City Paper has the scoop:
"Continuing their efforts to educate Philadelphia craft enthusiasts in the ways of Italian beers, this Tuesday Alla Spina (1410 Mt Vernon St.) is welcoming two collaboration beers from Brooklyn Brewery and Amarcord, an Italian craft brewery located in Rimini i.e. Fellini country.
AMA Bionda, a blonde brewed with Sicilian orange blossom honey and and AMA Bruna, a brown ale with notes of caramelized sugar and toffee are making their Philadelphia-area debut. Amacord's Andrea Pianini will be on hand to chat and both brews will be served with a complimentary paired plate."

Serious Eats recaps Marc Vetri’s visit to Eataly’s Chef’s Table in New York
By Hashtag on Mar 27 2013 Posted in: Vetri, Osteria, Alla Spina, Amis, Press, 0 comments
"The dinner was not only the perfect opportunity to get a taste of Vetri's food without taking the trip to Philly, but also a great mini-lesson in Italian cuisine. Chef Vetri took breaks between cooking in the open kitchen to talk about each course before it was served, and the intimate classroom-like setting meant that there were plenty of opportunities to chat with the chef one-on-one between courses. Eataly's wine team provided an Italian wine pairing for every course, as well as some background on each bottle. And if the communal seating weren't enough, the abundance of good wine and good food ensured that you would make new friends before the meal was through."

Marc Vetri’s Spinach Gnocchi with Shaved Ricotta Salata featured on Food & Wine
By Hashtag on Mar 22 2013 Posted in: Vetri, Osteria, Alla Spina, Amis, Press, 0 comments "Carrot gnocchi. Squash gnocchi. Beet gnocchi. Eating in restaurants around Italy in the mid 1990s, Marc Vetri discovered these vegetable-based versions of one of his favorite pastas. They inspired him to create a recipe for spinach gnocchi using eggs, bread crumbs, Grana Padano cheese and a little flour; they’re more intensely flavorful than the traditional ricotta kind. Vetri finishes the dish with brown butter and ricotta salata shavings. The gnocchi have been on Vetri Ristorante’s menu since the place opened in 1998, and the only thing that’s changed is the size. 'We first made one that looked like a big spinach meatball,' says Vetri. 'But guests thought the other pastas were small in comparison. Since then, we’ve served the gnocchi in all sizes, from three large ones to 12 very small ones.'"
