While there are tons of Italian byob restaurants in South Philly, this is my absolute favorite. You walk-in the front door and immediately find yourself in the kitchen, watching all the action happen. Once seated in the dining room, you will experience great service & delicious home cooked Italian. It’s dangerously close to our home.
