Upstares & Sotto Varalli
Address: 231 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
While a chic center city crowd travels the Avenue of the Arts, diners at Upstares & Sotto Varalli sit back and take in the view. While looking out ceiling-to-floor windows at the corner of Broad & Locust, diners can sample head chef William Carroll's selection of seafood classics fused with flecks of Northern Italy and the Mediterranean. The menu and the restaurant’s playful decor boast a knack for seafood, but that doesn’t mean those not so keen on sea fare should shy away - meats, pastas, salads and fresh vegetables are sure to dazzle carnivores and vegetarians alike. Add an accessible wine list and there is something for everyone to come back to at Upstares & Sotto Varalli.

Vibrant, inventive and bursting with flavor, El Vez is an eye-opening experience far from the edible ordinary.
