Philly Cheesesteak Fans Rejoice as Michelin Guides Their Way to Perfection
When Philly finally made its mark on the Michelin Guide, it wasn't just a single restaurant that earned top honors - but rather three esteemed eateries and 10 others that received a well-deserved Bib Gourmand recognition. While the coveted stars don't single out a specific dish, diners can rest assured that each of these institutions serves up an authentic Philly cheesesteak experience.
Leading the pack is Del Rossi's (538 N. 4th St.), a Northern Liberties pizza and sandwich shop that has been making waves since its 2012 opening. Current owner Nish Patel took over in 2020 and invested years of work into perfecting their signature cheesesteaks, now made with house-baked rolls from an on-site bakery. While Patel acknowledges the Michelin nod will fuel debate about the best cheesesteak in town, he's thrilled to be part of the conversation.
Next up is Dalessandro's (600 Wendover St.), a Roxborough institution since 1960 that has been touted as one of the city's top cheesesteak spots by major publications like U.S. News and World Report. The iconic eatery boasts an impressive roster of regulars, including Roots' Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter and late-night host Jimmy Fallon.
Last but certainly not least is Angelo's (736 S. 9th St.), a relative newcomer since its 2019 opening in the former Sarcone's Deli location. This celebrity-studded eatery has garnered rave reviews for both its pizzas and cheesesteaks, with fans lining up around the block to get their hands on a slice.
As the debate about the best Philly cheesesteak continues to rage, having Michelin's stamp of approval is certainly a feather in one's cap. Whether you're a local or just visiting, these three eateries are sure to deliver an unforgettable experience that will leave your taste buds singing.

! it's awesome that the Michelin guide is giving some much-needed love to all the amazing eats in the city. I've been to del Rossi's with my kiddo and oh man, their cheesesteaks are a game changer 
! and dalessandro's has been a fave of mine since i was a kid 
. now that michelin is on board, i'm even more excited to try some new places like angelo's 
. it's so cool how the guide highlights all these hidden gems in philly - my kids are going to love trying them out with me 
!
i mean, what's next? them gonna start charging extra for the good stuff just 'cause it's got a fancy rating? and dont even get me started on how these places are already getting all the attention now... im sure the real deal joints in south philly or northbrook il will be pushed out of the spotlight 
Michelin Guides are like the foodie Oscars 
and Philly finally gets the recognition it deserves 
! Three restaurants and 10 Bib Gourmands? That's a whole lotta cheesesteak love 
! Del Rossi's, Dalessandro's, and Angelo's are serving up the best of the best 
. I'm hyped to try them out and see if they live up to all the hype 
. Philly cheesesteaks for life 
i'm so hyped for philly cheesesteak fans!!! the michelin guide recognition for del rossi's, dalessandro's, and angelo's is like a dream come true! i've had my fair share of cheesesteaks in philly and let me tell you, these three spots are seriously on point. del rossi's has that perfect balance of flavors and their house-baked rolls are TO DIE FOR 
. But, have you noticed how many "best" cheesesteak debates there are? Like, what's up with that 
? Can't we all just agree to love the gooey cheese and juicy steak 
?
. Del Rossi's for me is about the perfect combo of flavors and textures, while Dalessandro's is more like a nostalgic trip back in time 
. And Angelo's? It's just pure star power 
️!
) but angelo's is giving me life with those celebrity chef pizzas and cheesesteaks
