Daily News | Fiore Fine Foods is planning to move to East Kensington after 4 years in South Philadelphia
Seeking an improved quality of life, chefs Justine MacNeil and Ed Crochet plan to move their Italian restaurant, Fiore Fine Foods, from Queen Village to smaller, cafe-style digs in East Kensington.
The last day of service at 757 S. Front St. will be April 1, and they hope to open in late spring or early summer at 2413 Frankford Ave., the former Flow State Coffee Bar.The move from a full-service, 78-seat restaurant with bar to a 20-seat cafe will come with abbreviations of both the concept and the name .The couple will offer their Italian pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and gelati by the pint and scoop , as well as pastas, stews, soups, and other savory dishes.
Crochet and MacNeil relocated to Philadelphia in 2018 after leaving high-profile New York jobs — she as executive pastry chef at Del Posto, he as chef de cuisine at Craft, and then executive chef for Starr Catering at the New-York Historical Society and Carnegie Hall. After Crochet had taken a job at Rat’s Restaurant in Hamilton Township, N.J., the couple sought to establish roots in a city that MacNeil said had an “approachable, human scale.
Fiore opened in early 2019 to acclaim at the short-lived Kanella South, which previously was The Village Belle and Frederick’s. The pandemic shut them down, sending them first to make quarts of soup and pints of gelato for pickups, which paved the path to dinners to-go. Pastry and breakfast sandwiches returned, followed by the return ofdinner service. Then came the second shutdown, which they said gave them the push to think outside of the box of what a restaurant is.
“We looked towards maybe doing a different path, where we both could still be chefs and both make the food we want to do,” MacNeil said.Moving to daytime hours, MacNeil said, “we think will help a lot of team members and give everyone a better work-life balance, allowing them to do stuff with their families, which is just kind of impossible with a p.m. restaurant.”
