    We were seated promptly and host asked if we had brought wine! Ohohoh! Restaurant does not have a liquor license. Italian food without a glass of wine did not seem right! Luckily host was able to tell us on request where we might buy some (5min walk). Our orders were excellently prepared: pastas for each of us. I had linguine neri—-a favorite of mine and I would say it was the best version of the dish I have had! They were not skimpy on the lobster and crab in abundance The serving was enough for dinner and lunch the following day!

    Highly recommend! We ate here the night before the Philly half marathon and could not have picked a better place! We arrived early for our reservation and were taken to our seats right away. Food was delicious, filling, and fairly priced. We enjoyed our meals so much we considered going back for our second night!
