Entering the Saloon, a family owned restaurant since it opened in 1967 is a bit like stepping into Philadelphia's past. Dark oak paneling, shiny brass and authentic local antiques create a warm congenial and casual atmosphere. The choice of two comfortable dining rooms each with its own vintage bars make dining and conversation a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily. The Saloon is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar and restaurant with a national reputation. And the parking is FREE!

    My husband and I were looking forward to our dinner at the Saloon. The ambience was fun with a cool old charm /vibe, and the service was welcoming and attentive. But that's where it ended for us. The cocktails were ehh, the food was average at best. The best thing we had was the scallops over a bruschetta appetizer special which was truly delicious and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was good, but overall, it was definitely underwhelming for us.

    Our appetizers were so delicious! We had the radicchio (not for everyone, radicchio has a strong flavor), peppers and burrata, specials of beef carpaccio (not for me but others said it was delicious), and scallops with a mango salsa and the scallops were cooked perfect. My daughter had a special, truffle filet, truffle wasn't overwhelming as it sometimes can be, granddaughter got pescatore but she had to take it home and I had the angel hair with crabmeat that was so delicious. Pasta was cooked just perfect and the flavors mixed well. It was on the lighter side which was good. No room for dessert.

    The Saloon continues to surpass all expectations. There is not one thing on the menu that disappoints. Make sure you save room for their desserts from Isgro's.

    Saloon is my favorite Italian restaurant in Philadelphia. The two-story building and classic decor give it a unique ambience. The service is consistently excellent. I am always impressed that the servers memorize the long list of specials. Their appetizer sampler with Clams Casino, Clams Pavarotti, Langostinos, and stuffed Poblano Peppers is perfect for two people. Their dark rye Manhattans are my favorite cocktail.
