Via Locusta is my favorite restaurant in Philly. I've been a few times in the last 2 years when I've been in town and it's been consistently stellar food, service and drinks. My brother lives here and it's one of his faves too. The pastas (all made fresh in house) melt in your mouth. And do not, under any circumstance, skip on ordering the focaccia with honey butter . It's the stuff dreams are made of. The agnolotti are pillows of heaven. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Really good Italian spot! Service was good. Inside was cute. We sat on the patio which was great on a breezy summer night. Everyone in my party got cocktails and enjoyed them. For the table, we split the focaccia which was amazing. Best part of the meal. We also split the carrots which had great flavor. For an entree, I got the agnolotti. It was very heavy on the cheese and cream, would have liked more mushroom. Husband got the mafaldine bolognese Bianca which I thought was amazing. Everyone else in our party also enjoyed their food. Portion sizes were perfect.

I've admittedly never come to Via Locusta for their regular menu, but this is my favorite happy hour spot in center city. Their small bites are all really well priced, and while they are quite small, I like it that way because it gives you the opportunity to try a lot of different things. My personal favorites on the happy hour menu are the agnolotti, focaccia, and meatballs, but honestly everything is I recently went with friends and we ordered practically everything on the menu (doubles of our favorites), some of them ordered drinks, and we left stuffed with a bill that was ~$30 each including tax and tip. A total steal for a nice early dinner in the city if you ask me!
