<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A hard-to-get reservation is prized among serious restaurant-goers, but a table limited to members only seems to be the Philadelphia diner's Holy Grail. Palizzi Social Club is 100 years old this year in South Philly, but it was after chef Joey Baldino took over from his late uncle Ernie that business really started to boom. Palizzi has mastered the balance of old-school Italian kitsch and super-high-quality food and cocktails. Once a gathering place for the Abruzzi-American community, Palizzi Social Club is a current hot spot: members can take up to three guests, and if the light is on outside, they're open. In 2017, Palizzi was named Bon Appetit's #4 Best New Restaurant, Esquire's honorable mention best new restaurant, and Eater Philly's #1 restaurant of the year. Chef Joey's menu at Palizzi has a broad Southern Italian scope. Seventy adaptable, accessible recipes throughout include dishes like: Fennel and Orange Salad, Arancini with Ragu and Peas, Spaghetti with Crabs, Stromboli, Hazelnut Torrone. Come on in, and join the club."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A Special Invitation to a Delicious Members-Only Experience</b><b><br></b>A hard-to-get reservation is prized among serious restaurant-goers, but a table limited to members only seems to be the Philadelphia diner's Holy Grail.

With beautiful stories and delicious recipes, this book preserves the memory and celebrates the heart of Italian culture in the city and transports you to a dinner at the club.--<i><b>Marcus Samuelsson, Award-Winning Chef, Restaurateur, andCo-Owner of the Red Rooster Harlem</b></i><br><br>Joey Baldino cooks from his heart, without pretense, and in celebration of those who ate, drank, and communed at the club before him. <i>Dinner at the Club</i> brings to life the richness and magic of Italian-American South Philly, and the collection of winning recipes will coax all who enter your home kitchen to 'eat a lot, drink more, and mostly: be social.' <br>--<i><b>Danny Meyer, restaurateur and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group</b></i><br><br>Old-world flavors and heartfelt presentation make for a delicious mix in this rare look inside a South Philly institution.--<i><b>-Publishers Weekly starred review</b></i><br><br>Palizzi Social Club is a South Philly institution and a national destination: old school, authentic, and with food any Italian grandmother would co-sign on.
