Paradiso: Restaurant & Wine Bar is celebrating 10 excellent years—and helping to launch the East Passyunk Avenue corridor as Philadelphia’s top restaurant destination—with a not-to-be-missed dinner on Monday, December 1, at 6:30 p.m. Paradiso’s neighbors, who just happen to be the Avenue’s top talented chefs, will be collaborating on a start-studded 10-course dinner.
The prix fixe menu features top chefs from the Avenue, with the first course and hors d’oeuvres from Paradiso’s own Chef/Owner Lynn Rinaldi, followed by courses from Chris Kearse, of Will BYOB; Nicholas Elmi, of Laurel; Luke Palladino, of Palladino’s; Franca DiRenzi, of Tre Scalini; JonCarl Lachman, of Noord; Townsend Wentz, of Townsend; Lee Styler, of Fond and Corey Baver, of Izumi; and desserts by Jesse Prawlucki-Styler, of Belle Cakery.
“When I moved onto the Avenue, Paradiso was an empty furniture store. There wasn’t much around as far as progressive or modern dining. I wanted to bring modern, seasonal Italian to the Avenue,” said Rinaldi. “We always supported and embraced when these wonderfully talented chefs started opening up alongside us. We built a unique community of culinary talent and supportive business owners. This dinner is our way of celebrating our community and our continued strive for excellence.”

The cost of the dinner is $125 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Suggested wine pairings will be offered. For reservations, patrons may call (215) 271-2066.
