    A great evening out for opera lovers, since everyone on the wait staff is a professional opera singer. Roughly three times an hour, a wait staff person steps up to perform an aria, and the performances are anywhere from good to great. The food measures up to standard South Philly Italian, and the wine list predictably focuses on solid Italian wines. In addition to being fine musicians, the servers are also pleasant, attentive, and helpful.

    One of the best dinner experiences ever. The food and drinks and service was excellent. But the singers were even better and absolutely amazing. This is a “must see” experience in Philly.
