Iannelli's Bakery expanding

POSTED: Wednesday, March 24, 2010, 7:35 PM
Filed Under: Openings

The venerable Italian bakery Iannelli's (1155 E. Passyunk Ave.), which we recently featured in our Meal Ticket supplement piece on Philly pizza styles, is in the process of remodeling its tiny Passyunk Avenue storefront into a modest sit-down café, says owner Vincent Iannelli.

They're moving the register and deli case further back into the space to install counter seating, which will provide a full view of the 100-year-old brick oven the family's been using forever. (They've been in this location since 1965.) They'll add a selection of breakfast sandwiches, salads, panini and other gourmet sandwiches (filet, sautéed spinach and smoked gouda on their house-baked Italian bread; veal/pork meatballs; crab meatballs smothered in their new crab fra diavalo sauce), and there are plans for "Pasta Sundays," a flat-rate red-gravy meal deal. The new setup will also allow the bakery to expand its cake/cupcake business.

Iannelli says he's aiming to have the renovation complete in the next few months, ideally before summer hits.
