    The pasta is hand-cut and the regulars are on a first-name basis with the staff, which tells you most of what you need to know about this Italian trattoria on East Passyunk. The kitchen draws from Abruzzo, the rugged, largely overlooked region where rustic presentation and serious technique are the same thing. Desserts are priced like it's still a neighborhood joint, because it is, and they're open every day, which feels increasingly rare.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • House-cured coppa

      “With everything from the delicate house-cured coppa to the vibrant pomodoro sauce with fat triangoli or Abruzzese sausage and stone-ground polenta, rustic presentations mask intense precision and virtuosity.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
