15 Places In Philly To Have A Last-Minute Group Dinner In Philly

"Usually, when you want to remember an epic trip, you grab a t-shirt or endlessly sift through your camera roll. But for the Philadelphians who went to Mexico City and loved it, they can just head to La Roma. With brick walls, candlelight, hanging plants, and pictures of the Colonia Roma all around, the cozy Port Richmond restaurant is inspired by the famous neighborhood. The menu is a mashup of Italian, Japanese, Mexican, and other cuisines you may find around the famous neighborhood. But our favorites here are the chicken empanadas, arancini stuffed with kielbasa and gouda, and short rib tagliatelle ragu. And with an impeccable drink menu and impressive tequila and mezcal lists, it’s a casual place to walk into with a group of friends, sip on a cocktail, and forget you’re right off the Delaware Expressway. " - candis mclean, team infatuation

The Coziest Restaurants In Philadelphia

"If you can’t decide between excellent chicken empanadas or crispy arancini, but know you want a cute space with lots of plants, exposed brick, and warm lighting, La Roma should be on your radar. Inspired by a neighborhood in Mexico City, the candlelit Port Richmond restaurant has a menu that’s a mashup of Italian, Japanese, Mexican, and other cuisines. It’s both casual and affordable, with lots of Spanish guitar coming through the speakers, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner with good tequila or mezcal. " - candis mclean

This place just continues to go above and beyond expectations. Every time we go, it’s better than the last and we make a date night here on the regular. Mimi and La Roma made our first date night here so special we just keep coming back. Denver steak, branzini, arancini, lobster risotto, burgers, brunch and awesome craft cocktails. Fantastic margaritas. Service is stellar. Personal touches and genuine interest. We are so proud to live here and this place will be so special to us. Thank you, La Roma!

Went here for the first time tonight and was truly impressed! The restaurant itself was warm and cozy. The service was exceptional. And the food was 10/10! We ordered the mussels, pierogis, and branzino and could not get enough! Their special cucumber martini was also refreshing and tasty. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu!

I don't know why this place isn't packed every night. Outstanding food, excellent cocktails, cute ambiance and very fair prices. Best steak I've ever had in my life (including capital grille, Ruth's Chris, fogo de Chao, butcher and singer, and my mom's). Do yourself a favor and plan your next date night here! Highly recommend the skirt steak, pierogis, spicy tomato pasta, and salmon.

We’ve been here twice and both times were delicious. This is our new favorite spot. They have the best calamari in the city and the skirt steak is amazing. So is the lobster risotto. Honestly, there hasn’t been one thing that we tried that we haven’t loved.

I have been going to La Roma for over a year and a half. Beautiful restaurant, Amazing team of people working here from the front all the way to the back. I’m a regular who sits at the bar and just talks to the owner Chris who is the BEST cocktail maker in the business! La Roma is an amazing spot to take your partner, loved ones or even a cute dinner date with a group of friends

A cozy little Italian restaurant in the Port Richmond area. Very clean with a tasteful decor. The calamari was excellent, perfectly tender with just the right amount of spicy kick. Definitely top notch here. The mushroom pierogi were simply OK. I may be a bit picky here since I've grown up eating homemade. I make them from scratch and I've sampled pierogi all over Port Richmond. There are worse, there are better, so we can call these these middle of the road. The chicken was well seasoned and tasty. The garlic mash were also outstanding with all seasonings and flavors in perfect balance. The ribs were perfectly cooked, tender but not mushy. Very respectable and better than many I've had in the NE region of the country. My problem is that I've lived and traveled throughout the South and fancy the dry rubbed and smoked ribs of that region. Northern style ribs will rarely ever have that level of depth and complexity of flavor. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience. If you're in the area, La Roma is worth a try.

La Roma is a nice addition to Port Richmond! It's located inside a former corner bar. The renovation kept a lot of the former bars character, but upgraded it a little bit. The lighting and decor give it a casual comfortable vibe. The outside seating tea in the front is very cute! I was here with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend. The staff is amazing. The cocktail game is strong with a rotating cocktail list as well as staple cocktails. The pineapple Caipirinha was yummy. The watermelon margarita was refreshing! Our server accommodated a few special request which we really appreciated. She also checked back to be sure it was ok. She made the night an even better experience. The food is delicious! They have a good variety of appetizers and entrées. We tried the pierogi, empanadas, mussels and calamari. Pierogi were nicely fried with creamy filling. The empanadas were flavorful and crisp. The calamari was perfectly fried and tender. The mussels were good with a delicious broth. We happy to have the bread to soak up the broth! The rib eye was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. The mashed potatoes were excellent! The branzino was also perfectly cooked and delicious. The short rib ragu is my husband's favorite and it didn't disappoint! The only downside was we were too full for dessert. There's always next time!

Interesting cart that was at the Pierogi fest at Olde Kensington. They had a ton of Mexican non alcoholic drinks that sounded amazing. I didn't have any but they looked really good (especially in the heat). I had the Kielbasa and mozzarella cheese Pierogi which was really good. The kielbasa was good quality and tasted good with the cheese. The sauce is really good (tasted like cilantro). The coleslaw was pretty good as well (I really liked the purple cabbage in it).

I've dined here 3 times and look forward to many more visits. The menu is beautifully crafted with an eclectic mix of Italian, Mexican, and a touch of Polish. Every dish I've had was excellent. I especially enjoy the seafood soup. The cocktails are amazing--high quality ingredients and flair. And the desserts are always impressive. Staff is lovely. And I found a close by, free street parking space each time. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming whether for a sit down table meal or a visit at the bar.

THE FOOD WAS SOO GOOD. I especially loved the salmon guacamole, first though it was a weird combo but after having it with the sweet sauce and fresh raw salmon it was delicious. they waiters were sooo sweet the whole time so wonderful service. We went on a slow day with very little people so got to enjoy ourselves but still wonder place. food was soo flavorful and it was all gone after lol. 10/10 would come back.

Stopped in tonight (Monday) for dinner with a friend. We had both never been here before. Pleasantly surprised that they offer happy hour until 7pm! We both ordered a drink and an appetizer (fried calamari and muscles) from the happy hour menu. I enjoyed the salmon for my entree. Everything was really good! Service was great!

What a lovely experience! If this is any sign of what's to come in Port Richmond, then the restaurant scene has a bright future. Cozy environment - great staff - incredible food. Menu covers a good mix of offerings, with a nice variety of meat & veggies options for both appetizers and entrees. Their plating was INCREDIBLE, and the food tasted even better. This is easily a meal you can expect in center city. Port Richmond is lucky to have this in their neighborhood. While they stick to their Mexican roots, many dishes pay homage to the Port Richmond (Polish) neighborhood, like their pierogies with cilantro cream sauce or the arancini with kielbasa. Their porkchop was next level! Would highly recommend. They also have a nice bar area, with creative drinks and craft beers. Can't wait to go back!

Found this cool neighborhood spot on a Sunday afternoon walk. Super friendly service from Frankie who recommended several great items. They don't have a huge wine list but had a few very drinkable selections. Their menus is so interesting that I can't wait to come back and sample more items. Pictured is the salmon guacamole which is fresh and fantastic, drizzled with the right amount or balsamic to give it a lovely not-too-sweet finish. I'll be back and will tell my friends to be sure to check it out.

Run, don't walk! This place is incredible. I've been here twice for brunch and I can't wait to be back for dinner. The food was incredible. The empanadas were not to be missed. My favorite dish for brunch was the chorizo and gravy biscuits. The use Mexican chorizo and the gravy is flavored perfectly- over high standard biscuits. We each got a drink- Im so impressed with the execution of these drinks. They stand up to some of the best cocktail places with bigger names backing them. The service is outstanding. Out of this world. I couldn't have felt more welcome and at home. The ambiance is basic. It feels open, warm and clean.

La Roma is a pleasant surprise! The food is deliciously different in a very good way! The renovations give La Roma a cool, relaxing vibe. Great place to chill with friends or take a date! The price points are fair for quality & the "on the ball" servers are extremely friendly! Not a bar to watch a game as there are no televisions. Just a great place to enjoy a great dinner!

Another date night at La Roma! Finally changed up my appetizer and entre choices! The Korean Beef Short Ribs app was SO good. And the Lobster Risotto was delicious down to the last bite. I finished the whole thing! Once again, the cocktails were amazing and we enjoyed everything we ordered!

Great little bistro in the Port Richmond neighborhood. Good wine, beer, and cocktail selection. Small menu with a nice variety of seafood and meats. They have a couple vegetarian (but not vegan) pasta dishes and salads. As a pescatarian who eats limited dairy, I was able to find a couple good selections. Friendly service.

La Roma is a refreshing little bar/restaurant. We love their happy hours and are planning a brunch there soon. Food is impeccable, ambiance is top notch and the staff are some of the nicest people you'd ever meet. The drinks! If you try it for nothing else , go for a cocktail.
