Well thats even more the reason to make sure you smash it before she goes back, if not it's like throwing money away.

Yeah, so it seems. It's pretty much on every top 10 list for italian restaurants, so that doesnt really surprise me.

I'll update on how it was Wednesday night (probably thursday morning.)

That a boy, I knew you weren't spending $$$ on this girl without smashing it.

+1

continental midtown is alright, extemely expensive for the amount of food you get, but its really good. they have cool architecture which is cool

I would recommend Tinto.. it's a Tapas restaurant which means you will get to share and try many different things! Check out the web site. The food is excellent!

www.tintorestaurant.com/

jjm4life 04-20-2009 03:31 PM

We'll see about ITB

poisonivory 04-20-2009 04:20 PM

show b15 04-20-2009 07:15 PM

starr resturants are going downhilll IMO.

Try cuba libre if you want something different and fun, its all cuban food. Amazing drinks, etc.

Another one of my fav's is georges on the main line. Its owned my george perrier (le bec fin). and has great food and an outstanding wine selection.

If you want italian head to south philly, there are a TON of tiny resturants that have amazing food and great prices! one of the best imo is villa de roma.

Melting pot is "fun: but kinda gimmickey and WAY overpriced. Sign up for opentable.com. You can book through them, they have great specials and reviews as well as resturants categorized by price/types of food/location/ etc.

Which restaurant?

OutlawzPrez 04-22-2009 12:38 PM

Also try Twin Bays Cafe in Phoenixville Pa. Its an old house turned into an upscale restaurant. Some say its haunted (The lights flicker constantly)
