Viale

WAY overpriced for what you got. $26 for a Bucatini Carbonara portion was so small that it didn't even fill the bowl they served it in and I had to get something else to eat at a different restaurant afterwards (I'm 5'10" 160lbs) because I was still hungry after eating the super small oysters, dinner & 1/2 of Chocolate Coffee Bread pudding that I split. Oysters were the smallest I've ever seen in my life! Good thing they were cheap at happy hour. Definitely will never ever go back there again even for the happy hour oysters.

Really great service, accommodating to changes to make dishes vegetarian. I would try the new restaurant where the Dial used to be. The arrancini are delicious. Unfortunately, we found most of the food very average. We tried the arrancini, salmón crudo, calamari friti, shaved Brussels salad, kale Caesar, gnocchi, rigatoni, fettuccine, margarita pizza, pepperoni pizza, nduja pizza, and cocktails. The pizzas were soggy flatbread style. The pasta was rich but not super complex. The salads weren’t filled and the blue cheese dominated the flavor of the shaved Brussels, the salmón crudo is quite small. Vegetarian options: Most things have dairy but the restaurant can easily remove sausage or meats on several of the pastas.

Shauna and team do an excellent job. Everything is perfect, the food is inventive and flavorful, the vibe is funky and hip. Highly recommend

Nice vibe with excellent food, and dessert

Went to Viale while on vacation in MA. I found it to be better than the popular Italian restaurants in downtown Boston. The food was incredible. My wife, who is a vegetarian with high food standards, absolutely loved the beat salad, shaved brussel sprouts, and arancini that they served her. The meatballs were delicious. Service was great. The manager met with us and was very friendly and accommodating. This will be our go to spot from now on whenever we visit Boston. Vegetarian options: Some great vegetarian options on the menu, but the manager made it clear that they would also modify any dish to accommodate a vegetarian diet, upon request.
