Part of Corio & Corte
Corte is a new neighborhood restaurant opening in Philadelphia's East Market district in Fall 2026, led by Executive Chef David Feola and longtime Philadelphia hospitality professional Ryan Mulholland.
Feola cut his teeth in New York at Jean-Georges and Tocqueville before moving to Philadelphia, where he worked at Vernick Food & Drink and later at Ember & Ash and Hearthside. He is also a partner and Executive Chef of Corio, Corte's sister restaurant. Mulholland spent more than a decade in restaurants in Boston, including Clio, Uni, and Eastern Standard, before moving to Philadelphia in 2012 to join the opening team of Vernick Food & Drink, where he remained for 11 years. Most recently, he served as Director of Operations for CookNSolo.
Together with their partner James Smith, who serves as General Manager of Corio, they are building Corte around familiar but ambitious food, genuine hospitality, and the belief that a great neighborhood restaurant should be as rewarding a place to work as it is to visit.
