Great restaurant with a lot of energy. Had the tasting menu which was a great way to graze their menu. The red snapper crudo was delicious. Octopus was tough. Crab spaghetti and NY Strip ($5 upcharge) both quite good. Cauliflower excellent, as were the two gelato scoops for dessert.

Nice wine selection. Excellent service. Reasonable prices.
I went there with friends for happy hour. Good stuff: There is a good variety of dishes on offer and the prices are very reasonable for Center City. The service was attentive and warm (though I wish I was informed about the 2 hr time limit in advance because we felt rushed at the end without expecting it)
Bad stuff: The food is overall mid. The foccacia was actually terrible, super dense and dry and crumbly- tasted like a dinner roll. The cocktails skew very sweet and...
Food is phenomenal especially the agnolotti. The service has been a hit or miss. Some of the wait staff are quite rude, and eager to get you out of there, take away drinks, not helpful with finding veg options, or simply usher you out. I’ve noticed a larger share of ruder staff around happy hour time. But some staff have been so lovely. The fococcia is outstanding.

Great bang for your buck place during happy hour. Great food in general. Mixed service.
