Chef Luke Palladino announces that his new restaurant at 1934 East Passyunk Avenue will officially open for business on Thursday, December 18 at 5:00 p.m. The restaurant – which is named Palladino’s, after its chef – will join LP STEAK, Luke Palladino Seasonal Italian Cooking and Luke Palladio Catering as part of the Luke Palladino Hospitality Group.
The restaurant will start off by offering seasonal Italian cuisine, wood-fired steaks and chops, handcrafted pasta and decadent desserts. Ten dishes will be served during its opening weekend and they include:

Black Truffle-Foie Gras Sformato – roasted mushrooms, balsamico zabaglione
Stecchini Genovese – crisp skewer of sweetbreads, mushrooms, creste di gallo, veal and truffle polpette, mortadella, trugole cheese, mostarda aioli
Tortelli Di Zucca – butternut squash ravioli, sage brown butter and parmigiano reggiano
Casonsei – candy wrapper pasta filled with roasted beets, smoked ricotta, crushed poppy seed burro fuso
16oz. Veal Chop – all natural Dunedin veal, wild mushroom – prosciutto and sage crema
Pork Osso Bucco – rosemary citrus glaze, pickled mustard seeds, kale, walnut & farro risotto

Italian Cookies – Hazenut torrone, chocolate biscotti “doppio”, pistachio, chocolate salami, moscato zabaglione
Palladino’s will also be a great place to catch a game – with its marble and mahogany bar and three HD 60” televisions with a state-of-the-art sound system. Not to mention the nearly 50 Italian reds, whites, sparkling and dessert wines; four drafts, including two seasonal selections (starting with Italiano Birrificio Amber Shock and Nora Italian Ale); and a full selection of spirits and rare/hard-to-find bottles, cordials, apéritifs and digestifs available.
Taking over the former Columbo’s building, that was closed due to a fire in 2012, Palladino’s will be open Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, and Friday and Saturday 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Reservations are now available by calling 267-928-4339 or by visiting Opentable.com.
