Gordon Dinerman of Birra has recently helped Rob LaScala turn his Rocchino’s and Azione spots in Old City into one, larger restaurant called Barra.

Rob LaScalla (LaScala, duh) bought Paradigm and Dulce over the summer. By the end of the week both will be open as affordable Italian concepts. Rocchino’s is open at Paradigm’s old address and will serve a menu of pizzas and pastas. Opening Thursday is Azione, an affordable red-gravy Italian spot that will serve family style. [The Insider]

Rob LaScala who owns LaScala’s at 7th and Chestnut purchased Paradigm and Dolce back in January with the promise that they would be reborn with new concepts. Today we have those concepts.
Paradigm’s space will become Joe’s Kitchen & Wine Bar. The spot will focus on charcuterie, imported cheese and antipasti plates.
Baratta will go into the Dolce space and will offer brick-oven pizzas and an Abruzze menu from LaScala’s chef Joe Nocella.
Both restaurants are aiming for a pre-Restaurant Week September opening.
