Cuisine type: Fusion; Italian
Style:
Partners MaryAnn Brancaccio and Maria Vanni have revitalized a South Philadelphia corner space with a dose of contemporary BYOB style. The room has a polished, dark-toned ambience, and the service is warm and outgoing. The New Italian menu is appealing, too, but needs consistency and finesse to reach its potential.
Specialties:
Spinach salad; scallop appetizer; shrimp and beet salad; farfalle with crab and porcini cream; seared tuna special with tomato-cherry pepper sauce; Aunt Lena's cheesecake.
Hours: Tue.-Sat (Dinner)
