Paloma Version 2.0 dropping on Bella Vista
 |
Adan Saavedra and Barb Cohan-Saavedra, whose lauded haute Mexican sit-down Paloma closed in Northeast Philly in late 2009, are taking their ball and heading south — specifically to the Italian Market, where they'll resurrect their restaurant in early June, in what was Mezza Luna (763 S. Eighth St.).
Cohan-Saavedra, an attorney and former federal prosecutor who was also Paloma's pastry chef, tells Meal Ticket that she misses the restaurant game — and in a way, this close-to-Center-City locale serves as a full realization of the restaurant she and Adan ran for a decade. "Castor Avenue was our training wheels," she says of their slightly far-flung original address.
"We'll have the same name and same concept, and a lot of the same dishes on the menu," adds Cohan-Saavedra of the new-look Paloma, which'll seat roughly 70 and will serve dinner only to start out. "There would be a stampede if we started changing too much." Apparently, folks are already e-mailing in the hopes of landing reservations at the new spot, which'll be BYOB. Right now they're in the thick of cleaning, painting and ordering equipment.
