NOW OPEN: Trios Trattoria

The latest biz to try its hand at making standalone restaurant at the corner of Girard and Orianna thrive is Trios Trattoria (342 W. Girard Ave., 215-627-1000), which opened July 7. Place is so named because it's got three owners � Mario and Natale Presta, owners of Old City's Bocca and Manayunk's Bella Trattoria, and Melvin Marrero, who began working for the couple in 1983 and now has his own stake.

Pizza's the primary thing here, which seems like a wise populist move considering the space's many false starts (Chinese, wings/Puerto Rican, random global, etc.) They're doing three kinds � traditional crust, thick Sicilian crust and cracker-thin square tomato pie, which comes topped four different ways. Also on the menu � stromboli, salads, pasta, burgers/steaks, hot and cold wraps and pasta trays.

Hours: Mon.-Thu., 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sun., 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

Full menu after the jump.

Is this the old El Wingador spot?  What was the random/global place that was there after El Wingador closed?

Yumm. Yummm!!! The best pizza in the area, by far!!!  Have tried most items on the menu and found everything to be very good.  There is non-menu item that is out of this world, but you can only find out what it is by going and eating in.  It is worth going, believe me!!!!

The pizza is excellent. I have also had a couple different pasta dishes which were excellent. In particular the penne rosa is DELICIOUS. There are not many good pizza places in Northern Liberties so Trios Trattoria is a welcomed addtion to the neighborhood.
