We visited the Victor Cafe on our recent visit to Philadelphia. What a wonderful experience! The food was great. Yes, the place is crowded and noisy but that just adds to the charm.

Our friends took us here while we were in Philly. The food was fantastic and the live opera singing was incredible. We'd been to this type of place before (one in San Jose and one in Los Angeles).

Not bad, although I would for an Italian restaurant and opera dining experience, I would lean more towards the High Note at 13th and Tasker. more

Whenever my wife and I are in Philly we make it a point to get to Victor. In the last year or so the food has gotten a lot better but that is not the main reason to go there. It's the singing. Opera, Baby! From young, talented, up and coming opera students and performers ... who also double as... more
