Irwin's
Top 11 in Top 14 Best Restaurants in the USA
The romance is a pleasant surprise. A vast patio with science-lab tables and plastic school chairs, lit night string lights and the moon (if you're lucky), with panoramic views of the low-slung row houses and the Walt Whitman Bridge, is located atop an old art deco high school.
Then a gracious staff brings out chef Michael Ferreri's sophisticated Sicilian fare—a fritto misto with juicy prawns and fried lemons, handcrafted al dente trofie pasta twists, and a superb caponata. Natural wines are served, Prince performs, and South Philly becomes the hippest, most romantic neighborhood in the city. Irwin's is located at 800 Mifflin Street in Philadelphia, PA. —K.S.
