Arugula Ristorante: Savor the Taste of Italy

January 6, 2015 11:59 am

Imagine sitting down to an authentic Italian meal on the Amalfi Coast: You savor the taste of fresh, local produce, handmade pastas, and a cornucopia of quality meats and seafood. Well, that's exactly what you'll get at Arugula Ristorante, where the service and cuisine are both modeled after an authentic Italian trattoria.

This Plymouth Meeting restaurant's wood burning oven turns out expertly grilled meat and offers the white-hot heat that gives pizza crust a satisfying char. Yelp reviewers give special praise to Arugula's grilled calamari as an appetizer, and they say the restaurant's complimentary bruschetta is pretty tasty, too. For main dishes, anything with the vodka sauce gets a good review, and the veal medallions with prosciutto, sage, and mozzarella is reportedly delicious.

Note that Arugula is a BYOB, so be sure to pick up a bottle of your favorite vintage to enjoy with your meal.

Corropolese Bakery & Deli: Sweet Treats

December 30, 2014 2:34 pm

Today Corropolese Bakery & Deli is a Montgomery County institution with several successful locations. But in 1924, Corropolese Bakery was a small family-run shop, making hearty and authentic Italian breads, rolls, and pastries for local workers. Now, almost a century later, the shop in Norristown is the original and the flagship, baking fresh rolls, slicing deli meats, and serving up slices of their famous tomato pies (Yelp reviewers call the tomato pie here the best in the Philadelphia region).

Hungry on your lunch break? Stop by for a hot hoagie, a slice of pizza and a cannoli. Throwing a party? Place an order for one of Corropolese’s gourmet lunch meat platters, famous meatball trays, sheet of iced cookies, or a custom cake for your upcoming birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion. In short, Corropolese has become a neighborhood institution that never goes stale; you just might find yourself going back again and again.
