Le Virtu rolls out happy hour in Il Campo

POSTED: Thursday, June 21, 2012, 9:15 AM

The grassy canopied outdoor dining space, dubbed Il Campo, of Passyunk Avenue's Le Virtu is one of the loveliest in South Philly, and it just got even lovelier when we caught wind that they're kicking off a weeknight happy hour there from 5 to 7 each evening. Plan on whiling away those twilight hours with $3 beers from LV's well-curated craft list or a L'Aquila, a bright blend of gin, saffron, grapefruit and basil.

But beverages aside, perhaps the biggest draw of Le Virtu's happy hour are the graze-worthy dishes that chef Joe Cicala has on offer. On special are a porchetta panino, Affettato Misto, a selection of his out-of-this-world house-cured salumi including prosciutto di Philly, cotechino and n'duja, a firey spreadable salame. There are plenty of reasons to love this Abbruzzese gem (hello, house-made pastas) but this whole al fresco salumi happy-hour deal just brought it one step closer to our heart.
