Philadelphia | 4.5-Star Italian Cuisine Near University City

I first heard about this place after seeing several posts raving about their squid dishes! I didn't expect the pasta to be just as amazing! šŸŒŸšŸŒŸšŸŒŸ Highly Recommend the Gemelli and Fregola Pastas Fregola is a type of pasta shaped like tiny pearls. It has a unique texture, and when mixed with the egg sauce, it becomes incredibly rich and flavorful! The Gemelli, with its twisted, knot-like shape, is perfect for holding sauce. Every bite is bursting with flavor. This place pairs it with pesto (the classic Italian green sauce), but instead of pine nuts, they use pistachios, which add an extra layer of richness and texture! šŸŒŸšŸŒŸ Housemade Meatballs You can tell these are handmade! They're packed with flavor, juicy, and have a great texture. The whipped Ricotta cheese on top is creamy and pairs perfectly with the meatballs for a smooth and satisfying combination. It's not mind-blowing, but definitely above average. šŸ˜­ Chicken Caesar The addition of fried chicken to this salad feels a bit out of place and gives it a "fast-food" vibe. Additionally: ā˜‘ļø BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) is allowed. ā˜‘ļø The menu changes seasonally! ā° They offer brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, and dinner on weekdays. šŸ“ Trattoria Carina 2201 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19103 It's a 20-minute walk from University City, and the streets along the way are incredibly picturesque! It's a perfect spot for a city walk to get there. #GlobalFoodReviewContest #AmericasPartyCorner #food #StudyingAbroad #Philadelphia #AroundPhiladelphia #LifeInNorthAmerica #PhiladelphiaLife #ItalianCuisine
