" I enjoy visiting VIA VAI whenever I crave authentic Italian food. Their seafood pasta was freshly made and simply exquisite. Although the service can be slow during peak hours, it’s never less than friendly. The atmosphere is always bustling, adding to the overall experience. Definitely one of my favorite spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" VIA VAI absolutely exceeded my expectations! The quality of the ingredients used in their dishes is evident as soon as you take a bite. We started with the calamari which were tender and perfectly seasoned. The trofie with basil pesto was a standout, with such vibrant flavors. The staff was also very welcoming, making us feel right at home. Will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at VIA VAI based on the excellent reviews. The food was delicious, but the lighting was too dim for my taste, making it a bit hard to read the menu. The pasta was well-prepared, but honestly, it took an eternity to arrive. Nice atmosphere nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing dining experience! The mixed antipasto platter was a feast for the eyes and taste buds. I could tell everything was sourced authentically. The only downside was the wait time for our pizzas; however, the final product was worth it. The staff tries hard to deliver excellent service, and it shows! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across VIA VAI during a day out in Astoria and decided to try it based on reviews. The pasta was solid, with good flavor, but I found the portion sizes rather lacking compared to the price. Service was friendly, which was a plus. I'd try coming again for further evaluation. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Italian cuisine, VIA VAI did not disappoint! The wood-fired pizzas truly captured the taste of Italy. The ingredients were fresh, and our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, suggesting some great wine pairings with our dishes. It was a fantastic evening out, I highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" VIA VAI is definitely worth the hype! The truffle pizza was a highlight for me. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you can taste the passion in the cooking. The only downside is that it can get a bit noisy when busy, but the food makes it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)
