Info on Zavino, opening in October at 13th and Sansom
 |
Zavino (112 S. 13th St.), from the extremely well-traveled Steve Gonzalez, is up for an October opening in the bustling Midtown Village cluster that'll soon welcome newcomers like Michael Schulson's Sampan and Jason and Delphine Evenchik's Bar, among the many existing eateries/drinkeries. Chef Gonzalez will serve a seasonal, affordable Italian menu (with an "authentic European sensibility"), from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily, in a space that'll accommodate just under 40. (Philly Chit Chat has an artist's rendering of the interior.) Pizzas will be fired in a wood-burning oven that'll blister dough at 900 degrees. Check out a few sample dishes after the jump.
- Artichoke pizza: thinly sliced artichokes, Swiss chard and pecorino Romano cheese
- Rosa pizza: tomato sauce and roasted garlic
- Margherita pizza: tomato sauce and buffalo mozzarella, topped with fresh basil
- Polpettini pizza: tomato sauce and provolone cheese with veal mini-meatballs
- House-made beef ravioli with brown butter and sage
- Roasted red and golden beets with pistachios and goat cheese
- Roasted lamb with fried eggplant and mint
- Traditional panzanella
- Cheese and charcuterie
Why doesnt he just call it Osteria and then his unoriginality will be complete.
