Royal Boucherie named one of The 13 Most Anticipated Restaurants in Philadelphia, Fall 2017 by Eater Philadelphia

Royal Boucherie

Location: 52 S. 2nd Street, Old City

Key Players: Nicholas Elmi, David Frank, Stephen Simons

The Situation: Laurel’s Nick Elmi, of Top Chef fame, is teaming up with restaurateurs Dave Frank and Stephen Simons, who know how to put together a top-notch bar: They’re behind Royal Tavern, Khyber Pass Pub, Triangle Tavern, Cantina Los Caballitos, and Cantina Dos Segundos, and moved more into the chef-driven space with Jesse Ito’s Royal Sushi and Izakaya. The Elmi-helmed venture is two levels, with a bar and a dining area on the first floor and an outdoor garden with seating for about 30 on the second floor. The second floor will also have a lounge that can be used as a private dining room. The menu will focus on charcuterie, salumi, and a raw bar.

The Mural at Panorama

The mural at Panorama was a collaboration between two local artist; Anthony DeMelas and Kristine Di Grigoli. Together they fused their styles through photography, digital media tools, and painting to coincide with Luca Sena owner of Panorama and Meg Rodgers, interior designer visions.

The creative process flows within each layer, from photographs of a painting of Italian Landscapes (previously displayed in the lobby), colored wine bottles, and Architects Dream painting by DeMelas sliced in three care of Pentimenti Gallery. Once the image was photographed and fused within digital media tools it was then printed onto a large canvas. The mix media image was then ready for DeMelas to add the final painted layers to create an organic and three dimensional feel.

The mural’s intention was to give the viewer a panoramic look as if they were looking through colored wine bottles onto a contemporary abstract Italian landscape and to compliment the largest Cuvée wine system in the world.
