We went to Viale before a show next door at Dance Complex. Wasn't sure what to expect, but enjoyed both food and wine. Brussel Sprout salad and Gnocchi Bolognese were delicious and notable for balanced, not over done, treatment. Wine list was small but both wines we had by the glass were quite good (Verdicchio and 'Mostly Nebbiolo'). Siciliano cocktail was good but seemed bit light on the bourbon, to my taste. Made for a fine start to the evening.

Sorry to say that the experience here was just ok.
Service was fine overall, but server kept coming back to ask if we were ready, and pushing us to go faster.
Food was disappointing. The grilled oysters were tasty, but really small.
All wines seem to be $15/glass, not really worth that.
The food had clearly been precooked and kept (kind of) warm until ordered. The chicken parm was very disappointing. Cheese wasn't even melted on it. Just...

Nice bar with a relaxed vibe and good drink selection. The atmosphere was pleasant, though service was a bit slow. Music not too loud, perfect for conversation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
