13 Places In Philly To Have A Last-Minute Group Dinner In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Located in a converted school building, Irwin's might surprise you with a dining space full of retro furniture and an outdoor patio that’s perfect for watching the sunset on a summery date night. One of our best Italian spots, Irwin’s stand-out dishes are the juicy whole fish topped with citrusy salsa, and an orange-glazed half agrodolce chicken (it’s our favorite roast chicken in the city). Plus, after eating pasta and sipping on wine, you'll probably sit back with your friends and marvel at how they made an old South Philly vocational school feel like one of the coolest places on the planet. You won't struggle to find reservations for Irwin's, but your finger may cramp reloading Salvatore's Counter reservations page for those coveted four seats. They drop the reservations during the first of the month. We suggest setting a reminder or slipping a seat on the end to see if the chef will serve you anyway." - candis mclean
