Awesome food, great service. Definitely recommend for special occasion.
What a fabulous place to hold a private function. Fantastic downtown location - within walking distance of several 4 star hotels.! We had a great time in their private room celebrating a college graduation. Because it's BYOB we were able to save a lot of money on wine. The staff could not have been more attentive and the food was unique and tasty!!! Thanks Branzino for a wonderful evening for my family.
Very good place! Compare to the many other places in Philadelphia

Great venue and even better food! Exceptional !!
Wonderful dining experience !! Loved the service , the food & the garden area ! We will be back soon !
One of the best places to eat in Rittenhouse Square.
Our dinner was amazing--I had the Risotto, and it was absolutely delicious. The one problem I had with this restaurant is that we made reservations, and when we arrived, they tried to seat us at two terrible tables. The first was squashed up against the doorway to the restaurant, and the other was in an awkward spot right in front of the steps where the waiters are (as well as everyone else) up and down constantly. I could understand this if we walked in without reservations, and if that were the case, we would have been happy to be seated anywhere. We expressed our desire for a different table and they did accommodate our request, so we ended up having a great meal. This is a BYOB--loved that, too! All in all, I would recommend this restaurant, but perhaps ask for a seat upstairs if you want to be out of the traffic pattern and the sun!
Some of the Best Pasta I ever had. I truly enjoyed having dinner here. The pasta is truly amazing and worth getting. Make it an appetizer and a entree. You won't be disappointed
This place is phenomenal. I had the mussels for appetizer, rabbit ragu for my meal, and chocolate hazelnut cake for dessert. All was incredible. The mussels were of high quality and full of flavor. Save some sauce to dip your bread in! The rabbit ragu is popular and rightfully so. The pasta tastes homemade and has great texture. The chocolate hazelnut cake is absolutely to die for. It's almost like a lava cake--very moist, rich, and warm with a gooey center and vanilla ice cream on the side. The service was great, as well. They pay mind to proper dining etiquette and keep a clean table with full drinks. I highly recommend Branzino.
We enjoyed our dinner. Ate there for the first time tonight and was very pleased. I ordered the Caesar Salad and one of the specials, a Filet Mignon. Turned out none of the three of us ordered pasta, one person ordered Chilean Sea Bass and the other person a rolled chicken dish that I see on the receipt is called Pollo Rolatini. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The salads we ordered were full sized and not side salad sized, along with the full size price, but they were very good. My companion's entrées were reasonably portioned, my steak was a good appetite sized. I liked it, cooked perfectly. It was topped with a red wine sauce. There were some thinly sliced and maybe even a little crispy marinated(?) mushrooms that I found particularly good. Presentation of all the food was impressive. Service was good but not overbearing. It was a nice little restaurant and a very nice meal.
Good Italian BYOB. Went there last night and had a good meal. Started off with a arugula salad tossed in olive oil and had shaved parmesan which was solid. Then had a butternut squash ravioli in a butter sage sauce which i thought was a nice dish as well. Then finished off with a tres leche cake which was very moist. Everybody else had good meals the gnocchi looked good and the branzino looked tasty. I thought the layout was a little weird but it is a nice place to go with family. Good food and reasonable prices is always a good combo.

Finally dined here for the first time this past week. Friends treated me to dinner for my birthday and realized it was also Restaurant Week once they gave us the menus, which made it even better! Sat in their outdoor space which had a great garden eatery ambiance with string lights, white linens on the table, etc.
The food was delicious! For my 3 courses, I did the Romaine Salad, Braised Lamb Shoulder (with Gnocchi and Cauliflower) and the Limoncello Sorbet. The restaurant is BYOB so they brought a couple bottles for our table with the restaurant able to cork one for us since we didn't have one with us. Although we had a reservation, it took us a while to be seated since we requested outdoor and some tables hadn't cleared out yet - they were short-staffed that night, explained that to us and kept us updated on when the tables would be ready. Because of that and our entire dining experience, we felt the staff was really great! Very personable, courteous, professional and attentive.
All in all, great dining experience. For sure what to come back and would recommend to others.
Family owned, new renovated BYOB near rittenhouse square. Everything is made fresh in house, and they have a decent sized menu of unique specialities. Don’t miss out on the scallops, the pasta, or the desserts!
Beautiful space with gorgeous garden seating out back. I had the Branzino which was prepared perfectly. For 32.00 it was small and I left hungry. The dessert was beautiful with a sesame type cookie on the top but the rest was not worth the calories.
New favorite restaurant in the city! Extremely well done with social distancing and safety precautions. Food was EXCELLENT and service was so sweet & genuine. Thank you, Branzino!
Had a very wonderful experience food was perfect and very friendly staff. We didn’t know we could B.Y.O.B. Family owned and owner was so gracious to provide us complimentary 3 glasses of red wine.
Branzino has good food at a good price! The portions can be smaller, but they have good value for the quality of ingredients.
We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner in Branzino's gorgeous courtyard for 20 people. They asked us to sit across two tables and we had a corner of the courtyard to ourselves. The food was delicious and they didn't rush us to fit a timeline, which was ideal for two families getting to know each other. We were able to switch out one menu item that no one would order for a different one already on the menu, which was very nice. They even let us drop off the wine (a whole case) ahead of time so it would be the correct temperature when we ate! This was a great spot for a prix fixe large group dining.
This is my new favorite Italian spot in Philly! I have gone to the restaurant & ordered from Grubhub. The food delivered was at perfect temperature & worth every penny!
B.Y.O.B is always a plus. I had the salad, Lamb Bolognese, and chocolate cake it was very good. I wish the bread thats served at the table was warm. Cold bread and butter is not a match.
Beautiful, stunning atmosphere. Impeccable service and even better food. My new favorite place!!!!
What a fantastic meal! I dined on branzino and rabbit, both were delicious. Highly recommended and super attentive service. Very reasonably priced. What are you waiting for?
The service and food was EXCELLENT!!
I highly recommend this restaurant!!
My wife and I will be coming back here to dine 🍽💕.
Branzino is a beautiful restaurant for a date. It looks upscale. The servers have a more professional look. All of the staff members are cordial and attentive. There is an outdoor space that is cozy and also has a nice ambience. My by had the signature dish, the Branzino which he said was very tasty. I ate the shrimp as an appetizer. I ate the pasta with duck confit which was satisfying. The restaurant is byob.
I was here with a date on July 29th, 2020 and enjoyed the restaurants outdoor seating. My date and I both had the four course prix fixe lobster special which was absolutely delicious. The best was the squid ink pasta course.
The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The meal was paced very leisurely which gave us a lot of time to enjoy each other's company, but we were told that we could ask to have it sped up if we wished.
As much as I'm sure I would have liked to have dessert, the portions of the meal were such that we were both too full for it. We did have some tea which was very nice and attractively served.
I had been concerned because it was hot outside that day, but the street was nicely shaded and we were both comfortable. I hope that next time I go back there will be seats available in the garden area because it looks really lovely.
An excellent experience that I would highly recommend.
We have found this gem last week and we are at our second visit already. The food is great (their pasta is home made and Branzino is cooked to perfection). For two people,we order a pasta dish and a Branzino, which is just perfect and leave us some room for the dessert. the staff are very respectful and attentive. They have a cute garden
area which makes you feel like you are in the Mediterranean region. It is BYOB place, the prices are reasonable .
Everything about our experience was delightful and delicious. The Branzino was as good as I have ever had. Comfortably European. Elegant but not stuffy. Personable but not imposing. Just bring a great wine. This is the place you will want to enjoy it.
