Best Authentic Restaurants in Northwest Philly

What a gem! Loved the decor and ambience. Food was amazing - recommend the ricotta appetizer and the gin and tonics!

Our first time at D’Angelos but it won’t be our last. If you love Old School Italian, this is your place. Service was very professional and polite, ambiance was charming and our entrees were delicious. The only negative was we didn’t care for the bruschetta or the roasted sweet peppers. The bread for the bruschetta was not toasted and with the tomatos and mozzarella on top, it made the bread soggy. The roasted peppers we ordered were supposed to be sweet but the were just green peppers that were roasted. They were tasty but not what we thought we were getting. The main dishes were fantastic! I ordered the Ziti Asparagus which was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever enjoyed. Friends ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and also raved about it. A definite must restaurant! We will definitely be going back.

We’ve dined at this gem many times and it was a no-brainer for a wonderful valentine’s date for us. One of the most impressive aspects of Burrata is the consistency in the food and service quality. It’s many of the same people year after year who recognize you even if you’re only there a few times. They’re a well-oiled machine that can handle a full house with efficiency and a relaxed friendliness you can feel from the moment you walk in. The food is always amazing and the service exceptional. We always leave feeling happy and saying, “that was sooo good!” We are grateful to have a place like this nearby.

Sura is a nice space. It has a cool vibe but is not trying too hard to be hip. The food was good and priced on par with some jtakeout only Indian Restaurants around. We also had leftovers. Service was very good, pleasant, and attentive but not intrusive. Dined on Valentine's Day, and they had a few good, unique cocktails. Spicy Margarita delivered as being spicy and sweet. I just wish someone would offer vegetable pakora that isn't just fried spinach. Seems like the standard anymore. I haven't had a good one ever since Minar Palace closed. Otherwise, it's a great spot.

We enjoyed Parc on a cold, snowy evening in February. The restaurant was cozy and warm, and the feeling was too! Our server, Jose, was great - friendly and with just the right amount of check-ins. The beet salad was yummy, with lots of beets cooked to perfection and a great mix of flavors. We both enjoyed Trout Amandine - a large portion with a hearty helping of haricots verts. The cranberry walnut bread was also delicious! We will go back tomorrow to buy a loaf to take home! If only the glass of wine wasn’t so pricey. But who can have a meal like this without a glass of wine?
