Chef Marc Vetri is a lifelong Philadelphian who made his mark in this city with Vetri Cucina, an intimate, game-changing restaurant in a historic townhouse on Spruce Street. He has continued to elevate Philly's food scene by opening Osteria, Amis, Pizzeria Vetri, Lo Spiedo, Alla Spina, and Fiorella. Plus, he's championing community through nutrition education with Vetri Community Partnership. At a live event last week at the Fitler Club, City Cast Philly Neighbors and Fitler Club members had the opportunity to hear host Trenae Nuri and Marc Vetri discuss his new book, "The Pasta Book: Recipes, Techniques, Inspiration." He divulged the secret to great homemade pasta with a cooking demonstration, then let us try his famous rigatoni ragu. Everyone went home with a signed copy of the cookbook to round out the night. Listen to the conversation between Trenae and Marc, and sign up to become a Neighbor, so you don't miss the next members-only event.
