Just got our take out pizza and it's horrible! Sloppy mess! I don't think I'll be ordering from here again.

Beautifully presented generous portions in a cozy atmosphere. Terrific service and a good value. My guests lived in Italy for years and were happy with the food, so I guess it was authentic. I thought the crunchy flatbread was a little disappointing, but I’m American. I like soft fluffy bread.

The food was amazing and the drinks were good. The service, however, was way lacking. On the way to our table to drop off the waters. The server stopped at another table, meltdown and put our water glasses on the table. They were talking to with an older lady talking to her and our water glasses right underneath the other ladies’s mouth, I thought to myself for sure the server will not bring those water glasses to our table. When she’s done talking to them she’s just gonna leave those there. Boy was I wrong she didn’t bring them to us. Instead of. I said like some New water glasses please replaced at another table in front of another customer while she talk to you. The server looked annoyed at that point and walked away and brought us more water after they bring us our food. She waited almost 20 minutes to come and check on us to see how the food was. The food was great and there’s nothing wrong with it, but if there was an issue. We had to wait 20 minutes for her to come and talk to us and find out what was wrong?? It actually would’ve been nice to get some Parmesan cheese to put with the pasta but at that point it was too late. We order dessert and it took an extremely long time to get there. The restaurant was not that busy so I don’t understand why it took so long. The one issue I would give the food is that the tiramisu was garnished with a typical store-bought aerosol whipped cream. Not some fresh homemade fluffy whipped cream.

Came here for a late lunch on a Sunday. Wasn't too busy and was able to get seated right away. I like that they have indoor and outdoor seating available. Host sat us, and a couple minutes later our waitress came by to introduce herself and take our orders. Everything we ordered was very tasty. Only managed to get a picture of the Caprese and Walnut/Gorgonzola salad. Service was quick and friendly, and portion sizes were perfect. Would definitely come back when visiting Seattle again.

Good pizza friendly staff… I liked sitting outside a few dogs which I don’t mind. The road noise was a bit much at times

We used to go to Pulcinella in Renton, but hadn’t gone for a while since we moved to Kent. Then I found out that Via Marina is a sister company. One great thing we noticed right away was that unlike Pulcinella, this place has an ample of parking spaces available.
Everything was so delicious. The garlic bread was either complimentary or came with the salad, I’m not sure, but it’s wood-fired, so it’s extra good. The pizza was great, as yummy as Pulcinella, which makes sense as they are sister companies. The lasagna looked unassuming but it was a perfect balance of the savory of the meat sauce and the creaminess of the ricotta. We were very happy. With everything

The food was good, but nothing to write home about. Great service and a very cozy atmosphere that seemed more like an extended fast-food venue than an Italian restaurant. Will be going back to try other dishes an update if anything changes!
Quaint little Italian Pizzeria spot. Ambiance was outstanding with a nostalgic feel! Wood fired pizza was delicious, subtle smokiness to the crust, but love that it did not overpower the flavor of the dough! Fresh mozzarella on top with fresh ingredients you can taste! Will definitely come back so I can check out the pasta!
