VIA VAI is a restaurant located in the Astoria area of Queens that offers a delightful dining experience. The owner, who is from Italy, ensures that all ingredients are sourced from Italy, contributing to the unique and authentic flavors of the dishes. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, with dim lighting and candlelight, making it a great place for a romantic evening or a special occasion.
The menu offers a variety of dishes, each with its own unique flavor. Standout dishes include the polpette, which are described as fluffy meatballs in a great tasting sauce, and the tiramisu, which is said to have excellent flavors and not overly filling. The restaurant also offers a selection of wines, although the pours are described as small.
One thing to note is that the chef prefers for the food order to be placed all at once, which may not be ideal for those who like to take their time deciding on their order. Additionally, some dishes, such as the shrimp ravioli, which is priced at $32, may be a bit of a miss for some, as it was described as not blowing them away and having bitter orange rinds on top.
Overall, VIA VAI is a great option for those looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy and romantic setting. While some dishes may be hit or miss, the standout dishes and unique atmosphere make it worth a visit.
