“ We held an engagement dinner here. The service was flexible and fabulous, the food was delicious, and the staff made it a meal to remember! Couldn't recommend more! ”
“ Chicken Piccata pictured, it was good! Ravioli was absolutely delicious However one of veal menu items looked like Russian cutlet and it did not taste good at all... very mediocre, don’t recommend. ”
“ Was looking for somewhere to dine near Astra Lumina at the Abington Arts Center late afternoon on a Sunday. After finding a few places, we ended up at VIA 417, a quaint Italian restaurant tucked into a downtown city block. We were promptly seated in this cozy Italian spot and given a nice warm bread basket that we paired with a wonderful, quality olive oil. Divine! Decided on a Caesar Salad and a shrimp & spinach ravioli w/ a cognac rose cream sauce. Both were EXCELLENT! The salad tasted fresh and flavorful. The shaved parm, croutons and dressing were all just right! The pasta was delicious. Decadent and perfectly cooked with large shrimp. Hard not to finish the plate. My friend ordered the Pappardelle with short rib, which was a pasta-heavy dish that required a take-home box for future enjoyment. Sad that we couldn’t enjoy or even look at Via 417’s dessert menu. I have no doubt that it would’ve been a perfect ending to a perfect meal. For a Sunday early evening, this lovely little spot was quite packed. I suspect it’s likely reservations recommended and a local favorite. ”
“ Such a beautiful intimate restaurant with the most incredible food!!! Such a classy dish that tasted impeccable. Best salmon! Soup was fire and that gnocchi!! Chefs kiss! Will definitely be our new date night spot! ”
“ You know, When I encounter places like this, I want a gatekeep it. I just wanna say derogatory stuff about this location Just so that you won't come because it's really good. And if it starts to get really busy and hard to get in, Then that's gonna be upsetting. I'm not even going to talk about the food, the service or anything. I'm just going to tell you guys to stay away. This is my place. You can't have it! ”
“ I had the opportunity to be part of a pop-up dinner for VIA 417 before they do their grand opening and all I can say is wow I was left speechless from the starters to entire and finally dessert you can really tell that the chef has a passion and cares deeply about your dining experience. You can tell that they really do care about the quality of food that is being served to customers; the ingredients did feel fresh and dishes felt creative but at the same time not too overwhelming. I think people are in for a treat when this place is finally open to the public. ”
“ The food is the reason we wanted to try this restaurant, everything looked and sounded delicious (and it was!) But we will be returning because of the amazing staff. Everyone was kind, attentive, and two steps ahead of our needs. We went with our 6-month-old, no judgement or negativity from the staff just help and attentiveness including a high chair, hot water to warm a bottle, and extra napkins. ”
“ Amazing spot, Great service and friendly staff. Delicious homemade food that hits the spot. And the vibe? Cozy with dim lights, just like home. Huge thanks to Izi for being an awesome owner. Can't wait to come here again! ”
