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.
