Another really great dinner at Via Uno. My wife and I shared everything but dessert as we wanted to enjoy all of it. Excellent Burrata and Prosciutto(Speck) with Figs as was the Beet, Arugala and Goat Cheese salad. The truly outstanding item as the Fiocchetti which is small sacks of pasta stuffed with Gorgonzola and pears in light sauce of butter and spinach. We finished dinner with dinner with a classic lemon shorbetto in a lemon and a chocolate Tartufo, which made us feel like we were back on the Piazza Navova in Rome. Can't do much better than that!!!!!

There was no butter or oil/balsamic vinegar offered when the bread basket came. We were charged $20 for corkage even though it listed corkage as $15 on the website...I should have called this out, my bad. I also said this was a very special occasion on OpenTable when making the reso's as it was our 38th anniversary and nothing...no offer of a dessert or even waiter to say *Happy Anniversary*. We were big fans of Via Uno from the beginning, but now, not so sure.

What I love most about this place is that it's the real deal. So authentic. I want to try it all! Fun that it's a short drive to El Granada for a stroll afterward!

WEnt in Valentine’s Day. Loved the food. Pricing was on par with the area. It was Valentine’s Day so very busy and a little chaotic with reservations and delays but they rectified the longer wait with free Prosecco. Family owned and operated and very Italian. I’d come back for the spicy radiatore dish. Mouth watering good. Also the spumoni ice cream cake. So good!!

From the moment we walked up to the front door to the end of the evening the staff was warm and welcoming. The food was spectacular and the atmosphere was charming. It’s a gem of a restaurant and we will definitely be back!

Excellent service by exceptionally welcoming and friendly staff. Authentic Italian cuisine with homemade pastas, delicious gnocchi, and several other scrumptious menu items to choose from. Great wine selections. Very busy, but also very accommodating, with ample room for larger parties. Noise level was a bit high, but also expected for a Friday night dinner service. Very impressed by Via Uno and will definitely come back!
