Bologna

This was my second time here and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. There is a small seating area in the front and a larger dining area behind the kitchen. Our server was friendly and offered great suggestions. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts that were crispy without being burned like some places. Three of us ordered the pollo alla joey (breaded chicken, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms in a creamy sauce). The portion is large but could use some type of pasta to soak up the sauce. When I reheated the next day I made my own side of pasta and it was delicious. One person in our party ordered the pumpkin gnocchi and said it was full of flavor. I also had the old fashion as my cocktail, it's strong and taste good. I can't wait to go back.

I came here on July 8 for my birthday. We don't get Italian very often so i picked something different for a treat! My bf and I sat at the bar and our bartender was fantastic. The vibes were great and she really made sure I enjoyed my birthday. I got the lasagna and he got the Italian sliders that were on special. Both of them were fantastic . We cant wait to come back , our new favorite Italian spot .

It's a lot smaller inside than I thought it would be but a lovely restaurant with really nice service. For appetizers, we had the meatballs which were fantastic, the bacon wrapped dates were not good at all in my opinion, and the winter crostini which was alright. We all loved our entrees - the pistachio salmon had a unique pesto and was cooked perfectly. The lasagna was really delicious too. The desserts were wonderful too - the tiramisu wasn't too heavy and the chocolate hazelnut cake was delicious. I would definitely return!

Ambiance is cute although a little tight on space. Service was good, no complaints there. I was actually surprised that the food came faster than I thought. We ordered chicken piccata, a make your own cavatappi w mushroom and olive sauce, salad with chicken, and stuffed shells. Everything was enjoyable!

Food was very good. Service was great. Had calamari, bruschetta and goat cheese for appetizers. First two were great. Goat cheese was more tomato sauce than goat cheese. Bread was excellent. Good selection of wines. No draft beers which many at our table wanted. All the meals were good. Definitely go again.

Good happy hour deals! Very little seating so come early or get reservations. I ordered the limoncello martini which was good but not great, too tart. The chicken Marsala had amazing flavor but I wish it was served with a starch. This is a great place for a more intimate date night.

A very nice restaurant with a quaint vibe. The service was great. The waitress was very friendly with had a good sense of humor and checked on us appropriately. The other staff was courteous and sweet while refilling the water and removing plates. The drinks- Orangecello Martini and Italian Old Fashioned were very good. The food was excellent. We had the calamari which was lightly covered in a white wine sauce - perfect. I had the Florentine Shells stuffed with spinach and ricotta - delicious. My BF had the blackened salmon - the portion size was small for him but he loved it. Oh and the fresh bread - amazing. We signed up for the rewards program so we will definitely be back.

The vibes at this restaurant were stellar and enough for me to want to come back. Bologna is the type of place where everyone is greeted and acknowledged by the owner. In fact he was the one who seated us at our table. It's the type of place where it's not weird to chat with the strangers next to you. Everyone is so casual and welcoming and it feels like family.Of course the food and service were great too. The pizza was yummy and I'd also recommend the tips arrabbiata. We finished our meal with a limoncello slice. I dont recommend this restaurant for large groups because it has limited seating and they don't take reservations. But for date night it's great!

OK...the naming of this place and the branding on their website is kind of confusing...is it Bologna? Or Via Cucina? Or both? Other than the identity crisis, everything else about this place was great. It was a perfect place to go after checking out the lights on Main Street on an unseasonably warm night. They don't take reservations, but when we we called they told us we could put our name on the wait list on their website. The system told us it would would have to wait about an hour, but we were pleasantly surprised when we received a text 5 minutes later notifying us that our table was ready. We got a great little table in the back corner of the restaurant.Our server, Sarah, was very friendly and attentive. We started with the one of the appetizers on the specials list. It was brie and it was quite tasty. My only complaint was that the proportion of bread to brie was off by a bit. The entrees came out just a minute after the appetizer which was a little quick for our taste, but we made it work. We each tried something different for our entrees - others in my party had the Fig 'n Pig flatbread, gnocchi and the build your own pasta. I went with the Tuscan Shrimp which was quite delicious.I'm generally pretty pleased with most Italian restaurants and this one was definitely a winner!

When they were in Sterling Heights that was our go to place. From pasta to pizza it was always the best.
