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.

    Have come to VETRI twice, first time we had a wine pairing and 6 course and it was flawless. This time we had the 4 course. My food was fantastic (in particular, the pork wellington was out of this world) but my wife is vegetarian and the only veg entree (a Tuscan stew) was very bland and underseasoned when you didn't have a bite of the cheese and fennel crisp (which wasn't large enough to be present for every bite). Particularly disappointing because there were no other options for her to eat. Other than that, her food was very good and we very much appreciated the 0.0 abv options. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable, if a bit slow at times (before food came out, waiting for dessert). As always, ambiance was incredibly charming.

    High expectations after not being at Vetri for over 10 years. The food experience overall was poor, specifically as it relates to price. The pasta course was almost proper, one of our pasta dishes was cooked perfectly al dente while the other was significantly undercooked. First course and protein course of the “classic” menu were both poorly executed. Vegetarian option was specifically underwhelming. Service was exceptional, but the overall experience came in way under the cost. We’ll be back however and hoping for more because our first time there was very memorable.

    Lovely atmosphere upstairs with staff that was so inspired and enthusiastic. Although there were multiple highlights, we were disappointed in two of the primary courses. The wine pairing was fabulous. Overall, though we were looking forward to this for weeks, it was a 5/5 price for a 4/5 dining experience.

    This was our first time dining at Vetei Cucina, but it will definitely not be our last. Everything you expect at a high-end restaurant was exceeded...service, food, and professionalism of every employee. We went with the tasting menu, which was delicious.

    My husband and I returned to Vetri Cucina to celebrate our anniversary, as we had done the year prior. Immediately, we were encompassed by the warm singular ambience of the small dining room: it feels like coming home. Eric, our server, was outstanding. He was with us throughout the multi-course prix-fixe meal, and gave us excellent commentary about what we were about to eat and drink. He even laughed when I asked, “Does everyone make it through all of the courses?” and he responded, “No. You are the first one.” Vetri is a unique experience. The courses arrive in a decent pace, always giving us enough time to digest and ruminate. The food is uniformly excellent; you can’t really go wrong. Highly recommend!

    Service is amazing, food is absolutely top level. We’ve done the tasting menu twice now and I’ve never had a bad dish. Highly recommended.

    This was my third visit to Vetri with my companion. She has celiac disease, and all 6 delightful courses of the seasonal Forchetta menu were prepared for her free of any gluten contamination. Some of the sauces were a bit heavy on the salt, but it is still among the best Philadelphia dining experiences I've had over the course of 20+ years.
