"Located in an old hardware store in South Philly, Mr. Martino’s Trattoria is exactly the kind of Italian BYOB that out-of-towners expect when they visit. There’s homemade pasta cooked in a one-woman kitchen, tons of antique furniture, and a staff that treats you like family. Almost everything is a must-order, but choose wisely—they’re only open monthly (as a pop-up). Spots for generously stuffed veal ravioli and scallops in risotto fill up fast, so arrive by 4:30pm or call for reservations on a day when they happen to be answering the phone (which isn’t often)." - Candis R.
