intimate and cozy pasta joint. sit inside at the counter, and you can watch the kitchen work to create some of the best pasta dishes you’ll ever have. bring some friends. eat the menu. have a bottle of wine.
menu highlights: tonnarelli cacio e pepe. casoncelli with beets, horseradish, and tarragon.

and now for a less basic rec....
If you're willing to hop on the train to NJ, you are just a 30 minute ride (or 20 minute uber) away from some of the most authentic Italian food on this side of the Atlantic (and Hudson). The menus are seasonal and innovative, but my personal recommendation is to opt for the tasting menu, with dessert swapped for an affogato.
The first time I went, they won me over with a spring pesto flan, and the most recent time, heaps of complementary aged parm. Still BYOB for the time being, which brings the bill down to a price you won't believe you're getting farm-to-table food for.

you can sit outside (no heaters) until your feet get cold talking each others ears off, mapping mutual acquaintances from former lives.

fountain porter is my favorite bar in philly, 6 dollar burgy, the only cocktails you’ll need (martini, negroni, old fashioned, manhattan) solid wine list
then messina social club is across the street, also a members club but it’s the city of brotherly love, think positive thoughts and you’ll get lucky
