Rabbit cacciatore... anyone else serve this, do you know? I don't think I've had this since I ate coelho a cacadora (the Portuguese take on this dish), as a kid...

I had it at Gnocchi (on Passyunk near South) a couple years ago, but i don't recall if it was a special or on the menu. Or if that place is even still there!

Gnocchi is definitely still there. Can't speak for the Rabbit Cacciatore.

Sounds yummy though!

Can somebody clue me in as to exactly where the Italian Mkt is?

According to the Italian Market website, it's on 9th between Wharton and Fitzwater.

Fitzwater, IMO, is stretching it a bit, as the blocks above Christian are mostly residential, but if they're going to claim Sarcone's as part of the market, they have to stretch it a bit. This also ropes in Ralph's and ?Mezza Notte? --the place at Catherine that was once called Ristorante Longano...

Excellent hoagies and bread to be found at Sarcone's; cheese at DiBruno Bros.; and Vietnamese/Mexican food along Washington Ave (see above posts).

There are still enough Italian merchants to justify the historic name, but the rising presence of Mexican/Latin American and Asian businesses is turning the Italian Market into more of a United Nations of food. Now if we could just convince Amare Solomon to open an in-town outpost of Dahlak on 9th Street--or maybe convince someone else to open an African food market there...
