Hottest Italian restaurants in the U.S.? We've got two!

POSTED: Monday, January 28, 2013, 3:28 PM

A big round of applause for Le Virtu (1927 E. Passyunk Ave.) and Amis (412 S. 13th St.) for making Zagat's list of Hottest Italian Restaurants in the U.S. We've been big fans of Joe Cicala's maccheroni alla mugaia and all things Abruzzese and Brad Spence's whole animal approach to specials for some time now and it's great to see these two joints getting a national nod. Head on over to Zagat for the full run down of molto caldo Italian spots.
