A steakhouse coming to Passyunk Avenue?
Luke Palladino is best known for his Jersey ventures (in Linwood, Northfield and Atlantic City) he's bringing his upscale Italian/steakhouse game to East Passyunk.
Taking over the long-shuttered Colombo on the corner of Juniper and Passyunk, Palladino's is being billed as an upscale Italian-seafood-steak spot with a full bar and seating for 80 inside and 40 outside during warmer months. The planned opening date for this new Passyunk addition is late 2014 (November, hopefully) and will happily coincide with the soon-to-be-revamped Gateway at Broad and Passyunk.
