We opted for takeout since my wife wasn't feeling well, so I walked from our hotel to pick it up. I ordered the Sunday Gravy special, which was quite basic. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t stand out in any remarkable way. My daughter had a generous serving of kids' penne with marinara, which she said was acceptable. Next time I'm in Philadelphia, I would consider trying a different place.

We walked in and the place is very clean. We were able to get in without a reservation. We were waited on immediately. We ordered 2 appetizers one the cheese steak egg roll and the truffle fries. Both great. For our meal we ordered the pepperoni calazone and a cheese steak one. You can split the portion as it's family style. Both great. Left there nice and full for 4 of us. Ate before we took pictures.

It was all fabulous and not terrible expensive. Their wine list is small but the Chianti was good. If I lived in this area I would eat here regularly.
