“Absolutely gorgeous food, and most welcoming owners & staff.We happened upon this restaurant after my partner played a gig at Museum of Moving Image and are so glad we did. Dominic(o?) the owner shared old photos of his family & made room for my partner's instruments out of the way so they would not get damaged.The salad w strawberries was gorgeous and the port was delicious - a generous portion, not a thimble-full like many places.Defo a place to return to!“
“Visited VITE for first time celebrating anniversary with my husband. Pino is an amazing host and the food here proves it! The Pulpo was hands down the best I’ve ever had in NYC, The Smoked Duck was to die for, and the Branzino over Brussels sprouts was absolutely amazing. If you have not been to Vite yet I strongly advise dining here. This will definitely be a new “go to” for me and my husband going forward! Happy Dining!!!“
“What a find! A friend recommended this place and I have to thank them for doing so. Would suggest the wood-fired octopus, very well done and among the dishes that will bring me back. We tried the Robiola pizza off the recommendation and if you want to mix it up from the usual pizza I would recommend. We ventured from the Italian offerings and had the Truffle Burretta Burger with prosciutto. Try it!! You will be amazed. We saw the food coming out to other dinners and it all looked delicious. Great service as well.“
“Love this place! Everything from pizza, salads, and entrees are excellent! Just like most places I wish they can lower the music. I come there to eat a nice meal in peace and I'm not going to a disco. The loud disco music is a turnoff.“
“The interior was cozy with paintings of Italian landscapes, and the Baked Clams and Ravioli Porcini were a little salty but very tasty. The bread before the meal also had a unique and attractive taste. Needless to say, the steak melted in my mouth. The taste of the coffee did not disappoint my expectations for an Italian restaurant. I was satisfied because I was able to enjoy the taste throughout the meal.“
“Absolutely wonderful place with outstanding dishes. Let me clear out couple things. When you come in to dine here it feels like you just travelled to Italy. Every single item on the menu has a unique authentic flavor and you can even taste the passion and care that was put into preparing it. We are so glad we discovered this place and from now on not only us but our friends are big fans of ViaVai.It is a small place with amazing atmosphere.And if people say that food preparation takes too long, I don’t know what is too long when at the end you receive an absolute masterpiece on your plate!There is no hit or miss at ViaVai, every single dish on the menu will make you happy.Try everything and do not forget panna cotta at the end!“
