Le Virtù - Philadelphia

After hearing about another chef/pastry chef change this past summer, I was interested to see what was new at Le Virtù.

A solid 3 1/2 start joint (graciously bumped up to a 4 mainly for the fact that everything is scratch made on premises) that I likely won't be pining to get

FirstWe got a space outside$3 for 3 hoursNice table and quite which is unique.

Excellent food, excellent service , excellent cocktails. Beautiful atmosphere.

Would be a 5 star review, but we had to send back two plates of the house made garganelli which they comped without asking, so rather appreciative. The squid ink arancini with seared octopus was tasty, however the octopus was overdone and chewy. Buratta is well balanced with the assortment of sliced beets but could benefit from something other than frisee. Cauliflower appetizer is in a baked tart that has blue corn vibes and is well balanced The fluke is rather delightful and done thoughtfully, with a lovely presentation. The Beef with polenta has big flavors and is delicious. Desserts do not disappoint
