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.

    It was a pleasure to be back at Vetri and speak with many of the excellent staff. Michelle was excellent and we were able to speak to Diana and Zeke among others. We had two guests with us, one who had never been to Vetri. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine. It was a bit noisy toward the end of the meal but we still could enjoy each other company and talk. All in all, a great dining experience with people who are dear to us !

    Still the OG dining experience that sets the standard for all others (and I’ve dined my way through a dozen Michelin just this year).

    Wanted to come here for about a decade—no expectations. Food and service were fair; a couple courses were either too slow or fast but the support staff were great. Glad to try both menus at one table, but I kept wondering about a missing share plate for the guest who ordered the smaller menu while everyone else had a dish wanting to share. The Seafood linguini came out lukewarm and became cold very fast. I noted we were celebrating a birthday in the res and this was never acknowledged though other parties around us were wished a happy birthday (we were unwrapping a gift during predessert). I am not a food reviewer and I’ve only been to a handful of 2-3 michelin starred properties but I enjoyed the ambiance and intimate experience.

    Everything was extraordinary. We had excellent service and recommendations from our waiter Bill, as well as from Domingo, who occasionally brought us our food. The food was incredibly delicious, and the place was very elegant and beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Solo diner here. I had a wonderful experience, with little but significant surprises here and there in terms of courtesies. The staff was outstandingly detailed, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to my every need. The restaurant is very cozy, adequate for a date, a celebration or a solo diner. The food was exceptional, and it did not miss in any regard; I was impressed and fascinated. I highly recommend anyone who truly appreciates good food to eat at Vetri.

    Vetri Cucina provided the experience we were seeking to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary! Our table for 2 in a quiet corner of the cozy intimate dining room was perfect. Eric was our primary server provided so much care and attention we felt like we were his only table. He was supported by a team of 4 others who were equally attentive. The wine pairings were superb. There aren't enough adjectives to describe the exquisitely prepared plates. This was truly an exceptional evening right here in our city of Philadelphia!!

    Vetri Cucina was an experience truly extraordinary on every level. The atmosphere was extremely friendly and welcoming. The wait staff was so professional and especially knowledgeable on every aspect of the superbly crafted menu. No question was left unanswered. We were served in a timely manner by pleasant staff that described the dishes brilliantly. The entire meal was one will never forget. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary dinner.
