Via Maestra 42

​"Hands down the best Italian food I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was perfect, but the food was the real star. Every dish was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for a true taste of Italy, this is the place. 10/10!"

Popped in here for a late lunch. Got the Mare e Monti and I didn’t even finish the sandwich before writing this review. Absolutely delicious. It comes with Smoked salmon, fresh goat cheese, arucola, and black truffle aioli on focaccia bread. The bread was so soft and the goat cheese shined. Think I found my new favorite sandwich in SB. Great service as well.

Do not confuse this with its former self — it used to be one of the fine Italian restaurants in town.It is no longer run by the former owner 10-20 years ago. (A bad In-and-Out burger and fries is much better for 1/5 the cost). We spent $50+ for tasteless spinach ravioli and tortellini, and dry bread brought to the table. The servers were nice, The pasta was not fully cooked. DISAPPOINTED

I had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The service was absolutely amazing. I want to thank Simon who was our waiter. He was awesome and offered to give us a complimentary dish since my husband did not like his dish. He felt very genuine and caring. I am grateful he was our waiter tonight. I also wanted to give a shout out to Robert who was doing an amazing job! I could see how hard and honest he was working. Via maestro is so lucky to have someone like Robert and Simon! They both inspired me to write this review. Thank you for a wonderful date night.

Food was a bit plane. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and it was thinned sauce that barely blended with the ravioli. The ravioli itself was good but cold. My husband ordered shrimp pasta that was just warm, not fresh. His dish was watered down and tasted more like plain pasta. Both of us finished food still hungry, totally unexpected at al Italian restaurant. We also waited 20 minutes for a refill of bread. When I wandered to the bathroom I saw most the chefs using the microwave, very disappointing.
