What people say, in short
Le Virtù draws recommendations for Italian food, particularly pasta, and one commenter singles out the scrippelle. Another calls it a favorite on Passyunk Avenue. A diner recommends the front window table for a date, while another suggests pairing dinner with a neighborhood walk. One visitor also appreciates the option of smaller pasta portions. Commenters distinguish its regional Italian cooking from classic Italian-American or old-school restaurant expectations; that distinction is not itself a complaint about the food.
