13. Osteria

Jeff Michaud and Marc Vetri’s bustling North Broad operation is said to be one of the best Italian restaurants in the country, and we’ve got no reason to argue. Whether you sit at the bar and share a speck/radicchio or escarole/gorgonzola pizza and a couple of glasses of wine, or find yourself in the see-and-be-seen dining room and buy into the whole Italian primi/secondi way of eating, you’re in good hands here.

Best of the Best: The Parma pizza is still one of the finest pies in the city, hands down.

You’d Be Surprised to Know: That Osteria isn’t as absurdly expensive as you might think. You can eat comfortably for well under $100 per person. Not cheap, but a great value for what you get on your plate.
