I live near Philadelphia. Does anyone know where there's any real Italian restaurants?

Question

I'm trying to find a restaurant that makes a dish, Cuttlefish in black sauce. I know it might sound weird... but seriously, it is soooo good. I had it while I was in Italy this past March. I'm trying to see if I can find a place that I can get it again at in the US. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

Arent they all on the south side of Philly?

Answer 2

Answer 3

Here is the only restaurant I found that serves it the way you describe.  

Appears to  be a staple in many Japanese restaurants.  

La Veranda

Pier 3, Penn’s Landing (Market St.)

Philadelphia, PA 19106

215-351-1898

If you like try making it yourself.

Answer 4

Do you live in Jersey or west of the city?  Lamberttis in Jersey is good.  If you are heading down Rt. 30  toward the shore, The Maplewood is one of the best.  It's located in Hammonton, within 5 miles of the Rt.30/Rt. 206  intersection.
