Editorial Review for Bistro Romano – by Elisa Ludwig
In Short
Housed in an 18th century granary, Bistro Romano is a dramatic dining experience. The entrance opens to a bar with a copper wall fixture rescued from an old steamer ship. The downstairs dining room is striking: Exposed-brick walls from a one-time tunnel network under Society Hill are now filled with candlelight and wooden booths. Typical seafood fare favorites include mussels and clams that are served with slices of sweet Italian sausage in tomato broth.

I went to Bistro Romano for the first time this weekend, with a few friends, after reading so many positive reviews here on citysearch. It was a Saturday night so we did have to wait a little while to be seated, which was fine with me. We waited at the bars, and ladies let me tell you they're bartenders are both reeally hot, and friendly to boot. After enjoying a few cocktails, we were led to our seats. The service was attentive and friendly and especially quick considering how busy it was. I had lobster Ravioli that was absolutely delicous. For dessert I had the best cannoli EVER! Highly recommend this place to anyone.
Pros: Hot Bartenders, Amazing Food, Friendly Service
Cons: Parking is a challenge
