Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in University City

Solo diner here. I had a wonderful experience, with little but significant surprises here and there in terms of courtesies. The staff was outstandingly detailed, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to my every need. The restaurant is very cozy, adequate for a date, a celebration or a solo diner. The food was exceptional, and it did not miss in any regard; I was impressed and fascinated. I highly recommend anyone who truly appreciates good food to eat at Vetri.

We shared just about everything on the menu and loved it all. Can’t wait to go back.

We had another "over the top" dining experience at Philly's number one restaurant, Jean Georges. From the moment we entered the downstairs lobby we noticed all the Christmas decorations & how beautiful it looked. When we entered the lobby of the hotel on the 60th floor, the decorations were absolutely jaw dropping and our jaws continued to drop as we entered the bar area & the Sky high lounge. We enjoyed some cocktails at the bar before our dinner. We had such a lovely warm greeting from the hostess who welcomed us back. That really set the tone for the entire evening. While we were waiting for Michael to come over, Sarah, our server from our last dining experience, came over and said hello and gave us another warm greeting. It was like being with old friends and it was really great to see her. Michael, was the perfect gentleman right through dinner maintaining a fine balance between being professional and yet being extremely jovial with us. Our crab dumplings and risotto appetizers were so tasty. The chef got extremely creative with the crab dumplings and it paid off in spades, it was such a unique appetizer. The Seabass, lamb and lobster were all plated so beautifully and had an awesome blend of flavors. The passion chocolate dessert was a perfect ending to a wonderful meal. We still remember the deconstructed German chocolate cake from our last dinner which was the best of all. Each person that came to our table to either deliver the food or clear the table was so respectful and courteous. All in all, the venue, the phenomenal service, quality and taste of the food is simply the best in Philadelphia. THANKS to everyone for making it such another extraordinary evening for us !!!

Excellent experience Great food Great service Good vibe at bar

Absolutely AMAZING! As someone who bought their sausage from Fiorella’s I am blown away by how much of the original charm they kept. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint. First visit was outside, tonight we were indoors. So happy I requested indoors. While enjoying dinner I really got a chance to look around and reminisce about old Fiorella Sausage and my visits as a young girl and a married woman. Oh and those monkfish arancini… delish. The rigatoni with Fiorella sausage and the ricotta gnocchi to die for. Everything was wonderful. Can not wait to go back.
