Best Italian food and best service we've had in years. Started with jumbo shrimp and a tomato/mozzarella/prosciutto/lobster app with balsamic glaze. Delicious. I had the lobster stuffed shells. Amazing! One of the tastiest dishes ever. Paired with a Pinot Noir, just sooo good. Could not resist the gelato for dessert. The waitresses (two!) were total professionals. All in all, a very special birthday treat. Five stars!
This is by far one of my favorite places to eat in Worcester. The food is top-notch, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a great meal and conversation. I highly recommend trying the meatballs as an appetizer. I had the salmon, which was excellent, but the Bolognese is outstanding as well.
A nice Italian restaurant in Worcester, especially if you're celebrating a special occasion or looking to have a business lunch. While I personally think there are better options for Italian food in the area (for a more affordable price), via is a consistent Italian restaurant in the area. I specifically appreciate the ambiance and service of the restaurant, which makes it great for special occasions. I've been here a dozen or so times for various occasions, and some of my favorite items include the meatball sandwich, chicken parm. Their fries are shockingly one of my favorite foods there. Now, my partner and I prefer to go here for dessert instead, as they have a variety of delicious gelatos.
We chose Via Italian Table for a post-graduation celebration and it didn't disappoint. After a short wait at the bar to access our table (for an 8 pm reservation), we were seated in a cozy semi-circle booth. It took a bit too long to get our ordered drinks, but the rest of the evening went great! Our waitstaff was attentive and checked in regularly. For a party of 5, the meals were delivered in a timely way. The food was delicious. Entrees come with either soup or salad and I enjoyed Chicken orzo soup. My herb-encrusted Halibut was wonderful, accompanied by asparagus in a tasty Parmesan coating and oven-roasted potatoes. We were pleasantly surprised and touched when our graduates were presented with gratis gelato. We also had some of the best Tiramisu I've ever tasted! The chocolate torta was rich but a bit dry. Overall a great dining experience.
I met my BFF at Via Italian Table for lunch at her recommendation. The service was excellent and my meal was delicious. I had the Tuscan Herb & Crumb Crusted Haddock. The fish was very moist and there was a generous portion of roasted potatoes. The asparagus was standard. My friend enjoyed her meal, as well. We shared a dessert of 3 scoops of house made gelato & sorbetti (chocolate, coconut & limoncello)-so good! The portion was very large- we didn't eat all of it. We were not rushed at all. The atmosphere is lovely. Parking was a bit tricky. Recommended.
Another great celebration at Via!!! We sat at the bar and just ordered drinks, appetizers and desserts, they have such delicious appetizers and desserts we just don't have room for a meal also!!! Great service as usual from the bartenders and everything was done perfectly!
A M A Z I N G The atmosphere is great: comfortable, charming, and energetic and the food is even better. The calamari is fresh, the octopus is perfect. The Ragu of Italian Meats is massive. Plan to bring it home or share with someone. The Ziti with Roasted Chicken is a perfect blend of vegetables, protein and pesto cream. The only disappointment is that we didn't start coming here a long time ago.
The classy environment with a granite bar immediately caught my attention, and I knew I was in for a treat. The friendly waitress not only provided excellent service but also impressed me by remembering the rest of my party. It's those personal touches that make a dining experience truly memorable. The pricing was fair, which was an added bonus considering the quality of the food and the ambiance. The restrooms were impeccably clean, reflecting the attention to detail throughout the establishment. Now, let's talk about the food. The meatball sandwich I ordered was simply amazing. The meatballs were perfectly seasoned and tender, while the bread was fresh and complemented the flavors beautifully. And the truffle fries? They were absolutely divine. Crispy, golden, and infused with that irresistible truffle aroma. It was a culinary match made in heaven. To top it all off, the service was quick and efficient, ensuring that I had a seamless dining experience. I left the restaurant with a satisfied smile on my face, impressed by the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the overall ambiance. This is definitely a place I will be returning to, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a delightful dining experience.
