Entering the Saloon, a family owned restaurant since it opened in 1967 is a bit like stepping into Philadelphia's past. Dark oak paneling, shiny brass and authentic local antiques create a warm congenial and casual atmosphere. The choice of two comfortable dining rooms each with its own vintage bars make dining and conversation a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily. The Saloon is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar and restaurant with a national reputation. And the parking is FREE!

    Incredible evening as usual. A Philadelphia classic that gets even better with age. Food is only surpassed by the quality of the team!

    Food and service were excellent as always. Saloon is one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia. Langostinos, veal-stuffed poblano peppers, and bone-in veal parmesan are out of this world!

    Juules our waiter was excellent and described the specials perfectly. The clams rigatoni alla vodka and scallop and filet truffle specials were amazing. The blackberry chipotle margaritas were great as well.

    One of the most underrated Italian spots in the city. The atmosphere is so cool, and the service is great. Food is 10/10 as are the cocktails. When you're done dinner it's worth heading the upstairs bar for after dinner drinks.

    We had a wonderful dinner at the Saloon. The service was particularly outstanding. There were four of us and all of us had different meals and agreed the food was delicious. We had among us the eggplant parmesan, veal piccante, pasta bolognese, and strip steak. The desserts were wonderful as well. The entire evening was delightful. From appetizers to coffee it was all outstanding! Ambience food and service were perfect. We will be back soon!
