Daphne,
It aired 1/19. The thing was, the current owners' father, Paul Villari Jr, passed away after seeing the transformation in person. On the show, they dedicate the episode to him.
For the life of us, we cannot figure what month they did the actual filming. We'll ask when we go there, for sure.
It was a dated and totally forgetable place when we got a reservation TWO DAYS before a Valentine's Day after the Hubby procrastinated calling my fave 1 + 2 restaurants. There is no 3. In fact, 1 and 2 have seriously dropped off the list. Too friggin expensive and not memorable, either.
I'm hoping the addition of the new Executive Chef has made an impression and sticks. Not a great location, but it has history with the "townies". Rumor has it, back in its heyday, it was a local "hangout" and a bit of a gambling site because it was just over the bridge from Philly and Jersey liquor stores are privately owned and had many different hours from the PA State Liquor Control Board rules.
Too cool!
