Philadelphia boasts one of the most diverse, acclaimed, and impressive culinary scenes in America — with a blend of Michelin-starred restaurants alongside its quintessential tourist traps. No trip is complete without an iconic Philadelphia cheesesteak (inspired by the hot dog, if you can believe it).
But when you've sampled the must-visit spots in the city, venture off the beaten path to gems like Victor Café — an unassuming South Philadelphia Italian restaurant easily missed if you don't know to look for it — where you'll get a free performance with your pasta.
