Then schedule a convenient time to visit their Paoli kitchen to prepare your own meals. They supply all the ingredients, utensils and step-by-step instructions. Better yet, they do all the cleaning up afterwards.

So Philly has the Italian Market and Di Bruno Bros. Big deal. The Main Line has Carlino’s. We especially love the selection of homemade to-go dishes. Daily specialties include chicken piccata, veal scallopini, stuffed flounder with vegetables, and more. And don’t forget to pick up one of their amazing desserts—like the chocolate flour-less cake or orange mascarpone cheesecake—all of them baked in-house. Opening this month: a new Carlino’s on Market Street in West Chester.
