Had a Celebration of Life For My Auntie Mrs. Georgia Roberson a couple weeks back. The whole family vibe was awesome, and the food was delicious! The service staff were very accommodating. The Christmas scenery in the lobby was beautiful.

Chicken fell off the bone. Peppers, onions and carrots were cooked and grilled perfectly, mashed potatoes were real. Wow! Service was great. Dining area was setup good and clean. Really, no complaints here. We just had my mother's 90th birthday party there. Around 30 people. We opted for cash bar and prices were on point, if not less than some local bars. Josefina was great helping us organizing the party. We were able to get in a little earlier to set up balloons, pictures, table decor etc; Off topic, I believe the owner supports firefighters. Very cool. Thank you Via Bella for making the party a memorable event for my mother and guests.

For 10.97 this is the best lunch buffet deal in a 25mi radius for a lunch buffet. Not a huge selection, but there is enough and at prices these days its worth it. You can spend more at McDonald's and get less food. Nice atmosphere too. Plus, its supporting local business. Marge who works here is a chatty cathy and a gem!Parking: Little parking right off the road and plenty of parking in back.

I went there last year for Mother's day and everything was so good. This year, not so much. The food was terrible this year ?. Outside of that, if people purchase tickets to your event, it shouldn't matter if they didn't make a reservation. You know that tickets were sold... be prepared for the tickets sold. Now the host and hostess are very kind. They wait staff is on point. I truly love the atmosphere

We went there for Mother's Day. where to start - well reservation was at 130 we weren't seated until 150. We were told there was plenty of food. Well that was false. Sternos weren't lit so food was cold. They stopped making omelets at 220 even though hours were until 3. They ran out of French toast, calamari and roast beef. website said carving station and it was just a bunch of carved lunch meat in a pan. We wereCharged for tip and gratuity and we never had a server. So disappointed will never go here and would recommend against going here. We were charged $20 for a two year old.

What happened to Via Bella? Just got done with mother's day brunch, and it was really bad. The place is set up as a banquet hall, but it sure seems like they have never had to serve so many people. Our drinks were served in plastic party cups? Is that how weddings are served? The only decorations on the tables were signs that said "table 7" - they could even put a bud vase with cheap carnations for mother's day? It must have been our waitress's first day, too - "do you have root beer?" "I don't know." "Do you have chocolate milk?" "I don't know." The food was just about as bad. A good variety, I'll give them that. The desserts were fine, probably because they were brought in. They had pizza that was stone cold. I mean like fridge cold. There was shrimp with cocktail sauce, but the shrimp were submerged in cold water. I can only assume that they were on ice a few hours ago, but now they're just gross.Needless to say, I'm really disappointed. I remember when they were in downtown Lagrange and it was a *nice* restaurant. This is just bad. They should be ashamed of this service.I want to apologize to my mother for taking her there for mother's day. Next year will be better, mom, I promise - because we won't be going to Via Bella.

Absolutely awful. I’m so upset about this. I’ve never been to a brunch and saved up enough to actually go, and stupidly I chose Via Bella. $200 for food that was cold, flavorless and just plain terrible. I can’t believe how much money I wasted after saving for so long. Our whole party was so disappointed. Please save yourselves the money and go any where else

It was fine. Little pricey but what isn't. Wish the food at the Mother's day brunch was hotter but that is what happens with buffets.

We went there for Mother's Day brunch and the food was just ok. The ham tasted like soap and there was very little selection
