CHEF FINDS HERSELF

IN A PICKLE

KERI WHITE | JE FOOD COLUMNIST

FOOD

CHEF STEPHANIE REITANO, owner of Capogiro Gelato
Artisan and Capofitto Pizza + Gelato, is known for her
award-winning gelato.

Capogiro was named “Best Gelato in the World” by Nation-
al Geographic in 2011. Capofitto, the authentic thin-crust
pizzeria and Italian eatery in Old City, also has contributed to
Reitano’s justifiable fame on the Philly food scene.

Yet given her renown for all things Italian, I was surprised
to learn of her Jewish heritage and her passion for pickling.

“My father, Michael Feldman, was a New York deli maven.
He was all about pastrami, where to get the best pickled her-
ring, special mustards for sausage sandwiches, and he had to
have his loaf of rye bread every week,” Reitano said. “He
introduced me to so many types of foods; he loved Asian
food; my first sushi, my first Indian food, exotic tastes of
mine probably originated from my dad.”

But he was not a cook.
“Aside from breakfast,” she said, “his repertoire was lim-
ited. He married my mom later in life, so he was a bachelor
for a lot of years. He had a ‘three-can special,’ which con-
sisted of a can of mushroom soup, a can of peas and a can
of tuna, all mixed up and spread on toast. If my mom
wasn’t home, he would make us that. It was terrible.”
In spite of that culinary scar, Reitano has incredibly fond
food memories of her dad, and she credits him with placing
her on her current career path.
“Dad’s family was of Russian and Turkish descent, and
they owned a restaurant on the University of Connecticut
campus — a burger joint. Dad worked there as a kid,” she
said. “Early on, my grandfather was approached by McDon-
ald’s to take over the site. He visited a McDonald’s, ate their
burger, thought it was awful and declined the sale.”
So Reitano, who pasteurizes all of her own milk for the
gelato and sources local, top-quality, artisanal ingredients
for her restaurants, comes by her high standards honestly.
In addition to his gustatory influences, Reitano’s father
inspired her aesthetics.
