We celebrated our birthdays at via last night and the service was outstanding. We were a little rowdy (from excitement of course) but the guests and staff made us feel so welcomed. We were so well taken care of. Food was 10/10 service and ambience 10/10. Will most definitely be back! GIVE EVERYONE A PROMOTION EXPEDITIOUSLY!

As always Tanya our server was exceptional and the food was delicious! The lamb dish is always excellent and the rib steak for two looked amazing. Our guests loved it! Always a very pleasant experience at Via Allegro. Expensive but worth the treat.

First time ever a restaurant was actually so good that I bothered leaving a review! I have probably been to every high rated restaurants in Toronto. Especially downtown! And not once , have I been so impressed by everything that I felt it deserved me to take time to write about it . The service? 10+. The ambiance? 10+. Actually, lights can be a little dimmer before 8pm. The food? 10+ + +. Over all value for your money? 10+. Definitely recommend.
