Philadelphia Michelin Green Star｜Pietramala – Totally Worth It!

Pietramala is Philly’s only Michelin Green Star vegetarian restaurant — and it’s delicious! The lighting, decor, and ambiance make it perfect for a romantic date. I dined solo at the counter, watching the chefs prepare and plate each dish with calm precision — such a treat! 🏅 Golden Beet Salad 🥗 I’ve had many beet salads, but this one is truly exceptional. Perfectly balanced seasoning, rich layers of flavor. Diced golden beets topped with crispy sunchoke chips — so satisfying. A signature dish mentioned in the Michelin guide — must-order! 🏅 Focaccia 🍞 First bite reminded me of Beijing zhajiangmian! Tomato adds a bright note, and the bread is fried till crispy — savory and delicious 😋. 🏅 Sweet Potato 🍠 Possibly the best roasted sweet potato I’ve ever had. Slightly tangy, slightly spicy sauce complements the sweet potato beautifully — even the skin is edible (no weird texture!). The sauce adds depth to the natural sweetness — a perfect match. 🏅 Spaghettoni 🍝 So good — highly recommend! Like a creamy mushroom pasta with three types of mushrooms — deeply umami. 🏅 Dessert: Ice Cream 🍧 Not a chocolate fan, so I chose the ice cream. Salty caramel + sweet ice cream = heavenly combo. The cornflake crunch on top adds great texture. A hint of basil felt slightly out of place, but still excellent overall. 🍴 Pietramala 📍 614 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19123 💰 ~$50–80 per person | 2–3 dishes per person is ideal 📅 Reservations via Opentable — still relatively easy to book. #PhillyEats #MichelinGreenStar #VegetarianRestaurant #Pietramala #DateNightSpot #FineDining
