Delicious food and great atmosphere, love this restaurant, highly recommend, their octopus is the BEST and you must order a Rose gold cocktail

Great selection of Spanish tapas. Right near our hotel, so it was a good call on a 97 degree day in Philly. Everything was fresh and well prepared.

From the delicious rolls, cornbread and croissants to the Flavored bacon Amada consistently delivers great food and a multitude of flavors. Perfect mimosa’s, attentive friendly service staff and warm atmosphere bring a delicious meal to a wonderful Mother’s Day memory! Pancakes, French Toast, Crab Benedict and pork Milanese Panini were each better than the other. We couldn’t ask for a better meal and the portions were Large and filling!!!

I made a reservation for a party of 3 and I was told that they only had me for a party of 2. But they got us a table anyway. This place is smaller than the one in Atlantic City. The service is good the food is great. Definitely a good place to try when you’re in Philly.

It's been several years since I've had tapas, and visited Amada's while visiting my son in Philly. It was a beautiful evening, so we sat outside and had 6 tapas, including patatas bravas, grilled calamari, octopus Galicia, shortrib flatbread, wild mushroom rice, crab stuffed peppers, and my son finished with their version of Cheesecake. The patatas bravas was different than any other version I've tried, and while I love the more typical dish, I equally loved this new version . Picture fairly large potato nuggets, crunchy on the outside and surrounded with paprika, and topped with a paprika aioli -- wonderful. I wish I had taken a picture. The octopus was very tasty, but the octopus itself was a little tough. The calamari was equally tasty, but not tough at all. The short rib flatbread was perfect -- flatbread grilled well, short rib topping tasty, along with the other fixings. The red wine glass of Sangria was very nice. The crab meat stuffed pepper was cheesy, gooey, and very tasty. The wild rice "risotto", while tasty, was not really anything special, so probably wouldn't get that again. And my son seemed to enjoy the cheesecake; while the cake was a bit bland, the purple plum side topping and graham cracker crumbs were good additions to help complete the dish. Whenever I return to Philly, I will definitely return to Amada..

Excellent Food and Amazing Service! If you are a tourist and want to feel welcome and happy in a place, this is it!, they treat me with so much respect and kindness and the food was so delicious, it was a good experience.

Spent the weekend in Penns Landing and met some people who told us about this place called Amada. We agreed to go and they made us a reservation. So we walked over to Old Town it was about 10 minutes from the Hilton Penns Landing. When we got there we met the owner, a very nice guy. He explain Amada is a Tapas restaurant (so it had small plates) and that the chef was an Iron Chef. I love good food so I was excited to experiece the food. So we ordered a few different things. The food was outstanding, So good I only took a picture of the appetizer. This was some of the best food I've ever had. I can't wait to go back.

Dined during restaurant week! Food was tasty.First course: I didn’t care for the peppers but I thoroughly enjoyed the cheese, sliced apples & honey!Second course was delicious; the hanger steak is amazing.I didn’t care for my dessert either (cheesecake). Overall my experience was great and I would come back to tryTheir regular menu for sure. Our waitress Gia was personable and attentive

Its a nice place. Food was good, as was the service for as busy as it was. We were required to show we each had a covid vax card.

A wonderful experience, delicious food, and spectacular service!The staff here was so helpful and informative on the drink options, the waitstaff asked up front about any allergies before placing our order, the food for the different course came out with good timing to not overload our table, and the blood orange specialty drink was delightful. I would absolutely go back again.
