Details and a name for Peter McAndrews' Media spot
"In my mind, it's also like we're opening the door to your palate," says the chef, who promises pizzas cooked a new wood-burning oven, as well as Venetian-style bar snacks called cicchetti and daily specials like whole-roasted fish and porchetta.
Details and a name for Peter McAndrews' Media spot
Back in June, we told you about Peter McAndrews' plans for the old Locust Crest Tavern (1191 N. Middletown Road) in Media. The chef and restaurateur — four eateries qualifies for restaurateur status, no? — behind Monsù, Paesano’s and Modo Mio is calling the spot Il Porto, Italiano for "the door." The name comes from the antique walk-in McAndrews discovered inside the place during renovations, its door etched with the year 1936. “In my mind, it’s also like we’re opening the door to your palate,” says the chef, who promises pizzas cooked a new wood-burning oven, as well as Venetian-style bar snacks called cicchetti and daily specials like whole-roasted fish and porchetta. Il Porto will seat about 30 at the bar and 45 more in two dining rooms. McAndrews says the place is about a month away.
