VIA Italian TableVery pricey and the food wasVery pricey and the food was just ok. Have had much better Italian food on Shrewsbuty Street. Great bar area!6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for business lunchesGreat portions, excellent place to bring customers6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWent to VIA for my gf's birthdayWent to VIA for my gf's birthday during LobsterFest and could not have been happier with everything. Sat in their covered patio area as it was a beautiful night and started with the lobster cocktail. Entrees were lobster and avocado risotto for her and grilled lemon-brushed lobster tail for me. Very nice insalata mista came with my meal and gf upgraded to a caprese salad. All delicious and the service and atmosphere were terrific as well. Definitely coming back.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMAll around great restaurant!Wonderful dinning experience. As always the food and service was exceptional!6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMLeave Room For DessertEverything about our dinner was excellent.
Appetizers arrived quickly and we were able to decide on a main course while enjoying them without being rushed.
I highly recommend the "Ragu of Italian Meats", but only eat half and take the other half home because you'll want to save room for one or two of their delicious desserts.
I ordered their homemade Gelato and my wife had the Italian Chocolate Cheesecake, both of which were superb.
This is a favorite place of ours to dine and we will definitely return.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat lunch!Excellent lunch menu with smaller portions than dinner. Perfect for midday.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Lunch!A great choice for a graduation celebration meal. The service was perfectly timed and the food was good portioned and very tasty. Lots to choose from on the menu. Even my picky teenagers found many choices. The outside dinning are had a very nice ambiance but being a warm day we chose to dine inside where it was cool. I would definitely come back, maybe with just my husband for a nice romantic meal.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat girls night start spotThis is a classy spot to meet friends, have a nice glass of wine, and try a few delicious small plates. Excellent food on the patio6/8/2013 12:00:00 AManniversary dinner in the cityWe wanted a really nice dinner to celebrate our 8th anniversary and first date since having a baby. Our only complaint was how loud the restaurant is but well worth it for the food. Pricey but worth it for a great night out and close to home6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMService & FoodMy wife and I went for our 30th anniversary dinner. We were seated immediately by a pleasant hostess. The waitress / service was efficient and attentive however, I think, could have been more personable, maybe an off night. She was nice but could have smiled more and been more personally involved instead of simply going thru the motions. That's what separates good service from great service. The appetizers were excellent, the dinners & desert were good but lacked the depth of flavor I expected.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!Our first experience at Via was perfect! David & Cheryl were our wait staff & are a 5 star team for everything they do!
The Food & desserts were very good.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service wereThe food and service were incredible. It was a wonderful dining experience and look forward to visiting Via's again.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Birthday DinnerMy husband and I went to Via for my birthday and had a nice dinner. The last time we went was when they first opened a few years ago and we :were disappointed so we hadn't returned until now. We are so glad we gave Via another chance! My only complaint would be that the service was a bit too fast. Once we finished one course the next came out immediately, which felt a bit rushed. Otherwise it was a great experience.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was absolutely deliciousThe food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent - no complaints!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent. BruchettaFood was excellent. Bruchetta was delicious but challenging to eat as the tomatos are whole. Braised ribs were outstanding as was the warm caesar salad. Too many fruit fly's flying around our food. Chairs were comfortable, which is a real rarity these days.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMwe had a great experiencewe had a great experience as always at Via. the service was great. we would like to have specials though...5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day LunchWe had a great seat - booth near a window. Food was delicious - 3 of us - ordered chicken piccata, shrimp scampi, and suckling pig. The pork dish was a bit cold, but it was very busy - Mother's Day. Artichoke appetizer was amazing!
I love the atmosphere of Via!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyed Mother's Day mealWe had a 5:30 reservation on mother's day; arrived on time and were immediately seated. That was a great first impression. Food and service were very good. Regarding service, we had two employees tending to us; both very attentive without being annoying. A few times one would come by and ask the same question that the other had already asked, but no big deal.
Bottom line is that we will be back and will enthusiastically encourage our friends to do the same.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great experience.Always a great experience. No complaints at all. Love the espresso brownie sundae5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTerrific ServiceI was surprised at how wonderful the service was. It was Mother's Day and it was very busy but our wait staff were fabulous.

WE had theatre tickets for 8:00 and the restaurant was only 7 minutes from the theatre!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat TimeWent to VIA following graduation ceremony at WPI. We found out that a few out of town relatives wanted to join us just a few hours before our reservation. Although incredibly busy that day, the staff accomodated us without question. All of our meals were delicious. Will definitely return.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved ItWe had a party of 10 and each and every one of us enjoyed the dinning experiance in every aspect. Food , Staff and Atmosphere was Top Shelf!!!!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was delicious. IThe food was delicious. I had the shortrib and gnocchi meal and it didn't disappoint. The only issue is my husband's meal was greatly enjoyed by him, but the portion was very small. He had the surf and turf, one of the most expensive meals, and his portion was obviously smaller than the rest of ours. It was a bit noisy inside and we ended up sitting on the patio which was still closed in since it is chilly. I was fine but my friend was sitting at the end and she was chilly. I definitely enjoy sitting inside in Via or sitting outside on a nice day, but outside on a chilly night, even closed in, was not the best atmosphere.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAll around great, can notAll around great, can not say enough. One of my favorites!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMNoise LevelAlthough the food was excellent, the noise level was almost unbearable. My dining partner and I almost had to yell to each other to be heard.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good service. Food wasVery good service. Food was great.

HadA very nice experience. Had to wait a short time (10-15 min) beyond our reserved hour to be seated and that area was very noisy. Once at our table, however, the noise subsided to a dull roar and the service was commendable. We enjoyed ourselves very much.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great time, lovedWe had a great time, loved the fonduta appetizer, that was great. The only complaint was my husband was disappointed with the pork chop he said it was too salty. He always heard it was good and decided to give it a try, but said he would never order it again.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways goodThe food is great and the service is fast and friendly. You never feel like your being rushed. You can really enjoy the good meal being served.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing foodI hadn't been to Via in a few years and had heard mixed reviews from different people. However, my friend and I both agreed that our meals were amazing! She had the salmon and I chose a pasta dish with lobster and shrimp. Excellent job!4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good service, excellentVery good service, excellent meal choices and prompt response.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMThree of us went to dinnerThree of us went to dinner before an evening at the Hanover Theatre on a Friday evening. we all had something different and each of our dinners was excellent. I have also eaten lunch here and was very impressed, which was why we planned dinner here. Do not miss the Crepe Cake for dessert -- unique and fabulous!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood foodI found the Via to be good. There portions were hearty and a good value for the price. I would recommend it to others as a nice restaurant to take a date.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMDinner was delicious and theDinner was delicious and the ambiance great too. Took too long to be waited on and to get Sangria. Server knew we were going to the show at the Hanover Theatre but took her sweet time to serve us. Plus was complimentary appetizer ($10 max) or dessert ($8)for each diner with a ticket to the theatre. Was difficult to know where to park as there was no attendant at or near the door. They need better signage because alot of spots were dedicated to companies in other nearby buildings.4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything was great. I reallyEverything was great. I really enjoyed the steak, and my girlfriend loved the seafood. She is very picky about her seafood, so that is a major thumbs up. If I ever have family in town, then VIA Italian Table will be the first place that comes to mind!4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had two wonderful waiters.We had two wonderful waiters.

The prices were very reasonable4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMOur overall experience withOur overall experience with Via was excellent. Beginning with the reservation process through Open table which was easy and efficient with prompt confirmation and what appeared to be an easy reservation modification method. We were seated within moments of arrival despite it being a very busy evening, a very welcome start. The food was as promised, upscale comfort food at its best. The interior was quite inviting, though the sound level was very energetic, it was not off putting at all, the spirited conversation due to the enjoyment of a fine meal I'm sure. The wait staff was knowledgable, friendly and efficient. I would recommend Via to our friends with no hesitation. We will return.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a great night with myHad a great night with my honey. Food was delicious and service attentive.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMCheryl is an excellent waitressOur waitress Cheryl was outstanding. I described a food image I saw on the website and she knew just what I was asking about. Although it is only on the lunch menu she was able to make it happen. Also my sister in law was asking about a wine nd he offered a sample. Lastly, it was my husbands birthday and I had only mentioned it when I made the online reservation. At dessert she brought gelato and gave it to the correct man at the table. Cheryl made the entire visit to Via wonderful. When we go again I would request her as a waitress and would recommend her to others.
Michelle4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for Easter dinnerWe went for Easter dinner and got the specials which included appetizer, entree and dessert. The price was very reasonable and the selections perfect. We also got the traditional antipasto, and it was delicious - though we realized we overindulged by the end of the meal! Excellent cocktails and delicious wine. Two servers handled our table of three, so we were never without drinks or service. The seating was comfortable and offered some privacy, and the atmosphere was upbeat and friendly. This was our first time going out for Easter dinner and we loved it!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMHave been going to Via's forHave been going to Via's for years. Love it. Food always great.
