Paradiso Restaurant and Wine Bar (1627 E. Passyunk Ave.) is a casual and elegant space featuring an open kitchen.

Chef/Owner Lynn Rinaldi uses seasonal and fresh ingredients in her Italian dishes, including vegetables and herbs harvested from the rooftop garden.

Don Shump of Philadelphia Bee Co., tends the rooftop beehives. Hundreds of thousands of honeybees provide the restaurant with local honey that's used in kitchen dishes, cheese boards and in their craft cocktails.

A lively bar and thoughtfully prepared Italian foods make this South Philadelphia spot a neighborhood favorite.
