Oloroso is Hosting an Exclusive First-Look Preview Dinner Party of the Soon-To-Be Opened Kiddo
Spanish tapas restaurant, Oloroso (1121 Walnut St.) located in the heart of Center City will be hosting an exclusive, first-look dinner party to welcome Kiddo, a soon-to-launch contemporary American restaurant serving up vegetable-forward fare and tasty drinks, on Monday, September 18 with one seating at 7pm.
The intimate, multi-course dinner, priced at $75 per person, will be led by Kiddo Co-Owner/Chef Wyatt Piazza, the former Executive Chef of Oloroso’s sister restaurant, Townsend Wentz Restaurant Group’s popular Italian BYO concept A Mano. Tickets are available for purchase via Resy.
Kiddo’s pop-up at Oloroso is the final preview dinner before Piazza’s new restaurant opens at 1138 Pine Street later this fall. Upon opening, Kiddo will boast a vegetable-heavy, hyper-seasonal dinner menu, utilizing locally grown and sourced produce from Pennsylvania farms. As a sneak peek, Piazza will take over Oloroso’s kitchen where he once worked alongside Chef Jason Peabody prior to his move to A Mano, for his four-course sit-down dinner. The dinner will take place on the restaurant’s mezzanine level, adjacent to Oloroso’s open kitchen which sports an intimate, dinner party vibe.
“We’re excited to be collaborating with the team at Oloroso for one more event before we open this fall, especially when there’s so much incredible late-summer produce to work with. Before opening Kiddo, I had the privilege of working with chefs Townsend “Tod” Wentz and Jason Peabody, learning a lot from them both. We are looking forward to showcasing Kiddo in a restaurant that is so special to us,” said Piazza.
Piazza’s multi-course menu for the September 18 dinner includes the following:
Summer Panzanella — Mixed heirloom tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers, sourdough croutons
Charred Eggplant Ravioli — Sungold pistou, oregano, basil, Hidden Hills Allegheny Cheese
Wild Striped Sea Bass — Fermented pepper sauce, rapini
Salted Caramel Pie — Sweet corn ice cream
“The energy that Wyatt brought to the kitchen here at Oloroso was fantastic, and he was a very valued team member both here and at A Mano,” said Chef Jason Peabody of Oloroso. “We’re eager to show support in any way we can ahead of the Kiddo opening, and look forward to his final pop-up here in this space.”
Guests are invited to start their evening at Oloroso’s cherry wood bar to indulge in custom cocktails, exclusive sherry, and an expertly-crafted wine selection — available for purchase à la carte.
