The 16 Best New Restaurants in America, Eater

“When a devilishly clever rendition of kids’ menu buttered noodles hits the table at a buzzy new restaurant, it’s clear that at least one hot spot has an allergy to pretension. Musi prioritizes the things that diners ought to demand — a menu informed by local product and a kitchen connected to the region’s best purveyors — but the restaurant doesn’t beat you over the head with it. It’s just the baseline upon which former pop-up chef Ari Miller builds a dinner, and the meal can wend its way through an expert country pate, an earthy beef-heart tartare…”

12 Reasons to Go Eat in Philadelphia Right Now, New York Magazine

'“5. Bow-tie pasta that will make you feel like a kid again.
There are a lot of reasons to love Ari Miller’s Musi: The menu’s descriptions are hilarious (“It’s okay if you don’t know what komatsuna is, we had to Google it, too”), the homey décor looks like it was chosen by someone’s mom, and nothing on the menu is more than $18.

Everyone loves it, including noted Philadelphia culinary authority Questlove, and once you’ve eaten this delightfully unfussy and simple dish, you will, too.” - Nikita Richardson
