The 20 Best Restaurants In Center City - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"If you’re passionate about food and restaurants, there are few places in Philadelphia we can recommend more than Vetri–it’s one of our top-rated spots. Located in a historic townhouse, the intimate space still has original wood floors and is lit by Venetian chandeliers. At $165 per person ($215 if you go for the forchetta menu), the tasting menu can range from corzetti with pistachio tarragon pesto and briny clam conservato to spinach gnocchi or a juicy steak. Definitely save it for a landmark birthday or the anniversary of the Eagles’ Super Bowl win. The service is unparalleled, the menu a choose-your-own-adventure of decadence, and you’ll be totally satisfied paying that $800 bill (just close your eyes and sign). Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - candis mclean, alison kessler
