“This was my first time time dining at La Collina and I am looking forward to returning many times! Everything was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful and elegant. Our waiter, Manny, was professional and attentive. He was the best! Our food was delicious and plentiful and even included really good Italian bread. Finally, it was a treat to dine at a restaurant where you can have a great meal and have a conversation without shouting. Bravo, La Collina!“

“Awesome food, especially the baratta!!“

“Hadn't been in years but glad to have returned. Started with house white wine and a cocktail for hubby. Shared their Caesar salad, then we each had a pasta entre: ravioli with butternut squash and linguin with clams. Also shared a mushrooms side and foccacia. All the food was delicious! Ended with sharing a cannoli and a cappuccino. Overall great experience in a romantic setting (2-person booths in the lower level) with an our wonderful server Rachel.“

“Great atmosphere, fun pasta options and perfect service!“

“We had a beautiful time celebrating a family friends wedding service was the best so was the food.“

“Amazing atmosphere with incredible service and great food! Thank you Bellini!“

“Great food- attentive waitstaff.“

“Friendly service and great food. What more can you ask for ?“

“In from va beach for vball tournament. Local friend showed me around and I was lucky enough to land here. The short rib with asparagus and potatoes as side was nothing other than amazing. My 2nd favorite meal over 51 years of life. The only reason there is one piece of Rib on plate is because I couldn't picture the next day without the taste.“

“Stopped in from out of town. This is exactly the coffee shop you're looking for. Quick and informative service. Roasts and pulls well executed. Food was super delicious with a full spectrum of options and flavors over an uncomplicated menu.“

“Cider Belly is truly one of the best spots around. Incredibly friendly owners, superb cider, and a fabulous atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough!“

“Did the Porchetta dinner which you have to reserve ahead of time. It is a great value and lets you try a bit of everything. The Porchetta is served with tortilla like piadina which allows you to make the most wondrous little bites. Though called pork belly porchetta, this isn't some sort of unrendered fat glob that lesser restaurants sometimes serves. This is more like lightly cooked bacon that just slaps. If you have any self-control, try bringing some home for a crisped up porchetta and eggs breakfast.“

“Great spot for Happy Hour (lasts until 6pm), and love that you can make a reservation in advance. Service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. They were quick to clear things which was helpful since we were at a small table. Atmosphere is cozy. We got happy hour drinks (rose, red, and a Venetian spritz) as well as two of their cheese boards. The Gorgonzola stuffed figs were a bit intense as the name might suggest, but we liked what they had otherwise. Spritz was $9 Wines were $7 Boards were $9 each“

“This bar curates a good vibe. The music is awesome. I Shazammed most of it. The closer you look the more cool, custom, design work you notice in the bar. The drink menu is perfectly rounded.Staff and service is def above average and friendly.The food menu may be too limited for some but I tried and enjoyed:MusselsBaked ClamsBread+ButterRoast beef sandoFriesBurgerThe fat burger is among the best in the city, but it's a weekly special (plz make it a regular thing). The roast beef sando is also incredible but I just like burgers way more.The fries are done to perfection. Someone in a lab coat tested all the kinds of fries and cooking methods to get to this point.“

“Noted as a wine bar. But much more. The menu is limited but imaginative, very good and large portions. We found it on our last night in Philly. But we won’t wait until the last night when we return.“

“can't wait to go back hard to describe.. it was unique.. everything we ordered was so elevated.. 5 star service.. best dirty martini I ever had .. this restaurant is a winner.. get the cheese plate dessert“

“Had dinner at Bar Sera for the first time in 2023-06-16 for a 7pm reservation. We got seated right away, not waiting at all. All our drinks and food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. We had the best server named Rachel. She had many tables but still was amazing, very attentive and would engage in conversation with us as. She made the dining experience so much better than any restaurant I’ve been to in a while. The food overall was amazing. I highly recommend this place. If you can, ask for Rachel, she won’t disappoint.“

“Visiting Philadelphia over Easter. Ended up at Prunella Sunday afternoon. The Honey Fitzgerald cocktail was amazing! Ordered the Caesar salad which was a great surprise to the tastebuds, and the pizza was just so damn delicious. The service and atmosphere was perfect. Had dinner the previous evening at The Capital Grille, but I enjoyed Prunella for the casual feel and experience we had. Prunella will be first on my list when visiting Philadelphia next. I just loved everything about it!“

“For someone who never leaves reviews, I HAVE TO with this place. For starters, our waiter Matthew (Matt) was so fun and comfortable. Loved every second of his atmosphere. SECONDLY, the food was to die for. The kona rub steak has been on my mind since I ate it. Price was phenomenal when you get a beautiful seat, amazing food, and fun energy. 10/10 RECOMMEND“

“This is a great place to unwind. It is very nice inside. The esthetic feels very modern yet vintage and classy. It has something for all types of individuals. Dancing with a DJ late into the night if you prefer. Also live music playing before hand whatever you request and a hint of comedy to make you laugh. I highly recommend checking this place out and you can't beat the hours if you don't work a normal 9-5 this place also offers this type of entertainment on weekdays, which I have found to be a rare find in Philly! I went on a Wednesday night. It was very lively, I stayed until 10pm. I can imagine it is an even more happening place on the weekends and can't wait to check it out on a Saturday or Sunday. I almost forgot to mention the food was delicious and just the right portions. Thank you Vinyl.“

“This place has the best cozy vibe in the winter. Perfect for a date night, especially if you're celebrating something. I loved the tasting menu. Everything was delicious and felt very fancy. The cocktails were also delicious and our server was amazing. The only qualm I have is that it was pretty pricey.“

“Amazing Caesar salad and cocktails. Ordered two pizzas and loved one and wasn't too hot on the other. It wasn't bad at all - just not my flavor profile. The mushroom pizza (my normal go-to) is served with wilted greens that had an off flavor that was really bitter. Again: not bad at all - just not my vibe.“

“Our server BOBBY was AMAZING! If you have “employee of the month” he deserves it. Probably every month. BRAVO- we will be back!“

“Great little spot with an eclectic wine selection and solid small plates. Sitting outside of Fishtown Social with a glass of wine is a perfect way to spend an afternoon in the neighborhood. Hopefully all the construction doesn't crush your vibe though. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly and can usually point you in the right direction if you aren't the biggest wine drinker. Bonus points here when they have oysters. Check it out and enjoy.“

“I hosted my 30th birthday at Jet back in November 2023. The service was extraordinary. From the start, communication with Jet was timely, helpful, and easy. Emily, the manager, was a delight to work with and even made little menus for my guests. The bar packages were extremely reasonable and I was allowed to bring in my own decor and birthday cake. We selected the drink package with a signature drink and the red wine mule was DELICIOUS. The snacks were a hit and everyone really enjoyed the drink options. Adam, our bartender for the night, was so friendly and helpful! I can't say enough about how wonderful Jet is, and I'm so glad we have such a great local spot close-by.My husband and I are also members of the wine club at Jet and they have such a fun wine selection and newsletter. Jet regularly hosts creative events and are such a benefit to the neighborhood.“

“The romance of it all! The candlelight! The seasonal cocktails! The frosted coupes! And tapas style dishes that will make you want to try everything on the menu! The best damn crudo in town. I will die on this French hill. Go here when you want a well curated and tasteful escape or to have an intimate convo with a dear friend.“

“My friend and I came across this lovely winery while out and about for New Year’s Eve (2024). We snagged a seat at the bar. Andrew was a great server, Very friendly and personable. I would like to come back for their cuisine, however they have an array of a wine list! I tried a few from dry to sweet and processed to ask questions, they’re extremely knowledgeable and proceeded to even look for an ice wine for me just by mentioning it. so far my favorite would be the house rosé. (and I don’t usually like the dryer side). Thank you for this experience, I am looking forward to many more and happy new year!“

“Great steaks and Piano player“

“Great place. Outstanding avant garde selection of records to purchase paired with a cafe, bar, and live music venue. Incredibly friendly barkeep who only added to the experience. Stop in to listen to a rotating selection of vinyl records whilst having a pint of local beer. Or just have a coffee. Wonderful space which deserves a hat tip.“

“Friendly atmosphere . Great food and great service.“

“Brett welcomed, did a follow up and ensured we had the best Anniversary. We drove from Virginia, 4 1/2 hours to spend an evening and it didn't disappoint. Xavier took gracious care of us and Kiahna went above and beyond to make it a night to remember. Thank you. It was better than the great expectations we had.“

“Great Happy Hour! Amazing drink selection and apps. Great quality for the price. We go there a lot for HH then catch a movie at Ambler Theater across the street. Wish they would change the hours to 4:30-6:30 for their HH though. Movies are usually at 7 and hanging there for an hr before film starts is a bit of a wait.“

“First time dining at this restaurant and it was awesome from the waiter to the food even the atmosphere was chill and intimate. I am recommending this restaurant to everybody who reads this thank you Panorama for the great experience and hopefully will see you soon.Parking: Parking lot is right down the street from the restaurant.“

“Delicious wines and ciders!“
