“We’re not a chain,” said Kevin Romasco, who with his wife, Josie, and another couple, Josh and April Egal, opened Four Twelve Project Winery and Dinery this past February. “We use locally-sourced products and offer a farm-to-table menu. And when I say farm-to-table, we take into consideration how many hands have touched the product. In our case, it’s the farmer, the butcher, and then us.”

On a spring Thursday morning we found ourselves visiting a few stores in the Strip District.  It was  about eleven AM when we realized we hadn’t stopped for breakfast. I suggested Pamela’s. I would not have made that suggestion on the weekends or in prime breakfast or lunch times, but at 11AM on a Thursday I was sure it was a good idea. Our two

My husband and I were in Heidelberg visiting someone in a nursing home, and after our visit, we were looking for a good place to eat.

I recently showed up

During each of my several visits to Yovi’s over the last few months, I’ve tried to ask at least one patron about this eatery serving Chicago-style hot dogs. The answers I received included: “You won’t be sorry you discovered this place.” “Never disappointing.” “About once a week, I walk past a dozen nice restaurants to have lunch here.” It’s not only the words folks use

Since it opened in 2005, Piccolo Forno, this ever-changing Lawrenceville destination at 3801 Butler Street, has given its customers a unique dining experience. In its early days it wasn’t easy to find a parking spot, and with Lawrenceville’s star growing brighter with each coming year, this task has only become more difficult.
