Itv

I think ITV will now be the place I've reviewed the most. The menu is smaller than it was. Less crowded than I recall, even on a Wednesday night. But improbably, it is every ounce as impressive a spot as ever before. Amazing staff, amazing cocktails, amazing food. If this happened to be in New York or LA, it would never see the end of magazine and newspaper reviews. But I'll settle for my south philly gem; a spot that I'll always come back for whenever I'm back in town.

This was easily the best place for cocktails in south philly pre-covid; however, I've found it nearly impossible to get a drink here recently due to hours, reservations, etc. Last night the bar had two ppl and we were told that we'd need a reservation to grab a cocktail. While I appreciate ITV in its new form, it has definitely lost a bit of its charm.

Small, intimate place with five tables and about 6 seats on a long table at the window. The bar has plenty of seats and a drink menu that is inventive and largely wonderful. The menu has about 12 items, the Roast Chicken being the best, hands down. Beyond that, I found the Radicchio Salad to be very salty and the Butternut Squash Raviolis to be excellent. Both are likely seasonal items so take my advice based on the fall/winter menu availability. Overall, a good place with a limited menu and good cocktail selection. Will return in the springtime.

The cocktails lived up to the hype! I was hoping they would. There was a good section of about 8 cocktails plus wines, but I suggest you get a cocktail. The one appetizer we tried was awesome The ambiance was great, and the service was friendly and helpful too. This place is small, so get there early if you want a spot!

I sat at the bar solo where the service was good although not exceptional. The New York Sour, which is on the Happy Hour menu, was also good, but not the best version I've had. The Grilled Short Rib plate was nothing short of amazing. Best red meat I've had in years as it was not chewy or fatty. Very tasty.
