Inside La Viola

Restaurant You Forgot: La Viola [Taste Daily/Philly Mag]


The street address and phone numbers are one digit apart. The room is still a sparse afterthought. The waiters are still Italian. The booze is still carried in by customers and the menu is almost identical, still red-gravy satisfying and suitably priced. Warm up with a bowl of red or white mussels ($7) then dive into homemade fusilli with cannelloni beans, sausage, onions and a drizzle of olive oil ($12). Both locations are great easy-peasy weeknight dinner spots. The new location has just one thing the old one doesn’t: elbow room.
