If you measure the freshness of seafood by the distance it must travel from the market to your table, then it will be hard to top Anastasi Seafood.Craig LaBan, Inquirer Restaurant Critic
I wonder why there are so few places in the city that offer this delicacy. Blue crab is so sweet and satisfying. Many people believe eating hard-shells is too much effort for too little reward. I am not one of them. I found my tasty reward at Anastasi Seafood in the Italian Market.Phyllis Stein-Novack, South Philly Review
Best place for seafood anywhere! I would drive up from DC for dinner again just to hang out at Anastasi! The seafood doesn't get any fresher, and best place to get crabs...Maryland who?? Lobster bisque should not be missed! Owner is the nicest lady you will ever meet. Just a great place.Roger C., Yelp Elite
I have shopped here a few times for the non-vegetarian at my house and have been pleased with the selection and service. Everything tastes fresh (or so I am told) and the prices are right. The counter folks are helpful with answering my probably unusual questions which I appreciate.Casey R., Yelp Elite
