Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Center City trattoria with view of Avenue of the Arts serves northern Italian cuisine contained in glamorous dining rooms.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! – I can't say enough about my dining experience at Upstares. We had a great waitress named Cat she treated us like royalty. Every morsel of food from our appetizers to dessert incredable. We had a great table overlooking the Avenue of the Arts. This place goes way beyond four stars! I know that this restaurant has been around for a long time and I hope that it will be around for many more years. I can't wait to go back again!
Truly an elevated dining experience – Somethings just get better with age. This is not often true but in the case of this restaurant...this cliche is accurate. I have been a patron for over 15 years. Sometimes only returning every couple of years. I just dined there last weekend and somehow the food and service seemed better than I ever remembered. I normally do not write reviews on web sites, but I must give this reliable establishment my true and unbiased rave. Keep up the good work!!!
Wait Staff and Hosts Suck – If you enjoy a place where the HIRED HELP actually have an attitide to match the upscale attempts of the restaurant then this is the place for you. Every walk into a place and the host expects you to be the one that bends over backwards to be nice? Well then, this is your place. Location on Broad Street is the only thing it has going. I could not get past the attitude
WOW! – My boyfriend and I went to Varalli for Valentine's Day and it was amazing. The staff was very nice and we were seated promptly (with a reservation made on their website). The food was delicious. We started with a bottle of reasonably priced ($26) Italian red wine. We ordered starters-the crab and corn chowder and a Caesar salad because in my experience the dinner portions are usually small (well, I was wrong about portion size), and also it was the best salad I've ever tasted in my life! For dinner he had the lobster ... read more
abience, cuisine, great people Broad Street – Six of us met for dinner with reservations. We were treated as family, seated promptly and politely. The crabcake was magnificent, the lobster ravioli was even better. The wine list supurb, but the best was how friendly and accomodating the staff was, above and beyond. The meal ended with tons of Chocolate Pyramid - unbelievable. Not wanting the wonderful evening to end we went downstairs to Sotto's to listen to the most wonderful live jazz music. A perfect night on Broad Street.
THE BEST OF BROAD STREET – Six of us met at Upstares after work Fri. night and had the best time. We sat at a window seat with just the best view of Broad St. you can imagine. It was wonderful to see the Avenue so alive and bustleing. Our waiter gave us suggestions of wines and we picked a wonderful one with a hint of apples and pears. The appetizers were to die for, my favorite was the shrimp dumplings. Our entrees included tuna, filet mignon, scallops and roasted ducked, all cooked to perfection. So perfect, our comliments... read more
A JEWEL OF PERFECTION – My wife and I arrived with good friends 10 minutes before our reservation and were offered cocktails at the bar. We were seated several minutes early at a table with a wonderful view of Broad St. The mosiac lights that go continously were quite the conversation, we all guessed about how they operated, LCD? We asked our server for wine suggestions and we picked one that was perfect. Great appetizers, we had the bruschetta assortment, shrimp dumplings and crabcake, all were perfectly prepared and ...del... read more
Details, Details... – When reserving, (from out of state, over a month's advance), I CLEARLY STATED, SEVERAL TIMES, that this would be my parent's 50th anniversary dinner. He said he wrote it down. They didn't wish my parents Happy Anniversary!?! Our waiter DID remember to wish Happy Birthday to the woman at the next table. Maybe they got his attention with their pink boas. Maybe the gifts on our table, wrapped in silver & gold paper, being opened by 70-ish folks, me wearing a tux with gold tie, and ADVANCE NOTICE THAT THIS ... read more
