Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

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.

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday at lunch which features an outstanding and very interesting healthy menu. The hotel holds great memories for us since my Mother-in-law lived at the former Penn Widows home for five years. Situated in Fishtown near my husband’s former home, we were thrilled to see the brilliant restoration of this historic site. I only wish my in laws were alive to see how the Anna Bel restaurant / hotel is so welcoming. Great job!

We went to Bastia for brunch on Saturday. It was one of the best experiences we ever had at brunch. Three of us enjoyed the pre fixe brunch experience with so many tastings of many different dishes, and all were so delicious. Can't wait to go back!

Food and drinks were amazing. It was really loud but I guess it because it was labeled one of the best, and for good reason!

I had Shawn as my server and he was nothing short of phenomenal. The food was outstanding and it felt like we stumbled upon something special. I can't wait to return. Make sure you order the Skate Cheeks.

Ambiance felt like a cozy, chic family dinner by the fire. Cocktails were excellent, the milk punch with the labneh foam might be one of the best drinks I’ve had! Seafood and pasta was so fresh and complex flavors. Makes me want to go to Corsica and the Mediterranean asap!

Bastia is a gem! The food, ambience, and hospitality are all on point. I recommend ordering family style so you can try as many different dishes as possible. They are all so unique and thoughtfully crafted.
