EaterJanuary 8, 2014Having proven to be one of the most inventive and beautiful restaurants around, Serpico could be just the thing to turn South Street around. [Eater 38 Member]
Keren Veisblatt ToledanoOctober 7, 2018With dark interiors, and a open kitchen, this hidden gem on a South St. is always delicious. Great service; shared plates. Don’t miss the beautiful diver scallops, aged NY Strip, or Japanese eggplant!
Moo JuApril 13, 2014The lamb was much better w/o the eggplant condiment. Goat cheese sorbet was nice - but make sure you have a bit of mint with each bite. Deep fried duck leg was perfection. Raw scallops were a delight.
Philly.comDecember 27, 2013You must try Cope's corn raviolo. South Street chef Peter Serpico uses the Pennsylvania staple, along with chorizo, white cheese, pickled and roasted onions, sour cream and lime in his ravioli. Read more
Philadelphia MagazineAugust 5, 2014Start with a bowl of wilted shiso leaves, charred pea tendrils, and sugar snap peas whose pods, bearing icy cucumber pebbles, float like little green canoes on a clear dashi broth. Read more
Niffy SpectorNovember 27, 2013Everything was sensational but highlights include the fried duck leg, sunchoke salad and raw scallops. Do not leave without dessert - rocky road and apple cake will blow your hair back!
tanya raupachOctober 29, 2014Food was delicious. We sat at the kitchen bar and guessed what dishes were being made. Great night even though the ac unit rained on me a little.
Emily GrossNovember 4, 2015One of the greatest dining experiences out there. Beautiful environment, amazing team and inspired dishes. I'm rarely this wow'd by a meal but Serpico is sheer brilliance.
Tamkinat FirozMarch 1, 2015Amazing food and ambiance. Peter Serpico takes his food to another level. Try the long hot ramen. It's amazing 👌👏👌👏👏👌- Caroline ChungMarch 5, 2016Nice restaurant, good flavors and atmosphere. Ask for foie gras alternatives, they are happy to substitute.
Sarah BartAugust 11, 2013The manager, Rich, is a super awesome dude. And so is the bartender, Brian. Plus the diver scallops were impeccable and there's a cocktail with Maneschevitz.
Slaveiko SavovDecember 23, 2014Amazing chicken wings, different varieties of flavors, very crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. Everything is tasty!
Nik JaxSeptember 17, 2013Leave your culinary inhibitions at the door. Food & service are great. Excellent wine list. Try to sit at the chef's table if you can.
Aydin OdyakmazNovember 8, 2013If you come here you should sit by the counter and have the tasting menu. It's very light and nice small portions giving a lot of flavours.
Matt www.Travelyaps.comApril 4, 2018This place is amazing!!!! Totally worth the trip. Something you’d expect to see in NYC or Chicago!
Barrett LaneAugust 24, 2013Get a seat at the counter to watch the kitchen in action. Order the deep fried duck leg and the yuzu curd.
DK DavisAugust 7, 2013Egg custard caviar and Elysian Farm lamb ribs. For dessert must order the Toasted Apple Cake.
Nicole RodenbaughNovember 1, 2014So I can't suggest the Tasting Menu. I was hoping for some of the menu highlights. Lots of fishy scary salty stuff instead. Order what sounds delish from the regular menu.
