Reviews

Stepping into “The Love” instantly transports you to a rustic retreat, thanks to its charming white-painted arches, the warmth of oak tables, and matching floors that truly stand out.
My visit on a bustling Tuesday night proved the place is a hit, filled to the brim yet maintaining its cozy allure. Our culinary journey began with a Caesar salad, a dish so generously portioned it was hard to believe it was meant for sharing.
The flavors were unique, delivering a taste sensation unlike any other Caesar I’ve encountered, and it arrived surprisingly quickly. For drinks, I indulged in an Old Fashioned, which was sweet, smooth, and expertly crafted.
It’s worth noting the impressive selection of mocktails available, catering to all preferences without compromise on taste. The main course was a highlight.
I opted for the short rib, a dish so exquisitely prepared it could inspire me to make grand gestures of appreciation.
My partner’s choice of branzino was equally divine, cooked to sheer perfection. Despite the lively atmosphere, be prepared for a bit of ambient noise as conversations do tend to carry in the crowded space.
Additionally, potential visitors should be mindful that street parking is limited. Overall, “The Love” offers a memorable dining experience with its exceptional food, inviting ambiance, and attentive service.
A must-visit for those who cherish a meal that delights and surprises in equal measure.

Sofya, thank you for such a wonderful review.
Nothing pleases us more than to hear that our guests thoroughly enjoyed their dining experience at The Love..
We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another 5-star experience!

Located close to Rittenhouse Square, The Love is pumping out works of food art.
Blending complementary flavors with stunning visual plating, every dish is delicious and almost too pretty to eat.
The stars of the show were the Take Me Away - Nashville fried chicken, the hush puppies, green salad and the burrata.
You can see why this is a popular place.
The service was good and waiter kind and prompt.
A must try! We will be back!
