Tinto
Address: 114 South 20th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103
The Basque region of Spain—rich with an abundance of fresh fish, delectable sheep’s and goat’s cheese, fresh produce, and a wide variety of wines gathered from the bordering south of France—seems like a dream to those of us living the urban life in Philly. However, the vast variety of flavors as well as the passionate Spanish atmosphere can be enjoyed as near as Rittenhouse Square at Chef Jose Garces’ most recent endeavor, Tinto. Offering the authentic wine-cellar experience with the interior decoration and rustic Spanish vibe, Tinto also has a lounge with plush sofas to give the option on comfort and relaxation. Dyani Makous

Pumpkin
Address: 1713 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146
Pumpkin, coined from the pet name of husband and wife co-owners Ian Moroney and Hillary Bor, offers an adventurous menu that changes daily – dishes can include snails, cardoon, and homemade banana gelato. The intimate 28-seat restaurant in the city’s Graduate Hospital area also serves up the sort of comfortable charm that comes of candle lighting, small tables, and attentive service from employees that include members of Moroney’s family. This neighborhood restaurant is well suited for a second date, a second anniversary or a couple of hours catching up with old friends.
