    First time at this restaurant for Valentine’s Day, and I loved the place! A little disappointed because we had a 9:30 reservation, but when we arrived, the host told us they were running behind, so we had to wait 20 minutes (along with other couples). Once seated, the service was very fast. Our server was just okay but I understand it was a busy night. The food was delicious and came out quickly. We’ll definitely be back!

    The potato leek soup was excellent, but the entrees were disappointing. I had high expectations given how many good things I’ve heard about Via Vite, but the pasta dishes we got were really underwhelming.

    Via Vita is one of our favorites restaurants. Food was excellent as always - we tried some new menu items - and service by Sarah and support staff was outstanding. New very comfortable chairs at our window table added to an already very nice dining room.
