Serpico is a collaboration between James Beard award-winning chef Peter Serpico and restaurateur Stephen Starr. Located on South Street, the 60-seater will have a true neighborhood feel, with cozy booths, counter seating and a small bar at which the full menu will be available.

Serving dinner only, the cuisine is ingredient-driven offering a seasonally evolving menu of playful yet familiar takes on global fare. A small hand-picked list of food-friendly wines will perfectly complement the menu and a quality cocktail program will focus on boutique spirits.

Amazing dinner with the birthday boy! Every dish we had was incredible! From the sun choke, mushroom, lamb bacon and coffee oil soup, to the snail and chicken lasagne with bechemel sauce and walnut Yuzu pesto (licked the plate) to the dry aged duck breast with cabbage stuffed with duck, to the Cala Cala orange panda cotta and apple cake we were blown away! Great service and decor also! #droolworthy #gaygourmet #yummy

Dishes were inventive and delicious, but portions were very small for the prices. Dishes are served family-style, so you need to order 3 dishes per person from the small plate, medium plate, and entree columns on the menu. Highlights were the Deep Fried Duck Leg and pork entrees. The shrimp mousse small plate was too gelatinous, too small a portion for the price and not flavorful - a bad choice. Each of our three desserts was terrific: Rocky Road, apple cake covered in chocolate paired with vanilla ice cream, and an orange panna cotta. The room is a large brick box without dividers, making it very noisy. Service was very attentive and knowledgeable. Wines were limited, but cocktail options were abundant. So go if you seek innovative dishes. My wife is not an adventurous eater, so she looked at the menu and wondered "what will I find to eat here"? Prepare to spend $75+ per person (before tip), and ask detailed questions about the portion size and preparation for each dish. I enjoyed the meal, but not enough to return. If not for the great desserts, I would have left hungry.

Was told this restaurant was the best in Philly and was the most disappointed I’ve been in a long time. Got to the restaurant 5 mins before the time of the reservation (8pm). They told us they were running behind and that we could get a drink at the bar that was completely full and people were already standing next to the bar waiting - I asked if we could sit at one of the 10 open tables for a drink before sitting at our reserved chef’s counter and they declined and we were asked to leave. They called us back 25 minutes later to come back. The hostess then walked us over to the counter, proceeded to tell us the counter wasn’t set yet, then had us wait again. Hostess and staff were unprofessional and unaccommodating. Finally sat down and put in the entire order at 830pm. We were served one of the five courses we ordered and then it took over an hour to be served again. The food was very good but extremely overpriced for what you get. Left the restaurant hungry and with a hefty check over $200 for two people. Will never return.
