• Farm-to-table • South Philly

In Italy, a trattoria is a cozy & casual, family-ran restaurant. And that is exactly what we strive to be! During the day, we are an all local, whole animal butcher shop & deli and at night, an intimate trattoria. Our food is regionally Mid-Atlantic while being primarily influenced by Italian cooking. We are inspired by our local farmers, their produce and the cultural diversity of Philadelphia. All of our ingredients are locally sourced except for a few spices and salt. We mill flour, make pastas & breads, and butcher proteins all in house. And now with our winery, Punk Rock Wine Co, we are making and serving our own PA grown & Philly made wines alongside beers, wines & spirits from other PA producers. Looking forward to having you! And thank you for supporting local farmers and small businesses!

Excellent food! I love the creativity of the menu—it’s inspired me to try dishes I normally never would have ordered, only to discover that I actually love them. Caviar and sardines are perfect examples.

This was my second time at Bloom and it was just as spectacular as the first time. Staff was very friendly. I never feel rushed at this restaurant they really allow you to take your time and enjoy the meal. We went for brunch and there were a ton of options for everyone. Food came out very hot and everything was delicious. Will definitely be going back
