Victor's Cafe - Italian Food with Opera Singers

The Victor Café is a beloved Italian restaurant located at 1303 Dickinson Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147, in the heart of South Philadelphia. Established in 1933, it has evolved from a gramophone shop into a renowned dining destination known for its unique blend of classic Italian cuisine and live opera performances.

### Dining Experience

At The Victor Café, every meal is accompanied by live opera, with performances by trained opera singers every 20 minutes during dinner hours. This tradition began in 1979 and has since become a hallmark of the restaurant's ambiance.

### Menu Highlights

The menu features a variety of Italian dishes, including:

• Spicy Fra Diavolo
• Zuppa del Giorno (soup of the day)
• Veal Marsala

Portions are generous, and desserts like the melted chocolate cake are highly recommended.

### Hollywood Connection

The Victor Café gained additional fame as the filming location for Adrian's Restaurant in the 2006 film Rocky Balboa and later in Creed. The restaurant's distinctive atmosphere and décor made it an ideal setting for these iconic scenes.
Valet parking is available seven nights a week, and the restaurant can accommodate large parties of 10 to 30+ people, even on weekends.

***IMPORTANT: The reservation is for 8 people. It is necessary to confirm with a $15 nonrefundable deposit. The restaurant cannot change the number of people if we have less, and the amount will go towards the bill. Once you've confirmed, I will forward you my Venmo to friend me.

I've requested separate checks but if the restaurant cannot accommodate, please bring cash, just in case.

This is a fun one! Look forward to seeing you there for great food and great entertainment!
