Named after the bird that populates nearly every port along the ancient maritime spice routes, Spice Finch pays homage to a passerine that does not sing, yet is known to vocalize or chirp in recognition of good eats. We are inspired by the distinctive flavors of the nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and heavily influenced by the cultures and culinary traditions of Morocco and Greece. Our menu is a bold, seasonally accurate menu featuring an array of small plates, vegetables, grilled meats and fish. Follow us on Instagram @SpiceFinchPhilly

Pizza is a family affair for me. My Uncle arrived in America in the 1930s with a passion for pizza. He worked hard and eventually bought his own pizzeria in Brooklyn. It was there that Uncle invented a recipe for coal oven pizza. That recipe has been perfected over 60 years and passed down through the generations.Here in Philadelphia you can dine at 2 Pietro's locations: 1714 Walnut Street, and Radnor, Pa. I hope that you enjoy our classic style pizzas and pasta specialties "alla familia" for many years to come. Buon appetito

    We had Sunday reservations at 11am. We arrived on time, and we were seated immediately. Our waitress allowed time for us to look over the menu. She took our drink order and when she returned with our drinks she took our order for brunch. The bread basket was great! The beet salad with goat cheese was perfect. The egg white omelet with fresh herbs was very good. ☆☆☆☆☆

    This was the first time me and my girlfriend dined at The Love and it will definitely not be the last. We had reservations to sit in the dining area but the vibe was so great at the bar we chose to dine with the amazing bartender Willie! Drinks were made to perfection and his food recommendations were on par. This will be my new spot to dine with friend or even solo!
