- TTimothyGoldPhiladelphia County •35 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe've dined at a.kitchen about five times and it has become one of our favorite Center City places. On this visit we enjoyed the confit duck leg and the garlic gnocchi for our mains, in addition to a squash soup and a salad for starters. All were delicious and especially so because our server suggested wines that complemented each dish perfectly. It amazes me that some people think of a.kitchen as a burger place -- it so much more!More infoa.kitchen$$$$• French American• Center City•4.6
- MMarkGoldPhiladelphia County •27 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBeen excited to try this new restaurant for a few weeks, and it did not disappoint. They were very warm in greeting us, starting from the host to every employee we walked past on the way to your table. Service was great. They were well staffed, trained and well coordinated. Even as the restaurant got busier, they were able to handle it without missing a beat. I had the chicken Il Gusto, it was amazing and packed with flavor. Nice size serving and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a great experience and this will now be added to my rotation. Highly recommend you check them outMore infoIL GUSTO$$$$• Italian• Old City•4.8
