The 15 Best Restaurants In Old City - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"This Spanish tapas bar has been around for a while, but is still one of the best places in Old City for a last-minute date or even just a drink after work with a few friends. There may be a wait on weekends, but stick it out for seafood paella with squid ink bomba rice and peppery grilled half chicken. You could easily spend an absurd amount of money here on larger plates. Prioritize the smaller snacks like seared scallops and lamb meatballs. These mostly cost less than $20 and they're better than the big boys, anyway." - candis mclean, alison kessler
