Celebrated a 50th anniversary at the restaurant and we weren't disappointed. The atmosphere is amazing with the ornate decor to the beautiful woodwork. The restaurant was super clean and well maintained. The entire meal was delicious and the cocktails were nicely crafted. I had the beef braciole with their homemade raviolis. It was very good....I look forward to going back. If you were in the area you should definitely check it out. Also, please if you like my review give me a thumbs up and on my pictures too. Follow me for more....CHEERS.....
I've been trying to write this review for Saloon since I went a month ago, but I just haven't been able to. This has never happened to me before. I'm not sure why my writer's block has been so formidable, but I really haven't been able to pen anything. The only thing I can think of is that Kendrick Lamar lyric when he says:
"Writer's block for two years, nothin' moved me, Asked God to speak through me..."
It's just on loop for me when I try to detail how beautiful this place is. The only words I have been able to come up with to describe the authentic Italian energy and decor of Saloon is "Quintessential New York," but I don't want to say that because it's so trite and boring.
I begin detailing how fantastic this 11oz Truffle Filet topped with herb truffle butter and a side of mashed potatoes was, but all I can hear between my ears is Kendricks weird, nasally voice saying "Writers block for two years, nothin moved me..."
As I try to find the words to describe how delicious this homemade bolognese was and pair those adjectives with a witty and kind of funny metaphor, I just start thinking "God I hope this writer's block doesn't last two years......."
Maybe it's because Saloon is my girlfriend's favorite restaurant in Philly, and I know she'll be going over this with a fine tooth comb. Or Perhaps it's because I felt so underdressed in my plain white t, oversized Alo corduroy button down, and Jeans that I don't want to relive that experience. Or it could be that the Negroni and glass of Montepulciano I had hit me harder than I thought and I can't authentically recall the experience like I want to.
It could simply be that I'm just not who I thought I was. Maybe I don't deserve the Yelp Rookie of the year award. Or maybe, just maybe, it's because certain experiences are so moving that they are truly ineffable.
Sorry, Saloon. I'll come back one day and update a review that isn't brought to you by writers block, because you deserve it.

This iconic South Philly gem serves classic Italian dishes that are invariably delicious. The decor is rich. From dark paneling, stained glass windows, fascinating wall art, antiques and eclectic signage, the place is reminiscent of a bygone era. The staff could not be more professional or attentive, and the menu is diverse and supplemented with daily specials. A real treat and blast from the past. (I took my wife here on our first dateAS college students some 47 years ago. We reprised that occasion just recently.)
Gorgeous restaurant. Sat at the bar - the staff is friendly and this is a wonderful place.
We had a great time here with the family. We were a party of seven and we all enjoyed the food. The octopus salad is amazing!! I had the Fillet Moda and it was very flavorful. The atmosphere and our waiter were both excellent.
I definitely recommend.
Excellent dinner with attentive service. The tuna special was peppercorn crusted yellow fin tuna with balsamic and chopped tomatoes. The tuna was sliced with a side of spinach. Flavorful and tender. Chicken Melanzana along with the veal chop Milanese were hits too. The gnocchi with marinara sauce were firm and filling. Good size portions. Lovely atmosphere and the noise level was reasonable. Able to have a conversation around the table. The dessert options looked great but everyone was full. A reliable establishment.
Took my wife here for her birthday. This place is top notch. The staff was incredibly friendly. The food was plentiful and delicious as well as cooked perfectly. Seeing the old decorations was amazing. The Saloon is the perfect stop for an amazing meal. Go here - you will thank me!
There have been a number of people we know who raved about the Saloon and now we know why. This was a top-notch dining experience from start until finish. The evening started with being welcomed by a pleasant valet attendant who greeted me with a warm smile, he was very friendly. Once in the restaurant I was impressed by the beautiful decor and staff who could all double as Instagram models - my wife said that our server may be the prettiest server she’s ever seen. Then came out fantastic food! Each dish was an A++!! We will definitely be back to enjoy another wonderful evening at the Saloon.

Wow, wow, wow! What a terrific restaurant. So glad we ventured out there. The staff and service are great. The food - amazing! No bland olive oil/butter here. They start the meal with warm bread served with cold roasted veggies drenched in balsamic.

First time at Bellini with friends on New Year's Eve. I highly recommend the Braised Lamb Shanks & Risotto when available. It was falling-off-the-bone tender and sooo tasty from the first bite to the last. Definitely on par with Lamb Shanks that I pr

It certainly lived up to its reputation. In service, atmosphere and MEATBALLS. Soft and velvety, draped in an excellent red sauce with a side scoop of ricotta that my wife melted over. She also ordered the broccoli rabe and simply sighed with each bi

Joined on a student membership for the summer and really enjoyed my experience. All the trainers were highly knowledgeable (and incredibly athletic) and made sure everyone felt welcome in the gym. When I was dealing with a shoulder injury, they were
