I now go to Via about twice a year for the past 2-3 years. Don't go for a quick cheap meal, this is a dining experience. In a party of 4-6 give your selves 3-4 hours of great drinks, great food, great service. Som and the other staff are always wonderfull. My best night has been the Chef's Tasting, (the large course tasting), with the wine tasting. Book this well in advance as it may not be available if the restarant is too busy. I have rarely felt so happy after spending so much money on a meal. I have taken very important clients, as well freinds and family here, and everyone invites me back as they are so impressed. Don't let the exterior fool you. The atmosphere when you enter is very warm. The purse stand and our server Som are my wife's favourite perks. Wine list is impressive as well as the scotch selection, and they know about thier products. If you just want a pizza and a beer go some where else. If you want a wonderful dining experience go to Via Allegro.
This has the be the best Italian Resturant in Ontario or Canada. The food was so good all you can say to yourself is "When can we go again". Note: Book in advance. Very class and friendly atmosphere. Food is to good to be true. But guess what it is True. Food at his best. Any world known chef would give this resturant a 10/10. FABOULOUS!!!!!
I went for a 2nd time last month. Order 2 glasses of wine, App - Clamari Dinner - Order the Beef Tenderloin. This resturant has it all. I just read the comments below. Yes the resturant is a a+ all around. Should be classified as a TOP 10 resturant around the world. It makes high class resturants such as splendido and truffles like a fast food chain..... I LOVE THIS PLACE.
