yes to the margherita pizza and anything with octopus; their use of chestnuts is superb - get anything with chestnuts in it
Lombarda pizza, anything octopus, beet & goat cheese ravioli, chicken liver rigatoni, and the pistachio gelati are all outstanding. Get half portions of the pastas and try a few.
Octopus, brussels sprouts, and calamari pasta all rock. Read more.
Octopus. Nuf said.
Calamari. Hummus.
Come with a group of people and share. Everything here is delicious. Who knew I liked octopus?
Try the tender Spanish rock octopus and arugula spritzed with sunny Meyer lemon, and the silky black cod with maitakes and sea urchin. Read more.
Anything they do w/ octopus is worth getting.
Really creative dishes. Everything is good and I don't think you can go wrong. Cobia was amazing, dry aged strip steak with seasonal veggies was fantastic, and both the octopus and kamachi apps rock.
Trendy atmosphere, great service and awesome food!! My favs are the calamari salad, shrimp and lobster spring rolls, chilean sea bass and dim sum donuts for dessert!!!
The Zen-gria is refreshing. Try the Asian Caesar Salad, Crispy Calamari Salad, or Chicken & Ginger dumplings for apps. The Sweet & Crispy Jump Shrimp are delicious w/a side of wasabi mashed potatoes.
Calamari salad and BBQ pork tenderloin are to die for!
Four Square Special? Not so much. Must order two entrees to get it. Plus they are out of calamari.
Make sure you check in to get the free calamari!!
Great location overlooking Rittenhouse Square. Order the jumbo lump crab cakes service w/ whipped yukon gold potatoes and grilled asparagus. Be sure to check-in - calamari is often free if you do.
Radicchio is RadiccYES in my book! Grilled calamari and octopus are fantastic! Lobster ravioli, Filet mignon, seafood salad are out of this world. Cannoli and tiramisu are better than any bakery!
Always fantastic! Updated menu with some classic specials making the list like grilled octopus. New Osso Bucco special is excellent!
Don't leave without trying the grilled octopus!
I can't believe no one has mentioned the calamari salad! One of the best dishes on their menu. Huge portion. Drool worthy!
The Crispy Calamari Salad is generous and delicious!
Octopus cooked to perfection and the tapas size was the perfect amount. Followed with lump crab pad Thai - all of it delicious. Upstairs is a little quieter and the porthole windows are fun!
Salted caramel budino is sooooo legit! Also love how tender and tasty the octopus is.
Great service. Great salads. The octopus entree was excellent.
Octopus salad and gnocchi out of this world.
Best Octopus in the City
You must order the octopus!
Grilled Octopus is very tasty...gr8 service 2!
my favorite spot in Philly. white sangria, grilled octopus, grilled scallions, mushroom flatbread..nothing here is bad. its all good.
Try the octopus, the pernil asada, and the fried vanilla cream. You'll live with a happy stomach. Read more.
If you don't mind spending a little money ... come here and order the tasting menu (55 pp?). You will leave fat and happy. Ask for the octopus.
The Maryland crab toast, oysters, and grilled octopus were all standouts.
Everybody seems to order the chili-glazed octopus (with Granny Smith apple and endive) at Greg Vernick's Rittenhouse bistro. Read more.
Don't miss the Chili-Glazed Octopus or the Artic Char with Crispy Skin and Dill.
Branzino has the most incredible menu!!! 5 stars, try the calamari! Unreal!!
The calamari is amazing as well as the branzino, the sauce is to die for. However, you must save room for dessert! The tiramisu is the best I've ever had
Philly's best BYOB. Even better than La Viola! Get the grilled calamari appetizer and the gnocchi! Beautiful and spacious inside compared to many of the other BYOBs in the city.
GET the Meat Board and Grilled Octopus over baby arugula as a starter, the burger, steak or trout are amazing. Don't skip out on the butterscotch brittle chocolate brulee
Excellent little brasserie with chef Paul Lyons (a graduate of Barbuzzo and Jamonera). The substantial $15 steak frites is an early hit. Try the octopus, and say yes to the crispy chickpea flatbread. Read more.
Try the old fashion. Perfect balance of flavors!
You must get the crispy calamari salad and the Godzilla roll.
Try the Grilled Octopus - Fingering potato, pickled red onion, olives, baby radish, cherry tomatoes, arugula, pancetta vinaigrette
Woah, everything was great. Tuna Slider was amazing (perfect for someone who is cautious about sushi), pingu roll- amazing. I would go back tomorrow if I could. Mentioned the raves about the funnel
GET THE GRILLED CALAMARI !!
Fried calamari very good, strip steak could've been better
I enjoy food very much. I was very excited about the grilled calamari that I had ordered, but extremely disappointed when my waitress dropped off fried calamari then disappeared
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
