Large Reservation

We had a table for 16. 9 adults and 7 children. The service was outstanding. Bread was constantly served. The waiter was super attentive. The food ….. fantastic!!! Dining with a large party can come with normal disappointments. But not this place. Everyone was served quickly , efficiently and with excellent hot meals. We will certainly be back !!!

We held a large dinner here for 20 over the weekend, and the team at La Viola went above and beyond for us. From putting the dinner together, to the service, and to the entire experience. 10/10. Thank you so much!

Holiday Party

We went on new year's eve with a group of people, the seating was a bit tight I wish I had a little more elbow room. The staff was great and the food was very good. Prices were perfect for the larger portions, I highly recommend trying La Viola, we sat in the Westside they also have an Eastside which is right across the street, just be prepared to bring your own Alcohol.
