I frequent Via often, mostly on a weekly basis. The food is consistently good and the team is awesome. They are consistently nice and welcoming as well as provide consistently thoughtful service. Again, the food is always perfect! The pizza, pasta, risotto, etc are all fantastic!

Places like this used to cover the city years ago. Now, Italian restaurants either are insanely expensive or want to bring you enough food for a family of 4. Via Ghibellina was neither of those. The prices were fair, food was delicious, they had a good number of options, a good wine list with wines with reasonable prices (we had the SuperTuscan and it was very good) The pastas were really good. Nothing like home made pasta to take a dish over the top. They bring you a plate of bread made out of the pizza dough that is not to be missed. The home made desserts were really good as well. We had the Tiramisu and the Creme Brulee which were both excellent and some of the best we have ever had. The staff was knowledgeable, polite and attentive. Next time I will try and have the pizza but the other pasta dishes are calling to be tried as well. If Italian is your comfort food. The next time you need to be comforted, try this place.

Food was excellent, was a little surprised it was pretty empty in there, its an up and coming area, would definitely go back, I had the risotto and partner had the gnocchi, both were delicious, creme brûlée for desert was the perfect size and very tasty.

We've been here several times and it's always delicious. On our most recent visit, we had two different pasta dishes, risotto, the branzino, and a ribeye special. All of them were delicious!

We were greeted and shown to our table immediately upon arrival. The restaurant is in a great location in Ivy City, nicely decorated and the tables are adequately spaced from one another to make conversation at your table easy. The waiter went over the specials, took the wine order and gave us a chance to check out the menu. We enjoyed the complimentary bread, potato croquettes and branzino. I expected the cacio e pepe to be the highlight, I had it in Italy and have been trying to recreate that experience as it’s my favorite pasta dish…unfortunately it did not meet expectations. It was too salty, as were the side of patate arrosto, so both were left pretty much untouched. Overall we had a nice evening and the service was great but not sure I’d return.
