Ansill gained a reputation for Fear Factor food, serving up organ meats and other offal. But it’s perfectly easy to put together an exciting meal that won’t scare the squeamish: an osso buco sandwich, braised veal breast, bronzino with escargots. If you play it safe, however, you’re missing out on Ansill’s best: soft duck egg studded with truffles, grilled shrimp garnished with lobster roe butter, crispy lamb’s tongue.

Review
I'm from Boston. I look for the best culinary experience wherever I travel. I love Philly; I love Ansill. The whole experience is what I love about a neighborhood gem where the chef makes such comfortably yet innovative (oh, and yummy!) cuisine and it just feels good being there. I love this place.

We enjoy this place every time we go, which is quite often. It is chef-owned, which makes a huge difference when it comes to quality and consistancy. They change the menu frequently, and have some different and delicious items. I highly recomment it.
