August might be one of Philadelphia’s most popular Italian eateries. This is an intimate BYOB restaurant, with just 30 seats. Located across from Columbus Square Park in South Philly, August has developed a local following. The menu is Italian fusion cuisine, incorporating flavors and ingredients from all over the world, and regular diners appreciate nearly everything on the menu.
August's appetizers work both on their own and as invitations to the main course – try the beet salad or the sautéed artichoke hearts with sun-dried tomato, white beans, and spinach. Some of the favorites according to regular diners include the astounding farfalle pasta with lump crabmeat, porcini mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes in a light, refreshing cream sauce, as well as the pan-roasted salmon with sweet chili sauce and risotto. Desserts are also well-regarded, with the banana bread pudding and the cheesecake both winning raves.
