Radicchio Cafe — Restaurant in Philadelphia

This place was incredible, first time here and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Staff was very friendly, authentic Italian interactions which I always love.

The artichoke appetizer was amazing, it's always nice to see restaurants serve their artichoke hearts whole because you know they are taking the time to turn them. Flavor was great as well!

I got the "their version" chicken parm and what a great dish. The sauce tasted great, but the way they lightly breaded the chicken was what made the dish. It was like they put a breading blanket over each of the 3 chicken breasts on my plate, so satisfying to eat. Chicken was tender as well, always nice to have a tender chicken breast as some places will dry it out. As a final note, the portion sizes for the pasta (which is what my partner got) looked average, and the chicken parm I got was above average in terms of size...which was perfect for me.

The place is a bit close quarters in terms of other tables being around you, however this didn't hinder our experience, we actually like to embrace this type of "family" environment and everyone around us was very kind. Will definitely be back here...

I will NEVER have dinner at this restaurant again. I went there on a date. I watched in horror as the bus boy prepared a plate of cheese and olives with his bare hands. He scooped the olives with his bare hand from a white container in the refrigerator. Without washing or wiping his hands he cut the cheese. He placed the plate on my table. I advised my date not to eat it. The bus boy later returned to clear the table in preparation for the main course. He took the plate with the uneaten olives and cheese. He placed it on top of the counter next to the refrigerator. Our eyes locked and he left it on the counter. When our main course was delivered by the waiter and he thought my vision was obscured, he used his bare hand to scoop the olives from the plate and returned them to the container in the refrigerator. I picked at the main course and prayed to God I would not wake up with explosive diarrhea accompanied by the sweats in the middle of the night...you know the kind you get with food posoining? I can't help but wonder what happens to the...

As new residents of Old City, Philly we walked over with our BYOB and were blown away by what a delightful experience we had! Javier our waiter and other wait staff from those clearing dishes to keeping water glasses filled were incredibly attentive. Additionally the food was Great - So delectably delicious and on point! It was truly, one of the most warm, friendly, sure to be a favorite place, and take family and friends to kind of extraoridnary dining experience. It really left us with a great memory, plenty of smiles, laughs, so relaxed, and feeling so good to have such a place close by! Kudos 10-fold to Radicchio Cafe whose extra efforts to create such an atmosphere showed with a full-house that many seem to also appreciate.Thank you for the warm...
