"This BYOB, right off Passyunk Avenue, has a handful of pastas, some family-style mains like chicken milanese and lamb shank served on a bed of pesto risotto, and a dining room that (on a sunny day) gets a ton of natural light from its massive windows. When you’re there, make sure you have one or two pastas on the table. With shareable options like their fettuccine tossed with jumbo gulf shrimp and a buttery cream sauce, it’s a great place to spend your birthday with a few glasses of wine." - candis mclean, alison kessler
