We have eaten at Via Bologna's twice and both times had exceptional Italian food. It is some of the best in the area. The menu and wine list both have many options and the prices are reasonable. They do not allow you to bring your own wine. The experience is intimate in their small dinning area. Via Bologna does not accept reservations and we did not have an issue being seated during Monday-Thursday. If we go on a Friday or Saturday, we plan go early so we won't have to wait. I highly recommend Via Bologna.

Only ordered take out from here. Pizza is very good. Pasta dishes are good but can be pricey once you start adding toppings. Service is good at counter.

This is the best kept secret in Clarkston . Great family owned and run with amazing food and service . Nothing overly fancy or trendy...but just plain great. They have an awesome Wine collection, but if you prefer a cocktail like I do, they can make the basics or surprise you with something unique.I love their pasta sauce ...always fresh pasta and the Traverse City Salad. Never had a bad meal here!Update 2020 Quarantine Danny and his team are heroes of Quarantine 2020. We have never been big carryout people..preferring to sit down and enjoy with the great staff. Quarantine forced us into carryout and these guys go above and beyond!

The food was great. Had the sausage and meatball pasta dish. Service awesome and love the ambiance. It is quaint and feels like a little bistro in Italy.

Small and very clean, nice ambiance and friendly servers. No waiting at 4:40 on a Friday. By the time we left people were lined up. Tasty bread and soup of the day. Everyone was happy with pizza and pasta. I can't eat red sauce so I ordered Traverse City Chicken which was very good. BUT for $24 the meal comprised of a thin chicken breast and broccolini, no pasta or salad. Very pricey for a chicken breast. I doubt I'll go back.

Warning:Drink Your Wine At Home Before Going HereWent with family after getting back in town, and have been here a few times a few years ago. Ordered 3 glasses of HOUSE wines to go with the meal. Wine was fine, but when we received our bills I noticed a $19 charge for the HOUSE Chardonnay, $17 for a HOUSE Cabernet and $17 for the HOUSE Chianti. You notice I capped the word house, usually a house wine is usually anywhere from $6-$10 on the high side at most good Italian restaurants. I mentioned to our server the prices and it looked like she knew what I was talking about and immediately offered free Cannolis to us. I asked for the manager, and she returned with the owner, guessing son of the owner. I told him that the owner of the most expensive Italian restaurant in metro Detroit area (name starts with a A) does not charge $19 for a glass of HOUSE wine. His answer to me, quote" JV does not have a restaurant in Clarkston". Wrong Answer. Now to his defense, our pours were 8oz not 5 oz. But we we just asked for a glass of HOUSE wine. We were not offered any pour options when ordering. So that begs the question, how much is the 5oz pour? $12,$13 or $14? Total rip-off. Thus my warning for ordering wine here, drink at home first. Food was just okay, not outstanding. But the free Cannolis were not great, not sweet enough and actually a gritty texture.

The waitstaff were all very attentive, hostess, our waitress, and even other waitresses. All of our food came out very hot and was delicious. The atmosphere was very welcoming and full of guests who went there often, based on interactions with waitstaff. Highly recommend!
