    One of my favorite meals. Highly recommend the wine pairing. Attentive staff and interesting courses made this a great experience. Plus complimentary muffins to savor the next day.

    From Bill Addison:"A riff on the American idea of soup/salad/pasta in 1 bowl: A silky agnolotto filled with julienned zucchini in a green moat fashioned from pistachios, onions, water, and olive oil." Read more

    This is the best restaurant in Philly. Excellent for special occasions due to the relaxed and homey but classy vibes. Prepare yourself for the multiple courses by doing an intense workout morning-of.

    Incredible customer service!! The appetizers were the best part, better tasting than the entrees in my opinion. Chocolate pastries and almond flan as desserts are delicious.

    All I can say is it lives up to the hype. Great service, unbelievable food and better Italian than Italy. Do the rafting menu! Bierre tasting menu is under-hyped and awesome! Spend the $ and go!

    Decadent Italian food in the heart of an underrated city for food. Vetri takes the proverbial cake with some truly tasty, albeit heavy, Italian cuisine. Tasting menus and al la carte. ($40-100+pp)

    In its 13th year, Marc Vetri's namesake restaurant continues to shine. From the tasting menu, don't miss the spinach gnocchi, whole roasted baby goat and chocolate polenta souffle.

    Every Philly foodie should eat here at least once. And I was finally able to prove my theory that Canadian goose can be made into good--no delicious--eats!

    Come in truffle season and reap the reward. This place is unassuming in atmosphere but unmistakably amazing in what matters. Definitely worth a try.

    Don’t miss the coursed wine pairings. While dinner here is a splurge, smart diners know to double down when it matters.
