A new Vetri venture at the Moorestown Mall?
A new Vetri venture in Moorestown?
A new Vetri venture at the Moorestown Mall?
It's been a big day for Vetri and company. Alla Spina (1410 Mt. Vernon St.) has landed a spot on Bon Appetit's 50 Best New Restaurants list and now we're hearing that there's another Vetri joint in the works over the bridge. Take it away, Adam!
Remember nearly a year ago when Marc Vetri signed a letter of intent/interest (the phrases varies depending on the website consulted) for a restaurant at the Moorestown Mall? Wouldn't be surprised if you'd forgotten; we had, until this Inquirer story jogged our memory. PREIT, the firm that operates the mall, was just awarded four liquor licenses, valued around a mill each.
"We're very, very close," Vetri said when we reached out for comment today, but nothing is signed just yet. We're refrain from counting our heritage-breed chicken eggs before they hatch, but the idea of being able to eat somewhere Osteria- or Amis-esque while visiting our kin in the shopping-plaza badlands of Le Jerz makes us pretty excited.
Not everyone in dry Moorestown shares our feelings. Some teetotaling loudmouths have been trying to block the liquor-license referendum from go. To which we say: Clam it, fools, you're about to get a Marc Vetri restaurant.
If you'd like to celebrate with the Vetri crew, Alla Spina is debuting their Victory collaboration brew Via Weisse tonight. Brewed to suit chef Jeff Michaud's penchant for light, crisp beer, you can sample this lightly tart and very refreshing wheat beer for $3 tonight only.
