Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in East Falls

Wonderful service Didn’t feel rushed at all Wonderful food and cocktails!

We were greeted, seated and then treated to a lovely dining experience. We started with a couple of the specialty cocktails-Romarin and Nouveau Basilic: their pour was generous as our drinks lasted through our meals. A bonus of a basket of bread was brought to our table, such a rarity! Baguette, sourdough and what seamed a seasonal bread with cranberry and walnuts with beurre---seemed such a treat! Our waiter was attentive and made well informed dinner suggestions after asking us our preferences and we enjoyed the beef bourguignon; duck a l'orange and roasted chicken. Parc has made our top 10 list of places to eat while in Philly!

It’s always such a pleasure to dine at Melagrano! Our server was from Italy and was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu. The food is so fresh and delicious and the portions are generous. My husband had the lamb shank and he said it was one of the best he’s ever had- the meat just fell off the bone! This has been and continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in town.

Great neighborhood place. Consistently good food and great service. VERY LOUD!

Unfortunately, we got a fantastic table on the very last night that the black squirrel will be serving dinner. Our server was fabulous and friendly as always. The food was fantastic. We ate the green green salad, tandoori, wings, fish, and chips and had fabulous cocktails! I will miss this place so very much and I’m so sad that they are closing.
