   Dinner was good. We ordered the Octopus appetizer which was really well prepared. It was excellent. We also ordered the fried gnocchi. It needed a dipping sauce. It was just ok. For dinner we ordered the Branzino. It was one fillet on a bed of crab risotto. The crab risotto was the best thing we ate. Fish was cooked perfectly. I had the squid ink risotto with Octopus and Shrimp. It was good but it was a bit more expensive than most of the dinner entrees. It was an ample amount of risotto. Overall, we would definitely go back. Lot of other dishes worth trying.

    Food good not special. Nothing about it makes me want to go back. Store bought bread, portions smallish, nothing comes with, an average restaurant, but $55 for two entrees needs to be special. It ain’t. Good, not memorable.

    The pastas were delicious, particularly the spinach ravioli! That said, the special pasta was $37, and we didn’t realize this until the bill came. The dish was good, but we feel it was overpriced. We will be back.

    I will preface my review by saying that it was a Friday night and extremely busy. The food was superb. The service was pleasant and good, but I think the kitchen either was too rushed or not organized enough, because our food came out haphazardly, not in the order expected. We were served appetizers before the soup or salad, and had to send the soup and salad back as we weren't through with the appetizers (and the table was small, so couldn't fit everything on the table. The noise level was very loud, which is difficult if one has hearing aids. We will come back because the food is superb, but we will try to do this midweek, when it's likely to be less crowded and therefore also less noisy. Hopefully it will be a more relaxing experience.

    Food was very good. Highly recommend the burrata salad. I had the pork tenderloin special and it was delicious. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and he enjoyed it. Service was very good. My only complaint is that the tables are small and close together. We will definitely return.

    Had a great brunch with a friend at Via 417. We agreed that next time, we would go for dinner. The Italian menu is interesting and eclectic. As a diabetic, I sadly have to bypass pasta, but I was quite pleased to see their selection of fish and chicken with sides other than pasta. Subtle, minimalist, inviting atmosphere with a cool color scheme. They have seriously improved the somewhat drab ambiance of the previous restaurants on this site, which was somewhat drab. I look forward to my next meal at Via 417. IMO, it's by far the best Italian restaurant in Jenkintown.

    We've eaten at Via 417 twice and the service was outstanding both times. We love the ambiance and that it's BYOB. The food is creatively prepared without being too fussy. This is our new destination for special dinners.

    Via 417 is such a great addition to Jenkintown. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave it is a wonderful experience. The food is well-prepared and very tasty. You can tell a lot of care and preparation go each dish. The staff is very professional an welcoming. Even the chef came out and inquired about our meal. I would strongly recommend this restaurant.

    This is the 2nd time at VIA 417 . We so enjoy the coziness of a small restaurant and almost every table was taken yet it wasn’t loud . I had the Veal 417 which was a veal roll up with roasted peppers mozzarella and walnuts. It was delicious! My husband had the pappardelle bolognese . I find everything I have ordered hot, fresh and great. We shared a Caesar salad that was garlicky and very tasty. Have reservations for Valentine Day. Highly recommend !

    First time here & I have to say its one of the most elegant restaurants in Jenkintown. From the food (especially the pappardelle fungi) to the service, it was a wonderful experience A bit loud as it was a Saturday & a crowded room but definitely a must try!

    I was recommended this byob by a friend. He did not disappoint in this recommendation. The menu is great and we had difficulty making a decision on what to order. Everyone enjoyed what they had. We were a little pressed for time, so we didn't get to enjoy as much of the apps as we could have. Will make it a point to stop back again. If you are in the area, I highly recommend.

    I am grateful to have found this restaurant - my family & I wanted to take my husband out for birthday brunch, and we were not interested in fighting the brunch crowds of the surrounding mediocre eateries. We couldn’t have had a more delightful experience today - in both delicious food and overall experience. The staff is welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable. And every bite was delicious! Our family had a combination of things from the brunch menu: pancakes with crumble topping, stuffed French toast, and savory egg and sausage bagel sandwich. The host also surprised us all with a birthday candle on a (to-die-for) saffron panna cotta. Just based on the stuffed French toast and saffron panna cotta alone, we plan to be back very soon (and hope to try the dinner menu too).

    We live in the neighborhood, and are very familiar with the local dining scene, and invested in the success of local businesses. The category of moderately-priced Italian restaurants is well represented in the local area- everyone has their go-to for pasta, pizza, etc. A newcomer has to bring something additional to the table. There have been a few places that opened in the couple of smaller restaurant locations in Jenkintown, but these have been more “date night” locations, a little more upscale, with food and service that feel special, and they can stay competitive with lower table turnover. Their competition is, however, fine dining establishments, not the Italian place a couple of blocks up the street, with adjacent parking, and space for larger parties. We tried Via 417, hoping it would fill the finer dining void, left by the couple of places that did not survive the pandemic. Unfortunately, not so much. The service was fine. The food, disappointing. The bread was spongy and lacked good flavor. My salad was overdressed and soggy. Our entrees rather bland. We really wanted to like it, but, unless we hear that they have tweaked the food, and it is at least as good if not better than the places in our usual rotation for Italian meals, we won’t be back.

    We booked an 11a reservation on a Saturday for brunch and were very happy with the experience. I have two smaller children and the menu had items that everyone enjoyed. The food was amazing (stuffed french toast is a must). Portion size was perfect. Service is great. Overall definitely would recommend and plan on coming back in for dinner soon.
