Go birds. Philly takes its team seriously. It also takes its bar food seriously. Its at a high level over here in the east. Pear pasta was memorable and the meatballs were just right. Not a birds fan but I am a fan of Murph. Go Murphs

Its busy but this was the best pasta Ive had in the city and half the cost of my other favorite (ambrosia)
Smaller cozy pub feel w friendly staff and plenty of local brews. Our raviolis and arinanca balls so satisfying

First visit, arrived on Thursday at the tail end of happy hour and found a spot at the bar. Absolutely love the ambiance of the place. I found the staff to be friendly and attentive and the food was incredible! I had the pasta and sausage with vodka sauce. Will be back!

My first visit to Murph's. I consider myself a bit of a foodie. Absolutely amazing Experience . The pasta dishes, the penne with pork cheek, and the Pappardelle with sliced fillet.. Absolutely incredible. We were sharing pasta so I ordered the Bronzino one of the best Bronzino I've ever had. Our server was amazing;. I must apologize for not remembering her name. The banter back-and-forth with Gary the bartender topped off the night. Can't wait to come back.
I wish I could give a good review because I saw overworked employees trying hard. We arrived at 5 on a Saturday to try out a place with great online reviews. This was a mother/daughter trip to Philly and we were tired and hungry from a long day around the city. We were told the wait would be 30-40 minutes. We grabbed a few drinks from the bar and stood to wait our turn. We waited for more than an hour and a half before getting our table. In that time, a couple walked in from off the street and sat themselves without waiting and were served. Another couple brought it to the attention of the host and it was shrugged off with an apology. When we were finally seated we were advised of several menu items that were no longer available. We ordered around the limitations and waited again. The appetizer came out quickly and was delicious (fried burrata). We were then notified that one of our mains was no longer available, so we shared the one that did come out. It was served with three small pieces of bread. We asked for more but were told they weren’t offering extra bread that night (even though we saw many tables receiving it during our hour and a half wait). We never received refills on our drinks and had just one glass each. I do not recommend this spot for any type of enjoyable experience. If you do go, pack a few snacks and h20 to get you through.

This is not a bar, it's not a restaurant. This is a Philadelphia Institution. It's a monument to authentic made that day food and revelry that is a well kept secret that wait for no one and is open to all who are in the know. If you are one who judges books by their cover then you should reserve judgment until you've covered your tongue into any of the pasta here. It's the secret that we all wish was still secret.
I unfortunately am not as close to this and I guess felt the need to let the word out in aoitful jealousy of those who still get to just wander in for hand made Italian extacy sold out of a Irish bar with no air of pretention or facades to help ward off those who don't need what they offer; the absolute best food and absolutely most unadulterated dining experience in the area. Doing that at price point that is pulled from the 90s as if defiantly showing the area that quality doesn't get dictated to those who can afford to spend more.
an institution. cash only. vibe is very cozy and staff is great. the food... the food is immaculate. you cannot order wrong, as everything is cooked perfectly. great bar staff as well 30/10
