South Philadelphia

South Philadelphia is the city's "Little Italy" and, as such, is the source of a variety of wonderful food.

Perhaps the best known is that icon of Philly itself, the cheesesteak. Whether you prefer Pat's King of Steaks (1237 East Passyunk at the intersection of 9th and Wharton Sts.) or Geno's (across the street from Pat's), you'll find the most authentic cheesesteaks in South Philly.

The Italian Market (along 9th Street from Christian Street to Washington Avenue) is another place guaranteed to tempt your tastebuds with five blocks of stalls selling roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, cannolis, fresh pasta and more.

Not surprisingly, South Philadelphia has plenty of restaurants to choose from. Whether you pick the calamari with Italian gravy (that's red sauce to Philadelphia Italians) at Triangle Tavern (10th and Reed Streets), the upscale atmosphere of Osteria Romana (935 Ellsworth St.) or the singing waiters at Victor Cafe (1303 Dickenson Street), you're sure to have a great time.
