Vetri Cucina

Top choice

LoginSave

Legendary – and for good reason. Since 1998 Marc Vetri has been winning awards and adoring fans with his Italian cuisine. This elegant, intimate restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine and its four-course dinner tasting menu, featuring top-quality seasonal ingredients, rarely disappoints. Don't, on any account, leave without sampling Vetri's famous sweet onion crepe.

Booking well ahead is essential; the three-course lunch on Friday is a great deal for food of this quality and it's often easier to get a reservation then.
