Good home-cooking is hard to find at Jersey shore restaurants, but if you go to Marabell a, you will be offered a welcome change from the fried seafood and cole slaw served at

so many restaurants

This seven year-old family dining place in the middle of Stone Harbor offers fine southern Italian cruisine

at moderate prices.

There's nothing fancy about MarabeUa's. which is operated by a South Philadelphia family. The plastic-covered tables have paper

MARABELLA’S

RESTAURANT Recommended by Philo. Inquirer

(Sunday Inquirer July 30. IV78)

Home-style southern cooking — tipo Italia no—at the shore

placemats. hanging plants decorate, the front windows, and children

receive free balloons.

But the food is freshly homecooked daily and some of it is excellent. The homemade tomato sauce, for instance, is rich and flavorful. obviously fresh, and it goes exceptionally well on the homemade manicotti and lasagna

dishes

My favorite of the dishes sampled is six large, fresh, moist deep-sea scallops sauteed with fresh

Dining out— At MarabeUa's 95th Street and Third Avenue. Stone Harbor mushrooms and green peppers in a superb white wine sauce. It came on a bed of somewhat soggy risotto, but otherwise it was superb.. The homemade manicotti is two large, freshlv made shells filled with ricotta and mozzarella cheese, topped with that rich tomato sauce. Veal parmigiana is a generous portion of excellent veal, with a nice crust and a cheesy tomato sauce. A dish of good, homemade spaghetti is offered as a side dish with most dishes, or you can have French fries, applesauce, coleslaw or a vegetable, which changes daily. The appetizer list is limited to shrimp and crab cocktails and excellent homemade soups. Manhattan-style clam chowder a a rich, salty broth filled with lots of chopped clams, diced potatoes and' celery It was so delicious, I had a

second cup. The homemade chicken soup is equally delightful, with lots of chicken and thin spaghetti that tastes as if it could be homemade. The house salad is iceberg lettuce (It was wilted) with touches of carrot, and with pre-made dressings — a particularly boring course. Desserts are excellent, particularly a strawberry parfait that isn’t the ice cream dish most restaurants offer. Instead, it is a light, fluffy mousse-like confection made of whipped cream and sour cream and laced with fresh, ripe strawberries. Yummy. Marabell'a serves dinner from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, until 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. No credit cards are accepted. For take out orders, call
