Best Authentic Restaurants in Penn's Landing

Food was amazing but the ambience was top tier! Our server got a little overwhelmed with tables but the rest of the staff did a great job to check in. We ordered the whipped feta/ bread and the olives for an appetizers, and although not a fan of green olives- these weren’t bad! We ordered the tortellini and the bolognese for our main entrees and they did not disappoint. Definitely finish with the Crème Brûlée but I’m excited to try their other desserts as well. Everything was amazing.

David Falcone is such a fantastic performer and really made mine and my date’s night. we stayed his whole performance!! also the pumpkin burrata & acorn squash was DELISH 🫶🏻 <— that’s for you david!!

Very much enjoyed our Monday-evening dinner with friends. On a Monday evening, it was quieter toward the front, but the back room was energetic. The decorations were festive, perhaps for the holidays, perhaps year-round--we'll have to return to find out! Service was terrific and the food delicious. We shared: - Guacamole de la casa (3 guacamoles: mango, spicy, and regular), each of which were tasty and everyone had a different favorite! - Chips con 3 salsas (red, green, and borracha), each of which were tasty and I couldn't pick a favorite! Two diners had the Quesabirrias tacos and one the Lengua tacos--everyone was pleased with their order. I tried the Carne Asada from the grill and while the sweet plantains were prepared in a drier/crispier style than I prefer, the meat was perfectly seasoned. We shared an order of churros and tres leches cake--the latter was drier than expected, but the 3 churro-lovers thought they were terrific (crispy on the outside, softer on the inside).

We visited Paddy Whacks on Saint Paddy's day. The places was busy. We were able to find a table for four. The place was packed with people celebrating Saint Paddy's day. The waitress was very attentive with all the commotion going on throughout the place. The food came out in a timely fashion, and it was pretty good for as busy as they were. Would definitely come back.

The menu had a lot of interesting and tempting choices. Our selection (lobster enchilada and steak in chile morita). The menu was good value The drinks were nice. The service was friendly. Our table was not ready when we arrived but that was fine as we sat at the bar. We visited on a weeknight and the place was very busy so reservations are a must.
