Pistachio’s Cafe and Catering (237 E. Gay St., West Chester) has only been open for a month, and already the owner needs to expand the shop due to its popularity.
This BYOB restaurant has a beautiful Tuscan-style dining room with dining in or takeout during lunch or dinner. It has wi-fi and even has its own parking lot with 23 glorious spaces, with no quarters required.
The menu is diverse, with creative and generous dishes like a Gorgonzola and Pear Salad or a Funky Chicken Wrap with grilled chicken, feta, onion, pepper and almonds in a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
Their items are mostly homemade, like their dressing, soups and croutons. For everything else, they get the finest and freshest ingredients around. Pistachio’s has a wide array of pies, cakes and decadent cookies to satisfy any sweet tooth. Their freezer is stocked daily with pastas, homemade soups, sauces and dinners to go.
They offer lunch for $7.95, and a hot dinner platter for $9.95. Customers are hooked on their signature pistachio-crusted chicken fingers. A third of their daily business is due to these creations.
They also have an extensive and affordable catering menu for off-site celebrations, and can accommodate up to 50 people for parties, special events or corporate meetings. Customers can get generous trays of original appetizers (including the pistachio chicken fingers), sandwiches and wraps, breads, salads, hot and cold pasta dishes, vegetable dishes and an assortment of desserts. The owner, Chris DiFabio, caters to each client to plan the perfect menu. Call 484-887-0488 and ask for Chris for your next event.
Pistachio’s is certainly a family affair, and it’s a family-friendly establishment. They offer a family dinner special that serves four people and includes a main dish (there are six daily specials), a choice of Caesar or garden salad, and fresh cookies for $27.95. The eggplant parmesan, gravy, and meatball recipes come from the owner’s mother, and his father often comes into the store to trim meats.
“I am a food man. I started cooking since I was 13 and I came from a family where we always got together to share a good meal,” Chris DiFabio said. “Pistachio’s takeout and catering menu items are created with only the freshest, highest quality ingredients. I cook only the best for my family. Let me do the same for you and your family.”
He has been in the restaurant business for 30 years and was founder of the highly successful DiFabio’s Catering in Media. He sold that about three years ago to start a a new venture, Pistachio’s Cafe and Catering, in his new hometown. Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.
