Whats left to say in praise of Osteria, Marc Vetri and Jeff Benjamins Italian gem that has, improbably, brought Center City nightlife to North Broad Street? Nothing. But well happily repeat our usual dinner order: the exuberant but exactingly cooked vegetable antipasto plate, a thin-crust pizza from the fiery brick oven, a quirky ceramic bowl filled with tangles of house-made candele pasta, and the bundino, that brilliant, sweet hazelnut-and-cream take on, yes, polenta.
