   Service was prompt, efficient and friendly. Our server, Andrew, was excellent, even as he was tending to numerous tables and large groups. Food was outstanding, from apps to dessert. Wine tap system was down that night, but my selection was also available by glass/bottle, albeit at a higher price. That was the only minor issue of our otherwise excellent meal. We'll be back.

   Conveniently located in south Philly. Neighborhood area and close to everything. The wait staff was friendly helpful and attentive. The restaurant has an old world look and feel. Felt like I was in Italy for a couple of hours. Good selection of appetizers and main courses. Everything we had was delicious and full of flavor. My compliments to the chef. Definitely recommend.

   I went to meet an old friend. When we initially sat down it was pretty noisy and we had a lot to talk about so we asked to be seated at a more quiet table. They happily put us in an adjoining room, where were the only table, and they still served us attentively great food and wine, it was a remarkable evening of reminiscing and eating very well prepared dishes with graceful service. 5 stars!!

   Took three out of town colleagues here for dinner on a Tuesday night. First time here for each of them. We all had the burrata appetizer which was amazing. Then several of us had the recommended pasta course, the Taccozzelle, which was incredible. Finally, three of had the bronzino which was also excellent. A memorable meal. My colleagues have mentioned this several times during the past week and are anxious to return.

    The food is absolutely superb. House cured meats were delicious. We love the baked crepes stuffed with ricotta. Our waiter was very lovely. It was a real family evening with kids playing in the courtyard and a wonderful clarinet and accordion duo playing standards and Italian themes in sort of Klezmer style— just such a happy and charming scene.

    We are so happy to be able to come back to le virtu. It is astonishing that they have been around for so long and are still killing it. I mean, i literally had a dream about the duck ragu with pasta. These are some of the nicest people in the biz serving the best food on the Ave. Don’t walk, run.

    This is the second or third review I have written for this outstanding restaurant. My husband and I have been coming here for more than ten years, and not once have we had a less-than-stellar meal. There has been no slackening off. The menu consistently features creative, delectable appetizers, entrees, and cocktails, and the servers are knowledgeable and friendly without being overbearing. Even the decor is very pleasing. Last Sunday my family and I enjoyed two of the appetizer specials - one with sausage, polenta, and red peppers, and the other a butternut squash salad. We also ordered two of the dinner specials - a ribeye steak and lamb ragu. This restaurant is my absolute favorite; I highly recommend it.

    We enjoyed our evening with Le Virtu! We are from Abruzzo (Collecorvino) and we excited to try the traditional dishes presented by Le Virtu. Of course, not as our family made them (particularly the Munguia pasta) but everything was very good. We will definitely return on our next trip to Philly. Only disappointment was the pricing of the wine list. It was very over priced and that is a shame.

    Interesting combinations, expertly prepared, beautifully presented. The burrata appetizer was surprisingly creamy, spicy and paired with slices of acorn squash. The pasta dish with sausage, truffle paste and mushrooms was extraordinary.

    Incredible as always, from the food & atmosphere to the friendly staff & service. Get to know about an overlooked region of Italy while enjoying some insanely delicious food matched by wines you won't find many places. It's transmittance of culture, artisanship, & passion by a staff that is truly a big, welcoming family.

    My most favorite neighborhood bistro ever. The food is creative and delicious. Wonderful wine, personally selected at the vineyards. Lovely surroundings, indoor and out. Warm and engaged staff who made me feel completely welcome and well-cared for. As I was in Philadelphia on my own for three months while my husband was a patient in a spinal injury rehabilitation hospital, their kindness and expertise were so much appreciated and contributed so much my sense of well-being in a city not my own!

    My husband and I dined at Le Virtu last night with another couple and we had a wonderful experience. We hadn’t dined there in awhile. We sat outdoors, which they have spacious outdoor dining. The service was excellent and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. My fellow diners had pasta dishes that were homemade and delicious. I had the swordfish dish with zucchini and sun dried tomatoes with a lemon caper sauce that was out of this world! The flavors burst in my mouth and the ingredients were very fresh. I highly recommend dining at Le Virtu. They are consistently good. We will definitely be back sooner than later.

    This meal was one of, if not the best, meal I have ever eaten. My boyfriend and I went there for his birthday, a later celebration so we kept it low key. The bottle of wine we got off of their reserve list was one of the best I have ever had. Our server recommended the pasta I ordered ( Taccozelle ) because it would pair well with the wine and let me just say I would eat this pasta every single day and never get sick of it. My boyfriend had the lamb served over this outstanding romesco sauce & fregola that literally melted in my mouth. Our server was amazing, attentive, and even made the birthday boy feel special by putting a candle in the cake I brought ( he is picky ) and serving him some complementary vanilla gelato to go with it. We are floored by this experience, and will without a doubt be making this a consistent date night.

    Delicious food, and very distinct from what you’d get at a “classic” Italian restaurant—the focus on specifically Abruzzese food really shows. I especially loved the greater use of chile peppers than in an average Italian restaurant. Also, there were plenty of vegetarian options, which is not always a given, though I’m sure the many meat options are all wonderful too. All together a wonderful experience!
