Cicala at The Divine Lorraine

Cicala at the Divine Lorraine is a gorgeous fine-dining Italian restaurant and wedding rehearsal dinner venue on North Broad Street in Philadelphia, PA. Your wedding ceremony can be held on the outdoor patio or in the adjacent hotel lobby as your closest friends and family watch you swap your vows and say, "I do." You and your loved ones can experience fine dining under the beautiful chandeliers in the main dining room at Cicala at the Divine Lorraine. The venue is perfect for intimate gatherings or lavish affairs and can accommodate up to 150 people. It features an antique bar handcrafted and imported from Italy, seven sparkling chandeliers, and velvet-covered booths offering unmatched comfort. The building has stood since 1892 and was considered to be one of the most desired locations in Philadelphia around the turn of the nineteenth century. Despite undergoing renovations in 2018, the original brick-exposed walls, hardwood floors, beams, and windows remain visible and a key attraction for couples and their guests. For more casual gatherings, cross the lobby to the sister pizzeria, Sorellina, for rehearsals, welcome receptions, or showers.
