Neighborhood gem

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.

Incredible foray into Brunch by the always exceptional team at Bastia. MUST have the “Torn Croissant”!! Out of this world delicious. As was the Corsican Breakfast. All nicely paired with a Bastia Mimosa. Naturally!

The food here is absolutely amazing. It was so difficult to decide what to have but settled with fresh sardines, langoustines, boar ragu, skate cheeks and shaved artichokes..Service was 3 star Michelin level..what an asset for Phila.

Excellent, attentive service. Beautifully restored historical building. The food was ok, but too expensive for what we received.

Awful experience! Beginning with the host & his sidekick ignoring us, then calling our party “friend” repeatedly (bizarre). The bread was stale & the food all had too much fruits & sauces covering them. The only exception was the steak, which was ordered without the “special” preparation. I’m sorry, I never do this, but it was that bad!
