EXPERT TIPS BY: Sharon Rigney
Philadelphia Local Expert

Outdoor Dining: "If head bartender Andres is working, sit at the front bar and ask him anything you ever wanted to know about alcohol as he prepares your fresh-ingredient cocktail."

Best for Outdoor Dining Because: When dining in Old City, a stop at this delicious Italian restaurant will not only deliver mouth-watering food, but a lovely outdoor experience as well.
