Trained in Bergamo, Italy, by some of the region’s most distinguished chefs, South Philadelphia native Marc Vetri brings a bold, contemporary sensibility to the classic Italian cuisine served at his two Philadelphia restaurants, Vetri, which as been called “possibly the best Italian restaurant on the East Coast” by Chef Mario Batali, and Osteria. Winner of the 2005 James Beard Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic Award, Chef Vetri collects more than 120 of his most delicious dishes in Il Viaggio di Vetri and chronicles his culinary journey through memoir-like essays.

Ashley Primis, Food and Lifestyle Editor of Philadellphia Magazine will interview Chef Vetri.
