    Such a great little spot! Friends introduced us to Via Cannuccia a couple of weeks ago and we were excited to return on our own. Everything we tried was terrific! We’ll be back often!

    Via Cannuccia is THE BEST Italian in Boston. Authentic central Italy cuisine. The staff go above and beyond. The chef is so very friendly. Come for brunch or pick up pastries on Saturday and Sunday. Alternatively grab dinner and be delighted.

    Since Chef Stefano opened his restaurant a few months ago, I’ve told my friends who enjoy great food that they have to try Via Cannuccia in Dorchester. Tonight we ventured out with 2 of our friends. It’s definite more fun with more people, so you can try More Things! None of us had eaten all day, so we were all ready to eat. We tried a lot….. There really aren’t any wrong choices. If you’re looking for something more familiar, the lasagna bolognese was the best my husband has ever had, the ravioli in sugo with pesto was great, & the salsiccia pizza we shared to start was outstanding. My husband described the grilled homemade porchetta as “hypnotic”; he wasn’t wrong. But to me, the two Most Outstanding plates were the TROTA AFFUMICATA, which was smoked trout with a frisée salad & amazing sweet potato papadams; it was both delicious & brilliantly creative. And since he chose the lasagna & one of my friends had the braised short ribs special, I went with the TORTINO DI POLLO IN SFOGLIA AL FORNO (baked chicken pie with mushrooms & mozzarella). The chicken pie was served with mushroom sauce on the side, as well as a reduction of chicken jus. With autumn pressing forward, this is the perfect antidote for winter. We had a trio of desserts that were all delicious; we pretty much agreed the milk cake was the best, so if you can only try one…. Chef Stefano cooks everything himself. The breads, the porchetta, the smoked fish, the pasta, the sauces, the desserts, EVERYTHING. The weekend brunch menu features a great selection of fresh pastries too. Make a reservation & make the trip to Via Cannuccia in Dorchester!!

    It’s a combo of high brow and local enoteca. Very basic table set up. The red wine came chilled, which was a big pleasant surprise. But, now I’m looking on their website for a wine list so that I can remind myself the bottle I got there, but the website doesn’t have the wine list on it. As aggravating as that is, I love it! Keep it real! Keep it low brow. Let me regret not noting the wine when I was there in the moment. It will make me return!

    This is a wonderful Italian place right in the heart of Dorchester, but it feels (and tastes!) like the best of North End restaurants. All five of us raved about our dinners. The service was wonderful, with the server welcoming us to our table. AS we apologized for being late, he said "The important thing is that you made it.) WE knew we were in for a lovely evening and we were not disappointed. From the warm made on location bread to the fabulous entries, our experience was fantastic. Can't wait to go back.

    One of the best meals (brunch) I’ve had. You MUST try the potatoes, it’s life changing. :) Get there early for the pastry selection. All baked in house and amazing! The croissants were generously filled (I had Oreo cream, my friend has apricot) with perfect bite!
