    Chef Michael Joyce Leaving Molinari’s for Monk’s

    by theelvee_w2oe3m April 10, 2015

    Michael Joyce, the stellar chef at Molinari’s who has guided them since their 2011 opening, is packing up and heading to Philly.  At the end of April he’ll be taking the helm at the esteemed Monk’s Café beer bar in Center City according to a recent Zagat article. 

    Joyce, a Bethlehem native, has worked under Chef Christopher Lee at the widely acclaimed and now defunct Striped Bass in Philly, and eventually went on to work in the Lehigh Valley’s premiere kitchen at Bolete.  His stint at Molinari’s has been memorable, bringing an unheard of level of authentic Italian cuisine to the area paired with a passion for local and fresh food.

    Monk’s, renowned for their beer selection, mussels, and Belgian frites, will retain its staple dishes while Joyce adds house-made meats, seasonal dishes, and more local produce to the menu.

    Replacing Joyce at Molinari’s will be their current sous chef, Mark Romanowski. A former chef at several Lehigh Valley spots including Molly’s, Tally Ho, and Allentown Brew Works, he has been under Joyce at Molinari’s for nearly three years.  In an email, Anna Molinsaid confirmed that their menu will remain the same, adding, “We believe the integrity of the food we create and Chef Mark will bring that same level and maintain what pride we take in our food.

    Molinari’s in Bethlehem opened at a tough time: Mama Nina’s is and was the go-to for many in the Lehigh Valley for great Italian and Emeril’s Italian Table was still relatively new. Regardless, they have succeeded in their goal to serve authentic Italian concepts and have implemented one of the most focused and impressive beverage programs in all of the Lehigh Valley.
