š„ Wm. Mulherinās Sons | The One True God of Fishtown š
The only real restaurant worth eating at in Fishtown. Iāve added this spot to my personal Philly restaurant Bible. Besides McDonaldās, itās the only place in Fishtown thatās actually edible. We ate around 8ā9 PM, maybe a little hangry, but all four of us ate like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden ā there must be a reason. š Yellowtail Crudo meyer lemon oil, cucumber, chili, basil oil As a Crudo Connoisseur, this moved me. So fresh, not fishy, sauce was perfect ā light, tangy, spicy. Would order 100 plates if I could. š Crispy Octopus ($24) lemon and white bean purĆ©e, spicy arugula pesto Expected a tough, charred leg ā got bouncy, tender, juicy instead. Clearly not pre-made. We ordered another plate immediately. š¦ Grilled Calamari ($24) salsa pizzaiolo Thought itād be basic fried calamari rings ā turned out grilled then fried, crispy yet tender. Also ordered seconds. š Al Funghi Pizza ($26) mushrooms, scamorza, caramelized onions, bufala mozzarella, roasted garlic, aged balsamic As president of the Anti-Pizza League, I only ordered it for the fun name + love of mushrooms. It was AMAZING. Rich but not heavy, salty but balanced. I ate 1.5 slices and wanted to take another home. š Pasta Forgot which one, but the sauce was rich yet not greasy, layered yet light. Magical. š Lamb Loin ($48) roman spices, farro, celery, olives So. Damn. Good. No complaints. š° Tiramisu Not too sweet!! Light!! Delicious!! š· Drinks & Vibe Only had a rosĆ© this time ā need to explore their wine list next. They have a big fireplace seating area ā perfect for groups. ā Final take: Donāt bother looking for other restaurants in Fishtown. Just come here. (And maybe McDonaldās.) #Philly #PhillyEats #FishtownPhilly #ItalianFood #WmMulherins #MustTry #PhillyFoodBible šøš
