For the entire month of July, you can enjoy a salad, appetizer, entrée, and glass of vino for just $29.99 with Via’s Italian Pig Roast.
VIA is, and always will be, one of Worcester’s most-loved Italian restaurants. From the rustic décor, to their open concept kitchen and year-round outdoor patio, VIA makes Shrewsbury Street feel like you’re dining in Italy. After driving past the Pig Roast billboard time and time again on my commute home from work, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try – and I’m so glad I did!
The Insalata Mista was a refreshing start to the meal, followed by the choice of a glass of red or white wine, or Wormtown’s Hefeweizen Warthog Wheat. Don’t get me wrong I love me some Wormtown, but I felt that a glass of wine was more appropriate for the occasion. I went with the Scarpetta “Frico Bianco” Friulano & Chardonnay. It wasn’t the best glass of wine I’ve ever had, but I might be a little biased because I work for a wine company.
Next was the appetizer. I went with the Crispy Pork Meatballs over the Chicharones. The four meatballs were super succulent and the glaze started off sweet and ended spicy. I’d definitely order them again.
The entrée was even more impressive than the appetizer! Both options sounded magically delicious so I knew it would be a win-win situation either way. I went with my gut and ordered the Pork Belly & Orecchiette Pasta because I’m a sucker for carbs. Plated beautifully with a generous amount of pork belly, the portion was a lot larger than I expected, but the black pepper and Parmesan cream sauce was so light that I was able to enjoy the entire plate guilt-free.
For only $29.99, I was able to enjoy a salad, appetizer, entrée, and glass of wine on the patio of one of the greatest restaurants in the city. Thank you, VIA, for making all of my Italian Pig Roast dinner dreams come true. I will absolutely return before July 31 and you should too!
