Sonia M.: The lasagna is amazing and can feed an army. Could not make it to dessert but the Tiramisu looks amazing!
Visit Philly: Established in 1899, you're standing in Philadelphia's oldest Italian restaurant and one of the oldest in the United States.
Kandis Kovalsky: One of the BEST Italian restaurants! This place has been around since the 1800s! Authentic homemade mom/pop style sauces/food. Try either the gnocchi Romano or baked gnocchi! The tiramisu is the BEST!

American Restaurant · Washington Square West · 15 tips and reviews
Dee💗Stacy: Found this place by accident was very good. Beautiful garden atmosphere doesn't look like philly. Grilled shrimp and meat and cheese board phenomenal.
Betty Mak: While gorgeous outdoor dining, choose a day that's not busy and you'll have good service. Call in advance if you want to make sure that they aren't hosting a private event for the chef's friends.
Jorge Díaz Largo: Plates are small/medium size — so the sum of a 3-course dinner can go up $65. There's a cheaper way though: one main course and a plate of fine awesome different cheeses. The staff is marvelous.
