The Best Bars and Restaurants In The Gayborhood - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"There aren’t many Italian spots in the neighborhood, so if a hankering for pasta hits, Little Nonna’s is the place to go. They have a spacious, twinkle-lit garden out back and candlelit leather booths inside where you can pass around plates of gnocchi, chicken parmigiana, and a creamy vodka rigatoni that’s topped with peppery garlic sausage. Because it’s one of the more popular spots in town, be prepared to make a reservation early—especially if you want the Sunday Gravy, packed with slow-braised short rib and broccoli rabe. If you’re not a planner, you can always grab a seat at the bar for an order of garlic bread and fontina-stuffed meatballs." - candis mclean
