Borromini brings Italian cuisine to Rittenhouse Square

RITTENHOUSE SQUARE (WPVI) -- Stephen Starr's Borromini is a new spot in Rittenhouse Square. The James Beard winning restaurateur was inspired by a trip to Italy and has brough that inspiration to the iconic Philadelphia neighborhood.

The two-floor eatery offers views of the park and a menu that includes house-made pastas. The 100-layer lasagna has been an early menu favorite.

The cocktail menu includes favorites like an Aperol spritz or the tomato-forward pomodoro martini.
