The walk downstairs tells you everything: a cinematic hallway descent into a dramatically lit dining room that feels like a love letter to old South Philly Italian. Michael Schulson brought in the Termini family, of Termini Bros. bakery fame, to make it legit, and their red sauce recipe comes straight from Mr. Joe's Cafe. Get the hand-pulled mozzarella, the Sunday gravy, and save room for a cannoli filled to order. It's a big, loud, generous room, and that's exactly the point.
