Pat Bombino’s Opens In South Philly

In this age of Tuscan trattorias and upscale, post-Vetri Northern Italian restaurants… it’s good to see an old-fashioned red sauce n’ mozzarella Italian-American joint opening up. We just got word from Michael Klein of South Philly’s new Pat Bombinio’s on 9th & Catherine:


Chef/owners Al Paris and Matthew DiNatale are serving such rustic dishes as grappa-cured salmon and beef Brasato in a comfy-elegant dining room decorated in browns, golds and burnt oranges. Entrees are $12 for spaghetti and meatballs to $32 for lobster and artichoke. It’s open Tuesdays through Saturdays for dinner; Saturdays and Sundays for a $14.95 fixed-price brunch, and from 3 to 7 p.m. Sundays for what they call Sunday gravy (family-style dinners). It’s BYOB, though they’re offering wine storage.
