per easy to work with. We had two types of bruschetta for appetizers, an open bar, and one of their prix fixe menus with two to three options for each course. The servers were attentive and kind, even with the half dozen tiny humans running around!

We had our reception at Via Vite in June 2017 and their AC was terrible! I would not recommend an event here during the summer. We asked for them to lower the temperature and it wa...
s as low as the unit would go. The doors were closed most of the time and we were still sweating. My guests were uncomfortable with the heat and I was so disappointed! One of the dishes that was recommended came out very dry. On a positive note, the servers and the Event Manager were very nice.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here the night before our wedding. It was AMAZING!! Alicia Upperman was a great liaison and helped to ensure everything was coordinated perfectl...
y. She was easy to communicate with, explained selections well, was very flexible and always responded to my emails in a timely manner. We selected our own pre-fixed menu (so many delicious options to choose from including vegetarian and vegan if needed). From the pasta, fish and steak to the salad and dessert options- we definitely chose Via Vite first and foremost for the wonderful cuisine! The customizable bar options were convenient as well. The location on fountain square was definitely a hit with all of our bridal party and parents to show off a little bit of downtown Cincinnati (several guests were from out of town). It was also walking distance from our hotel. All in all our rehearsal dinner went very smoothly. We are so happy we chose Via Vite!
