From the beginning, the staff was incredibly kind, flexible, and helpful in making everything work seamlessly. Not only was the service exceptional, but the food was absolutely fantastic.

It's rare to find a place that delivers both outstanding hospitality and amazing food, especially under a tight timeline. We are so grateful for the memorable experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I struggle with cheese in soups and chili because it "coats" the spoon and feels lumpy. But it tasted delicious as did my tuna melt. The staff were very friendly, patiently answered our questions since it was our first time eating there. The decor and atmosphere were welcoming, homemade cooking and conversation thriving in this business tucked back in a small strip mall location. I especially loved the cork board with receipts for extra meals already paid for, so people needing a hand can get what they need in a respectful inconspicuous manner. What a loving gesture. The pricing was fair or the generous portions. I highly recommend this cafe, they do things right!

I should have just stuck with my over cooked one as that was a nice piece. My husbands steak was also on the lean side and prices were higher for the Mother's day crowd. We visit here alot but I don't think I will choose this restaurant for a holiday meal again.

Hubby got the mushroom Swiss burger, I got the fish with tator tots and mac n cheese. We shared an order on Brussel Sprouts. Such a much better dining experience than before. The Brussels were very good, could have used a little more of the sauce, but hot, crispy and delicious. Husband really liked his burger and said it was cooked a perfect medium, hot and the burger meat itself tasted like high quality burger. My fish was good, I wish the outside were as crispy as it looked like it would be, but the flavor of fish was good, I loved hot how and crispy the tator tots were and loved there were an option. This Mac n cheese, even though as a side was much better than our first experience. A definite 180 on quality, and service. We had a different server to night who was much more attentive and took care of any of our needs. I didn't tell them prior to getting food that I had a gift card at the bar for a previous bad experience because I wanted to be any other customer and see how the food came out of the kitchen. They have done a great job with what we had and I will try them again.

My nephew and niece took my sister and me to Ottava Via for a belated Mother's Day celebration…read more They have been there many times, but it was the first time for us. First, the place is so welcoming. Several different rooms as well as the outside patio, which has bocce ball. It was too warm & humid for us, so we sat inside at a table near the bar. The servers were all very friendly; it seemed a different person brought each course. We had the bread service and calamari for an appetizer. The bread and herb butter were very good, and I understand that it does cost the restaurant to serve it, but $7 seemed like a lot to me. I also enjoyed the calamari. I had the pasta Bolognese (they had some other name for it), which is one of my favorite kinds of pasta. This did not disappoint. I loved the super wide papardelle noodles (also a favorite!) and the small scoop of cheese (burrata, maybe?) on top. My sister had the mushroom pizza (also with a different name). She enjoyed it as well. I am glad they decided to take us there; it was all very good and in a nice atmosphere as well.

I ordered the Public House burger ... a small beef patty with crispy, thick-cut bacon and a very generous portion of tasty pulled pork, cheese, tomato, onion and was served on a properly toasted ciabatta bun. The beef flavor of the burger patty was lost in a sea of the other stronger flavors. Towards the end, it became a bit of a sloppy mess that I finished with a knife and fork. The serving of crispy homemade chips initially seemed small, but was actually sufficient. Thankfully, they were very lightly salted. Not a salt fiend ... Service was both prompt and attentive ... my water glass was never empty and I never wanted/waited for anything. Glad that I visited, but I am not a local and my opportunity to return is small.
