Best Authentic Restaurants in Upper North Philadelphia

Had a great time here. Food was great, our waitress was lovely, & valet Nick was helpful as well.

I just cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our visit to Gran Caffe L'Aquila on Wednesday, March 12. First of all, our special table was ready for us when we arrived, and, of course, we had their best waiter, Mimmo, who was just wonderful in terms of his service and personality. Both the veal dish and pasta with a delicious white cream sauce went way beyond our expectations. The meal was topped off with an out of this world rich Italian hot chocolate that I have not discovered anywhere else in the city. All of the staff is just so attentive and gracious and we are just counting the days until our next visit.

Food was amazing, service was great liked the vibe!

I visit here everytime I visit Philly. It’s a great spot, good energy and most importantly dining alone is heaven here. The open kitchen is one of my favourites. Great vibes, loud music, delicious food, tasty and considered drinks - what’s not to love!

I had a nice Tea time with friends today. The 3 tier tea sandwiches and scones are all delicious. We will be back for sure!
