Best of Philly

2009 Italian Restaurant (Upscale)

Vetri

In 1998, Marc Vetri opened the doors to his comfortable, elegant dining room on Spruce Street and changed the Philadelphia food scene forever. His protgs have peeled off and opened fabulous restaurants of their own, but for the second consecutive year Vetri remains the standard-bearer of contemporary fine dining, from the considered wine list to the impeccable service to the masterful pasta to the exceptional desserts.
