π Elma β A Cozy Italian Spot in Philly π¦οΈ
π 431 E Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125 The restaurant is quite small with limited seating, so reservations are recommended π . Portions are on the smaller side, so you can order one or two extra dishes compared to usual ππ½οΈ. π Chicken Wing, Salsa Verde, Lemon β $22 Highly recommend these fried chicken wings! Crispy and perfectly fried, with a seasoning thatβs different from typical Asian flavors β definitely worth a try πβ¨. π¦ Fried Calamari, Castelfranco, Bagna Cauda β $19 Fried squid served with slightly bitter radicchio. The calamari itself was a bit bland for me, but my dining companion enjoyed it! π¦π€·ββοΈ π’ Polenta, Moliterno, Peperoni β $19 Italian fried polenta and cheese balls β fragrant and tasty, though not my personal favorite. π Strozzapreti, Vodka Sauce, Crab β $31 I always order crab pasta if itβs on the menu, and this one did not disappoint! π¦β€οΈ Most crab pastas Iβve tried have a slight tangy note, and this one does too β but it blends harmoniously. Personally, I think Wilderβs crab pasta is a tiny bit better, but this is still a solid recommendation! #GlobalFoodie #DinnerTonight #Philly #PhillyFood #PhillyEats #FoodieDiary #PhillyLife #ItalianFood
