Amalfi Ristorante brings coastal Italian cooking to Northeast Philadelphia, working from a menu built on ingredients imported directly from producers in Italy, with local sourcing filling in everywhere else. It's BYOB, and the room has developed a reputation for being cozy and welcoming to regulars.
Pasta is made in house, showing up in dishes like cappellini with cherry tomatoes and basil, gnocchi in a mushroom cream sauce, and bucatini with salmon in a pink brandy sauce. Antipasti runs through fried and grilled calamari, octopus salad, roasted peppers, and eggplant layered with mozzarella and marinara. Entrees include veal medallions, grilled salmon with capers, and several chicken preparations, with a short list of gelato and pastries to close things out.
