    While I don't love the long banquette where you feel like nearby diners are seated WITH you, the food MORE than made up for that small detail. FABULOUS dinner, fabulous service. I highly recommend. The salmon was divine, and beautifully plated. If you haven't been, GO!

    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!
