Tulip Pasta & Wine Bar

This place has THE BEST Chicken Milanese I have ever had. I’ve been to Milan, Italy, I’ve been to NYC, theeee best chicken Milanese is in Philly at Tulip Pasta & Wine Bar. They use dark meat, pounded thin, deep fried until crispy. The leg and thigh meat are so juicy while having a crispy exterior. There’s a black pepper mayo for dipping and a tasty tomato salad served on top. Pastas are out of this world. Get a glass of pet nat to wash it down. They got gluten free pasta options too!

Tulip Pasta & Wine Bar focuses on locally sourced Italian food. All of the wine comes from one nearby vineyard in Pennsylvania. The menu features a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free pasta dishes made from local grains. The service was excellent and we liked the upcycled decor. The problem is that Italy is a mediterranean climate and Pennsylvania isn't. As a result, the pasta tasted strange and the Pennsylvania wine was just awful. We admire Tulip's principles but its food wasn't very good.

Cute little place, staff was very friendly and approachable. Had a table right by the bathroom, not something i liked but all other spots were taken. Small portions for price. Good thing is they have plenty of gluten free and vegan options.
