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.

    Of course the service is at the highest level. And the food was good, but not great and certainly not at the level I would expect for Vetri. Had it been another restaurant with different pricing I would have been very happy. However, Vetri has historically set the bar high and my past experiences were at that level. But we paid over $600 for two for the four course with wine pairing. And for that price level, I was disappointed. The food was very good but not exceptional. I did not walk away feeling like I experienced the highest level of culinary art. There wasn’t a dish that I had that I felt like I just had something like I’d never had before. The tartare was good but not amazing. The rabbit and peach pasta was good but the rabbit may as well have been pork or chicken thigh and the peach just didn’t show up. Good idea with promise but not what it could have been. Even more disappointing was that we ordered cappuccino at the end and they charged us $6 each. That seemed very petty based on what we were paying. And the wine pairing was good but over priced and also kind of meager. It just felt like there was no effort to give the customer an exceptional experience. And that’s disappointing based on my past experiences and based on similar restaurants I have eaten at. Good but not great and I think Vetri is going for great, or I would hope so. Just kind of disappointing.

    It's been a few years since our last visit. But my daughter and husband visited last month and raved about the smoked spaghetti and the good humor ice cream dessert. We did the 4 course meal and it was just perfect. The two pasta dishes (smoked spaghetti and rabbit/peach/ pappardelle ) were the stars. The little bits between courses were perfectly selected to go with the meal. Perfect wine suggestion. We will be back soon.

    Impeccable hospitality and service. All the food EXCELLENT--from first inhaling the amazing smells to the last taste. It's the kind of (rare) food that makes you eat slowly because you're savoring every bite.

    I wish I could give Vetri more than 5 stars. We have been frequent patrons for the last few years and every experience has been exceptional and I daresay each is better than the last. The service team is welcoming, engaged and extremely knowledgeable. Everything that leaves the kitchen is meticulously prepared and delightful. I could go on about every exquisite dish but that would probably exceed OpenTable’s character limit for reviews, rest assured that if you dine here your experience at Vetri will be unparalleled.
