NOW OPEN: Kris
Here's one we unintentionally missed in the thick of this month's opening madness: Kris (1100 Federal St.), the redo of Kristian's Ristorante we first told you about way back in July.
NOW OPEN: Kris
Here's one we unintentionally missed in the thick of this month's opening madness: Kris (1100 Federal St.), the redo of Kristian's Ristorante we first told you about way back in July. The spot's namesake, Kristian Leuzzi, closed his Italian fine-diner in 2009; the Stogie Joe's owner reopened the liquor-licensed space last week with a warmer, more casual look (no more tablecloths). There's room for 50 inside here, with seating spread out between a bar and rear dining room (the bar-area tables you see will soon be replaced by standing-room rounds). I swear I didn't ask the super-nice floor staff to pose in thoughtful tableau like that. They just did it naturally!
Chef Gregory Dooner's food reflects both Kris' South Philly roots (tripe and veal parmesan; potato gnocchi; risotto; fettucine bolognese) and some decidedly non-Italian touches (a hummus plate with charred artichokes; speck-stuffed rainbow trout with pomegranate/Brussels slaw). See the menu in full after the jump (click to enlarge). On the way in the new year: weekend brunch and outdoor seating. Hours right now: Mon.-Thu, 4-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 4 p.m.mid; Sun., 3-10 p.m.
