I went to eat at Via Matta, despite a few negative comments on this site. I do not regret it. Food was good, service was good, atmosphere was good, very lively.
If you want to eat authentic Italian, I recommend to book a ticket to Italy, since I have not yet been in one restaurant in the US where meals aren't 'adjusted' to the american taste.
I will definitely eat at Via Matta again.
Pros: atmosphere, terrace, good location
