Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Northeast Philly

The food was so good! I was apprehensive at first bc I didn’t even know what half the words were on the menu. But after googling a few words the menu was less daunting. Everything just had such wonderfully intense flavors. Even things I don’t typically like, like artichokes were made so uniquely delicious. I had swordfish skewers over walnut pesto with a zesty Greek yogurt and it was excellent. I asked the bartender what special cocktail I should try when my go-to is an old fashioned. He recommended an Islay of Beauty which was a pear/orange interpretation of an old fashioned and was fantastic.

The meal was an exquisite delight from start to finish, beginning with a rich, velvety lobster bisque that was both creamy and bursting with the delicate flavor of sweet lobster. The calamari that followed was tender and lightly fried, offering a crispy, golden crust with a delightful seasoning that enhanced its natural sweetness. The veal roll was the star of the show, tender and perfectly cooked, with a succulent filling of flavorful stuffing that paired beautifully with the savory sauce, creating a harmony of textures and tastes that left a lasting impression. This meal truly showcased the art of fine dining, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and expertly balanced.

I haven’t been here in a few years and decided to return as I’ve always loved the ambiance. I remember the food as being good but not excellent. This time it was excellent as was the seevice and everything about our meal. It seems they have really stepped things up a notch since I was last there. I’ll definitely be back again soon!

Good food and good value for a pre-theater dinner. Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. General commentary for most wait staff these days and a pet peeve of mine- like many others says “are we” when asking “we diners” a question. Not sure who instructed wait staff to say “we” instead of “you” but it’s incorrect. They are not at table with “us.” Endeavoring to Include themselves in the diner’s experience is overly familiar, incorrect and at times condescending. Nonetheless, They work hard. Tip well!

I love the home cooking feel of this restaurant. I’m gluten free, and I found plenty of options. Though the pizza looked sooooo good- I wished it was gluten free. Was a little Greek and a little Italian mixed together.
