Pennsport's Musi is one of Eater's best new restaurants in the U.S. for 2019, according to the dining website's newly-released list.

The South Philly BYOB boasts all locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients, with a focus on a relationship between the food provider and its chef. 

"This is about the relationships we have, the ones we remember and those to be built," the restaurant wrote in a recent Instagram caption.

Musi is going on six months in business at the corner of Front and Morris streets. After a brief hiatus, the kitchen opens back up on July 11. The seasonal menu is available a la carte or for a $65 pre-fix, multi-course meal. 

On Eater's list, restaurant editor Hillary Dixler Canavan noted the buttered bow-tie noodles on the menu, which are an elevated take on the classic kids meal. 

"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," Dixler Canavan writes.
