We have been going to Viale almost since thier inception. We have watched them grow and eaten everything on their menus, many times over! We love them as people, as restauranteurs. The family of workers they have hired are just that. many have been there for years. That tells you something. Always going back, even though we’ve moved a little further from Central

Viale is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in the area. The food is consistently excellent—flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. We love bringing friends and family here because it always makes for a special and satisfying dining experience. The service is great every time: attentive, friendly, and professional. Outdoor dining is especially lovely, with a relaxed atmosphere that makes the meal even more enjoyable. Inside, the ambiance is lively, though it can get quite noisy during busy hours. On a couple of occasions, it was also uncomfortably warm inside, which made the meal less comfortable. That said, it hasn’t stopped us from coming back. Overall, Viale continues to be a go-to spot for a great Italian meal, and we always look forward to our next visit. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Wild Boar Gnocchi, Pappardelle Alla Zozzona, Bucatini Carbonara, Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad, Brussels Sprouts Salad Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labelled vegetarian dishes Vegetarian options: Has some vegetarian options. Clearly labeled. Dietary restrictions: Have dined here with my husband who has severe nut allergy. Staff was very attentive to ensure no cross contamination.
