Die besten Bistros in Society Hill

Great meal and outstanding service. The restaurant got a little loud by the end of our meal, but overall a wonderful dinner.

Every neighborhood would be lucky to have a cozy, attractive, Italian restaurant on the corner like Bistro La Baia. The service is impeccable, with a friendly waiter who can be helpful, is efficient, and never intrusive. The food, prepared to order, is extremely delicious--flavorful, pasta done to al dente perfection, and served in a generous dinner portion. Try the bucatini with truffles, the capelinni Johnny Rocco, with fresh tomatoes and spinach in a garlic white wine sauce, and the mussels, deliciously seasoned in brodo. The eggplant rollatini is stuffed with herbed ricotta and also delicious. It's a BYO, so another advantage. Can't say enough about the quality of this gem on 17th and Lombard. Will return often.

Il Gusto was amazing! The food was authentic and fresh. We were in town for a few days and went there twice so we could try more dishes on the menu. The specials were great as well and different each night. Staff was very attentive! FYI it is BYOB which was actually really nice. We brought a bottle of wine. Wish we lived in Philly so we could become regulars!

Lucia's is a hidden gem.... everything is is so fresh and delicious. I have never been disappointed. I give them a five stars!!!

The service was great everything else was great I would recommend this to friends and family!
