Il Lazzarone opens in the River Market
Erik Borger has a crash pad. And when he’s there, he seriously crashes.
The chef-owner of St. Joseph’s Il Lazzarone pizzeria has been putting in long days and long nights renovating the storefront at 412 Delaware (the former Cup and Saucer) for its March 14 grand opening as the second location of Il Lazzarone.
“I couldn’t make the drive back to St. Joseph after working until 3 or 4 in the morning,” Borger says. So he rented a small apartment a short walk from Il Lazzarone. “I mean small — it’s, like, 200 square feet, and just around the corner from the restaurant.”
