Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Glenside

Our first time in this gem of a restaurant, and all I can say is, “WOW!”. The vibe is relaxed and casual with good tunes playing in the background. The service is outstanding. Our server was attentive, friendly, had good energy, was informative and helpful with descriptions of the menu options, and had recommendations when we asked for them. Now let’s talk about the food. Oh, the food…it is DELICIOUS! Pietramala is a foodie’s paradise. Do not let the relaxed vibe fool you. This food is elevated in the best way possible. Presentation on the plate along with the flavor explosion for your tastebuds come together for an exquisite dining experience. The small and thoughtful menu feels unpretentious but very deliberate. Oh yeah, and the chef may come over to your table and have a heartfelt conversation about ingredient choices and answer any questions you may have. (Thank you, Chef Jack!). Did I mention that it’s an open kitchen? You can watch the talented geniuses create their masterpieces. Go with a friend (or a few) and get the Focaccia, Then order at least 2 items from each category: “To Start”, “Mid Course”, “Main Course”, and “Dessert”. Taste and share as much as your tummy can handle. You will not regret a single bite. If your tastebuds are working, you will fall in love with everything about Pietramala.

Surprisingly--for a chain-- tasty and thoughtfully prepared food. Friendly.
