Philly's restaurant scene just got a little hipper with Venetian plaster

Set just outside of Center City Philadelphia, Manayunk is a dining destination. Named for the Native American word meaning “A place to drink by the river,” Manayunk offers The Couch Tomato Café^© and The Tomato Bistro^© not only a great location, but a very dedicated market of customers. At noon, the line for The Couch Tomato Cafe stretches around the block, as patrons line up for an award-winning Italian meal.

When the Couch Tomato decided to expand, owners Craig Mosmen and Michael Cassano called on Veneshe Master Venetian Plastering to create a rustic, terra cotta lime washed focal wall worthy of any Tuscan trattoria. Using a rustic Mezzo Tuscan plaster, Veneshe created an interplay of light, color and texture that anchors the wall leading up to the new Bistro dining area.
