Philadelphia, PA - Nestled inside a typical South Philly row home steps from where Chef Baldino grew up, Palizzi is a time capsule of the neighborhood’s history and a vibrant living part of its present. The Club is a welcoming place for members to “eat a lot, drink more, and most of all, be social,” a tradition that Chef Baldino is proud to uphold, having taken his place as president in late 2016. In that role, he is the steward of his family’s legacy of hospitality, good food, stiff drinks, and an enticing air of secrecy, and he shares it all in Dinner at the Club.
