I have to admit before Rione opened, I don’t believe I had heard of “Roman-style” pizza, or pizza al taglio. Then again, I’m not a pizza aficionado. According to Wikipedia: Pizza al taglio or pizza al trancio is a variety of pizza baked in large rectangular trays, and generally sold in rectangular or square slices … Continue reading
Louie Louie Bistro & Bar located at the Inn at Penn across from the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania opened a couple of months ago to much fanfare and with good reason. It is a truly stunning restaurant. The interior was designed by Philadelphia based Rohe Creative who … Continue reading
Ardiente is the hot new bi-level lounge and Latin-Asian fusion restaurant located at 33 S. 2nd Street in Old City. It took nearly two years to open with no expense spared on the gorgeous interior. In fact, I was surprised at how much painstaking work was put into even the smallest details and all of … Continue reading
This review was submitted by @GothLauren. Nestled in a little shopping center off of Bethlehem Pike and Germantown Avenue in Historic Chestnut Hill Philadelphia, Banjara Indian Bistro is a warm and inviting Indian BYO located at the top of the hill. Warm tapestries and beading invites the diner inside without feeling too overdone or garish. The menu … Continue reading
This review was submitted by @GothLauren. @Ramen is a newish restaurant located at 4357 Main St in Manayunk serving a variety of ramen dishes. When you first walk in, you are greeted with a sparse, modern interior. The entryway is a collage of Japanese cartoons that open into dark wood and chalkboard walls. It’s a very simplistic set up with … Continue reading
UPDATE: The Restaurant at Walnut Hill College is now French Bistro Perrier. Marc Vetri lamented that he missed Le Bec-Fin in last week’s Behind the Line Philly Mag article. Le Bec-Fin is still very much alive (at least in theory) at Walnut Hill College where “King” Georges Perrier is Master in Residence. In his new role … Continue reading
Grubhub has been around and helping Philadelphians get good grub delivered for many years, at least since 2009 if I recall correctly. I used the site frequently when I lived in the city and it was always a good experience. Especially because it often opened up many delivery options. When Grubhub asked if we could … Continue reading

Like most local food products, I initially discovered Mompops on Twitter. Not sure if I started following them first or they started following me first, but they caught my attention either way. Finding dairy-free frozen treats always makes the lactose-intolerant in me happy! Last month when I was at Whole Foods Cherry Hill, I happened … Continue reading
We were beyond honored to receive an invitation to dine at Phillips Seafood at The Playground (formerly The Pier Shops at Caesars) in Atlantic City. Having experienced Phillips’ Baltimore Inner Harbor location many years ago, we jumped at the chance to travel down to AC to dine at what is one of America’s most authentic and iconic seafood … Continue reading
