Devon Hyer: The Tomato Bistro is one of my absolute favorite restaurants! Only been there twice so far but I cant wait to go back. Everything on the menu sounds so delicious but risotto fritters are my favorite!
Emily Erb: We came for dinner with a Groupon and I'm so glad we checked it out! Amazing pizza, beer list is awesome. Service was OK; our waitress was training someone, and everything was on the slow side.
Thrillist: TTB's got an ever rotating menu of brews (try them all!) to go with all the small plates ("Fantastic" Chicken!, Belgian Waffles!) you'll be eating. Read more.
Meghan LaMountain: Make sure to try the parsnip risotto and uovo pizza (both can be made vegetarian) so good. Salted Caramel Budino = Bomb.
Paige C: We came here for a private event and the food was phenomenal! Beautiful decor, friendly staff. What more could you want? Definitely order the risotto balls and the salted caramel dessert!
Elyse Estrada: The meatball is insane! Fusilli pasta is great and bigger than you think. For two people you're good with 4 items so you can save room for dessert. Split some quartinos so you can try a few wines.

Cate Barrett: Fancy cocktails in pitchers, and crowd pleasers ranging from fish and chips to Shepards pie to crab risotto make this place a must - experience
Erica Nardello: Great brunch menu. If you're thinking about a savory dish, go for the English Breakfast. If you'd rather have a sweet dish, choose the Scotch Pancakes. A nap is the perfect follow-up.
Philly.com: Keep calm and carry on at this kitsch-filled English pub near Rittenhouse Square. Head upstairs and check out the "dog room." Read more.
