Best Italian, Best Ribs with BIG portions

by anamin

This little place will surprise you. Their food is something grandmom will make you, with the portions to match. The waitstaff is by far the friendliest bunch of people I have ever seen work in a restaurant. It is like seeing an old best friend. If you are looking for some home cooked Italian food, definately go here. It is also a cute place for a date. I highly recommend going here and trying it for yourself. My recommendations: Ribs are to die for, any dish with their crabmeat, tripe, any seafood dish, escarole soup and definately get the ice box cake. I have been here so many times that I tried just about everything on the menu, so anything you get I am sure is great.

Ribs and linguini get along perfectly at this cozy Italian restaurant.

In Short
Roll up your sleeves and ask for extra napkins: The rack of ribs would frighten Fred Flintstone. The barbecue is sweet, tangy and tender, not as smoky as some Southern places, but spiked with South Philly flavor. Other hand-held favorites include a grilled Italian sausage served with roasted peppers and provolone on a hoagie roll. Pasta dominates the dinner menu, a familiar selection of scampi and fra diavolo are good, but stick to the basics.

Eggplant parm to die for. Overall the food is excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Very good service by a very friendly staff.
