Ristorante Panorama is the perfect spot to get a sophisticated party started. Offering some of the finest Italian cuisine in the city, this upscale restaurant is within walking distance of the hotel.

The pastas are homemade – and famous in a town that truly understands and appreciates Italian food.

The dining room offers a dramatic setting of hand painted murals, marble floors and torch lighting. Housing the largest wine preservation “Cruvinet” system in the world, the wine bar boasts more than 120 wines by the glass and has been awarded Wine Spectator’s “Best of Award for Excellence.” Other accolades include being named Philadelphia Magazines “Best of Philly” and Santé’ Magazine’s “Wine Hospitality Award for Fine Dining.”
