The 18 Best Restaurants In East Passyunk
"We’d eat the wild boar rigatoni ragu at Irwin’s in a Wawa parking lot if we had to. But thankfully, this glam Sicilian restaurant is located on the eighth floor of the Bok Building. In addition to their great gnocchi sardi and spaghetti alle vongole, Irwins serves juicy whole fish topped with citrusy salsa and half a sticky, agrodolce chicken—both of which are just as beautiful to look at as they are to eat. If it's nice outside, try to get a seat on their outdoor patio. You won't struggle to find reservations for Irwin's, but your finger may cramp reloading Salvatore's Counter reservations page for those coveted four seats. They drop the reservations during the first of the month. We suggest setting a reminder or slipping a seat on the end to see if the chef will serve you anyway." - alison kessler, candis mclean
