Vetri - Philadelphia

Marc Vetri is the chef and founder of Philadelphia’s critically acclaimed Vetri Cucina. A Philadelphia native, Marc opened the storied restaurant in 1998 with his business partner, Jeff Benjamin. Within two years of Vetri Cucina’s debut, Marc was named one of Food & Wine’s “Best New Chefs” and received the Philadelphia Inquirer’s highest restaurant rating. In 2005, Marc received the James Beard Award for “Best Chef Mid-Atlantic.”

Following years of accolades at Vetri Cucina, Marc and Jeff opened Osteria, Amis, Pizzeria Vetri, Lo Spiedo and Alla Spina, all of which played integral roles in Philadelphia’s restaurant resurgence.

In October 2022, coinciding with the start of the NBA and NHL seasons, Marc opened the pizza spot MVP in the Wells Fargo Center, the home arena of the hockey team the Philadelphia Flyers and basketball team the Philadelphia 76ers. Marc then set his sights on the suburbs of Philadelphia to open an Italian steakhouse in Bryn Mawr called Fiore Rosso. This unique restaurant opened in June of 2022 and features only the freshest cuts of meat and seafood. The restaurant also boasts an incredible wine room and extensive beverage program.
