    WE went on a Wednesday night where its just pizza and appetizers and $1 oystersThe Food was INCREDIBLlY EXCELLENT. We ate outside (Dot Ave curbside is kind of grim) but we avoided the mob inside and the unpleasant noise level

    Met a friend for brunch at Via Cannuccia - our favorite neighborhood spot - and was rewarded as always with great food, friendly service (thanks Kelly), wonderful neighborhood vibe. Stephano stopped by the table to say hi as he often does. We split a couple of items so as to solve our dilemma of not being able to choose : ). Bought a delicious loaf of house made bread on the way out. Wonderful as always.

    I love eating here! The food, the people, the vibe and the hospitality is always so great. Stefano is an amazing host, as the chef, he takes time to come into the dining room to greet his customers. It feels like I’m at his home!

    Every time I’ve gone, I’ve never been greeted when I get there. I get ignored for a while until someone finally asks if I have a reservation. Food is amazing though.
