ianneli's is the best. i love this spot the old brick oven in the wall the sign the staff Vincent and just the feel of it is an experience that you rarely get anymore anywhere. it's like it all contributes to the end product and that end product is always exceptional. the only problem is it's only open like 15 days a year so u gotta be on your toes and pay attention to those ig posts to make sure you answer the call and get your order in. Whatever is on the menu is always amazing, whether it's a soup, tomato or topped by or an occasional cutlet or something. I have never ever been disappointed. The last couple times I got a tomato pie cause that's really sort of what they are famous for, but they also have gravy, including a crab gravy which sometimes i order to california where i usually live. but they also sometimes have the jumbo lump crab pie and i thought i was dreaming but it was on the menu sunday and i got one and Vincent hooked it up beautifully and really loaded it up for me. I got home and me and my dad went to town on it it was perfection. light bread structure low grease perfectly seasoned and the crab texture was so perfect almost like that of perfectly cooked lobster. I saved a few slices for my friend in Elkins Park and drive it out to them and they can't stop calling to give me praises for lacing them up with some.
all i can tell you is this is one of those bucket list spots in philly u have to go before u die if u can make it happen and get there on a day they are open. i never miss one and i will be at the next and the next and the next til it ends and i pray that never happens but just in case i will be there. also the cannolis and zeppelin are some of the best in the city come with cash and don't skimp. it's worth it and this is one of those u gotta pay to play experiences. Thanks again Vincent can't wait til the next one.
