| - Wondeful dining experience, which I am not used to...since I have food allergies, including Celiac. I am used to getting limited choice in meals and flavours, with a side of attitude when I ask about ingredients. Not here at all! Both food and service were amazing!
I mentioned the food allergies to the manager, who was super helpful and pointed out a few things we could eat off the menu The manager even went to let the chef know, and as it wasn't too busy on a Monday night, the chef actually came out and asked about our allergies. Then, he prepared some dishes tha he said would be on the new menu.
Really, I can't describe the food in a way that does it justice...there was a chopped Brussel sprout salad, a gluten free pasta with some mushroom sauce, and the most tender roasted tomato meatballs. Really the best I've ever had. My friends also enjoyed their Marguerita pizza, but I also had to fight them for some of my food once they tried it!
The passion for not only preparing a special meal, but actually being hospitable to guests was really evident. For once, instead of feeling like a pain, I felt welcome and could actually enjoy the meal, and the company, instead of worrying about ingredients. Thank you so much everyone at Via Vai for making our night and inspiring a great evenging! Will definitely be back!
