La Viola Ouest


In Foodsday Tuesday Phillyist gives out the love to La Viola’s sibling, La Viola Ouest.

La Viola Ouest is the relatively recently opened western branch of my favorite BYO. Western, in that it’s on the west side of 16th Street – the original La Viola is on the east, almost directly across the street. Its menu is slightly bigger, but then again, so is its dining room. Many La Viola favorites are still present on the menu, but several others don’t appear or are somewhat different from their La Viola iterations. It was hard to tell whether the atmosphere was as romantic as the flagship restaurant in a large group, but the food, while different (my favorite, the vitello carcioffi, is apparently limited to the original La Viola), was no less delicious.
