The End of Al A Carte

Gasp!  Marc Vetri has finally done it.  Yesterday marked the start of a new era for Vetri; no more al a carte menu.  Vetri will only be offering the tasting menu Monday - Thursday at $135 per person and the Grand Tasting Menu, Friday and Saturday.  As an admirer and fan of Vetri's delicious dishes, I personally do not find this to be troublesome in the least bit.  If you've been to Vetri in the past, it doesn't matter if you order al a carte or the tasting menu because you're spending mega bucks either way.  You don't go to Vetri to order a side of pasta.  You go to experience some of the best dishes you could imagine tasting, and one is never enough.  Don't let this new change discourage you from trying possibly the best restaurant in Philadelphia; embrace it!  Mangiamo!
