New on Resy: Prunella, Adelinas, Mish Mish, and More

Local restaurant-biz power player Michael Schulson scores again with this latest addition to his collection — his third Italian effort. The specialty here is crisp-crust Roman-style pizza with names like Made to Speck and Octo-Pie, hot from the wood-burning oven that perfumes the air.

Expect the unexpected (tri-color gnocchi with lobster and ginger) and the comfortably familiar (Nonna Adelinas’ chicken soup) at this Chestnut Hill Italian from the Presta brothers of Trios Tomato Pie in Glenside and Elkins Park.

Alex Tewfik, proprietor of this East Passyunk Mediterranean gem, knows a thing or two about restaurants: He’s been the editor of Eater Philadelphia and the food editor of Philadelphia Magazine. His menu is short but deliciously conceived (marinated mussels with lobster-buttered bread, anyone?) and his wine list spans six Mediterranean countries.

Sustainably sourced, seasonal vegan dishes even meat-eaters will love and an array of zero-proof cocktails, beer, and wine are the thing at this community-focused establishment under the auspices of Unity Recovery, a recovery support agency.

Look for something new at this modest but well-loved Middle Metropolis kebab emporium. Frequent James Beard Best Chef nominee Konstantinos Pitsillides has stepped aside in favor of Tayfun Abuska, whose additions to the popular Greek and Cypriot menu veer toward his native Turkey.

Now here’s a place that’s hot in more ways than one — an elegant Sichuan hideaway near Rittenhouse Square that has diners lining up for tastes of vivid, spice-forward dishes such as pork dumplings with chile oil and cumin lamb noodles.

Brian Sirhal and chef Tim Spinner of Cantina Feliz in Fort Washington strike culinary gold again with La Calaca (“The Skull” — Day of the Dead style) in Fairmont. Expect modern Mexican fare with offbeat tacos and four kinds of guacamole in a bright, buzzy dining room.

Step into this lively, roomy Northern Liberties brewpub for craft beers made in-house, brick-oven pizza, and a host of beer-friendly appetizers. Pro tip: Come Friday evenings for live jazz and blues or Saturdays for funk, soul, hip-hop, and jazz on ever-spinning vinyl.

Here’s one you won’t want to miss: an airy, greenery-framed place with a mostly Italian menu, a friendly bar, a slew of craft beers on tap, and live jazz and other music three nights a week — plus a bluegrass brunch every second Sunday.

A suburban standout in a vintage brick building on a corner in Lansdale, Stove & Tap is big (with two levels and lots of outdoor space) but has a homey feel and a welcoming vibe. The (mostly) all-American comfort-food menu keeps locals coming back for more.

An offshoot of the bustling Stove & Tap in Lansdale, this 7,500-square-foot Malvern hot spot features two long bars (inside and outside), a line of high-backed booths, and a feast of irresistible comfort-food dishes that adds flatbreads to the original Lansdale menu.

You’ll want to become a regular at this newest addition to the Stove & Tap family for its clubby atmosphere, lively bar scene, and deeply satisfying gastropub fare — not to mention its weeknight “Tappy Hour,” featuring bargain-priced drinks and $8 snacks.

Sure, there are pizzas galore at this spacious indoor-outdoor restaurant at the Weatherstone Town Center in Chester Springs, launched by the team behind the Stove & Tap mini-chain — but you’ll be missing out if you ignore the crostini, salads, sandwiches, pastas, and mussels four ways.

Suburban Philadelphia restaurant moguls Justin Weather and Joe Monnich go modern Mexican with this lively Exton cantina, complete with sombrero light fixtures, a room-length Day-of-the-Dead-themed mural, and a menu of tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more — and where else can you find a fajita pizza?

If you like the sound of old-school nautical decor, a bustling octagonal bar, and a menu of meat and fresh-off-the-boat seafood — including surf-and-turf combinations of steak with crabmeat or lobster tail — look no further than this Cape May classic.
