Perched on the 8th floor of the Bok Building, Irwin's offers a trendy rooftop experience with modern Sicilian dishes and stunning views in South Philadelphia.
"You’d be forgiven for thinking Irwin’s on the eighth floor of the Bok Building is all about the view — and indeed, there’s nothing like it — but it’s Michael Vincent Ferreri’s family-style dorade, fritto misto, and house-made pastas that really take the cake, especially paired as they are with intriguing natural wines. You can make reservations via Resy for indoor and seasonal outdoor dining." - Ernest Owens
"Sicilian small plates and natural wine are on the table at Irwin’s, the South Philly restaurant on the top floor of Bok Bar with Michael Vincent Ferreri as head chef. The scene is lively, the drinks are inspired, and the swordfish is big enough to share. What’s not to love? You can make reservations online." - Eater Staff
"At Irwin’s, upscale yet down-to-earth Sicilian fare meets a very pleasant vibe, great cocktails, and an amazing view from the sky-high patio atop the Bok Building. Chef Michael Ferreri’s house-made pastas arrive on cute vintage plates, and appetizers like eggplant caponata and bowls of mixed seafood are perfect companions to larger-format dishes." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens
"We’d eat Irwin's bucatini and agrodolce chicken in the parking lot of the mini-mart nearby if we had to. But, thankfully, the Sicilian spot on the eighth floor of the Bok Building has a gorgeous dining space, so things don't have to come to that. The bar is great for an "I like this person" date featuring eggplant caponata and interesting wine from Campania. Otherwise, head to their rooftop dining area whenever it's nice enough to sit outside, just beware, it gets windy. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
"We’d eat the wild boar rigatoni ragu at Irwin’s in a Wawa parking lot if we had to. But thankfully, this glam Sicilian restaurant is located on the eighth floor of the Bok Building. In addition to their great gnocchi sardi and spaghetti alle vongole, Irwins serves juicy whole fish topped with citrusy salsa and half a sticky, agrodolce chicken—both of which are just as beautiful to look at as they are to eat. If it's nice outside, try to get a seat on their outdoor patio. " - alison kessler, candis mclean
