"In Town overnight and Via was recommended by a friend from N.Y. Outstanding food and service. We made convenient reservations online but arrived early and were seated promptly in the patio , no issue whatsoever on the early arrival . The staff wants to seat and turn tables asap owners take note! Our server team Of Josh And Sarah provided an excellent service experience from minute one. Attentive , knowledgeable and extremely gracious this was a customer comes first dining experience from beginning to end. The meal started with a white wine fight and A Peroni on Tap . We enjoyed the fried Calamari and the “P.L.T.” From the Lobster fest menu Proscuitto, Lobster and tomato with Fresh mozzarella and basil. Our included salads were crisp field greens and fresh and subtly dressed to perfection. For entrees we had The surf and turf with Bucatini bolognese and the Braised short rib with Gnocchi and Gorgonzola cream with shiitakes and walnuts. The Teen in residence special ordered a chicken cutlet an fries, which caused absolutely no trauma for the great servers. They were very accommodating . Dessert was a few scoops of Gelato and sorbetti which were light and extremely good! Vanilla, grapefruit and pistachio to be exact. Side note a trip to the restroom takes you past a well staffed open kitchen which appeared to be a sparking clean well oiled operation . Restrooms were very clean too! Top notch restaurant operation with great staff ! Best meal out in a long time for sure."

"Lobster Roll with Bisque. I drove all the way from New Haven just to get this lobster roll! OK, not exactly. I had never been to Boston in my life, the only American city large enough to have major league sports teams where I had not set foot. So on a visit to North America, when my daughter wanted to attend a convention in Yale-town, that gave me an excuse to nick her car for the day and motor to Harvard-ville. I needed an address to plug into the GPS, and after reading Lobster Gal 's review of this roll, it was 'Bob 's Your Uncle! ' At $27, this was the most expensive takeaway sandwich and fries I ever had. I would have eaten it in-house, but finding parking in the North End? No chance. This thing cost as much as the lobster poutine I had at a high-end restaurant in Toronto 's financial district.<br/ <br/ This thing was really just an excuse to eat lobster chunks using bread to pick them up, instead of my fingers. Great meat, wads of it, like I had ordered a lobster dinner, only they put it on bread and drenched it with gravy. This bore about the same resemblance to a common lobster roll as a filet mignon does to a Philly cheesesteak. I didn 't do the dish any favours by hauling it through the Big Dig and across town before I finally found a place by the Charles to picnic with it in the rain. Everything was so soggy by then that I hardly noticed the mozzarella on it. The fries were VERY New England, dark potatoes, skin still on. They definitely don 't make chips like that in Australia."
