I wanted to fall in love Via Matta, instead it was more of a 1-night stand. Resevations were for 8pm on Tuesday & still were seated 25 minutes late even after checking in with the hostess (albeit the bar area is cozy). It's loud, didn't bother me but may bother some. The service was acceptable with bread/water refills, waiter was helpful & pleasant. The appetizers were served promptly & were excellent (buffalo mozz & the octopus salad). The entrees were correct as a whole but served incorrectly, it appeared that our meals had sat for 10 minutes+/- prior to serving (lukewarm food, poltenta settled, salmon was dry, sauces had hardened....very disappointing). Dessert was fine although in hindsight we should've went to nearby Finale. Overall happy I went, might try it again someday for lunch-might not.
