Best Italian Restaurants in Bethlehem

It was my boyfriend’s and I’s anniversary dinner. It was amazing! We were only able to schedule a late reservation but they still gave us superb hospitality. For an appetizer we got the fried calamari. My boyfriend got the salmon special which was delicious and I got the Chicken Parmesan. To end the evening we had a coffee cheesecake which was out of this world! Our server was amazing as well.

My husband and I returned to Vetri Cucina to celebrate our anniversary, as we had done the year prior. Immediately, we were encompassed by the warm singular ambience of the small dining room: it feels like coming home. Eric, our server, was outstanding. He was with us throughout the multi-course prix-fixe meal, and gave us excellent commentary about what we were about to eat and drink. He even laughed when I asked, “Does everyone make it through all of the courses?” and he responded, “No. You are the first one.” Vetri is a unique experience. The courses arrive in a decent pace, always giving us enough time to digest and ruminate. The food is uniformly excellent; you can’t really go wrong. Highly recommend!

Wonderful food, creative menu, great flavors. Our favorite spot

Our server was excellent. Items on the menu not available. Candles not lit on the tables. Just feels worn and not maintained well.

We’re so sorry to see this gem close! It has been a go-to place for us because of the consistency of both food and service, which remained outstanding. We never experienced an off night. Luke and Rachel ran an excellent restaurant and we commend them. We wish them well and hope they will continue to share their talents somewhere in the Lehigh Valley.
