Mediterranean
The pillowy ricotta and semolina dumplings in spicy Calabrian arrabbiata have become something of an obsession in Fishtown, and that kind of word-of-mouth is hard to fake. This upscale Mediterranean restaurant draws from the spirit of Corsica, so the room feels warm and coastal rather than stuffy, and the menu follows suit. Named Esquire's Best New Restaurant of 2024, it earns the attention without seeming to try.

Storzapretti
“Everyone raves about the storzapretti — the pillowy ricotta and semolina dumplings drenched in a complex arrabbiata sauce of fiery Calabrian chilis and savory guanciale.”
Philadelphia Magazine, 2025 -
Swordfish brochettes
“the swordfish brochettes, kissed with fire and served with a dollop of citrus labneh, hark back to the island’s citrus orchards.”
