Leisurely cafe by day, Bastia transforms to a Mediterranean restaurant by night and draws culinary inspiration from the sun-drenched islands of Corsica and Sardinia

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tyler Akin

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed chef Tyler Akin is back with Bastia, his stylish Mediterranean restaurant inside Fishtown’s Anna & Bel hotel. Snag a seat at one of the green marble bar tops or at a cozy table by the fireplace to dig into seafood-forward dishes like sea urchin butter tartine paired with playful cocktails and riffs on classic aperitivi. Either way, the all-day cafe is made for lingering, just like his beloved and now-shuttered Res Ispa was.

Have had dinner here and this was my first lunch. Great food and awesome server, but some issues with the delivery of food and drink. Prob waited 15 min for coffee, which was delivered by a runner with nothing (no sugar. cream, or spoon to stir), and tea my partner orderd arrived several minutes later.

This was one of the best meals we've had in recent months in Philadelphia. We know the Bastia folks from one of our old favorites--Res Ipsa--and had heard good things about this place, tucked inside an unassuming, cool boutique hotel in Fishtown. Great atmosphere and ambiance, outstanding service from start to finish, creative cocktails and lots of nicely plated selections to choose from. Our party of four shared all four first course choices, shared a pasta dish, and then had the swordfish and duck entrees (both fantastic). Topped by good desserts and coffee choices. We'll definitely be back...and must admit the idea of a staycation night in the hotel is pretty inviting.

Everything was amazing from start to finish. The service was incredible, appetizers/pasta were amazing (get the skate cheeks you won’t regret it) and our entrees (swordfish, duck breast -the overall winner-, pork belly and veal) were each amazing as well. In regards to deserts the chocolate gelato and the olive oil cake were the champions at our table! We will definitely be back

Wow! Very impressed with our dinner at Bastia! Our group tried 10 different dishes and loved each and every one. The service was excellent and we loved the drinks, especially the huge selection of Amari dessert wines.
