Bistro Romano

Bistro Romano is an Italian bistro at 120 Lombard St in Philadelphia, with a dining experience shaped by wine, pasta and an intimate bar setting. Its offerings extend beyond a standard restaurant meal, giving the venue several ways to dine, drink and gather in one address.

Wine is a central part of the Bistro Romano identity. The venue includes a wine shop for bottles to take away, wine-focused experiences and a dedicated cellar experience. That emphasis makes the restaurant a fit for diners who want to pair an Italian meal with a considered bottle or explore the venue through its wine-led offerings.

The restaurant also features a piano bar, adding a music element to the evening setting. The piano bar provides a separate reason to visit and gives Bistro Romano a more occasion-oriented character than a straightforward neighborhood dining room. The cellar and piano bar offerings create options for relaxed drinks, date-night plans and celebratory gatherings without requiring a large event.

Pasta is part of the restaurant’s Italian focus, reflected in its Pasta e Vino offering. The format places food and wine together, while the broader menu and service are suited to a full meal as well as a shorter visit centered on drinks. Bistro Romano also offers takeout through its Bistro To GO service, wine to go and private-party arrangements.

For visitors exploring Philadelphia’s historic central neighborhoods, the Lombard Street location places the restaurant within an established city setting. The combination of Italian bistro dining, wine service, a piano bar, cellar experiences and private events makes the venue adaptable for an intimate meal, a wine-centered occasion or a group gathering. Reservations are available, and the restaurant also supports ordering for meals enjoyed elsewhere.
