Joe Scarpone's Ulivo shoots for early November
Joe Scarpone, who earned many well-deserved looks for his cooking at Northern Liberties' Sovalo (now Blind Pig), is shooting for Nov. 7 to open Ulivo, a simplified, downmarket BYOB take on his Italian fine-dining style, at Passyunk and Catharine. "We were able to get in here fast and turn it around to do the food I was doing at Sovalo, which is exciting," says Scarpone, whose changes to the old Trattoria Alla Costiera have been cosmetic in nature. The chef, whose last restaurant residency was at Manayunk's Agiato, characterizes the 50-seat Ulivo ("olive" in Italian) as a neighborhood- and family-oriented operation with focus placed on technique and execution (lots of handmade pasta); entrées will top out at a very reasonable $21.
