    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.

    Service was excelent. Bruschetta appetizer very good. Risotto overpowerly salfy, duck subifo very tasty except the thin film of congealed fat around the edges that forced me to avoid mixing in the sauce.

    Excellent service, unfortunately the food wasn’t great. The eggplant was over cooked and mushy, and too salty, the two kids dishes were also over seasoned and over sauced and the bread we ordered was hard like croutons. The cocktails and beet salad were delicious!

    Hi Bruce, sorry this was an underwhelming experience for you! We can add to your reservation notes for any future visits that you prefer a more quite table. We hope to serve you again in the near future.

    We had a great dinner experience at Via Vite. The atmosphere inside was comfortable and the menu had new and old favorites. We had excellent service and enjoyed a very special bottle of wine. We highly recommend the restaurant.
