Back in May, I made a trip to Philly to see family and my best friend. In between enjoying time family, I had to explore Philly a bit. I'm a sucker for Italian food.
The day before we left, we had made plans earlier that day for dinner at a restaurant that my Grandma Carole wanted to go to. After dealing with our flight back home being changed and talking to so many customer service reps, we just wanted eat somewhere close. When we first arrived, we had drove passed a restaurant called Burrata. My Grandma Carole had remembered it was in walking distance to our air bnb and that is where we ended up.
Lately, I've come to the realization that I'm all for restaurants with great food and thwithwirhwih ambiance is also a plus, let's call it affordable luxury dining if you will lol. Buratta is a small and intimate restaurant, which I loved. Also, it was a BYOB so a quick trip to the liquor store is definitely needed before you arrive.
Okay, let's get to the food. I started off with Burrata as an appetizer (my coworker put me on and I can't get enough of it lol.) It was roasted bell peppers, prosciutto, and fig balsamic glaze.
For dinner, I opted for the Gnocchi. Now I don't ever eat Gnocchi, I don't even eat Grandma Judy's Gnoochi but this, this right here was perfection. It was so creamy and delicious! It's made a truffle mushroom cream sauce, with walnuts and shaved parmigiano.
Y'all know I'm a dessert queen, so I couldn't end the night without ordering something. From what I remember, I believe this was the triple chocolate cake. All you guys need to know is that I devoured it lol.
I honestly can't stop thinking about this restaurant and plan on going back when I make a trip to Philly again. I know I'm not a food critic but they get a 9 out of 10 in my book. The service was impeccable and the food was afforadable and memorable. Burrata is worth it if you're going out with a small group or even a date. If you're in Philly and you try it, let me know.
