Nicola and Maureen Pietoso, owners of Over-the-Rhine's Italian favorite Nicola's, have teamed with son and Executive Chef Cristian Pietoso for the more casual Via Vite.
From the restaurant's website:
"Located directly on Fountain
Square, the social epicenter of Cincinnati, Via Vite looks as modern and
stylish as it feels. The cuisine features creative twists on classic
Italian dishes such as wood-fired pizzas and penne Bolognese. Chef
Cristian [Pietoso] features the finest local and imported ingredients
that the seasons have to offer. Handmade desserts and exclusive flavors
from local gelato maker Madisono's are also offered."
"The restaurant, little sister to its chic sibling
Nicola's Ristorante Italiano in Over-the-Rhine, serves more casual
fare, but the creative juices are just the same. Owner Nicola Pietoso
and his son Cristian again pair up to give us a restaurant on its way to
being the newest jewel in our city's dining crown."
