(Unless you are trying to go to sausage and fried bananas. Plus you get access to their salad bar. Chinatown, which is worth a trip of its own.)
Gran Caffe L’Aquila Step 5: Get off at your stop and enjoy the city! The hard part is over, now go have fun. Everything about this restaurant is authentic Italian – even the interior, which was built in Italy and shipped across the Atlantic to Philadelphia. Even better, the menu has something for everyone. It is filled with fresh ingredients, homemade food, and fun gastronomy like a Parmigiano gelato. The best way to finish off this dinner is with two scoops of their house-made gelato.
Max Brenner Philadelphia
Max Brenner is an entire restaurant devoted to chocolate! Most of their dishes have some form of chocolate: everything from chocolate ranch to waffle fries dusted in cocoa powder. Your $35 will go even further here, as you get four full courses of chocolatey goodness. Ocean Prime
For simple upscale food, Ocean Prime is a great choice. Or any steakhouse, really. Other good options are the Capital Grille or Del Frisco’s Grille. It’s hard to beat a perfectly cooked steak.
Spasso Italian Grill
While most restaurants only give you a few choices for restaurant week, Spasso lets you pick almost anything from their regular menu to build your four-course dinner. Since it is some of the best Italian food in the area, don’t pass up the chance to dine here during restaurant week!
