"L’anima is a Graduate Hospital spot from the people behind Melograno, and unlike most other Italian BYOBs in Philly that are dark and cramped, this one is huge and well-lit. Basically, it’s perfect for meeting a few friends and complaining about who works the most hours. The food—like the Roman-style pinsas and creamy cacio e pepe—are the best reasons to come here. The second best reason is for the huge outdoor patio. It’s the perfect spot for a summertime date, and if there’s a sudden drop in temperature, they even have heat lamps so you don’t have to move inside for your last glass of wine." - candis mclean
