Food is absolutely excellent! Great service and very nice atmosphere. We brought a couple from out of town and they raved about how good the food was. We can’t wait to come back in the warmer weather to take advantage of the outside seating area! Meals tonight that we LOVED: Crab ravioli Chicken primavera (special) Chicken Parmesan Lobster paparadelle Excellent Italian wedding soup as well as fresh salads and the best calamari we’ve had at any restaurant. Well done to Mimmos crew! We will be back again and again!

Saloon Restaurant

$50 and over

Italian

South Philly

About the restaurant

Entering the Saloon, a family owned restaurant since it opened in 1967 is a bit like stepping into Philadelphia's past. Dark oak paneling, shiny brass and authentic local antiques create a warm congenial and casual atmosphere. The choice of two comfortable dining rooms each with its own vintage bars make dining and conversation a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily. The Saloon is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar and restaurant with a national reputation. And the parking is FREE!
