La Viola Ovest

La Viola Ovest (West) is a family owned authentic Italian BYOB restaurant located right around the corner from the Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. To accommodate the growing clientele, with the love and support of our customers for our food and service, in 2006 we opened La Viola Ovest right across the street from our original restaurant La Viola East.

Operating under the same management, our second location offers the same great food and service that our customers love, but now with an expanded menu and private space fit for any family or corporate gatherings. The Italian tradition and culture is perfectly illustrated through our dishes, environment, and our knowledgeable and friendly staff.

    A “brilliant pre-theater choice” in Rittenhouse, this “extremely affordable” Italian BYO can help you “fool your loved one into thinking you’ve splurged”, with “fabulous” eats that are not “overly fussy or contrived” served by a “friendly” staff “straight from Italy” (or at least Bistro La Viola across the street); yes, it’s “too” darn “small”, “always crowded”, they don’t take cards and make you “wait, even with a reservation”, but most still regard it as “one of Philly’s hidden gems.”
