“Where authentic Italian cuisine meets the arts”
Trattoria San Nicola is more than just a restaurant serving lunch and dinner, with an authentic Italian flair. It is an experience in the true art of “Fine Dining!” From the moment you come through the door, you enter a unique, old world environment.
Chef Vito Giannandera was raised in Bari, Italy and was educated in culinary arts to bring a little of his homeland to Pennsylvania. He opened his first Trattoria San Nicola in Berwyn in 1995 and named it for the patron saint who is the protector of his hometown of Bari. Chef Vito started his second restaurant in Paoli in 2004.
San Nicola was a real man who lived in the 4th century in Asia Minor, now Turkey. He is remembered for his holiness, zeal and miracles. No less than 21 miracles have been attributed to him! In 1807, a boatload of Italian sailors rescued the bones of San Nicola, bringing his earthly remains to Bari, Italy, where he became the town’s patron saint. During a long famine in Bari, the fishermen prayed to San Nicola and were rewarded with a huge catch, ending the hunger in their village. San Nicola is also the patron saint of children, fishermen, sailors, travelers, single women, and robbers (with an eye to repentance).
Chef Vito invites us to enjoy his Italian cuisine! Check out the menu at www.sannicola.net.
