Nana Petrillo's bringing Capogiro to NoLibs
nanapetrillos.com Joe Cleary, a Hancock Square resident, is bringing Nana Petrillo's, a dessert and coffee bar, to the Piazza at Schmidts in early June. Cleary, who works in banking, says he felt the Piazza area needed a dedicated sweet spot — he plans on offering at least 18 varieties of Capogiro daily, plus coffees from local roasters Café Excellence. In keeping with the Italian theme (Nana Petrillo was his maternal grandmother), he's also planning on carrying cannoli, pizzelle and the like. They'll have outdoor seating and a standing rail on the inside; Cleary says he hopes to open early for a.m. coffee heads and operate till late to sate the post-dinner gelato crowd. mike Posted 2010-05-14 16:15:06

Wow, finally. The piazza has no good coffee. Darlings is a let down on many levels.
Yay! This makes me happy.
no sweet spots? liberties walk has brown betty's and an entire candy (with ice cream) store. i like capogiros, but damn, this is out of the stephen starr "there are no good cocktails in philly" book of PR.
Rory, that was my phrase and not his. Sorry if it was unclear — he said he felt the Piazza needed an ice cream/water ice/gelato type of place, so slightly different approach than a Brown Betty's or a Little Candy Shoppe.
Thank you for helping us get the word out.. Thank you for also stating that your wording was used and not mine.. I want every small business owner/store in north libs to successful...
This excites me since I'm not a fan of La Colombe. I love a coffee shop that serves better local coffee! Can't wait to come by when you open.
