Fodor's Review:

Copious portions of regional Italian cuisine are served in the brick-walled dining room of this early-18th-century granary. Don't miss the acclaimed Caesar salad prepared tableside by the genial owner, who thoroughly enjoys animated conversations with his guests. Tuesday-night lobster specials make the trip to the Society Hill area more than worthwhile.

Excellent, Romantic Restaurant

Posted by MarkPhiladelphia from Philadelphia on 3/15/08
The restaurant is outstanding, it is a very romantic atmosphere. We dined in the wine cellar, which is a private dining room for two. It was very nice, the table set with rose petals and the room lit with candles. The food was perfect, well seasoned with fresh herbs. The sevice was equally outstanding and very caring. Make sure you try the caesar salad which is made right at your table. Great experience.
