Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Northwest Philly

Staying at West and Main.. so thought we would check out this place within the hotel. The environment is very soothing and relaxing. We were seated by a window which was even better. Our cocktails were amazing. I had the braised beef ribs which was probably the best meal I’ve ever had in the past 10 years! The meat fell apart in my mouth. The taste was amazing. My husband had grilled oysters and the mushroom soup which was also one of the best I’ve had in a long time! Our waitress was sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend having this experience. Yes it’s a high-end restaurant and the prices are a little higher than normal but for the experience and the quality of food, it’s totally worth it.

This has been one of the more enjoyable outings I’ve had in a while. The service staff is exceptionally nice. They were accommodating, helpful, and so kind. We were running a few minutes so I called and let them know- they were super understanding and told us to get there when we could but mostly to get there safely. The table next to us that the previous couple had just left and I asked if we could move over, that wasn’t a problem. We had ordered some happy hour items and took our time ordering and there was no pressure to get everything in the first time around. The food was so good, as expected but for me the service and kindness really set the night up for a good time.

Great artichoke appetizer. William is an amazing server.

Amazing food and experience. Loved the whole experience.

My partner and I first discovered Pietramala in spring 2024, and have found ourselves going back almost every time we are back in Philly. I want to stress that we are not vegans (though we are pescatarian); however, every dish at Pietramala is innovative and transcendent, showing you what is truly possible with the ingredients that you might not have ever considered or thought about. Everyone who works there - from the chefs to front of house - are all fantastic, and the ambience is always just right. Cannot recommend Pietramala enough
