In the beautiful hills of Tuscany, and in the cities and villages that dot the countryside we discovered a simple food paradise which we were eager to bring closer to home. We created VIA to offer you those culinary gems from our visits to Italy in combination with old family recipes, as well as American favorites. VIA captures the rare rustic charm of Italian cooking and dining. Italians love to eat outdoors, so we have created a beautiful four-season patio at VIA, so our guests can dine al fresco whenever possible. VIA is the essence of Italian dining - full of charm and great aromas with our open kitchen, complete with brick-oven bread, baked daily; hearty meats, such as tenderloin, pork and chicken slowly turning and roasting on our spit, and the joys of gelato being created right before your eyes. Like Italy, our inspiration, VIA is a picture of contrasts. The restaurant is both urban and rural, sophisticated and casual, old world and remarkably new. It is a place where singles mingle with families, where private conversations are had among festive celebrations. With this environment and our attention to detail where fresh good foods are concerned, the simple act of dining feels like a joyous occasion. In Italian, VIA means "the way." Come to VIA and enjoy "the way" we embrace our travel memories, our family recipes, and American traditions which are so important to us.

This is the best Italian restaurant in the area. They also have great specials and deals during the week.

Great food and the service was great. It is a bit noisy so hearing the waiter was a challenge. Valet parking will cost you $5, plus a tip.

We ordered bruschetta as an appetizer and we were brought this big plate with toast on the bottom and lots and lots of red and yellow cherry tomatoes with olives on top. The cherry tomatoes were all slightly cut so the dressing they used was infused into them and the tomatoes were very cold which made them so refreshing to eat. We really enjoyed the bruschetta.

Had great hopes of a fantastic meal only to be disappointed by a mediocre meal with fair to poor service. The server had friends at a nearby table and we got very little attention. Asked for water, never got any, never got offered any bread, had to get drinks from bar since the server was more involved with their friends. The service didn’t get any better when the food came out. The presentation was not good, looked like it was slopped on plate. Fortunately the server brought the wrong order, unfortunately we had to wait while it was prepared again. No apologies, no care and no food. The food we finally got was ok, not great. Hastily prepared and brought to table by different server. It wasn’t the meal we were expecting to get at Vias.Overpriced, excessive wait time, poor service and mediocre food. Next time we will go to the old school Italian place that still has great food and service.

My wife and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary here. For $5 plus tip you can valet your car and have no worries about parking. The service and hospitality at Via is second to none. We had two waiters taking care of us and they were always attentive to our needs. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was as well. We had the cannoli duo for dessert which was delicious. We will definitely be back again in the future.

Had lunch today. Very busy but plenty of room. Got a table for 2 right away. Had meatball sandwich which was very good. My wife had the lobster salad sandwich her take was "best one I ever had!". Service was good.

Everything was perfect! First of all, the wait staff is very attentive and willing to help with anything, thank you for that. The apps were great! We picked the truffle fries & fried mozzarella, both were how you want them to be. Not over done, not undercooked, like i said before... Perfect!!! I could not make a choice on my entree so i went basic. I chose the chicken parm. I was not disappointed at all. Huge, thick piece of chicken, cooked to perfection! The marinara sauce was just right. It did not over power any of the flavors of my meal, was a great complement. You get a few choices of pasta to pair it with, i tried the gnocchi. Washed it down with a Kettle One-Lemonade, yummy! I will be returning, thanks again!

Excellent food service and atmosphere
Raina McDermott
Absolutely delicious food and fantastic staff!! spent 91$ (before tip) on an appetizer, non alcholics drinks, two entrees, and two orders of gelato! Also a VERY family friendly restaurant

Scampi was a bit tart/acidic but overall good experience.
Matthew Pacheco
Great atmosphere. Full list of wines and unique cocktails. You'll find standard Italian dishes on the menu. Try the short rib.

Four of us had a business lunch here. It was the first time here for 2 of 4 of us. The service was outstanding. They were on top of things, without lurking. The lunch menu had wonderful variety from salad and sandwiches, to pasta and pizza. We had a meal from all groups and we were all happy. Pictured are the fog and prosciutto pizza, and the shrimp and bean salad. Everything was excellent.The ambiance of the restaurant is also fantastic. Love the architecture and layout.
Jordana Lima
The vibe inside is reminiscent of the 1920s. The service is superb even down to the valet guys. The food was so fresh and I'm almost certain the pasta is handmade. I ordered the bolognese and they did not disappoint! I would absoultely recommend this place for any occasion.
Doug Smith
Great food and terrific service. Even when busy the place is not too loud making it a great place for dates or business meals. Arrive hungry, their portion sizes are generous!
Carolyn Tillman
Chicken Alfredo was absolutely delicious! Served the perfect portion to still be able to try the desserts. The service is excellent. It did take some extensive time to have our food served but it was definitely worthwhile.
Daniel Desjardin
We had dinner last night and the food was great! Absolutely love the grilled caesar salad.
Jason Barroso
Solid higher end lunch/dinner spot. Food has always been great!
John Ruser
Popular Italian restaurant, a bit pricey.
Bradley S
I love coming here. The food is amazing and Brando is the best waiter we've ever had. There are not enough good things for me to say about VIA.
Bobby Gerjarusak
This place is a gem of Worcester. Great seafood soup, pastas, and steak. I was there for lunch with family. Dave was a terrific server. The pastas were huge. We also had brownie sundae and it was delicious. Most main dishes were under $20. What a deal. They also have set lunch for 14.99 which includes a salad.
Kate Bates
One of my favorite Worcester restaurants. It's a splurge but worth it. Great food, great staff and great drinks. This is seriously one of the best places you can go to in Central mass.
Felicia Farrar
Such an amazing meal! Our waiter was fantastic and offered several good suggestions. Both apps and all 4 meals were outstanding. He even brought some blood orange sorbet out for my daughter's 21 birthday celebration. The homemade ricotta app was the best and the pig fest menu rocks!
Nata Vacheishvili
Their food is just amazing! I have never eaten food this good in worcester at all. I also want to add that some of Boston's north end restaurants can not compare to this place! The steak I ordered here is the best I have ever tasted! The grilled ceaser salad is just perfect!!! Staff is nice and service is great. It's a little bit expensive but for a night out its definitely worth it!
Lauren Gardner
Love the food ! The service is great And the seating is comfortable.
Ed Lawrence
Great Italian restaurant. My starter was a beet salad. For my mains I had the braised beef short rib with potato gnocchi. It was fork tender! My after was a tiramisu. Excellent, not too sweet. Would definitely recommend.
Cindy Renaud
Lunch consisted of steak salad and white wine. Both were delicious. David was our server. He was thoughtful and knowledgeable in his recommenations. Our luncheon experience was enhanced because of him.
Sean Duffy
My wife and I have been going here for years. Absolutely delicious food. Never disappoints.

Elif Asar
The best restaurant that I have ever been in Worcester since I moved here. This place is awesome! Grilled salmon salad is phenomenal and a smart recipe. Tiramisu is over the top!! Highly recommend! Lunch menu isn't that expensive for the quality that you get. Also, it has a nice athmosphere :))
Mark Burke
Nice restaurant. Outstanding service. VERY busy on a Saturday night. Need reservations.
Art Johnson
Mostly higher end Southern Italian fare. The pork and seafood entrees are especially well prepared. Nice decor and overall ambiance. Suitable for groups or couples.
Michaun Fowler
Excellent lunch and amazing service. The chicken parm was a very generous portion and very tasty! The $5 drink selection was great and the drinks were strong. Can't wait to go back.
Eric Ewanco
An elegant, inviting place with a warm atmosphere and delicious food. Dining here made me grateful for the luxuries I am able to afford. I was disappointed that, for an Italian restaurant, they didn't have the vegetarian options that I expected, but I did not think to ask for a vegetarian menu, either. But I had one option that I liked, and it was excellent. For dessert, I asked them if they had chocolate mousse, and they did not, but they were willing to fetch it from the nearby (co-owned) restaurant, and they did, so kudos to them for that. I paid $60 with tip for a four-course meal (salad was included). All and all a very enjoyable evening.
Thomas Sartori
My girlfriend and I have been going in for brunch the past few weeks and every experience has been great. The food is is unbelievable and the service is even better, the bartender does such a great job every time, she is very friendly, her cocktails are great, and she handles a busy bar with ease. The food is flawless but she is the reason we have made this our regular sunday spot!
Sarah Gustafson
Always the perfect place for a business lunch. Staff is always efficient and food is excellent! Love the Shrimp and Bean Salad!
Irene Morin
Amazing Bridal shower. Great gluten free options. Huge brunch selection, appetizers and mimosas included. Steak and eggs were amazing.

Lisa Steele l Fresh Eggs Daily
What a wonderful dining experience. The ambience is rustic and romantic, the menu varied and robust. The waitress brought warm homemade bread with olive oil as we perused the menu. Each dinner came with a choice of salads including a delicious beet, goat cheese and toasted garbanzo bean salad or a burrata caprese salad. The duck confit was delicious. It was served over pasta with fig sauce and fennel. Other choices included baked haddock with potatoes and green beans and short ribs with gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce. Everything was delicious and impeccably prepared. Dessert choices included mascarpone cranberry cheesecake, chocolate torta, creme brulee and an exquisite 15-layer crepe cake. Be sure to leave room for dessert. It's worth the calories! And the plate presentation was stellar. An excellent meal expertly cooked and professionally served.
Daniela Leon
The service was great and the food was heavenly. I had the chicken picatta, I highly recommend it!
