Waiter was great, food and wine pairing was perfect!

Unbelievably great cuisine
Staff all gracious
Atmosphere is great
Jake was considerate kind and attentive

The food is amazing! We had-
1. Fig and Goat Chees Bruschetta
2. Handmade Crispy Gnocchi
3. Faroe Island Salmon

Each of the above is a must-try!!

Trent was beyond wonderful!!! Never had to wait for a thing!

Excellent food. The pepper steak was one of the best steak dinners I have ever had. Incredibly tender and wonderfully flavorful.
Outstanding.
Excellent attentive service from our waitress.

While I am thrilled to see that Via Vite is back open again for lunch (we've literally been waiting for this for months), some in our party were disappointed with their meal. Unfortunately he would not recommend the crab pasta dish, as it was advertised as spicy and was far from that. It also did not have any noticeable crab in the dish. Overall though, the old classics were wonderful - bolognese, vodka, etc. We will definitely be back.

Trent was an exceptional server. Gracious, engaging, attentive and unobtrusive. The manager stopped by to check in on us and was genuine in his interest in our well being. Food was excellent.

Great new menu with two excellent new pastas. Great to see VV open for lunch again.

Was so happy to have it reopened for lunch! IT is a great downtown option with great food.

The best food

Great food, need more help. Great food. Great place

Kelly was amazing!

Fantastic food and service. Did not overpay for anything and received one of our best Italian meals in a long time.

The food was great. Especially the octopus starter. Would really have enjoyed being outside instead but they can't accommodate parties of more than 4.

Inventive menu and caring friendly service. Our downtown favorite.

The service was great. The goat cheese salad and salmon were exceptional.

Great food and service. The lasagna was wonderful. Need more side salad choices though.

We were going to a concert and told our waiter Jake our time constraints. He was awesome in taking our order, getting it out quickly and never made us feel rushed. The food was also delicious!

I visited Via Vite September 7, 2021, the night as a concert on Fountain Square. I wanted a way to hear the music, but avoid the crowds. The outdoor balcony at Via Vite was the perfect match. What I didn't anticipate was how wonderful an experience the combination of the food and music would be. The staff was incredibly accomodating, trying to make sure people had views of the screen and stage. The service was also amazing in general - great recommendations, just the right level of attentiveness, and friendly. I came for the location, not the food, but realized that was a mistake, because the food is certainly worth its own trip. Everything was delicious and I'll be back even without a concert next time :)

We had a pleasant evening with friends, appetizers were fantastic especially the Bruchette and Veal Meatballs. We enjoyed some of the pasta dishes and I had the wonderful Lamb Shank. Followed by the Dark Chocolate dessert. A wonderful Amarone Wine with Some Espresso after dinner drinks. All delightful. A wonderful server and staff was courteous and kind.

Gazpacho was out of this world, seafood risotto very good and the fig jam bruschetta always a favorite.

Excellent! Great service and food! Waiter was excellent, don’t remember his name but he was a young Gentleman, recent XU graduate. Will definitely be returning and recommending.

The food was delicious and the service top notch. We definitely recommend this place and will be back ourselves.

The food is always amazing. The staff is generally very helpful and professional. One failure with service this last time but it was minor. Still will be coming back.

Gnocchi was best we’ve ever had!

Delicious lamb shank.

We went to Via Vite before a show at the Aronoff. We were greeted by two friendly hostesses who sat us at a window table overlooking the square. Our server, Samantha, was outstanding!! She was so nice, talkative and attentive and we felt relaxed and not rushed. She really made for a great experience. We started with the bruschetta which was out of this world. For our main course we both got the bucatini amatriciana and were not disappointed. Very very good! We finished with delicious gelato. It was a great evening and we will certainly be back.

Don’t know why we have never been before but know we will be back. The food was amazing and not overpriced at all. Great location. Left dinner and then listened to music on the square before heading to the Johnny Mathis concert.

A very nice meal! Trent was polite, friendly and
professional. Delicious bolognese with meat BALL! :P

One of the best salmon dinners I ever had! Highly recommend!

We were more than happy with the food. We had the goat cheese bruschetta for starters and followed that with the seafood risotto and gnocchi. I will CERTAINLY visit again for the gnocchi. It was a smaller dish but good to pair with an entree. We then did the steak entree which was large enough to share. We did the olive oil on the side which makes it less heavy.

We came for drinks and appetizers, and this place did not disappoint! We both had gin drinks and they were delicious. For the appetizer, we had the grilled octopus. Hands down, the best I’ve ever had. It was cooked to perfection and served with a gremolata that I could have drank! The potatoes and frisée pared beautifully and the portions were perfect for 2 of us to share. Best appetizer I’ve had in a long time and next time I come back, I may make it my meal! Our server was Emily, she was attentive and very sweet. The manager also stopped by. It was a wonderful evening and a perfect start to our anniversary night!

Great service and great food. The gnocchi is always the right choice. Also had the lasagna special, portion was huge and it tasted great.

A Mary Poppins experience: practically perfect in every way.

Food was amazing, portions were just right, service was great (thank you, Beth). Could not have been better.

Gnocchi is to kill for. Enjoyed the swordfish and lamb shank. Chocolate creme brûlée was outstanding.

This was our first visit (been to sister restaurant Nicola’s many times), we will return.

Food is as good as all the reviews. Vodka pasta with sausage was an interesting take and very tasty. Brussels sprouts were incredible, sort of a carmelized maple glaze. Wine list was very nice with a wide array Italian choices.

Food was awesome staff was very friendly service was excellent highly recommend

Went out for a date night/bday dinner and was immediately greeted with a champagne toast for a bday. Food was beyond fabulous and the service was impeccable.

It was good food and service was fantastic!

Via vite was amazing as always! Great food, great service

The amatriciana, seafood risostto and boucheron goat cheese salad were all fantastic. The risotto was absolutely loaded with delicious fresh-tasting seafood and cooked to perfection. The only hiccup was our server forgot our bread and disappeared a couple different times even though they were definitely not very busy at all. Minor complaint compared to the entire experience.
