Joe Ulrich: While everything is great at Tria, try the three cheese tomato panino with mushrooms added; for dessert, add bananas and/or strawberries to the Nutella panino!

Meg Power: Yum!! The burrata and meatballs are fantastic as are the arancini--why are more people not giving love to the arancini??
CITY GRIT: Don't miss the Burrata with Roasted Carrots, Uovo Pizza, or the Salted Caramel Budino (rated best dessert in Philly)!
