Borromini Philadelphia Reviews
Dinner for two on a Sunday.
We were seated on the second floor against the west wall thankfully away from the speakers. The noise level is very high just with regular talking, the early 2000 Billboard playlist was totally unnecessary additional noise. I had the oxtail pasta whi
Went this evening at 5:45.
Was so glad and waited about 2 weeks to finally go. Perfect day, perfect time. Friend suggested we sit upstairs for less noise. It was very nice, very comfy but I would have enjoyed the goings on downstairs besides getting to see how the place turned

We had a great lunch here today and really enjoyed everything we tried. The Cacio e Pepe was creamy, perfectly seasoned, and had just the right bite. The steak was cooked beautifully -- tender and full of flavor -- and the chocolate olive oil cake wa
I went the safe route and ordered the lasagna.
it was so delicious! However the portion size was ridiculous. It should have been 2-3x at $28. Another big disappointment was the lack of bread. I kept waiting but she never showed up:( The service was excellent. our server Catherine was ama
So warning, I only went once to this restaurant.
Second of all how much could I try? But food is only part of a restaurant experience (even if a very important part). Obviously I was comparing this place to Parc like everyone else. This restaurant cannot reasonably be less than five stars. It is

Went to Borromini when I was in town for a business dinner and was very pleased. The space itself is amazing. It is evident the owners spared no expense when curating the design/asthetic of the restaurant. We were sat upstairs which had a similar fee

Average and overpriced
If you want average and overpriced Italian food this is the place for you. if you want to be seen this is the place for you but if you want good Italian food this is not the place for you. we had three different pastas- Bolognese carbonara and oxta
Borromini is an outstanding experience of food and service

New and crowded
A new grand restaurant in Philly located on the park (Rittenhouse Square). Very large, on multiple levels with seating for more than 250. Reservations are still hard to come by. Everyone wants to check it out. The theme is Italian and the renovation
Disappointing
After waiting a long time for it to open, and a while to get a reservation, we just had our first meal at Borromini: good food, stylish interior, LOUSEY service. Cocktails arrived AFTER starters, the side was forgotten, and the check was wrong. We ex
Must go!
Excellent food, great service, good vibe. The dorade was well cooked and well seasoned! loved the artichokes! will be back to try the pastas
Salty
We had the lasagna and it was ok but the sauce was terrible. We had carbonara where the main spice was salt. The salt was overwhelming and overpowering any other flavor. Also had the osso buco where the meat was delicious but the sauce was all salt.
Not Ready for Prime Time
As a big fan of Parc, Buddakan, Barclay Prime, El Vez and other Stephen Starr restaurants I expected excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We were disappointed. Service was two stars at best. Our waiter welcomed us warmly and acknowledged we were
Excellent addition to Philly!
The menu and wine list are unparalleled - service was sincere and attentive. hard to decide what to get because everything looks amazing. We enjoyed every dish - high quality, well prepared and delicious. Outstanding items include brussel sprout

Good, not great, but hopefully it will be great in the future
First, it was great being there opening night! I am a huge Stephen Starr fan for 30 years and truly appreciate all he has done for the Philadelphia restaurant scene. Mr. Starr is legendary. Honest review with context of just coming back from a 9 day

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Borromini Philadelphia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Borromini Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Borromini Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Borromini Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $5 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Borromini Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
