About the restaurant

The Story of Josephine’s
The story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.

About the restaurant

The Sena family tradition of culinary excellence dates back to early 1947 when Carlo “Papa” Sena began to cook in postwar Naples. The family carried this experience across the Atlantic and opened La Famiglia in 1976 in the shell of a Colonial tea warehouse. Today, La Famiglia stands as the finest Italian restaurant in Philadelphia and a major landmark on the city’s vibrant restaurant scene.

We had a fabulous birthday dinner at Duling Kurtz! We are longtime residents of Chesco and have dined at most high end establishments in the area. Our experience was spectacular — from the friendly service to the scrumptious food! We started the meal with a freshly baked crusty and chewy popover with honey. It was only a hint of great things to come! We started with appetizers including lobster bisque, apple spinach salad and baked brie with strawberry sauce and almonds. The bisque was flavorful and light enough not to kill your appetite. The spinach green apple salad had a light creamy dressing with just a hint of Gorgonzola and lovely walnuts for crunch. The Brie baked in puff pastry with strawberry sauce and slivered almonds was the BEST! Creamy, warm and beautifully complemented with a strawberry sauce — not too sweet but just enough to enhance the buttery Brie. For dinner, my husband and I both had the wiener schnitzel with lingonberry sauce and spaetzel. The meal was hearty and delicious. The schnitzel was lightly coated and tender with an amazing accompanying gravy. My daughter had the lobster and crab crepes with Brie lobster sauce — it’s easy to understand why they are the “house specialty”! They were SO good…we all shared, tried everything. Our palates and appetites were completely satisfied! We were so full, we ordered dessert to-go. Our sweet server was amazing…she even accommodated our request to take pictures! Overall, it was a fabulous dining experience. Duling Kurtz is our new special occasion dinner location!
