"After spending a few hundred dollars on seats so the Philadelphia Orchestra doesn’t look like ants, you need a reasonably priced restaurant. And that’s where Mercato, an Italian BYOB, steps in. You can get pasta big enough for two for under $30 (go for the short rib ravioli) and starters like fontina-stuffed meatballs for under $15. If you want a sweet curtain call, get the better-than-average tiramisu and chocolate cake for dessert." - candis mclean
