Dining Deal: Via Vai

CBS2’s Tony Tantillo reports.

WHERE EVER THERE’S GREAT ITALIAN FOOD, AND ESPECIALLY WITH GREAT PRICE, WE CAN EXPECT TO FIND TONY TANTILLO. WE LOVE IT. Reporter: AND THERE’S A LOT TO LOVE AT THIS NEW WELCOMING SPOT, VIAVAI. THE CHEF HAS FINALLY SETTLED DOWN AND OPENED A CASUAL, COMFORTABLE RESTAURANT RIGHT HERE IN QUEENS. DINERS CAN ENJOY TOP QUALITY INGREDIENTS IN A CONTEMPORARY PRESENTATION OF TRADITIONAL ITALIAN DISHES. FIRST, LET ME START WITH THE PASTA. I LOVE THIS. AND I SEE THE INGREDIENT, THE QUALITY. THE THE CLASSIC DISH IS A GREAT VALUE AT $17. ANOTHER STAR ON THE MENU IS THE PASTA. ALMOST ALL MADE IN-HOUSE, INCLUDING ONE OF MY FAVORITES. TRADITIONAL PASTA, I PUT MY HAND INSIDE AND START THE SPAGHETTI AND I PUT SOME SMOKE AND FRESH BASIL. Reporter: AND WORTH EVERY BITE AT $20. WE SPREAD IT. WE CUT AND THEN COME WITH THE MUSHROOM SAUCE ON THE TOP. Reporter: AND FINALLY A DESERT THAT WAS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO PASS UP. IT’S A SOUR PUMPKIN FLAN. IT’S NOT SWEET. Reporter: CHEF, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Reporter: GOT TO SAY, WONDERFUL. WOW, LOOKED GOOD. HOW DO WE GET THOSE DISHES
