Marc Vetri has moved many of his classic dishes into a permanent “hall of fame” category, leaving room on the menu for new chef Brad Spence to make his mark on the miniature kitchen. Spence’s sensibilities are not, of course, far from Vetri’s, and you can still expect elegant pastas and deeply flavored meats as well as an unexpectedly affordable, mostly Italian wine list.

Review
We waited a month for a special occasion and picked Vetri, needless to say it was not that good. The portions were small and overpriced. The service was adequate at best. I heard so much about this place and I was really surprised with the limited menu and the lousy beer selection.
