Vetri - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A meal at Mark Vetri's acclaimed Vetri Cucina (previously named Vetri Ristorante) definitely falls within the "once-in-a-great-while" budget spectrum, but the experience is on a whole other level that makes it all worth it. The multi-course tasting menu is the only option available, but you do get to state your preferences to the chef, who will concoct a tailor-made meal just for you. Based around local, seasonal ingredients it's a culinary experience that will test your taste buds in ways you didn't even think possible.
