Based on its readers’ picks, the newspaper has compiled a list of the best eateries for takeout in Chester County.

Even in the throes of a pandemic, Andiario in West Chester continues to dominate the local restaurant scene, constantly earning praise for its offerings.

Chef Anthony Andiario is famous for his approach to seasonal food, delicious wood-fired flavors, and extraordinary pastas, and none of that has wavered with his shift to filling takeout containers instead of plates.

Some of the recent highlights from the restaurant’s three-course menus include a hot-smoked trout with “foragings” and meatballs over polenta.

At Bluefin Eagleview, head chef Yong Kim specializes in contemporary Japanese cuisine with innovative, modern interpretations of classic menu items.
