- DCDeborahCvipPhiladelphia County •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoVetri Cucina provided the experience we were seeking to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary! Our table for 2 in a quiet corner of the cozy intimate dining room was perfect. Eric was our primary server provided so much care and attention we felt like we were his only table. He was supported by a team of 4 others who were equally attentive. The wine pairings were superb. There aren't enough adjectives to describe the exquisitely prepared plates. This was truly an exceptional evening right here in our city of Philadelphia!!More infoVetri Cucina - PhiladelphiaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Center City•4.9
