I forgot about the Italian restaurants. Hope it's not too late! Near Rittenhouse Square: D'Angelo's, Branzino, Le Castagne, Melograno, Salento. The other side of Broad Street might be better, though. Near the Italian Market are old-school Villa di Roma and Dante and Luigi's; there actually was an attempted Mafia hit in Dante and Luigi's on Halloween 1989. Passyunk Avenue in South Philly has at least a half-dozen Italian restaurants of different kinds. It's in an old Italian neighborhood that's now gentrifying, so the Ave. might be a decent place for an after-dinner stroll as well, but unfortunately the Capogiro gelateria is closed for the season.
