The 13 Best Old-School Italian Restaurants In Philly, Ranked - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Scannicchio's is pretty cramped. So tight, in fact, that you may learn garlic slicing tips from one table, and have strong opinions on whether a stranger should dump her boyfriend at another (she should). The friendly, communal feeling is part of its charm, but so are the crispy calamari, linguine with clams in white sauce, or a smoky pork chop, which are all served in massive “you haven’t eaten in a while” portions. Because of its location on South Broad, it’s a great choice for after a game. Or just skip the Sixers, and come straight here for something that won’t let you down." - candis mclean, alison kessler
