Hostaria da Elio

$-$$$, Italian, South Philadelphia

User Rating: ** 2.0

Fodor's Review:

The simple surroundings belie the sophistication of the chef, who prepares light-as-a-feather pastas with complex sauces. Spinach gnocchi with homemade tomato sauce and gnocchi with Gorgonzola-cheese sauce are both excellent. Go early to avoid the crowds.

Forgettaboutid!!

Posted by Henry from Philadelphia on 10/19/05

Very good service mixed with mushy pasta, empty-shelled mussels, over-cooked tuna and an arrogant owner made for an easily forgetable experience. Tiramisu tasted like a Tastycake Eclair. This is not Italian food!!
