Reviews for via Marina Wood Fired Pizza & Italian Cafe in Des Moines, WA

Wonderful, made-in-house pasta, sauces, pizza. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, directed us to some tasty favorites.... Calamari was crunchy but not greasy. Spice level was on point for those who ordered dishes with a kick. All in all a great placefor a cozy dinner and will definitely return next time I'm in the area! Read more

Waited over an hour for our food. Waitress checked on us one time and didn?t mention that they had some issues with the hot... water or dishwasher (which we find out from another irritated customer). Food was disgusting at best, bread came an hour and 20min into the nightmare. No apology or offer to comp our meal. The bread was burnt and for $65 you could go across the streetorder jack in the box and still have enough money for a nice pair of jeans at Nordstrom rack! Save your money don?t waste ithere. Worst meal service ever. Read more

Ordered the spaghetti al pesto, sadly cold when it got to me. Had to microwave. It was Eh. Very oily, lacked flavor. Came with... some pita bread pieces that were overly chewy. Tiramisu was beat up a bit, either placed or driver error. Also not very good,overly thick frosting. Maybe the food is better in house. Read more

Found this gem of a restaurant on our last day of vacation and was totally worth the trip! The ambiance was on point with the... decorations and music. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Salads, drinks and entrees were so flavorful. Our server wasin great spirits and very knowledgeable. Via Marina deserves some recognition. Read more

We've gone here a few times and it's a bit hit and miss. First couple times was really good but the last time was a let down. My... wife's pizza crust was really soggy and my calzone was wattery in the middle. Not what you want from brick oven pizza. We'll tryit again and hope for the best. Read more

Delicious food in a sheltered outdoor setting with infrared heaters and fine service! Our dinner last night was especially... wonderful, as we were the only ones enjoying the patio. Later we wandered around the docks, and enjoyed watching a heron fishingfor dinner. Read more

High prices for small portions. The croquettes are a joke and a waste of $. The middle of the pizza was soggy, but tasted good.... I didn't enjoy competing with the staffs chatter in order to hear my dinner partner, it was quite distracting having theirconversations right there in the lobby where we ate. Kind staff though! I wish the pizzas were a few dollars less consideringthe scant ingredients it takes to make one and they're not that filling due to thin crust. Read more

Good place to check out when visiting Seattle. Food was good, the Margarita pizza could use more flavor but the leaiagna was... good. Service was a bit rocky as it took quite sometime to get the food. Also they never brought the balsamic and oil for thebread like other tables. If you have kids there is a kids menu which was not advertised it seems. Read more
