Le Virtu
One of our best authentic Italian restaurants, and South Philly's first three-beller, Le Virtù continues to evolve with an impressively wide array of house-cured salumi, focused regional cooking and exceptional pastas under chef, Joe Cicala, who both celebrates authentic Abruzzese flavors and makes them feel fresh and up-to-date. A polenta special topped daily with a soulful meat braise (we loved a recent wild boar), is another unique sharing option, in addition to Cicala's famous 30-foot-long noodle called pasta alla mugnaia. Add great regional wine values, proper service and a handsome rustic space (plus a sweet alfresco patio), and Le Virtù has come to be one of the city's uniquely refined dining experiences.
