Sardinia

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tyler Akin

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed chef Tyler Akin is back with Bastia, his stylish Mediterranean restaurant inside Fishtown’s Anna & Bel hotel. Snag a seat at one of the green marble bar tops or at a cozy table by the fireplace to dig into seafood-forward dishes like sea urchin butter tartine paired with playful cocktails and riffs on classic aperitivi. Either way, the all-day cafe is made for lingering, just like his beloved and now-shuttered Res Ispa was.

    Having recently spent time in Sardinia , we we skeptical that the food here would be comparable to what we experienced. Bastia managed to create an authentic Sardinian menu that delivered . The appetizers and entrees were amazing. The deserts left a little room for improvement, but overall it was an excellent meal . The space is beautiful and has a great vibe. My only complaint is that the music is very loud. We were seated directly below a speaker and it made it difficult to hear anyone. I hope that can be rectified with either lowering the volume or changing the placement of speakers. I heard another group complaining about the same thing.

    Every single course was unique and delicious! Recommendation by our server ,Sean, on how to order was spot on. He also suggested the winter Negroni drink and it was fantastic! We started with the salted beets and the hiromasa crudo both were fresh and light. We had the skate cheeks, the texture of the fish was flaky and had a bit of crunch on top. The ricotta dumplings had my mouth watering from the smell as I broke open the first dumpling. It had the perfect amount of heat and a slight smokiness that was so freaking good you want to lick the bowl. Hubby ordered the veal osso buco and raved about it. I had the orata and it was flaky and delicious. Most places that excel at the main food are not so terrific with desserts but at Bastia both the panna cota and the basque cheesecake had unique flavors that were a perfect ending. Service was incredible and allowed us to have conversation but never missed a beat on clearing and presenting the next course. We’ve been to a lot of really good restaurants but Bastia is top 3 of them all. There are a lot of excellent restaurants in Philadelphia and we will choose to return to Bastia.

    Pasta was so fresh and incredible. The menu was very interesting and thoughtful for the season. My fiancé grew up in Italy and said it’s the best pasta he’s had so far in Philly.

    My main course was the swordfish which was outstanding. Can't wait to go back and try all those other interesting dishes. Restaurant has a very sophisticated vibe.
