In checking ingredients, the chefs at Fiore Rosso find no beefs with its quality.

Chef Marc Vetri and his business partner Jeff Benjamin, having well established themselves in the Phila. dining scene, now bring their eccellente culinary reputations to Bryn Mawr, with Fiore Rosso. Michael Klein, The Philadelphia Inquirer, plated the details on this new Italian steakhouse in Montgomery County.

The scent and sizzle of meats cooked to perfection tempt the olfactory nerves and taste buds, respectively. But the 130-seat steakhouse also works to engage the eye. The restaurant contains an impressive array of art, including prints from Black photographer Carrie Mae Weems and a Picasso (Woman in Armchair, No. 2). Some of the works are on loan from private collections.

Vetri said he worked purposefully to keep Fiore Rosso from being just another steakhouse: He specifically crafted a culinary outlook that was far from expected “…wedge salad, shrimp cocktail, 15 steaks, creamed spinach, and a baked potato” experiences.

Investor Tom Gravina believed the Main Line site was prime for what Fiore Rosso offers.

“I’ve always felt that there are a lot of great people in the industry and some places that have been obviously successful,” he said. “But none were at the level of what I think Marc and Jeff can bring to the table.”

The soup-to-nuts story on this unique steakhouse is at The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Women in armchairs, like this one and the one at Fiore Rosso in Bryn Mawr, were a subject Picasso revisited.
