Wonderful waitress and the live jazz music was a great touch!

We have been going here regularly for 3 plus years. Always great food. Love sitting outside in the summer. Brought a first timer who noted that they would be adding In Riva a to their restaurant list to return to.

I love this place. It’s got a great bar, good music, cozy atmosphere and good food. Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating. I went there for brunch last week and went back for dinner. It was great!

Every single course was unique and delicious! Recommendation by our server ,Sean, on how to order was spot on. He also suggested the winter Negroni drink and it was fantastic! We started with the salted beets and the hiromasa crudo both were fresh and light. We had the skate cheeks, the texture of the fish was flaky and had a bit of crunch on top. The ricotta dumplings had my mouth watering from the smell as I broke open the first dumpling. It had the perfect amount of heat and a slight smokiness that was so freaking good you want to lick the bowl. Hubby ordered the veal osso buco and raved about it. I had the orata and it was flaky and delicious. Most places that excel at the main food are not so terrific with desserts but at Bastia both the panna cota and the basque cheesecake had unique flavors that were a perfect ending. Service was incredible and allowed us to have conversation but never missed a beat on clearing and presenting the next course. We’ve been to a lot of really good restaurants but Bastia is top 3 of them all. There are a lot of excellent restaurants in Philadelphia and we will choose to return to Bastia.

It was a phenomenal experience! We'll be recommending this to our friends in Philly and will likely be back. We did the 12-course omakase and were blown away. Leo was great!
