🎭🍝 Opera & Osso Buco, Anyone?

Step into a century of South Philly magic at The Victor Café—where the pasta is handmade, the wine is flowing, and your server just might belt out Puccini between courses.

Originally a gramophone shop in 1918 (yes, really), The Victor Café has evolved into one of Philly’s most unique dining destinations. Every 20 minutes, your dinner transforms into a live opera performance, delivered by classically trained staff.

Pair the show with standout dishes like crab-stuffed crespelle, linguine ai frutti di mare, or their signature Prince Igor penne in a salmon vodka blush. Pro tip: don’t skip the wine list—it’s loaded with Italian gems.

A feast for all the senses, this place is pure South Philly soul.
🎶🍷✨ Reservations strongly encouraged.

👨‍🍳 "I love working with Hawaiian Kanpachi because it’s incredibly versatile. From crudo to caramelized, it holds flavor beautifully and lets me get creative with Vietnamese techniques."
– Chef Kevin Tien, James Beard Award-nominated chef and founder of Moon Rabbit, featured in Esquire’s Best New Restaurants in America.
