Benvenuti a L’Oca Italian Bistro. Welcome to L’Oca Bistro.
We’re a small BYOB in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood (near the Eastern State Penitentiary) serving modern twists on authentic Northern Italian food. Chef-owner Luca Garutti is passionate about the food he creates. Raised on the principles of the Slow Food movement in his native Italy, he sources only the finest ingredients available.
Come find out why our pappardelle with goose ragu was awarded “Best of Philly” pasta of the year (Philadelphia Magazine). If you know what Italian food is supposed to taste like, you’ll love L’Oca. Honestly.
We’re open seven days a week, and offer sidewalk dining when the weather is nice. We look forward to dining with you soon.
