Vibes: low-key, intimate BYOB with a view to the kitchen; bring a friend or two Tasting notes: - Burrata: served with prosciutto and sliced tomato which makes for great layering on bread - Mussels: generous serving; sauce is fragrant, lemony, a little spicy, and incredibly swipeable; meat is tender and sweet - Gnocchi: loved the large pieces of crab meat; sauce is creamy but not too heavy; pasta is pillowy and almost melt-in-your-mouth - Branzino: well-seasoned, crispy skin with a nice sear on the flaky meat; appreciated the bean salad on the side - Tiramisu: on the creamier side; very forkable and fluffy Other thoughts: - friendly, attentive service - fan of the bread service which leaves no sauce unswiped - Above dishes were very satisfying for two hungry adults Impression: what a lovely hidden gem! Will be thinking about the mussels for a while! read more

The food was good and the restaurant itself was cute, but the value was not there. The rigatoni bolognese was $26 and each of my friends finished their plates in about 5 minutes. Not nearly enough for the price. The Caesar salad was overpriced as well at $16 for a regular side plate size (no chicken). The buratta appetizer was excellent and made a little more sense for the $18 price. In all- I think it's worth trying if you're in the area, but I would not return. It felt like the prices were high to make up for the fact that they are byob. On the bright side- there was no corking fee. read more

Really tasty food at a local BYO joint. We had hoped to eat outside, which is lovely adjacent to a nice green space, but rain had other plans. The vibe inside was okay. It is small and the music choice left something to be desired. But our servers were incredibly attentive and kind, and the food was fast, fresh, hot, and delicious. Love that the kitchen is visible and open concept, in a small space. Food: starting with bread for the table is always a nice touch! And the crusty bread worked beautifully to mop up the amazing mussel broth, which was our favorite dish. Highlights of the menu were the NY strip w/ broccolini, and the mussels! Lobster ravioli in blush sauce was also very good. Potatoes served with the steak were meh. Desserts were just okay, from a limited menu, but the limon sorbet served in a literal lemon was very cute if a little too frozen. Overall would def go back for a casual local date night! read more

We found this little gem, tucked away in a little neighborhood off the main road, and all I can say is Wow, what a find! I would pick highlights from our meal, but they were all excellent. The burrata is rich and creamy, with thin slices of prosciutto to make a perfect bite. The mussels come in a rich, flavorful broth that is complex and not heavy. We saved it to dip in on throughout our meal. The meatballs were most and flavorful, in a beautiful marinara sauce. Oh, and the salmon carpaccio with sliced fennel and greens in a light, citrus dressing was divine! The gnocchi were light and fluffy, in an amazing sauce. It was like eating little pillows of potatoes. The pasta in the special fettuccine, was light and delicate, unlike any I've had before. Finally, the shrimp ravioli we're cooked to perfection, and once again, an amazing sauce. In fact, all of the sauces were amazing. It would be unfair to single one out as better than the others. On top of all this, the service was excellent! Highly recommend! read more

This spot was very lively. When you open the door, you enter directly into the restaurant which has a small dining room that's extremely loud with the kitchen and the dining room. The service was good. The gentleman that served us was only there for one day helping out he did not know a lot about the menu, but we were able to navigate through it. He started by telling us the specials of the house, but then said they might not be available. This is slightly offputting, especially since you didn't know when you told us. That being said we started out with the beat salad. Which came with fresh roasted beats. The salad was good slowly underdressed but still good. We did order the one special, which was the pasta with the Burata and prosciutto. This pasta was in a white cream like sauce that was extremely salty. Despite that it had good flavor, but the saltiness took away from the overall dish. We also opted for the gnocchi with peas, which was in a vodka, cream sauce. We ate relatively quickly partially because we couldn't even hear ourselves think with the volume of the restaurant. They do have noise barriers on the ceiling, but they don't seem to help with the volume. What is nice about this restaurant is the service was good, the menu is small, but there are options and best of course BYO. If you're local, it's probably a great spot convenient to walk to parking is a beast in this part of town. We probably aren't gonna run back to this restaurant. We might just walk slow slowly. As far as price point it's pretty on par with the other Italian restaurants in the neighborhood. It is Albanian owned Italian restaurant. read more

Nice small spot, good service with a focused menu and a few specials on offer. We all enjoyed starters of meatballs, burrata/tomato salad, and calamari (not fried, nicely prepared in blush sauce). Gnocchi with crab was very tender and pillowy but rather light on jumbo lump crab for the price. Bolognese dish was good but the rigatoni was more than al dente. Milanese and orecchiette also nice. Portion sizes not particularly generous for the plate prices. I think I'd try the pork chop that we saw at adjacent tables if we go back. read more

Because we now live so close here, we don't go as often as we should. Given the neighborhood, there is a plethora of Italian restaurants, but Burrata is awesome because it's BYO and open on Mondays. Their pasta is always perfect, and they always have a lot of rotating specials that are always interesting - heavy with seafood, which we like. The wait staff is always patient and attentive, and they have basil growing in their planters outside, which is so cute. Plus, if you pay in cash, there's a 10% discount. read more

This corner restaurant is conveniently located at the corner of 13 and Wharton by the park. Reservation is highly recommended. We went there on a Friday night and it was busy. There's not much space among the tables because of the limited space. Service was standard, our waiter was checking on us to see if the orders were correct and everything was good. Complimentary Italian bread has nice crust. It's soft and soaking the balsamic and olive oil. Appetizer: special brussel sprouts with ricotta. The brussel sprouts are charred and has a hint of lemon, drizzled with sweet fig balsamic. It's a winner. Entree I picked special sea bass. Nice crispy skin served with purée butter nut squash with some carrots, drizzled with mustard. The fish is nicely cooked. In my opinion, the mustard is not necessarily needed. It doesn't go well with the dish as a whole. Gnocchi with cremini mushrooms and pancetta. Unfortunately, the mushrooms are too salty. The good part is the gnocchi just melts in your mouth as it goes s made fresh. Scallops and risotto: beautiful plating. Three scallops are nestled on top of bright yellow risotto against the backdrop of black plate. Very eye catching. Dessert: pistachio gelato, it's decent. It can be shared if you're not into sweets. Accepts credit cards. There's a 10 percent discount for paying with cash read more

If you're looking for a cozy, charming BYOB gem in South Philly, look no further than Burrata. This little spot has quickly become one of our neighborhood favorites, and for good reason. The love and care that go into each dish are palpable, and you can taste it in every bite. We started off with the octopus carpaccio special, which was a wonderfully light and refreshing appetizer. It set the tone for the meal perfectly. For the main course, my husband couldn't get enough of the bolognese--definitely one of his favorites. As for me, the swordfish special was out of this world. It was an absolutely decadent piece of fish, probably the best swordfish we've ever had. Burrata consistently impresses, and we can't wait to come back for another incredible meal. If you're in the area, don't miss it! read more

Enjoyed an alfresco dinner at this quaint restaurant in South Philadelphia. Definitely recommend making a reservation as the place was packed. Our server Joe was very down-to-earth and a pleasure to talk to. Here's what we ate: -Stufato: All of the seafood in this appetizer was cooked perfectly and the sauce had a slight bite to it. Favorite dish of the evening. -Fish of the day: Sea bass with cous cous - thumbs up from husband -Quattro Formaggi: The four cheese risotto was what I enjoyed the most about this dish. The breaded chicken cutlet was fine. Portion sizes were on the smaller side. Other notes: -BYOB -10% discount if paying in cash read more

Cozy small restaurant and great service. We dined in on a snow day and this place is nestled in between houses and across from a park, just make them much more cozy. Monday night, place was half full. we learned that it was BYOB so we bought some wine. I got the fish of the day and my partner got the lamb rigatoni. The server whomight be the manager/owner of the place was so knowledgable and attentive. Made the experience much better. Food was tasty, overall great vibe. read more

For my first meal at Burrata, I ordered the ravioli, which came stuffed with porcini mushrooms. The pasta was cooked perfectly and was topped with a rich cream sauce and sun-dried tomatoes. The dusting of bread crumbs added a light crunch to each bite. The complimentary sesame seed-covered bread and olive oil was a perfect precursor to the entree. I loved the quaint, intimate interior. The service was great and I loved that it was BYOB. I hope to return soon to explore more of the menu. read more

I had a reservation for Burrata last December but then I unexpectedly went out of town on the day I had the reservation. Didn't make it here until this week... I've totally been missing out. Burrata is an awesome restaurant. We got the octopus carpaccio app - loved this. Also got the burrata app bc you gotta get that at a place named Burrata. Loved this one too. My bf got the swordfish which he said was awesome. I got the kale pesto w burrata for my main course. I liked it a lot but also would prob order something diff next time - also it was a lot of food and my bf had to finish my last few bites. For dessert - we split the tiramisu. It tasted just like the tiramisu my late Italian grandfather made in the 1980s. Brought back so many happy memories. I would eat this again in a heartbeat. After dinner - there is the cutest park directly across the street - we took a stroll and people watched while we burned off some of the calories of our dinner. Will def be back!!! read more

My party of four came to Burrata to kick-off the Holiday week. We had a reservation and the table was ready for us as soon as we arrived. It's a small restaurant, but they keep the heat high and so it stayed warm inside even when customers were coming and going. The service was fantastic. Very warm and accommodating as we waited for our fourth to arrive. Of note, you are asked to order your appetizers and entrees at the same time, but they are not served at the same time. The server promptly brought over an ice bucket for our white wine and there was no corkage fee. The food was served promptly, and the runner was efficient. For appetizers, we ordered the Octopus Carpaccio and Red Golden Beets. Both were delicious, and the octopus was very thinly sliced and served over greens. For the main portion of the meal, we ordered 2 chicken Milanese and 2 pastas- orecchiette and spaghetti. All four dishes were fantastic and not overly rich. Even the spaghetti which had a cream sauce, felt relatively light, as compared with other preparations. For dessert we ordered Tiramisu, which had strong taste of cocoa powder and of course was delicious. Highly recommend, especially around the holiday season as it was a short walk to Miracle on 13th Street. read more

Heard about this spot on Abbott Elementary only to find out it hasn't been around for that long! Burrata is a small restauarant filled with comfort and Italian flair. The service was exceptional, as they are kind, informative and efficient. It's a little hard to hear the person across the table as it can get loud and the kitchen is in near vicinity. I got the scallops with saffron rice and was super impressed. The scallops were big pieces, juicy and cooked to perfection! The saffron rice was flavorful and reminded me of "kichuri", found in South Asian cuisine. I'd definitely come back as this spot is a solid Italian restaurant! Also, the complimentary burrata and bread is so read more

Another successful dining experience, this time with my parents who can be picky eaters. Of course we started with the burrata, as one always should considering it's the restaurant namesake. They were surprised by how each dish had such prevalent flavors. We had the pork chop, lamb rigatoni, chicken Milanese, and seafood stufato. My husband asked for a pasta side for the chicken and that was almost better than the rigatoni. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive as we had an odd amount of utensil slips to the floor lol The limoncello, coconut sorbet, and hazelnut gelato were a great finish to the meal. I must say the cup of black coffee was a nice touch as well. For such intimate seating, it was still fairly quiet. I'd suggest sticking to a group of 2-4 but I noticed groups of 6 as well. read more

This was a hard rating for me. I love a BYOB and Italian food, and the food was good. The problems I had were that the waitress wasn't the friendliest and we were crammed into a very small table for the 5 of us, and it was expensive for the portion sizes (we ended up needing to get pizza after because we were still hungry!). The food was really good and I would recommend it to someone wanting a fancier dinner. read more

A strong overall experience at a Philadelphia institution (apparently?). I see Burrata as an amalgamation of different things. Different smaller experiences that come together to form an overall far greater one. My relationship with Italian food is weird, in that I find most of it good, but very few places as truly "great". This was a place that I thought had good Italian food. But the service, ambiance, hospitality, and just general vibes really elevated it to something really memorable and great. I first about it from Abbott Elementary (shout-out to Greg) and they made it sound like a Philadelphia institution and my friend said it's been on her list forever, so we had to go. It's a nice small cozy place at a quiet corner in south Philly. Very chill atmosphere there and absolutely perfect spot for a date (don't worry ladies, the person I was there with is just a friend). We were seated and the host immediately came over to attend to our water needs and explain the specials. Very friendly and accommodating man, as he offered to substitute in the potatoes for the chicken Milanese because we had already ordered a burrata as an app. The burrata with peppers and prosciutto was very good, as was the fresh bread. The eggplant Parm however really impressed me, as I usually am not the biggest fan of eggplant, but this was very smooth and not too smoky. For my main, I got the chicken Milanese. Good and crispy, with a wonderful caponata of Italian veggies underneath. It's funny, the parts of the meal I enjoyed most were the ones I didn't expect to. The fried potatoes were also excellent. Last but not least, a beautiful slice of tiramisu cake. It was good, but I think I'm more of a fan of traditional tiramisu that's heavier on the cream and using ladyfingers as a base. But still good though. Place was BYOB so we popped a bottle of wine while there. Overall prices were fair and it was just a really great experience, so once again, Do Attend. read more

Some of my foodie friends were in town so after scouring the Internet we landed on Burrata. A small spot, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in flavor. It was a Thursday night and this place was filled to the brim. (Always a good sign) In typical us fashion... we had to order a ton of food, and everything was great. Started with a few apps including Seafood Stufato, Burrata (have to try the app sharing the same name as the restaurant) and some octopus. Chefs kiss on all of these. You can't go wrong. For main courses we all ordered some different to share. Family style. I went with the fettuccine but I cannot lie, I got a hefty sampling of my friends ravioli. I could talk about the food for a while but my absolute favorite part was the staff. Our waitress made us feel very welcomed and offered great advice on selecting meals (even with my indecisiveness). She was a pro wizzing around our section attending to guests. read more

Burrata is a gorgeous small restaurant in South Philadelphia. The man in front of the house was very inviting, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The menu had so much to offer and the specials sounded amazing. They had artichoke heart, a Diablo seafood pasta, and some sort of fish in addition to the menu. I had to order the Burrata because if that's their name I must try! It was very fresh with sautéed peppers and balsamic glaze. It's a simple but delicious. The orecchiette had sausage, peas, sundries tomatoes and a light cream. Just the right amount of everything! The Risotto was paired with saffron and was super creamy! The scallops were cooked to perfection with a great sear and flavor that would melt in your mouth! The tiramisu was ordered to take home and was amazing! Enough cream to coffee ratio and very enjoyable! read more

I love this restaurant so much! I had been before in the Before times and had a really lovely pappardelle and gnocchi shared with my beau, but we recently went back with family and I had another lovely gnocchi from the specials. It was a spinach gnocchi with shrimp and crab meat with a blush sauce and I ate the whole freaking thing. I wanted more. And the waitstaff are so nice and hardworking and appreciative that my dinner was the first time I felt "normal" in the last 19 months. I have to come back to try the ravioli before their menu changes over but I can't explain enough how much I love fancy Italian food and how much Burrata absolutely knocks it out of the park. And pro tip: definitely order the burrata or you'll have missed out read more

Incredibly delicious food. My husband and I have been several times ourselves, plus we have taken several friends and family members here too.

The Caesar was also good with fresh anchovies. We all ordered a bowl full of different pastas and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Wow. Another stunner. And reaffirmed by my mother, who has spent her life cooking excellent meals in which I compare to most of the foods I review in terms of standard. I took my visiting family here to the place that honestly left me questioning whether I truly deferred against Italian food. With another stroke of genius, they managed to win over my mother - one of the hardest people to please beyond myself. If she was technically capable to use Yelp, I have no doubt that this would be one of her few 5 stars. We had the Wagyu Meatballs, Cauliflower, Geniche, and my favorite Gnocchi. I've spoken previously about some of these dishes, so I will keep it short here. I just wanted to reemphasize that if you're looking for places to eat, PLEASE come here. Burrata, a beauty within itself, made the opening minutes an enjoyable time with fresh cheese that combined beautifully with the meat. Wagyu Meatballs - 10/10. I've had it in Little Italy in Chicago at a little place called Tuscany's (shout-out to my chi-town people), and it was on0par if not better in terms of portions and price. Taste-wise, it melted in my mouth with an amazing sauce that left me using my spoon to scrape up as much as I could. Another dish that I hadn't tried before was the cauliflower. I have to be honest here, it wasn't my favorite. The vinegar made it an interesting taste that I haven't tried before with Cauliflower, but it left a lot to be desired and felt a bit overpriced for a typically cheaper vegetable to get (sorry owners! Just not my fan favorite.) Service again, amazing and attentive. If my previous review AND this review isn't enough to get you to come here, maybe a quote from my mom would: "I've been in the US for 22 years. I've never really enjoyed Italian dishes - it's always too heavy, too bland, or too simple. But this place is simply amazing. Best Italian restaurant or even restaurant that I've had in a long time." read more
