Eating Italy Class is offered by Vetri Cucina. Like Mother, Like Son-in-Law? When Sparks began to fly between our Culinary Director, Chef Jeff Michaud and his future-wife, Jeff gained not only a lifelong partner in Claudia, but a culinary companion in her mother, Guiseppina “Mamma Pina” Carrara. Pina and Jeff connected quickly over their mutual love for Italian food and its ability to bring families together. Referred to in Italy as a buongustaio – a “good taster – Mamma Pina has inspired innumerable recipes that Chef Michaud now shares with guests at the Vetri Family of restaurants.

Vetri Cucina has the longstanding reputation as being one of the most respected and influential Italian restaurants in the country.
After years of working in the finest kitchens in Italy and the U.S., Chef Marc Vetri returned home to his native Philadelphia and took up residence in the intimate, historic townhouse that was once home to the lauded Le Bec-Fin. Together with his business partner, Jeff Benjamin, they opened Vetri Cucina’s doors in September of 1998.
Over the past two decades the restaurant has continued to offer outstanding rustic fare, handcrafted pastas, innovative flavor combinations and artful presentations inspired by Italian cuisine. Throughout this time, Marc and Jeff have been honored to give back to the city through their work with the Vetri Community Partnership.
