Early word on Philly's Serafina outpost

The friendly folks who run New York City's Serafina locations shared a few preliminary details on their first Philly location, tentatively slated for a fall 2010 opening in the 10 Rittenhouse building (18th and Sansom). Was not able to get the number of leggy blonde at right, sorry.
The Northern Italian restaurant, which'll be the sixth in the Serafina fleet, is set to take over the first and second floors of the 33-story 10 Rittenhouse luxury condo complex. Serafina will be situated on 18th and Sansom, with street views from the 100-seat dining room (outdoor seating, too). A bar area will overlook the space, and there'll be an elevated pizza kitchen to provide a bit of dough-stretching theatrics for diners. The first floor will also feature a bakery and coffee bar; the second floor has been earmarked for private dining and events.
We're told the kitchen will take a local approach to sourcing its ingredients for the menu, which'll likely be large and feature all manner of antipasti, pastas, risottos and pizza (they're serious about the latter, using 00 Italian flour, filtered water and Sicilian sea salt for their doughs). Apps will range rom $7 to $15, entrées will run $17 to $28 and desserts will be $8. A rep says that opening this summer would be tremendous but fall is a more realistic projection.
