Chadds Ford​のベスト地中海料理レストラン

Everything was absolutely perfect! Food was delicious and the service was impeccable

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner. The service was excellent. It was a first class environment. We tried many things on the menu and everything was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Every single course was unique and delicious! Recommendation by our server ,Sean, on how to order was spot on. He also suggested the winter Negroni drink and it was fantastic! We started with the salted beets and the hiromasa crudo both were fresh and light. We had the skate cheeks, the texture of the fish was flaky and had a bit of crunch on top. The ricotta dumplings had my mouth watering from the smell as I broke open the first dumpling. It had the perfect amount of heat and a slight smokiness that was so freaking good you want to lick the bowl. Hubby ordered the veal osso buco and raved about it. I had the orata and it was flaky and delicious. Most places that excel at the main food are not so terrific with desserts but at Bastia both the panna cota and the basque cheesecake had unique flavors that were a perfect ending. Service was incredible and allowed us to have conversation but never missed a beat on clearing and presenting the next course. We’ve been to a lot of really good restaurants but Bastia is top 3 of them all. There are a lot of excellent restaurants in Philadelphia and we will choose to return to Bastia.

I think there may have been a substitute chef last night. Our boiled potatoes were hard, even after we sent them back the first time. They had the texture of steamed turnips. The order of fried Brussell sprouts served looked more like a bowl of charcoal. I was surprised they were even brought to the table. On the good side, the order of steamed Brussel sprouts was perfect as were the meatballs and eggplant parmigiana.

We went on Christmas Eve for drinks at the bar with friends and then a 5 course prix fixe dinner for 2. Both experiences were fabulous. Quality bartender and the table service team was top notch: professionally urgent, menu advice, flexible to small adjustments, on top of clearing and packaging to go, no time holes in waiting for food or drinks, EXCELLENT FOOD. I am embarrassed I lived in Philly for 21 years before coming here. I have been missing out. Will definitely be back.
