"Greg Dodge of Zavino and Tredici, working with the university, is opening The Refectory at Villanova’s Commons, a group of new dorms that are part of a nearly $300 million project. The restaurant is shooting for a late summer opening. Unlike the original Zavino, a snug spot on 13th Street serving pizza, pasta, and wine, and the Mediterranean Tredici just across the street, The Refectory will be big, with seats for 200, and have an American menu. The plans include a horseshoe bar, marbled tabletops, banquettes, and a room for private parties." - Rachel Vigoda
