This romantic Italian BYOB in Rittenhouse Square has been undergoing some renovations and reopened its doors last month. Philly Weekly has a great write-up on this inexpensive and cozy BYOB.

Despite its late start, Casta Diva became many an Italophile’s go-to BYOB. But after going steady for six years, chef/owner Stephen Vassalluzzo closed for a decorating exorcism that cast out the gilt mirrors, dusty drapes and faded buttercup paint. Reopened in September, the space’s new walls alternate soft sage and deep evergreen, embellished with framed opera posters and circular mirrors clustered together like Prosecco bubbles. Cherry floors shine like steamrolled red licorice, leading the way into a 20-seat expansion.
