What People Are Saying About Fitzwater Cafe
Featured Review

In Short – Disguised by a box-like exterior, Bella Vista's prettiest cafe doubles as a pastry and pasta kitchen for sister restaurant, Saloon. Still-warm banana and chocolate-chip muffins, and gigantic, gooey cinnamon buns stand out among the baked goods. Heartier morning options include a fluffy, roasted red pepper omelette, perfectly crisped home fries, thick slices of homemade toast and freshly squeezed juices. At lunch, simple grilled vegetable and Caesar salads satisfy, though the "PLT" sandwich.
Editor's Tips
- Save Time:
- Call ahead to reserve pumpkin, apple or sweet potato pies during Thanksgiving and winter holidays.
- Know Before You Go:
- Right across Fitzwater Street, this co-owned restaurant is one of South Philly's finest.

Best Kept Secret in Philly!
by cfranz at Citysearch
I believe I have been to almost every place in the city and suburbs of Philadelphia that offers a chicken parm dinner and let's be honest...it gets quite boring. Fear not my friends here is a new place to get that same comfort food that we crave so often with a unique and authentic taste.
This "cafe" has a simple charm that makes you feel as if you are eating a home cooked meal from grandmother on a Sunday afternoon. A chef who can make your meal seem like it is prepared for you and only you. All in all a very special and delicious cafe that I would recommend to anyone.
The items I have tried are the Chicken parm, mussels, potato soup with sweet italian sausage (phenomenal), beets with gorgonzola, bruscetta with pesto and tomato and mozzarella salad. Don't forget the spinach gnocci's and the bananas forester for dessert!! Enjoy!

A Taste of Italy
by Murphy78 at Citysearch
I have been to the Fitzwater several times now and every time we have gone there the food has been excellent. Try the chicken parm or the chicken milenese. I couldn't get enough of the red sauce the mussels were cooked in....and the spinach gnocci's were delicious. The beets with gorgnzola were a complete surprise - We always share a few desserts. The service is top notch. Oh, and the potatoe soup with sweet italian sausage could be a meal. Free parking in the city is just the icing on the cake.

Best BYOB

I couldnt have been happier with my experience at the Fitzwater cafe. It is one of the best byobs in the city. The menu is great. It is true authentic italian cuisine that is also creative and innovative. The food is unbelievable and I love the specials. Service was great too. This will be a frequent stop for me because it is great atmosphere with food that is to die for. There is no menu like it in Philly. I love it.

great italian cuisine
by gina gatta at Citysearch
My friends called for girls night out .I was told we were trying a little cafe in philly . I was excited, a night in the city. When we pulled up to find free valet I was tickled pink. When we entered I was surprised they chose a resturant serving Italian. See we are all Italian and I always think no one can cook like my family.....To my surprise the food was GREAT I couldn't stop eating. My friends were shocked I wasn't complaining instead I was mmmmmmmm all throughout dinner, my dinner thier dinner and if I could of tried everyone food in the resturant I probably would . Ok people if your looking for FREE PARKING, GREAT FOOD AND PERFECT AMBIANCE I suggest fitzwater cafe . I'll be there again next week with some of my other friends. It definetly is a place to share with friends :)
