We don't understand all the good reviews. The food and service on our visit was sub-par. Based on the prices and reviews, we expected some yummy moderately upscale Italian. As far as food, we started with bruschetta which was burnt on the edges. For the main courses, we had bucatini (which was a good portion size but nothing special in terms of taste) and ravioli (which was a really small portion and not tasty at all). The wait staff was also weirdly unaccommodating. We asked if we could order appetizers to start while we waited for 2 more members of our group of 12 to show up and they said their policy was to take the entire order at once. When we asked for bread at the very least, they also said they couldn't bring that to our table until after we ordered. Overall a very strange, disappointing experience. There are so many good Italian restaurants in Philly but this is not one of them!
