Alexandra Manti
My husband is from Abruzze in Italy. We came in due to seeing the restaurant on No Passport required with Chef Marcus Samuelsson. Food was outstanding. Very pleased. Only issue was parking.

Alucard
Excellent choice of appetizer! The menu is good but some items might be a little too salty for some imo. Overall great dinning experience

Excellent experience. I found this place as I explored South Philly. The food was exquisite and fresh. The best pasta I’ve ever had. My salmon was delicious as well. What a great combo of delicious food, tasty wine, cool and charming ambiance, and excellent friendly service at this neighborhood eatery. A must when I head back to Philly alone or with friends!!!

Our favorite place to take visitors for a nice meal! Delicious food, great service, and lovely ambiance (both their outside patio and inside). We always get the burrata, and there are plenty of other tasty dishes.

From the courtyard decor to the indoor ambiance this restaurant has the aesthetic appeal of the classiest of fine dining experiences. This is to say nothing of the staff, their cuisine or beverage selection. Both the front and back of the house are simply exceptional at what they do and work cohesively to provide an experience for patrons that at least in my experience has gotten me to come back time and time again. So far I’ve sampled a small portion of their menu and am immensely excited to continue working my way through it. Don’t be deterred by the menu which is mostly in Italian because the staff has a more than thorough knowledge of it and can break it down Barney style if need be. If you’re looking for a fantastic pairing of wine and exquisite/authentic Italian cuisine do yourself a favor and stop by Le Virtù!

Really good Italian restaurant! Some of the dishes were under seasoned a bit, but yummy! I’d recommend the burrata crostini, sausage polenta, pork loin, truffle pasta, and zoccele.

The outdoor space is like no other on Passyunk. In its own little paradise, detached from the bustle of the busy Ave, the pergola and seating create an intimate dining experience with expertly seasoned Italian fare

Sierra Worst
Delicious authentic Italian food and wonderful service. Looking forward to my next visit

Sara
Good and authentic Italian restaurant! They did not serve the famous Arrostiscini when we went, but they had the Bombette from Puglia!

Jeff Cohen
Went here for the first time ad it did not disappoint. We had the charcuterie to start and appetizer portions of 4 different pasta dishes which they brought out in 2 separate courses. Great way to try the different flavors. Each one was better than the next. Ordered a repeat of one of them it was so good. Service was impeccable. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Will have to come back when the outdoor patio is open.
