Philly.comAugust 3, 2014The recent move to a larger space hasn't dimmed the magic of the city's best Italian BYOB. If anything, the long and lively rustic space has only improved the trattoria Read more
James RussellJuly 3, 2013Great spot for Italian BYOB. Try the Polenta appetizer and the Cotoletta alla Senese - breaded chicken breast with mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, and tomatoes. Delicious at reasonable prices.
EmmaJanuary 7, 2018Very under staffed and timing of everything is off. Didn’t get our menus until 15 mins after sitting down. Got our apps (calamari and salad) then we got our bread and oil. Very strange crowd.
Philadelphia MagazineJuly 2, 2012Don’t miss the gamberoni—sautéed shrimp over polenta with gorgonzola sauce. The combination of creamy sauce, warm starch and sweet shrimp is exactly as good as it sounds.- Annie XuMarch 3, 2019Love this BYOB! Decently priced and large portion sizes. Recommend for small groups and date nights
- Chris WallaceNovember 5, 2012The Wild Boar Ragu is not as great as Billed. Not much meat, not big or bold. If you want pasta, Go with the seasonal ravioli!
- Great food, always consistent, BYOB. The homemade pappardelle, the steak (yes, the steak!) and the tiramisu are favorites. Tell Ann, the hostess that Fred sent you from 4square!

"Purchased Reserved Seat, sat right in front of the stage. All three comedians were great. Only bad thing is they don't serve Miller Lite! Would def go again!"
Debbie Bailey - 7.8
"I would say this is my favorite bar in Philly, they serve well crafted drinks, in a very loungy couch-filled bar. The staff is very kind, and you must try the gin fizz."
Lucas Feijó - 8.4
"One of the best spots for brunch in Philadelphia, The Continental features retro décor and even better salads as one of the most distinct spots in Philly."
