" Dined here with a large group, and Viale accommodated us perfectly! The staff were friendly, and the food was reliably good. I found the risotto and gnocchi to be especially delightful. The only downside was that the ambient noise level increased quite a bit over time. Still, a solid place for gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down one of my favorite places in the city! The pasta here is authentic and you can definitely taste the freshness. The service is attentive, and the waitstaff always seems knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend trying the saffron arancini and the wild boar bolognese! It's a cozy setting, making it perfect for a date night. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Viale has quickly become my go-to spot for a casual dinner. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, providing the perfect backdrop for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Don't miss the grilled oysters – they were absolutely fantastic! Service has always been prompt and friendly, which adds to the great experience. Overall, a must-visit if you're in Cambridge. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a night out with friends at Viale, and everything was wonderful, particularly the service. While the food was nice, I expected something even more rustic and authentic than what was served. I would visit again, but with lower expectations for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Viale for a casual dinner and it was an enjoyable experience. The food was tasty, especially the tiramisu which was one of the best I've had! Service was friendly and the place had a nice local feel to it. I’d say it’s a great place if you’re looking for something delicious and not too upscale. " (*Curated Review*)

" I randomly visited Viale when I was in Cambridge and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! I loved the pumpkin pappardelle, the sauce was creamy and delicious! The service was friendly, and the environment was lively and perfect for an evening out. Highly recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Viale. Romantic setting with lovely lighting and intimate vibes. We loved everything we ordered, but the service hit a snag when we had to wait longer for our dessert than expected. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)
