    Always open with Whipped Ricotta. Brunch is awesome as well as dinner. Outside seating is great. Killer late night Happy Hour. Staff are fantastic. Love this place.

    The Cucina Preferiti gives you the best bang for your buck, and allows the chef to do his thing. And of course, this place has fantastic pizza and an excellent wine selection.

    Not sure why everyone thinks this is expensive -- $14-16 for a large, amazing pizza is a steal! Spicy Ham pizza is a must. Definitely get the Whipped Ricotta as an app.

    Burratta pizza is amazing. Fried artichokes are a "must-have." And if they have the pea soup, don't sleep on it, it's heavenly.

    The patio has a good view of the river. The dog park adjacent is great for your pooches while you eat. And the food is good, to boot.

    Can't go wrong with any salads or pizza. The mushroom zuchinni pizza is one of the best in Philly!

    The Blonde bartender is a bit rude but if you can overlook her, the food is the TRUTH! Artie, the chef, is awesome.

    $6 for a 12 oz draft is pretty outrageous. Will not be back for drinks.

    Overpriced. But Wednesdays are half priced wine bottles, so that lessens the pain a bit.
