    The food was better than passable, the environment was great, and the opera singing was mostly fantastic and it’s the reason for the 5 stars. Price to food quality ratio did not match, an avg NYC mid tier Italian exceeds this, which is sad given the price and that Philly is now a true foodie town. Fortunately, the history in Creed/Rocky lore, an elevated old school Italian red sauce joint feel, and the quality opera performances boost this place. I would return based on the complete experience, but not the food alone.

    Out to dinner with 5 friends - ordered all different dishes on the menu so we could try a variety of things. We shared everything. The flavors, the textures, the presentation - all were amazing. Each dish had distinctly unique and delicious tastes. The cod dumplings were tender and delicious, the bao buns were flavorful and tasty, the orange chicken parm - cooked perfectly with that hint of orange that made it tingle (in a good way) on your tongue. The brisket was simply amazing - falls apart on the fork and is the tastiest brisket I've ever had in my life. Each dish brought out different flavors and textures and were all delicious. 5 out of 5 for sure! Oh - and the server was astute, delightful, helpful, present and available when desired and responsive!!!

    We’ve dined here before, but had Pizza and it was delicious. I tried the pasta special this time which was crab sautéed with pasta. It was so dry, I could barely eat it. I should’ve sent it back, but I don’t ever do that. I think we’ll stick with the pizza from now on.
