    Excellent neighborhood Italian restaurant. It competes well with any of the gourmet Italian restaurants in Philadelphia. Interesting, creative menu. It would definitely be more popular if it was on one of Philadelphia’s restaurant rows. A local gem.

    I came for restaurant week, because it's a good way to try out new places. Their take on schnitzel is one of the coolest things I've had in a while. The beef tartare was also really interesting and not like any I've had before. I was under the weather so they let me take the dessert to go, which was nice. The ambience in there is also lovely. This place is like a 10 minute walk from me so I'll be back.

    My daughter and I visited during Restaurant Week. We have been to a couple different Brazilian Steakhouses, but truly, hands down, best I've ever enjoyed. Their salad bar was 10 out of 10. The veggies, soups, seafood selections were staggering. From a simple Caesar, to snow crab legs, to soups, to charcuterie, to ahi tuna. Then the gauchos present the meats. My daughter enjoyed the sirloin, while I couldn't get enough grilled pineapple. Sides were also brought to the table. Fried bananas, popovers, crab salad. There was more, but I can't remember the others. The service was impeccable as well. Plates cleared quickly, fresh plates were brought to the table even though there were more than enough to get one for one's self. The little touches like that made the difference in good v excellent service. There is an indoor parking adjacent to Nabrasa, Restaurant Week offers a deal for parking, but be prepared to pay over $30 otherwise. Excellent food, excellent service and we got the deal of deals.
