"Le Virtu is where you go in East Passyunk when you want to eat comforting, thoughtful Italian food in a room that's larger than a closet. The regional-specific menu highlights food from Abruzzo, which means you'll eat a lot of rustic lamb dishes, pasta shaped like tiny wizard hats, some homemade ricotta, and maybe Abruzzese sausage with polenta. Come on a Sunday night when you don't feel like cooking or whenever the weather is nice enough to sit outside in their massive garden." - alison kessler, candis mclean
