😍 5/5 - One of the finest Italian meals I've had outside of Italy

I had only one available night on my short trip to the US (I live in Mexico) to take myself out to dinner, so I carefully researched all of the finest restaurants in Philly and chose this one. I could not be happier with my choice. Yes it's expensive, but the price was in line with many other fine restaurants that offer a tasting menu, and believe me, the value is there. First, let me mention that one of the things I usually DISlike about tasting menus is that there are too many courses, with each one being a bare spoonful or two. This is incredibly frustrating when you taste something so exquisite but all you get is a mouthful, and you crave more! Not here - there are few enough courses so that each one is a perfect size: enough to really enjoy, without filling yourself up to the point where you can't squeeze in dessert. And, full disclosure here - I even added a course, adding their Foie Gras Pastrami pre-appetizer. If you are a Foie Gras lover, DO NOT MISS THIS! It was probably my favorite course of the night, and that's saying a lot. And it was quite generous, which is highly unusual for any restaurant serving Foie Gras. You will not feel unsated. For my antipasti I had the sweet onion crepe, which was melt-in-your-mouth yum. I would have liked a bit more truffle flavor myself, but I understand that truffles can overwhelm a dish and this one was supposed to focus on the carmelized onions. For pasta I had the spinach gnocchi/tortellini pairing. This one had a bit more truffle flavor in the tortellini, to me just the right amount. Both pastas were unique and inventive expressions of classic Italian dishes - I've not come across anything like them before. Secundi was the roasted baby goat. Don't let the fear of eating goat scare you off - it was not gamey AT ALL, and was fall-off-the-bone tender without being mushy. If you like stronger meats, such as lamb, you will love this. Dolci was the molten pistachio cake, once again something completely different, and an absolute explosion of flavor in my mouth, exactly as you want a dessert to be at the end of a flavorful meal. I also did the wine pairings, which were worthy if not overwhelming. They were definitely unusual selections that I would not have been exposed to anywhere else, so the uniqueness was enjoyable, and each pairing went perfectly with the course. And the pourings were a good size. My only suggestion for this restaurant would be to add a second, leveled-up option for wine pairings - at a higher cost of course - for people who want to step up their meal. Food this good deserves truly exquisite wines, and I'll bet they would be surprised how many would choose it. (On the other hand, given the small number of tables I can understand that this may be difficult to do, as they don't want to be left with unfinished bottles of super-expensive wine at the end of the night.) The service was impeccable, in every respect. Not overly solicitous or pretentious, always there if you need them, with full detailed explanations of each course and wine. One final comment: as a woman who often travels alone, dining solo in a high-end restaurant can sometimes be an awkward experience. I recall a meal at Le Bernadin in NYC in which I felt mostly ignored, while the staff heaped attention on other tables. The staff here treated me perfectly - personable, friendly, willing to take a few moments to chat while being careful not to ignore their other tables. I honestly can't recall being made to feel this comfortable dining alone in a fine restaurant. All in all an extremely pleasurable dining experience, and some of the finest Italian food that I've tasted outside of Italy itself.
