"When only checkered table cloths, Frank Sinatra's greatest hits, and comically large maps of Italy will do, head to The Victor Café in Passyunk Square. It's a classic old-school Italian place—they even have live opera every night—where you can share a bottle of wine, eat creamy vegetable risotto, and perfect your spaghetti twirling technique. It's incredibly useful for a date night or weeknight when only a tasty plate of carbs will do. Grab an order of the salty veal saltimbocca along with one of their many spritzes and pretend you're at an opera house." - candis mclean
