James Details
James, a newcomer to the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia, has been garnering widespread praise since it opened.
In August 2007,
Philadelphia Magazine
gave James' roast chicken its
"Best of Philly" Entrée award
, citing its "moist, meaty and aromatic" flavor and texture.
But that was only the beginning — James just recently received national recognition when
Food & Wine
called its risotto alla Kristina one of the "
Ten Best Dishes of 2007
."
The restaurant serves Italian and contemporary American cuisine with a farm-fresh twist.
Cuisine
James' menu weaves local, seasonal produce and humanely raised meats into creative Italian and American dishes. Ingredients change seasonally, so the menu is always boasting new innovations.
A few crowd-pleasers include sautéed langostino tails with whipped ricotta and grapefruit, hand-rolled gargarnelli with celery broth and braised rabbit agnolotti with muscat grapes.
The aforementioned risotta alla Kristina, named after co-owner Kristina Burke and created by her husband, Chef Jim Burke, is also very popular and accented with oysters and prosecco.
Or consider ordering the roast chicken if it's on the seasonal menu — either way, you know you're getting one of the best entrées, if not
the
best entrée, in the city.
