|---|---|
Allegro Pizza - City Avenue |
Excellent Pizza. Best Eggplant pizza I've ever tasted. When I'm in the area, which is almost never, I always eat here. Authentic Italian pizza. |
Mustard Greens - Second & Bainbridge |
Great Crispy Duck, if you like duck. Excellent Chinese restaurant, not your standard greasy chinese menu. They also have Chinese beer to go with the food. |
Jim's Steaks - South Street |
Some swear by Pat's Steaks, but, I like Jim's as well. Although, you've got to be sure to get Provolone Cheese and not that cheap Kraft Plastic Cheese in a Can, when you order a Philly Cheese Steak. This Cheese War is religious so be careful. ( Actually, I don't care what cheese you eat, just don't force me to eat that plastic stuff. ) For a real Sicilian cheese stake you put Hot Peppers and Hot Sauce on it too. |
North Star Bar |
Nice place near the Art Museum. Casual place to hang out. |
La Grolla |
Good Italian Restaurant. It's hard to pick a good Italian restaurant in Philly. Many have sold out to become "Spaghetti in a Box" restaurant's. It's just too much work to make pasta the way Grand ma did. Here's one of the hold outs. General Notes about Italian Restaurants in Philly: |
