Our Story

Benvenuti a VIA VAI, where chef and owner Antonio Morichini and his staff provide guests with authentic, contemporary Italian dishes and wines. Experience Italian cuisine in Astoria, NYC, with our menu offerings made fresh daily using only the finest ingredients imported from Italy. Our pasta is made by hand in the kitchen of Chef Morichini and our pizzas are baked to perfection in our imported Italian-made brick oven. Accompany your meal with an Italian wine from our wine cellar, and finish off with one of our specialty house-made artisanal desserts. If Chef Morichini is not in the kitchen, we are not open!
