" Celebrating my daughter's birthday here was a great choice! The restaurant was warmly decorated with a festive atmosphere. We started with the antipasto platter, which was perfect for sharing. For the main course, I opted for chicken marsala, and it was tender with just the right amount of seasoning. The kids enjoyed their pizzas immensely! I think their dessert options, particularly the panna cotta, are a must-try. The experience was memorable and we're looking forward to coming back for family dinners in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I will be recommending Via Vai to friends! My husband and I enjoyed a romantic meal here with exceptional service. I had the seafood pasta special, which was fresh and full of flavors. The ambiance was cozy, making it a perfect date night spot. Definitely worth another visit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Via Vai was lovely overall. The seafood pasta was fresh and flavorful, but the portion size could have been larger given the price. Despite that, the service was awesome, and they were very attentive to our needs. The environment felt welcoming and cozy. I'm looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the tortellini soup here is the highlight of my visit! The freshness of the pasta truly shines through. The service was friendly, and we had a lovely chat with our waiter, who was from Italy. The ambiance was warm, and we appreciated the attention to detail in the decor. If you are a pasta lover, this is the place for you. The only minor issue was the wait time for our meal, but we were happy to soak in the vibe while we waited. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we stepped into this restaurant, we felt welcomed. The server had a genuine Italian accent and was very helpful in recommending dishes. I tried the gnocchi with a basil pesto and it was amazing! Soft and flavorful. The only downside was that it took a little longer for our meals to arrive, but considering it was a busy night, I understand. The atmosphere was lively and buzzing, making the wait worth it. Definitely a hidden gem in Carlsbad! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Via Vai was delightful. The bread and oil served at the start were fantastic and set a great tone for the meal. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana, which exceeded my expectations, and my husband enjoyed the meatballs. The only downside was the noise level, which made it hard to hear each other speak at times. Still, it didn’t detract much from the lovely evening we had. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight was our first time dining at Via Vai, and it lived up to all the positive reviews we'd heard. The pasta was fresh and authentic, and the portions were just right for the price. We had a minor hiccup with our reservation, but the staff handled it efficiently. We’re thrilled to have discovered such a gem and cannot wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
