Kennett: One of Philadelphia’s Most Historic Restaurants

March 20, 2012 by

Philadelphia has a number of restaurants with impressive pedigrees, and Kennett is among them. This 2nd Street mainstay opened its doors in 1924 as the Kennett Café, but it doesn’t bear much resemblance now to what has gone before. The current Kennett Restaurant features a wood-fired pizza oven and locally-sourced ingredients, among other things, and has become a neighborhood favorite. Executive Chef Brian Ricci studied at the French Culinary Institute and plied his trade at several of Philadelphia’s top eateries before coming to Kennett. He specializes in vibrant, flavorful seasonal menus, and diners rave about his innovation in the kitchen. Some of the best dishes at Kennett include the incredible lamb burger, served with shaved onions, purple cabbage, and caper-laced cucumber yogurt slaw, as well as the delectable house-made gnocchi Parisian, served with Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, and farmer’s cheese. Kennett's pizzas are excellent, and the sticky toffee pudding might be one of the best desserts in town.

Via Veneto Pizza & Family Restaurant: The Best Pizza in Norristown

February 21, 2012 by

As its name suggests, Via Veneto Pizza & Family Restaurant is the perfect place for a family night out or dinner with a large group of friends. This Italian restaurant serves American-style portions and flavors, so expect heaping helpings and added menu items like burgers and hoagies. The pizza is made either Neopolitan (thin-crust) or the classical Sicilian thick-crust style with a range of toppings that stand out among the range of stromboli and calzone choices. Pasta platters are deep and flavorful, but don’t be surprised if you need to get a box to-go as the portions are seemingly endless. Though the American entrees seem somewhat incongruous on this otherwise all-Italian menu, they are each prepared to reasonable standards.

The Sky is the Limit at Blue Sky Cafe

February 14, 2012 by

This eclectic Caribbean eatery is a pleasantly casual destination for anyone in the mood for moderately priced comfort foods or warm-weather drinks. The atmosphere complements the cuisine with a colorful bar area and plenty of chic decorations that keep up the tropical theme without veering into total tackiness. The menu features mostly fried and/or saucy selections, but there are occasional buffets available—ranging from appetizers to full-on barbecue. For the ultimate in comfort food indulgence, try the mac ‘n’ cheese, made with five different cheeses based on a carefully guarded secret recipe.

Cafe Lift: Breakfast Delights

January 24, 2012 by

Philadelphians love brunch and Cafe Lift serves up a delicious array of breakfast favorites. An oasis in a fairly deserted area, Cafe Lift exudes a hip, industrial aura entered into through a freight lift (hence the moniker). Entrees here run around $8 and the offerings are the typical treats you crave in the morning with a fresh twist. Egg dishes include the Jens Crespelle (scrambled eggs in a crepe smothered in maple syrup) and fried egg paninos: two fried eggs, veggies, and cheese nestled in a warmed panini. The sweet stuff is particularly enticing: you can try lemon ricotta pancakes, cannoli french toast, and nutty monkey crespelle! Lunch offerings include fairly standard and inexpensive paninis and salads. It’s best to visit Cafe Lift in the morning for their breakfast selection. Unlike many Philly brunch places, this cafe is still a hidden gem — so the time you'll wait for a table will be brief!
