"Open since 1899, this is (arguably) Philadelphia’s oldest Italian restaurant. Between the chandeliers, black and white photos, and converted rowhome dining rooms, you’ll feel the old-school charm right away. Eat something classic, like gnocchi romano, fettuccini filetto with filet mignon and sun-dried tomatoes, and baked lasagna. And even though the interior looks kind of formal, you can eat here without dropping some serious money—none of the entrees cost more than $30." - alison kessler, candis mclean
