Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Marc Vetri

From the OpenTable editors: Vetri Cucina is the restaurant Italian dreams are made of, thanks to James Beard Award-winning chef Marc Vetri. He puts seasonal ingredients front and center in his elegant tasting menus, which could include silky handkerchief pasta with pheasant ragu and rhubarb. Located in a historic townhouse decked with hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers, the setting is an intimate, special-occasion-worthy escape.

    From the food to the wait staff, everything was exceptional! We went for my brothers birthday and it was exactly what he wanted. Obviously every dish (especially the pasta) was top notch, but even my dirty martini was excellent.

    From the moment we walked in, we were treated with great hospitality as if we were old friends coming by to visit. I had wanted to dine at Vetri for quite a while, but never was able to fit it in when we would visit our son when he attended Temple and worked in the city for a couple of years. We had not been back to Philly in almost 10 years, so when we saw that Swan Lake was being performed, a pre 70th birthday trip was put together. The service was attentive but not cloying, friendly, efficient, but not rushed, and we were well cared for. The food, both in flavor and presentation, was simply outstanding. This meal easily became one of the best we have had, probably second only to Lasserre in Paris, and that is high praise. It is not inexpensive but well worth it.

    Absolutely the best restaurant in Philadelphia!!! The food is superb and the wait staff explains everything in detail from the wine pairing to the food themselves! Food is unique and incredible in taste! Such a special experience! Everything is perfection! They adjust to whatever individual needs are and offer 2 specific menus whereas one is a 4 course selection and the other is a tasting menu! Wine can be by the glass or as a pairing! They start you off with a Proseco cocktail! Our waitress Diana G was truly phenomenal! We can’t wait for our next special occasion! Thank you for making my husbands Birthday so incredibly special!

    This dining experience is exceptional. We were truly well-cared for from the moment we arrived. The wine pairings were beautifully described by grape and region and each plate had so many elements of care and detail described as well. The menu was tailored to meet both of our different preferences and the serving pace allowed us to savor each course/pairing. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire meal and our interactions with all of the staff and will definitely return.
