    Hello Bees!  I am calling upon all of you lovely ladies for your assistance with recommending a restaurant that I can take FI out to tomorrow night for his birthday.  He is a very picky eater, so I'm gonna say either Italian or American food.  Nothing too fancy, as we're really not fancy people.  A BYO would be awesome, but not necessary!

    Thanks in advance!!

    Two good Italian BYO places are the Radicchio Cafe at 4th and Wood or Il Cantuccio at 3rd and Fairmount.

    La Viola is BYOB italian also - on 16th and...spruce (i think?).  Somewhere near there.  Food is really good from what I remember.

    Thanks for the suggestions!!  We ended up going to Bellini Grill on 16th between Spruce and Walnut.  The food was good, not great.  The service was unfortunately bad.  AND I got overcharged on my bank card.  The manager handled it horribly.  Very disappointed.

    However, FI had a wonderful birthday!

    @vanilla frosting: Yea, I don't like that place at.all.  I've gone there a few times before the orchestra with my mom.  However, if you an excellent meal, all vegan, go next door to Mi Lah (the orange awning).  Their food is fantastic.  I didn't suggest it before because you said FI is a picky eater, but if you ever go out without him or he's up for a new experience, go there.  They have really good brunch also on the weekends (also vegan).

    Even though I'm a bit late to the party :)  I highly suggest Mercato for future outings.  We had a terrific dinner there. 

    I'm taking the husband to Osteria for his birthday this Friday.  Very excited to try it.

    @rachaelrobin- I actually notices Mi Lah when we were leaving and it's definitely something I would try without FI.  I love vegetables and fresh foods, he on the other hand does not!  Definitely something I'll have to do with a girl friend!

     

    @lotam24- definitely let me know how Oseria goes!  I've heard good things!
