The Philly BYOBs That Get The Job Done - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Giorgio On Pine in Washington Square West checks all the Italian BYO boxes: lots of red sauce, local college students drinking too much and talking too loud, and service so warm that you’ll invite your server to your cat’s birthday party. Even on their best nights, lemon will overpower the demi glaze on sauteed veal, and ravioli in a creamy tomato basil sauce tops out at better than average. That being said, portions are generous, they have lots of vegetarian options, and every pasta can be made gluten-free. So if you need lots of dietary options for your group of friends and your craving for pasta is undeniable, it gets the job done. Just don’t forget the wine." - candis mclean, alison kessler
