Le Virtù

About Le Virtù

The inspiration for Le Virtù comes from experiences at the tables of family, friends and farm restaurants all over Abruzzo. Every dish they prepare is rooted in or inspired by Abruzzese culinary tradition, ingredients or philosophy. They serve the cuisine of the shepherds, farmers and fishermen of Italy's wildest and most unspoiled region. It's bold, honest and unpretentious.

They source all they can from the "terra" surrounding Philadelphia: naturally raised pork from Berks County; lamb, chicken and rabbit from Lancaster County; produce from rural New Jersey and Pennsylvania. What they can't find locally, they import from Abruzzo: artisanal honey and cheeses (some of the rarest in America); L'Aquila saffron; extra virgin olive oil for finishing dishes; dried pastas (including a gluten-free option); even the flour they use to make their fresh pasta.
