Via Italia Restaurant - Encinitas

You need to understand Italian food from northern Italy to appreciate the wonderful food in this restaurant. I enjoy several meals a month in this restaurant and will continue to do so. The ingredients used to prepare food are the best and the wine list is extensive. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I had too many of the menu items to check every particular dish. I loved them all.

Great little place. I am a local and go to this place frequently and love it. The pizzas are all terrific Great bar, great bartender...overall good vibe.

I can finally say that there is a real Italian restaurant in town. If you are looking for the real deal this is the place to go, absolutely the best in town. The 3 or 4 courses along with the wine tasting combination, give you an amazing opportunity to discover more of the North-Italian gourmet at a reasonable price. For those who know Italy, they know how important a good dinner is for Italian. Time to enjoy, time to delight your palate with delicious new taste and sophisticated dishes, and for Paolo, and his staff, the happiness of his customer is far more important than anything else. Thanks Paolo for your experience and you effort to bring the real Italian food to this country.

This is my new favorite Italian spot in North County! Charming interior and very friendly staff.

My first time here as I read reviews on Yelp for some good Italian restaurant.
