Lo Spiedo

I have to say that the meal that I had at Lo Spiedo, Mark Vetri's new restaurant, was the best meal that I have had in Pennsylvania, or in the U.S. The atmosphere was unbelievable. You could see the Navy Yard from where you were sitting, and the 76ers office right across the street. We started off with appetizers, we got fried mozzarella, which was in circle shape, not stick shape. The mozzarella was fantastic and the marianara sauce was great! We also got beef tartare, the beef was so fresh. We got grilled sardines, pumpkin salad which was ingenious. We got a grilled romaine caesar salad. Also for appetizers, we got chicken thigh speidini, spit roasted vegetable salad. Keep in mind we had 7 people. We got cast iron skillet mac and cheese, barbecue carrots, french fries, whole roasted cabbage. I had a brisket hamburger with bacon and cheese, my dad had an octopus roll, my mom had a brisket burger, we also had pork shoulder, ribs of two kinds, other kind of pork, half of a chicken. The fries were great. Then, we got to dessert, which was the best part of my day. We had a mascarpone tart with huckleberries, a cast iron apple pie with cinnamon ice cream, caramel corn with chocolate, which was bad for my braces, but I didn't care, we also had a semifreddo with crushed meringue, salted caramel and chocolate… and OMG IT WAS DELICOUS!!!! I CANT EVEN… LIKE WHAAAAT!?!??!?!?!? HOW DO THEY DO THAT!? It loved it and You should definitely go!!
