Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in South Street

I went to La Fontana Della Citta for lunch today and what an experience! Our server Ona recommended the calamari for an appetizer and we were so impressed. The sprinkled feta cheese was a nice touch. Our main entrees blew us away too, no complaints. The star of the show was the service! Ona was there to answer any questions we had about the menu and check up on us throughout our meal. There was never a time we needed her where she wasnt there! Exceptional service, we can not say enough good things about her! I will be taking all of my friends and family to this restaurant and asking for Ona every time!

Went with my son after the SB Parade which was Valentine's Day. I should have realized it was a pre-fix menu which I am not a fan. However, the black linguini with scallops and shrimp was tasty and my son enjoyed the striped bass. I would definitely try it again when there is no pre-fix menu.

What can I say? I made these reservations for the Eagles Super Bowl parade. We couldn’t even get to Broad Street because of the crowd, but an employee looked at my reservation, and let us in the back door. Service was spectacular and warm. Every employee looked glad to be there amongst the cheerful madness. Food was top notch. My table was as described. They put on a show & delivered.

Amazing dinner at LaViola Bistro! Great service and delicious food! Can’t wait to return! So wonderful to find this special treasure in the heart of Center City! Love the BYOB option too!

We enjoyed Parc on a cold, snowy evening in February. The restaurant was cozy and warm, and the feeling was too! Our server, Jose, was great - friendly and with just the right amount of check-ins. The beet salad was yummy, with lots of beets cooked to perfection and a great mix of flavors. We both enjoyed Trout Amandine - a large portion with a hearty helping of haricots verts. The cranberry walnut bread was also delicious! We will go back tomorrow to buy a loaf to take home! If only the glass of wine wasn’t so pricey. But who can have a meal like this without a glass of wine?
