Phil Diou“I’m shocked at how nice everyone is!” That’s the first thing Phil Diou, owner of Little Phil’s Artisanal Delicatessen said when I asked the stock question: “So, how’s everything going so far?”
It seems to me, (and I hope I’m correct) that Montclair, is on the cusp of an upswing. There have been several well received new openings within the last few months, Brick Lane most recently, and Tapastry a couple of months ago, and others. The reappearance of a familiar blackboard on Valley Road and Bellevue Avenue, this time signaling the arrival of Little Phil’s. So what is Little Phil’s? Who is Phil? And why is he “Little”?
