We visited on Saturday before the concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Everything was wonderful from warm Italian bread to Caesar salad to each entry and dessert. Service was attentive and professional. We will return soon!

The food was delicious and service was exceptional. Going out to eat is not a value, even for pasta.

Always a lovely pre or post concert venue. Great food, attentive staff and toasty warm on a cold rainy evening.

Consistently good Italian food at a good price. Staff is always friendly and attentive. I think we've been served by the same waiter for the last 15+ years and he's always amicable. Never disappointed in their Italian comfort food. 👌

Excellent food in a very homey and comfortable space. Italian is my favorite and La Viola will go on my list of top Italian restaurants. The management is communicative and very helpful.

We held a large dinner here for 20 over the weekend, and the team at La Viola went above and beyond for us. From putting the dinner together, to the service, and to the entire experience. 10/10. Thank you so much!

poor management. i was trying to book a private party and there was a slight mis-communication. the manager took it upon himself to call me and explain how wrong I was and let me know they are not begging for anyone’s service. Yikes!

Worst Italian restaurant in town. Our food came very salty. I mean we chewed on salt! The dish also came swimming in disgusting sauce with very little (like 8 strips) of pasta. The decorations were ugly too. The service though was nice and professional but it does not compensate on having a bad chef.
