South Philly s Members Only Italian Social Club

South Philly s Members Only Italian Social Club

FBTwitterReddit

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
This members-only restaurant is tucked between residential row homes in south Philadelphia. Besides a small red neon sign outside, nothing indicates there s a 100-year-old Italian eatery that serves as a time capsule for south Philly s Italian immigrants. To get into the dining area, patrons must tap a buzzer and give their membership cards to a hand extending through a hole in the entranceway s second door. Watch owner Joey Baldino give MUNCHIES exclusive access to Palizzi Social Club, show how its incredible food like spaghetti with crabs, caesar salad, and delicious grilled octopus is made and hear why preserving his heritage and neighborhood s history is more important than ever to him. Politic: I moved to Philly from Florida in 2012 for better opportunities and when I got here I enrolled in Culinary school and became so passionate about food and trying different cuisines, so much so that I moved to South Philly in 2015. I live off of 9th St and have been to Pen and Pencils social club, along with the Players Club near Rittenhouse but have never heard of this place. I'm a huge nostalgia type of individual and I moved here by myself so I don't know many folks in the city. Is there any way to get a membership if I'm just a humble guy that loves food and especially Italian? I go to Ralph's all the time but would really love to become a member here so I can bring my sister when she visits Philly.

I LOVE places like this that keep the traditions of their past and lineage!
Unfortunately all too often in this world, children don t want to carry on businesses of their parents or grandparents. This is so sad as those traditions, recipes and crafts are lost forever.
I wish Filippo Palizzi Social Club the greatest success and another hundred years of business and success!
Cheers!

What a fabulous story of our diverse American culture! Every person who comes to our country brings their own special spice to the overall human menu! I loved hearing about this special Club and these special people. Thank you. All the best in 2023!

If I ever live in philly, this the kinda place I would like to call home.
I respect the high level of self respect that you have and try to embody that same energy at Paulie Gee s in Baltimore.

It's SO important to preserve these traditions as so many of them are being lost. Club is a very special place. Nice to know this neighborhood is preserved and still exists.

Well good thing he s more inclusive. Because if there s anything I ve learned from being an Asian kid in south philly is that the Italian oldheads are mad racist.

curious to know how much membership is. is it a one time fee, annual, etc? i know some bars have members only policies but membership fees were minimal to say the least.

This story gave me goose bumps, it reminds me of the old days when Americans still had traditions and respect for one another. Thank you so much!
