Checking out the new Capogiro

Checking out the new Capogiro
Last night, Meal Ticket popped by a reception celebrating the new Capogiro location in the Radian building at 3925 Walnut Street. It's now officially open to the public; they start early in the a.m. daily to do the caf� thing, with closing times of 11:30 p.m. weekdays and 1 a.m. weekends. (Sometimes, after several hours of heavy bourbon consumption, I start fancying a pistachio gelato-stuffed brioche, so this is a boon.)
The space, executed by URBANSPACEDEVELOPMENT, gently horseshoes around the gelato case/counter for a spacious feel. There are two major distinctions with this one from its Center City siblings (and the new one at 1625 East Passyunk � "Capoyunk," as co-owner Stephanie Reitano calls its fondly): a liquor license (we sampled a tasty cocktail with lemon sorbet and Prosecco) and an expanded food menu that features panini (BLT, mozzarella, ham and cheese, etc.), salads, crostini, bruschette and tramezzini (crustless sandwiches).
Blowuppable version of the menu after the jump.
