Vetri

Chef Marc Vetri’s 30-seat Italian flagship restaurant has made waves nationally for years, even prompting food writer Alan Richman to ask, “Is this the best Italian restaurant in America?” Despite establishing a winning formula, the restaurant is still evolving, moving to an all tasting menu format in the past few years and adding a private dining room and cooking classes. On the wine front, pairings are a serious draw here, and on any given night there are upwards of 40 bottles open to go alongside the soulful Northern Italian-inspired cooking. Anticipate some legendary wines hitting the table, including international gems tucked in the pages of the Italian-heavy list.
