Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in South Street

Love eating here. The portions are so ample that you can easily share an entree. Food is delicious.

We were seated promptly and host asked if we had brought wine! Ohohoh! Restaurant does not have a liquor license. Italian food without a glass of wine did not seem right! Luckily host was able to tell us on request where we might buy some (5min walk). Our orders were excellently prepared: pastas for each of us. I had linguine neri—-a favorite of mine and I would say it was the best version of the dish I have had! They were not skimpy on the lobster and crab in abundance The serving was enough for dinner and lunch the following day!

Highly recommend! We ate here the night before the Philly half marathon and could not have picked a better place! We arrived early for our reservation and were taken to our seats right away. Food was delicious, filling, and fairly priced. We enjoyed our meals so much we considered going back for our second night!

I took my girlfriend to dimmer and a show for an early Christmas gift. I was very nervous about picking a place to eat before the show as I am mew to Philly. I did I ever het so lucky. Bistro LA Baia was hands down one of the best experiences we both have had. The food was absolutely amazing. I give it a 5 star all the way around. It is a must place to enjoy a byob. Please give it a try and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

We love LaViola Bistro and La Viola Ovest. The food is consistently wonderful as are the servers. True neighborhood gems. BYOB makes the value incredible.
