Touted as the poor man's Osteria, this Kensington-area BYOB straddles Northern Liberties and Fishtown, and has become a destination spot for eaters seeking Batali-esque fare. The menu has $8 antipastas (try the frogs' legs or anything you can soak up with the thick, rustic house-baked bread) and $11 pastas (have the oxtail ragu or homemade ravioli -- really, it's all good) and under-$20 mains (veal sweetbreads with artichokes and pancetta, eggplant stuffed with mint and homemade ricotta). But, the real bargains are the fixed-price "turista," four courses for $35.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
