James Beard award-winning chef Marc Vetri’s third endeavor, Amis, brings Roman comfort food into its delectable glory in a hip industrial space on South 13th street in Philadelphia. Since it opened in early 2010, Amis has garnered praise from some of the most exalted food critics and publications in the country including being named one of the “Top 10 Pasta Restaurants in America” by Bon Appetit magazine. Amid the chic, intimate dinning room, fresh hand-made pastas circulate and wine glasses clink. Menu highlights like the Tonearelli “cacio e pepe” with pecorino and black pepper are straightforward, seasonal, and traditional. Amis executive chef and former Vetri sous chef, Brad Spence, heads the kitchen cooking this updated Roman fare. Like Vetri’s other restaurants -- Vetri and Osteria --Amis takes Italian food seriously, and this rustic and affordable menu makes a great addition to this family of restaurants. Check it out at http://www.amisphilly.com
