Chef Peter McAndrews' latest Philly joint, joining Modo Mio, Paesano's and Monsu, is a trattoria serving up interpretations of Roman cuisine both contemporary and ancient. Popolino (Roman dialect for "commoner") offers a menu split into three segments — one fish- and veg-friendly, one classic (carbonara, cacio e pepe, etc.) and one adventurous, with offal preparations like braised tripe, calf's tongue and nervetti, a calf's foot presented in a headcheese-like format. The centerpiece of the BYO is the tavola calda, a traditional Roman spread of room-temp antipasti that rotates every day. Popolino serves lunch and dinner every day but Tuesday.
