Dining room at Osteria, Philadelphia, PAMarc Vetri has another hit on his hands with Osteria. Located along the (slowly) changing landscape of North Broad Street, Osteria is a rustic take on an Italian trattoria, with the emphasis on thin-crust pizza fired in the wood-burning oven, a daily antipasto offering, creative pasta combos and a handful of entrées that reflect chef Jeffrey Michaud’s commitment to pure Italian cuisine. Pizza purists can get a margherita, but why when options include the Trentino, made with grilled figs, Gorgonzola and speck. Or how about a topping of polpo---octopus with tomatoes, smoked mozzarella and a dash of chili flakes. House-made Italian meats and sausages adorn the salumi plate, and yellowtail crudo is served with watermelon, radish and chive oil giving tuna tartare lovers something to swoon about. Secondi plates range from stuffed baby lamb with polenta and rosemary to a pork cutlet, Milanese-style with arugula and lemon. Of the dessert line up, Nutella pizza is certainly the most original.
