    We had a late night dinner reservation, 10:00 on a Saturday night. We got there early and they were very accommodating and sat us promptly. Everyone one was lovely and very helpful. Our waiter, I cannot remember his name, was friendly and his descriptions of the entrees was spot on. The food was delicious as always. We never felt rushed. The ambiance was perfect. Via Vite never disappoints us! Thank you for making our evening so pleasant!

    My experience at Via Vite was incredible! Our server Ryan recommended dishes that we absolutely LOVED, and the Director Carly was very friendly checking on us to make sure we enjoyed every step of our experience. I highly recommend the Gnocchi, it was the best one I’ve ever had! Will definitely be returning!

    I had a great light meal before a performance at the Cincy Shakes theatre. The chicken ceasar salad and mushroom appetizer paired with a glass of white wine followed by a bourbon, espresso vanilla Gelato was just the thing. Service and atmosphere were great as one would expect from a top restaurant.

    Food was just delicious. Great location right on Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati. Our server Kelly was fantastic. We have already made reservations for dinner prior to our next play.

    Sophia was the best server we’ve ever had anywhere bar none. I can’t remember a dining experience that was so interactive with the server that it set the positive tone for a wonderful evening. We didn’t even want to go to the show, we just wanted to sit and drink from the marvelous wine list. The octopus was sensational. Fresh, well marinated, grilled to perfection and delicate. Truly a delight!
