Restaurant Description

Scheduled to open April 1, 2010, The Wishing Well is a new neighborhood dining destination located in the Bella Vista section of Philadelphia, founded by long-time best friends Carmen Cappello and Chris Martino. They look forward to sharing continued traditions and build new memories with everyone who comes through the door!

Chef Carmen Cappello's distinctive menu combines his own family recipes with dishes developed through his experiences at fine-dining restaurants throughout the country. Many ingredients are sourced from shops in the nearby Italian market. The bar also features many local and specialty beers and cocktails.

Making its debut in Philadelphia is Chef Cappello's signature dish, the SHAME Burger. There are many versions of the SHAME burger - all featuring at least one hamburger patty, fried egg, cheese and house-made scrapple served on a toasted bun. Are you up to the SHAME challenge?
