Best Cozy Restaurants in Far Northeast Philadelphia

Every single course was unique and delicious! Recommendation by our server ,Sean, on how to order was spot on. He also suggested the winter Negroni drink and it was fantastic! We started with the salted beets and the hiromasa crudo both were fresh and light. We had the skate cheeks, the texture of the fish was flaky and had a bit of crunch on top. The ricotta dumplings had my mouth watering from the smell as I broke open the first dumpling. It had the perfect amount of heat and a slight smokiness that was so freaking good you want to lick the bowl. Hubby ordered the veal osso buco and raved about it. I had the orata and it was flaky and delicious. Most places that excel at the main food are not so terrific with desserts but at Bastia both the panna cota and the basque cheesecake had unique flavors that were a perfect ending. Service was incredible and allowed us to have conversation but never missed a beat on clearing and presenting the next course. We’ve been to a lot of really good restaurants but Bastia is top 3 of them all. There are a lot of excellent restaurants in Philadelphia and we will choose to return to Bastia.

Everyone and everything was great Service and food was wonderful

Mia famiglia e Io siamo venuti qui per cena e tutto era Molto BUONO. Molto autentico. DELIZIOSO. Moreover, my server (she had beautiful dark hair), in fact the ENTIRE staff was attentive, amicable and informative with menu suggestions.

Unique experience. It felt really authentic, I had never eaten Georgian before. The KHACHAPURI 'IMERULI appetizer was excellent. It reminded me of a really flat calzone with a flaky crust. We shared a few entrees, all of which were very good and different from most other restaurants we have been to, and we go to a variety of restaurants. Overall, a unique and great experience!

The service was excellent and the food was awesome. Everything was cooked perfectly unserved, hot.
