Chris D'Ambro, the chef who parted ways with Old City resto-lounge Bocca in September, must have done something special to capture the tastebuds of many diners in the city. People keep asking us where he went, so we gave him a ring to get some new details.
The chef is in the planning phase of a menu for the Columbus Inn (2216 Pennsylvania Ave.), in Wilmington, DE, where he will serve as executive chef upon opening this winter.� "The Columbus Inn is a very historic building that had operated as a restaurant for a hundred-plus years," he said. "Over the last three years it has been vacant... so the current owners have gutted the inside, hired a kitchen and interior designer, and are renovating and restoring the property. Whatever we can salvage will be saved."
D'Ambro is developing a full dining room and bar menu in a contemporary American style, "keeping the seasons in mind," he said.� The restaurant will have a liquor license and full bar.� If construction schedules play out as planned, D'Ambro expects to open in February or early March.� We'll keep you up to date with more details as they develop.
