Two Old City restaurants become one
Arrivaderci, Rocchino and Azione (239-241 Chestnut), we barely knew ye. Gordon Dinerman and Rob LaScala have reintroduced the side-by-side spaces as Barra, an uptown sibling to Dinerman's Birra pizzeria on Passyunk. Expect coal-oven pies, scampi-style prawns, black-pepper fettuccine carbonara and other twisted Italian standards from chef Andrew Fox, who will split his time between Old City and South Philly. The restaurant will serve till 1 a.m. nightly, and Dinerman and LaScala are promising "progressive lighting and top DJs" Thursday through Sunday. Looks like a return to the Paradigm days for 241 Chestnut. Makes us want to order an espresso martini and fire up a Parliament.
