Nice option for a non-pasta focused dinner. Excellent soups were an option as a starter, and a wonderful local steak, cooked perfectly for dinner. Most steaks are sized to share, and our 1kg (including bone) was more than adequate for two of us.

Four of us shared the local Piedmonte steak. A 1.5kg piece was plenty for all of us, cooked medium perfectly, tender and tasty with very nice baked potato wedges and aubergine sides. There is of course some fat and gristle in a steak that size but lots of lovely lean meat and no complaints. Really nice bottle of local red wine at reasonable price. Service very efficient and friendly. Tiramisu dessert very good. Highly recommend this restaurant for steaks.

We had a marvelous meal at La Viola in Sept 2024. We said that we would like to order steak and the waiter explained the features of the various cuts that were available. We chose aged Piedmont beef which was beautifully cooked and some of the best beef I have tasted in my like. The waiter also recommended a reasonably priced bottle of wine to go with the steak. The wine was also excellent. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

The steaks are very good. The cannolis were excellent. Outside of that, I can’t recommend this restaurant. The pasta is simply not up to Italian standards. The service was slow, at best, which played a part in my 3-star review. There are much better options available in the area. Choose wisely!

We had a 4 month old baby and they were very accommodating with space for the buggy. It was no problem. Quick food which was super tasty too!

Small, cosy restaurant with an unexpected selection of beef. The chef knows how to prepare it. I would only wish for a little more passion in the service. Good value for money.

we visited this restaurant based on positive reviews but was quite disappointed. As I have a gluten allergy, I asked for an allergen menu after receiving the regular one. The server's reaction was far from professional—she seemed surprised and annoyed. Without much effort, she pointed out two dishes that she claimed I could eat. Her demeanor made me feel as though she preferred I leave the restaurant. I eventually decided on a flank steak and a salad as a starter, while my wife ordered a veal schnitzel. Unfortunately, my wife’s veal schnitzel was served quickly, while I received both my salad and steak at the same time, completely defeating the purpose of having a starter. To my dismay, I was served a "spider steak" instead of the flank steak I had ordered. The spider steak looked like a chaotic mess of meat scraps on the plate, and it didn’t taste good at all. For nearly €40 (steak + mixed grilled vegetables), this dish was definitely overpriced and not worth the money.

The food tasted very good, especially meat but the service was quite bad. We were waiting 20 minutes for cleaning our table. The waiter didn’t even ask if we were interested in taking a dessert. Finally I asked if I could look at the menu but the waiter ignored me and kept doing his things, so we left the restaurant. We had a very bad experience.

The meat dishes are something to behold. We ordered the Regina T-bone, definitely the best steak I’ve had. The service is good, but as one of our children did not order starters, their main meal was bought out with everyone else’s starters. A side dish and drink was forgotten from our order, and we had to remind the waiter. Overall, would thoroughly recommend for a very expensive night of high quality meat produce.

We were very happy with our dining experience. The food was exceptional without being too fussy. The waitstaff were attentive and kind. We both agreed the pici with duck ragù was one of the best dishes we have had in a long time here in Italy.
