Best Shellfish Restaurants in Northwest Philly

Absolutely amazing dining experience!!! The grilled octopus is by far the best appetizer, our favorite and only restaurant that has it down to a science! The flavor is outstanding, temperature is always just right! I am a loyal customer and always order the house entree “PESCATORE”…you can never go wrong with a dish named after a restaurant….this dish NEVER disappoints. The crab gravy is beyond delicious, shrimp, clams and mussels are always done just right. We also ordered the salmon special which was over a lobster broccoli risotto, from the very first taste it kept getting even more flavorful….This is a must try. Double espressos (with our BYO Sambuca) and their homemade tiramisu was a perfect ending to an amazing dining experience. Aside from the food, the staff went over & beyond….with the change of ownership/management, you definitely feel a positive change in the climate….Asad is so very personable, welcomes us when he sees us and makes us feel right at home. The female server (Armenian, just forgot her name) has a great personality, goes over and beyond and truly cares about the customers. Evan…what an incredible young man….Truly loves the food industry, kind, personable and very engaging! Thank you so very much, Asad & staff, and the amazing chefs/cooks in the kitchen, we never get to meet you, but truly appreciate your talent and thank you for such an amazing dining experience. And to the new ownership, we love the changes to the decor, lighting and overall ambience….Many thanks and all the best and great success. Thank you!

Our waitress Bianca was spectacular ! Food was great -

The hostess cancelled my rsvp when I called & told her I was running a few minites late & was driving. I had to pull over & reenter my reservation. She cancelled it again. ??? Had to pull over & add again...I think she finally got it, that I was on my way.

Nia, our server, was extremely attentive, answered all questions, and her meal recommendation was fantastic! You have a great employee in Nia and would go back to have her as our server.

Great food
