This place is a hidden gem! I hope it stays that way so I can have it all to myself. We tried multiple dishes and everything was top notch homemade excellence. From pasta to chicken to seafood this joint is a real sleeper. Excellent service real feel neighbor ambiance and delicious food. Thank you! Will be back next week.

Everything I tried was delicious! The eggplant Caprese salad was beyond amazing and I already can’t wait to go back again. They also have a dinner menu after 5pm with a few more entrees that I did not see, but will try next time I go. UPDATE: I came again today for dinner and got the eggplant rolantini and it was very delicious as well. And the creme brulee cheesecake was sweet, but not too sweet, and not super heavy. I highly recommend it if you like cheesecake, like me!

Oh my gosh, visiting Philly for a work trip and was wanting to try a cheese steak. It was late on a Sunday and we gave this spot a try and oh my gosh did they exceed expectations both in food and service. It was a bit slower it being a Sunday night but all of the staff we interacted with was so kind and went above and beyond for us. If i have the opportunity again I will definitely come in I felt like family. Thank you so much!

Collette is awesome. Sorry, I call you Colleen in the video. I say it every time, but I keep forgetting how neighborhoody neighborhood bars are. Surprisingly good cheesey cheesesteak. Nice Liscio’s roll. It comes with fries. The roll needs to be scooped. Every bite meat and cheese got pushed out the back. Nice spot. Most people were eating.

I was able to watch SB LIX at Nitty’s, and it was a very enjoyable experience. The servers were personable, kind, and quick. The food was very good, especially the cheesesteak. They had a great environment set up for the super bowl and made the experience memorable. Overall the bar had a very personal feel, all the staff were friendly and kind, and I would recommend to a friend. I hope to be back soon!

Five adults went here on a Thuraday evening before a hockey game. We had a reservation and we're seated early too. The space is small, so the sound was loud from neighboring tables. We ordered the flatbread pizza appetizer and aranchini balls which were good. Then we ordered our main entrees. We waited a little longer than expected for our entrees but they were packed and it seemed like they were cooking to order as they should. The steak was phenomenal. The chicken marsala looked good and so did the chicken parm. I had the eggplant rolled up with ricotta and spinach with the Vodka sauce on top. Honestly my meal had 1 flavor to it and that was the sauce, which is good. But I could have gotten a pasta with the sauce and got the same flavor. So even though the waitress loved that dish, I wouldn't get it again. I ordered the holiday chocolate espresso martini and it was just okay...I've definitely had better. The waitress did amazing even though she was the only one for the whole room. (I'm guessing they were busier than expected due to the hockey game). There was a food runner who was constantly up and down the stairs. There was a girl at the front entrance that was just sitting there (as no one was coming in constantly). I feel as though she should have helped clean dishes off the tables or get drink refills. They have Pepsi products even though the menu and reciept said coke. They have a full bar, tvs, open garage door for warm days.

Went for dinner last night, everything was excellent from the service to the food. Eddie was our waiter, he was attentive and friendly. Wife had the chicken nachos and I had the chicken parm entree. Both were excellent. Cash only but they tell you that as soon as you sit down, not a big deal. ATM on site. Prices were reasonable as well. Definitely will be back. Great neighborhood spot.

I was in town for work and was desperately looking for a quick bit for lunch. I ordered the double cheeseburger and fries and it was SO good! I appreciate the quality of food and professionalism from the staff. I definitely told my coworkers and I also look forward to coming back
