Early word on Revolution House
Filed Under: Openings
We just ran into restaurateur Luca Sena (Penn's View Hotel, Panorama) on the corner of Second and Market, and he agreed to give us a couple preliminary details on his takeover of the long-running Snow White Diner. The space, which he's calling Revolution House — "Because I was always the rebel in my family," Sena explains — will be bilevel, with bars both on the ground floor and on a skydeck overlooking Old City. A peek inside the diner's door reveals that the space has been 100 percent gutted; Sena says he's relying on green techniques/materials for the buildout. Food-wise, they'll be serving "American food with a European touch" — Sena has a chef but can't name him publicly yet. One detail he did share, though — they'll be doing pizzas in a hand-crafted oven built with materials sourced from his hometown of Naples (this includes volcanic stone from Mt. Vesuvio). "We want to reclaim Old City as a place to have dinner, and not just drinks," Sena says. Revolution House will ideally be open in late August.
