    Food tasted good. But my soup of the day was in a red sauce and so was my salmon. My fault I should have asked but I am not a fan of red sauces. I prefer white. I will know to ask next time. Gelato was excellent

    I've been to Via Sforza many times. The food consistently has been delicious and the service always has been very friendly and accommodating. In an area with many excellent Italian restaurants, this is our favorite for both dinners with friends and special occasions.

    Enjoyed an absolutely amazing dinner here with my girlfriend for her birthday. The service was absolutely amazing. Our server was perfectly attentive and honestly made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. The local oysters & oysters with caviar were some of the best we’ve had. The octopus app was phenomenal. For entrees we split kobe filet and the squid ink pasta, both were to die for. And for dessert they brought out carrot cake and a lava cake with happy birthday writing on the plate. Truly an amazing experience. On the pricier side but worth every cent we spent. Thank you Gabriele’s!
