Posted by Foobooz on February 1st, 2012
Zagat gets the scoop on Peter McAndrews’ next restaurant in Philadelphia. Popolino will specialize in Roman fare and will feature an antipasti bar that is priced by weight. McAndrews aims to open the BYOB on the western edge of Northern Liberties in the former Lafayette Bistro at 5th and Fairmount.
McAndrews who owns Modo Mio, Monsu and two Paesano’s is about to open Il Porto, a Venetian wine bar in Media.

Tough location but if he can spin his magic to fill seats at night on that stretch of Ninth Street with monsu he will make it work here.

Well the original Paesano’s is on the south side of Girard to make it in Northern Liberties territory. So yes, he already is in Nolibs.

and then starting the body with “Avenue.” But that just seemed mean.
