“With a thankful heart we must say a few words about the recent mercy dinner hosted here to celebrate the wonderful life of our beloved Mom, Paula. Our Halligans family went above and beyond and gave us a little peace during a very difficult time. They created an intimate, personal atmosphere with comforting, delicious food and drink. Their professionalism, care, and thoughtfulness allowed us to spend time with our loved ones reminiscing about the good times we all shared with Mom, without having to worry about a thing. They handled it all flawlessly and our family could not be more appreciative! Trina, Gus and the entire Halligans‘s family, We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🙏“

“My dad and I go here every now and then after work. Great atmosphere and you'll find very friendly people. Bartenders are great and they have an Ami music box so if you use that app you can play music or pay for credits at the box. Music shuts off at 8 if theres a game on though! Go Pats!“

“Stopped on my way through to New York and had a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. Set me right all the way home. Since March I have dreamt, and spoken of this soup often. I had not had some of the things in the recipe before, like banana flower, and it was a joyous and unforgettable learning experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I like that they kept the old Irish pub decor from the previous incarnation, it is a pleasure to eat here.“

“We stopped in as a group for a couple drinks after attending a friend’s birthday party in Millbury. Bartender was really friendly and service was fast. Good options for beers. Shortly after we arrived we were pleasantly surprised that there was live music. He sounded great and played a nice variety of genres. This place was comfortable even for first timers and spotless. I would definitely stop in whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommend.“

This was my first time in this bar and must say I had a good time. I would definitely come back. It was a peaceful atmosphere.“

“Went there for a private party, it was pretty good. It is your local pub bar that you can use to rent out, or have a bunch of time he's get together and drink. Decent selection of drinks nice open place pretty clean tables can't say a bad thing. Nothing outstanding or fantastic about it that would make you come out of your way, but if you're in the area it's just fine.“

“This is what you call a neighborhood bar! The place where everybody knows your name and they buy you a drink or order food for the pub once in a while and vice versa. All the bartenders are great on any night! Cold beer, popcorn machine, keno, lottery scratch tickets, video games and certain game night leagues.“

“expectacuiar rico muy buen ambiente“

“Ahh seafood! We chose Sole based on TA reviews, as Worcester, MA, isn't somewhere we'd been before. Thanks, TA reviewers! You were right on the mark. The oysters were fresh, our baked seafood platters were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the service was wonderful. \n\nThis is a larger restaurant, so it can get a little noisy, but overall, a great meal!“

“Excellent rock ’n’ roll venue!
The Raven has just the right amount of grit that a true rock club should have. It regularly features both local and national acts, making it a great spot to catch up-and-coming bands as well as established names. The staff is always friendly, and the owner’s deep knowledge of rock ’n’ roll history makes the place feel authentic and connected to the music.

One of the highlights is the massive mural on the side of the building, featuring New England legends like Nuno Bettencourt, Hugo Ferreira, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. Inside, you’ll also find an impressive rock ’n’ roll collection that adds to the atmosphere.

Even if you’re just passing through, it’s worth a stop for the mural, the history, the vibe, and of course the music 🎶🎸“

“Great food, amazing mojitos, and awesome service! We’ve been to Green Island a handful of times and have zero complaints. The dollar oyster happy hour is something we’ve been missing in Worcester. Bradley is an awesome server, so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend!“

“Food was great! Awesome beer selection. Stacy our server tonight was amazing! Excellent service! 👌“

“Really upbeat fun atmosphere Zach, our server, made excellent drinks and recommendations for food. My new favorite place!“

“I was in your establishment for the very first time today. The atmosphere was very pleasant, service was excellent and the food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable! I plan on returning sometime in the near future! 👍🏻“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We celebrated our 35th anniversary and my husband’s 56th birthday at Joey’s Bar & Grill in Worcester, and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond — multiple people came by to thank us for coming, especially when they learned we had driven two hours to be there. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and made the night extra special. Dinner started with warm homemade bread and oil for dipping. Scott had the braised short ribs, I had the steak tips with grilled veggies — both were absolutely delicious. We ended by sharing the most incredible strawberry shortcake with homemade grilled biscuits, lemon curd, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream (with a candle, of course!). 🍓✨ In a city with so many options, Joey’s was truly the best choice. We’ll definitely be back — even though it’s a two-hour drive, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“The most delicious sushi 🍣 Staff are friendly. New place has beautiful decor. My fav is the Kai roll. Drinks are fab too. Can’t wait to go back!“

“What a great Italian experience! One of Worcesters finest restaurants it has to offer.

VIA's location can easily be seen by its big golden lit up sign that can be seen at the highway. It is also on a street that is commonly known for it's restaurants in Worcester. The parking is good as long as you ate going after work hours and even if so there is street parking.

VIA's atmosphere feels authentic and modern Italian as it has dim lighting with candlelit atmosphere. This gives away to the brick and mortar style of the building which gives it more of a city Italian restaurant. The music was a bit all over the place from EDM to todays hits. Nothing vulgar but didn't set the mood properly. There was plenty of seating but understandable to have a reservation as the dining room (and outdoor 4 season porch) filled up very quickly. The booths were a bit small but can be moved for better adjustment. The bathrooms are in the kitchen walking past the fresh and housemade display of the gelato giving you a glimpse of what the kitchen is like.

The service was attentive and took care of every thing that made the experience that much better. Our server was friendly and didn't mind to have a small chat that wouldn't have impeded others experience. There was another server that went through and asked us if we needed things that our original server had already asked us. The servers were nice, respectable, and relatable.

Our drinks we had was the Old Fashioned Sweet Potato and the Raspberry Mojito. Both were good and not too strong so that the flavors came through nicely. The thing that made it a good experience for me was the asking of what bourbon I would like with my Old Fashioned. That is next level customer service without any additional cost for substitution.

The food we had was pretty good and worth going back again to try other items. We started off with the house made Ricotta with local honey. The ricotta was creamy, smooth, and easily spreadable. With a local dab of honey all on top of homemade bread toasted on one side made it perfect for a starter to the evening. The main course was pretty good also with the Chicken Parm and Chicken Piccata. The Chicken Parm had a perfect amount of sauce and cheese topping with the chicken itself being perfectly fried that the chicken was still moist. The Chicken Piccata was cooked all little to long and had a slight chew to it with the breading not being to present. The piccata sauce was not too buttery but didn't have to much lemon zest either. The sauce was good if you were able to get some from the bottom to have on the chicken. The capers and grape tomatoes are always a touch on the piccata that is needed. As for the noodles, they were fresh and tasted fantastic. For our dessert we had (of course) Tiramisu and Affagato. The Tiramisu was a good (little bit too much after dinner) portion. The lady fingers were not over soaked and the marscarpone was creamy. The coffee and rum flavors were very present throughout the dessert. As for the Affagato, 2 wonderful vanilla Gelato scoops with crumples of biscotti and with the Pirouline sticking out of the Gelato made the presentation amazing. With the espresso nice and warm and smells controlling the air around made a wonderful pour over the Gelato. The combination was nothing short of being a great affagato.

Overall, I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes and wines as VIA is what it means to have an Italian experience in the city of Worcester.“

“Excellent lunch this Saturday.“

“Went out looking for dessert after a disappointing dinner and found this place, it is just fantastic. We had boozy cocoa drinks and some lovely pastry. The couches are very comfortable too!“

“Best food i ever tasted“

“Festive holiday drinks last night were delicious and made us very merry. Fantastic staff, service and dinner too. Just what my elf and I needed.“

“I arrived close to closing time but the cashier was really friendly and even offered to prepare meals, but I chose from what was already ready. Really good flan, although the area isn't really inspiring safety (maybe that's a Worcester problem in general).“

“First visit to oxfords casual dining this past weekend in Oxford and absolutely not our last. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our waitress was super busy but took good care of us. Also got to enjoy some great music from The Drunken Uncles.“

“10/10 would recommend to everyone! Love this place!!!!“
