Overview

Established in 1998 by acclaimed chef Marc Vetri, Vetri Cucina represents the pinnacle of Italian dining in Philadelphia. Housed in a historic townhouse in the Washington Square West neighborhood, the restaurant offers an intimate dining experience with only 32 seats. Chef Vetri's approach combines traditional Italian cooking techniques with modern innovations and locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant operates exclusively with a multi-course tasting menu format that changes seasonally. Vetri Cucina has received numerous accolades, including James Beard Awards, and is consistently ranked among the best Italian restaurants in America. Reservations are extremely difficult to secure and typically must be made months in advance.
