" Lots of great reviews, but I honestly found VIA VAI lacking in certain aspects. The atmosphere was nice, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me—specifically the gnocchi, which felt bland. I think my experience might have been an off night, but overall I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to VIA VAI was truly delightful! The ambiance is charming and warm, perfect for a cozy dinner date. I enjoyed the homemade pappardelle, which was cooked to perfection with a rich lamb sauce. The service was friendly and attentive, despite being a bit busy. Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at VIA VAI was quite good, I was left a bit underwhelmed after hearing so much hype. The pasta dishes were flavorful but didn’t have the freshness I was hoping for. The service was decent, but we had to wait longer than expected for our meal. I'd give it another shot but might keep my expectations in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic pasta, look no further than VIA VAI! The variety of options is impressive, and I’m always wowed by the quality. Occasionally the service feels rushed, especially during busy evenings, but the taste of the food makes it worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at VIA VAI is so inviting! I dined here with friends, and we all loved the variety on the menu. My orecchiette was a warm hug in a bowl, so delicious and creamy! We did have some delays in service, but the staff was apologetic and friendly. I’d recommend this spot to anyone who cherishes genuine Italian cuisine. " (*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*)
