Vetri
You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again: Marc Vetri is the standard-bearer for Italian cooking in Philadelphia, and his flagship still draws pilgrims from far beyond. Does pasta get any better than truffled almond tortellini as rich as marzipan and as delicate as tracing paper, or morsels of boar in cocoa-dusted fettuccine? It does not. But pasta isn’t the only attraction here. From antelope with Amarone sauce to a Campari-tinged sorbetto, Vetri seamlessly blends originality and authenticity.

Don’t miss: The coursed wine pairings. While dinner here is a splurge, smart diners know to double down when it matters.

Eat at one of the best Italian restaurants in Philadelphia:
Vetri, 1312 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, 215-732-3478.
