The Inspiration For Le Virtu (The Virtues) Comes From Our Experiences At The Tables Of Family, Friends And Farm Restaurants All Over Abruzzo. Serious, Unpretentious Abruzzese Food And Hospitality In South Philly. Le Virtu Is One Of Few Restaurants In America So Dedicated To The Culinary Traditions Of A Specific Region Of Italy And One Of The Country's Most Authentic Italian Dining Experiences. Le Virtu, A Rich Minestrone, Is Made On The 1st Of May In Teramo, Abruzzo. Traditionally, The Town's Most Virtuous Girls Use The Legumes, Pastas And Other Ingredients Left In The Cupboard And Larder After The Hard Abruzzese Winter.
